Hello!

My gosh, I can hardly keep up with you girls!

Jem - my DH is a pilot so is away at least two nights each week. The last couple of trips he has come home to both Ben and I in tears! I think I just get worn out with having no one to take Ben off my hands for even a little while. I don't know how you do it with more than one! There is never any chocolate left in the house by the time DH is back from a trip.

Sacha - Ben is a very quick feeder so maybe about 10 mins max to drain a side. Good luck on Sunday with the baptism. I hope the day runs smoothly for you!

Mel - I hope you find out what is happening with Charlize soon. It must be heartbreaking for you to watch her go through this. Little babies really do tolerate so much don't they!

Megan - Ben has just started this crying in the pram business. I am perservering at the moment, but usually end up carrying him and pushing the pram. Am now taking the baby bjorn with me for back up! I hope it is just a phase - he used to be fine!It is awful here when your baby cries in public too, everyone just stares at you like you shouldn't have brought him out of the house!

Veronica - it is summer here and has been very hot. Finally it is starting to cool down, but I find Ben feeds alot! I demand feed and probably feed him every 1.5 - 2 hours.

I am so envious of all you girls who's bubba's sleep all night! Every night I think tonight is the night and then when he wakes up I get so disappointed! Thankfully he is a quick eater and always straight back to sleep.

We spent today at immigration getting our visa's renewed and getting one for Ben. These things always take hours and hours and hours. Ben was a very patient boy though, thank goodness!

Taking him to the baby clinic tomorrow for his monthly weigh in. I love finding out how much he has grown!

Mel
