Welcome Heidi. Channing sure is a biggun.
It's been very quiet in here.
I've been MIA as we've all been sick. Started out with my DstepD on Sat night going hot and cold and going off her food (she's NEVER off her food so we knew something was up). We were staying at my Mum and Dad's that night and my Dad got food poisoning from some kabana he ate so we made a hasty retreat home the next morning. By Monday morning DF was sick, by Monday afternoon I was. Some coldy kind of virus going around. DF spent most of Monday night coughing and throwing up. He's had the week off work. By Tuesday night I was feverish and full of a cold symptoms, I came out in a rash which is itching like crazy. We were both on the mend yesterday and today we both feel human.
It was soooooooo hard to get up to Brock for feeds and he has started to wake in the middle of the night again. DF ended up with a chest and throat infection so the doctor told him to stay away from the baby. He forgot to mention that I was also sick so of course I got left with all the baby duties even though I was contagious as well - I'm just not a smoker so I don't get as sick (he is a smoker and gets ridiculously sick every time he gets a cold). You know what men are like when they are sick..... I had two babies to look after.
Tuesday night Brock got the runs in the middle of the night.... that was fun. Wednesday night I got the runs.... even more fun. It struck whilst I was in the middle of doing a nappy change. I had to place him on a wrap on the floor with just his singlet on whilst I dashed to the loo. I talked to him from the loo to keep him calm whilst I sat there and then finished him off soon after. Back to the bedroom and DF didn't have a clue what had just happened and then I was off to the loo again. Our house is just germ city at the moment.
Brock started to sneeze and cough yesterday and is doing a heap of it today so I'm hoping he's not going to get too bad. His temp has been a little high, but not overly but I got some baby panadol today just in case we need it in the middle of the night. He has the cutest little cough, but he's doing it way too much for my liking. He did sleep through the night last night (10pm til 7am so it's a record).
He's had a nasty case of cradle cap for a couple of weeks. It started on his eyebrows and ended up all over one of his eyelids as well as his scalp. We finally seem to have it under control. It's not all gone yet though, it's just looking a whole lot better.
On a good note, he's steadily putting on weight and is now 5kgs. Forget how much he grew but he is a bit taller.
Better go, Brock is letting me know loud and clear he's overdue for a feed (his fault, he overslept). I'm hoping for a nice healthy weekend for all of us, don't know if there's much of a chance of that.
say hello to my li'l fella
so i'm hoping its the start of a trend! he went down at 8.30 tonight so crossing my fingers that he wont wake up till 5am 
all he does is get really really cranky, then i'll give him some bottle and he'll be happy again, smiling and playing for another half hour... then he'll get cranky again, so i give him some more bottle, another half an hour, CRANKY AGAIN! so yes thats the pattern he forms if he doesn't get enough sleep...
I'm dreading it a bit...
for the sleeping babies! Isn't it bliss! 
Melissa and Ashton - love his name! WOW he is a big bubby! I thought Coop was big but Ashton takes the cake! IKWYM about giving birth to someone who looks alot older than he really is! Sounds like he is reaching similar milestones to my lil fella - I was washing bottles yesterday afternoon and he was in rocker and next thing i hear the pull toy 'singing' so he is starting to get some voluntary hand movement also! It was so exciting but this morning he has done several times and I can see myself getting sick of the 'song' in a few weeks time LOL
