Pheewwww what at day!!!
Its all over! The baptism went great! no hitches. only prob was that we had about 8 extra people turn up that never replied and everyone turned up that said they would (normally poeple dont end up turning up).

Kaetlyn looked so cute in her dress and word quickly spread that I had made it myself, so everyone loved it even more!!! She looked so cute in her 'after party' dress which was pink with sequins on it!!!
She was very well behaved as well, only cried when she was hungry (and as time flew by i swear i fed her every hour)!!!

Nanny and poppy brought her a swing thing that rocks- so poppy set that up and she fell alseep in it afterwards when we were opening all the pressies. She looked so cute in it also.

I will post some photos up when I get some- I didnt use my camera at all so will have to get copies

V- I hope that breast feeding is getting better, but by the sounds of it its not getting better. Hope your problems reslove soon. Have you tried the ABA to see if they have any solutions? I have the number to call if you want to call them in WA.

Jan- I hear you on the wondersuits- KAetlyn is now in 00 wondersuits, i think it is the material as they seem to shrink when they are washed (and put in the dryer )

Well am off to rest on the couch for a while, I am zonked as I have cleaned the house after the party already (one of the bubs that is 3 weeeks younger than Kaetlyn projectiled over our polished floor boards and wasnt cleaned up properly )

hi all,

Jan, I have to admit I never have recorded any feeding or dirty nappies. I guess I probably should have to make sure everything was working ok. I think he might have just had an off couple of days 'cause he definetly wanted to eat today. But i also tried out the infants friend and got better burps so that might have had something to do with it. We still fit 00 bonds singles too. Do you think maybe the wondersuits shrink a little?? 'cause the kmart brand terry suits are fitting really well. (fyi the kmart ones are under $5 each this week)

Veronica, don't feel bad about wanting to stop. You have done a great job with feeding and you have perservered through some tough times. You should be proud of yourself. If formula works best for the 2 of you then go for it. cause both mumand bubs need to be happy and healthy. When you do express how much to you get out. If you are emptying then your body thinks it needs to maintain that supply. You could consider trying a quick express just before the feed too. Apparently if bbs are quite full, the bubs get a really strong stream of milk which hits them in the back of the throat and can make them fuss around because the feeding is uncomfy for them.
Expressing before the feed may reduce the pressure.

Sara, glad the baptism went so well. Your little girl must be too popular foe no shows.
Oh spew on the floor boards and it wasn't even Katleyns, that must have been a pain. Just think one day you will have mashed vegies all over them too

hope you all have a good sunday.
