    agggghhh!! just went shopping to buy a top for my SILs wedding this weekend and truly realised how overweight I am - you know when you know but its only when your confronted with the awful shop mirrors that you realise how bad it is (and of course its now too late - for the wedding at least to do something about it). YOu see I had a goal to be trim taut and terrific - oh well back to prepreg weight/size (which was still o/weight by the health stats) by the wedding but have got no where near it (not that I have ended up trying as hard as I should have I know) - consequently haven't found a shirt, don't want to find one cuase don't want to waste my money and a) buy something I"ll wear once, b) buy something that looks horrid or like grandma. Sorry girls just having a bad body image moment.

    Bath - hope WAde settles down - I've been having similar hassles with Benjamin on a regular basis lately I was thinking it was maybe just the age (maybe I was just hoping that) but by the end of the day I have to keep saying to myself to calm down and try and be positive and happy rather than just barking at him.

    Tanya - good to see you again - hope the docs can help you out a bit with Lucas' reflux sorry ahve no suggestions but it sounds like you've probably tried all the standard ones anyway.

    Neeny - wrote a big personal to you yesterday and lost it but yes enjoying townsville although the constant gale force winds are getting to me. Love the strand these days with all the work they did to it 4 or so years ago it has plenty of places for the kids to play and little kiosks everywhere for the necessary accompaning coffee for mum.

    Oh well sorry for lack of personals - since I'm now home should get active and do something since my lovely DH has invited people over on Thursday night for dinner and we leave for Sydney on Friday morning for the wedding and DH has also said I'll pick someone up from the airport on Thursday if required I should take advantage of a toddler/guest free day and make some progress on all the things I need to do.

    ETA - can any of you Sydney girls give me a weather prediction for Sydney for this weekend eg what to bring for bubs (although we will be inside a fair bit) eg if I bring just winter stuff is he going to be too warm??

    High chair - we do similar to others and pull the high chair up to the table - even now Samuel sits in it while we have dinner (unless asleep) as he is then generally happy and quiet otherwise it is arsenic hour. I love the peg high chairs (or any of that style - I think Steelcraft, fisherprice and as dee said childcare have followed their lead and are now all very similar) too but was given a second hand one that went up and down and although doesn't recline stills hold a young baby quite well (unlike some style which even older babies tend to slide out of) and is suitable for pulling up to the table so they are part of the meal cause I am like you IK I do not allow wandering round with food they must be sitting and generally at the table (unless we are outside) - when Benjamin was at an in between stage I didn't buy or get a booster for the table though he had his little table beside ours and sat their (couldn't use the highchair as he was too long and couldn't get his legs in (mine has a bar across the front which most of the newer ones don't)
