I wouldn't be game to try to get rid of the dummy yet. It has to get put in after every meal or he cries. I know he's not hungry it's that he gets bad wind & once the dummy is in we can then burp him. We do intend to get him off it by 12 months so are hoping that the wind & chucking will be completely resolved once solids start.

We've cleared a large space in the middle of our loungeroom. Brock is rolling all over the place so we thought it was time we gave him the room he needed so he doesn't keep rolling into couches. He looks like he's enjoying it immensely. He looks like a turtle when he's on his tummy craning his neck & head up. It's hilarious.

livyloosmum - nipple thrush - that sounds pretty awful. Glad I'm not BFing anymore!!! It's great you are feeling human again - it's so nice to have a little break. It looks like we will be on our mini break next week. A few days away somewhere midweek. It will be nice to have DF about all the time without any distractions of family and friends.

smudgiesmum - if you've been on the minipill for a few months now the spotting might have disappeared because your body is now used to it. Have you had some late nights or have you had to get up more during the night lately? That could explain the tiredness. I so understand your concerns re pregnancy. I am quite paranoid that it's going to happen to me again. It's ridiculous because it took me so long to have a baby and at my age my chances are getting so much lower all the time but still I imagine it's going to happen. I'm completely hopeless with pill taking & each month I have a very nervous wait towards the end of my cycle. I have done HPT's on a couple of cycles as I thought I might be, but I wasn't. I'm now charting in an effort to stop testing like that, and to try and stop stressing about it. At least I would see a temp rise if I was pregnant. I think in my case it might be caused by me wanting another baby but I'm not willing to give it another try for a number of reasons. Fingers crossed that your HPT's keep coming up negative.
