HAPPY 6mths MARLEY, OSCAR & NATHAN

Hi girls, late again today! Hit the shops this morning and it wasn't too bad. Bought the girls some new stuff from Pumpkin Patch as I am going into work tomorrow for a xmas lunch and wanted Marley to have something new! Got Chelsea some stuff too as I didn't want her to feel left out. Its getting hard now, as I don't want to dress the girls the same but I love the same things! Have to make an effort to choose different things.

Had Marleys needles today and she screamed her lungs out - poor baby! She calmed down after a good cuddle. Then over the MCHN and Marley is 6.81kg, 65cm, head 42.8, she only gained 765g in the past 2 months but MCHN says not to worry as her graph is still reading well. She also is sleeping very well both during the day and at night. She was more concerned with her ezcema. She wants me to see a skin paed in the new year. Poor thing was very red and blotchy today and she has been scratching alot too. She has suggested washing her in DermaVeen bath wash every 2nd day and using the DermaVeen moisturiser 4-5 times a day and see how that goes over the xmas period. If no improvement, then off to the specialist. I told her she wasn't too keen on solids, which she said not to worry about too much, just slowly introduce. She should only be having rice cereal and pear as these are both low risk allergy foods. They worry as ezcema can lead to other allergies. She thinks Marley will grow out of it as it is not extreme and seems to be confined to certain areas, not her whole body. So will see how it all goes. Hopefully the creams will help and we can avoid cortisone.

PML about the hair removal stories!!!! I am a shaver - legs and underarms. Can't stand underarm hair. I ocassionaly get eyebrows waxed a couple of times a year. I never wear bikinis or bathers (I am a boardies kind of girl!!) so leave bikini line alone, that thought makes my eyes water!

CC - you poor thing! Hope your face clears up for Sunday and its not too sore for you. Glad to hear you and DH are getting a sleep in. Enjoy it while you can.

Rory - I might have to get your DH to fix my photos too! Can he remove hips and rolls of skin LOL!!! Sorry to hear Flynn was unwell, hope he is on the improve today. Is the eye still black?

Bath - sounds like a fun xmas party - banks know how to throw a good party. Was MC packed?

Simone - did you put the kittens on BB yet?

Better do some washing, done none today! Back later!
