Hi everyone

Diana and I had a good day today. We had our six week check up and all is well (except that apparently I am still 4-5kg over my pre-pregnancy wieght - I didn't need to know that as I feel really good otherwise and all my clothes fit and all...)

Diana has been a lot more settled the past couple of days. I think she may have had a growth spurt last week, which is why she was so restless and sooky. She is 54cm now and weighs 3950grams!

Blueflower - re settling - when Diana was Kaetlyn's age a few weeks ago, she would not settle unless I was holding her, so we co-slept every night for about a week. After this, she was okay to be put to sleep in her bed. The early childhood nurse at the local centre said that young babies need to be held a lot by their parents in order to feel secure. When they are older they will feel more confident on their own. So picking them up and holding them to settle them at this age does not build bad habits.

Mel - good to hear that Jack is doing so well.

Kylie - glad you and Seb are doing so much better.

Welcome Danielle, Jan and Nicky (and anyone else I may have forgotten )

Hope you are all doing well. Diana wants a feed now, so I better go.
