IK, that is great that Oscar is starting to stand up - great for HIM that is!! My little lump is still rolling and has only the last few days started rocking back and forth on his knees, but even then not very often.
Dee that is such a bummer about uni - I know how you would have been looking forward to it - I know I was when I first enrolled. I still remember writing my name in my diary like a school kid and going through the orientation show bag on the lawn. Pity you are going to uni in the days of "voluntary student unionism", because I imagine Orientation Week aint what it used to be (not that I imagine a mum with 5 kiddies at home wants to go on a pub crawl with 200 17-18 year olds though LOL!!!)
Mel - I sympathise on house looking like a war zone! Mine is only just getting back to normal after our renos.
Ali that is such great news on the house!!
Nickers - poor little Nix! Last thing you need with morning sickness is spew to clean up!!
Amanda - I have tried to be industrious today - I cleaned the house and with the oven on in one hit tonight baked a cake, roasted a chook, made zucchini slice and roasted a fillet of pork (gotta love convection ovens - now we will see if they really do stop cross-flavouring of food!)
Karen, I so get the "It isn't really my cup of tea" LOL! Oh for a live in cook/masseuse/cleaner/nanny/personal trainer!!
Flynn was mariginally better last night - he woke at 12.30am and then 5am for feeds, then at 6.30am for good. OK, I "cheated" (LOL!) - he had formula at 8.30pm but I don't think it was that which kept him alseep. I think he is hungry and annoyed in the evenings that my let down isn't quick (it takes at least a minute of constant suckling to get my milk flowing). This has led to a circle where I have milk at 6.30 when he wants a nibble after dinner but not at 7.30-8pm when he wants a goodnight feed. As it was, he had 200mls of formula tonight after fighting the boob for 30 mins. Part of me is sad that he is off the boob but another part is happy that I can give him formula and know his tummy is full and satisfied, and that he is still getting 2 or 3 good BFs over night. I know of a few mums in my mothers group who are still BF first thing in the morning and during the day with a formula feed at night. Funny, when BF was going so well in the early days I was convinced I could get to 12 months without formula, and it is still wierd for me giving him a bottle and seeing him happily scull it, but I am slowly coming to accept the situtaion.
Better get this stuff out of the oven and get ready for work tomorrow. It's gonna be a pretty big day - I have a 2 hour training session in the middle of the day but still have to get my normal workload done!
