Ali - thanks for the advise, your right, from the ABA information I think it will work itself out - tad stressful thinking your her only food supply sometimes!. Tori is very expressive isn't she - what a cutie..

IK - I have the opposite problem my MIL bought me a nappy bag that I hate, it is very ugly and so not my style (I'm a bit of a tom boy and it is pink with flowers and made of immitation straw!)...DH does not want to take it (for obvious reasons) so I always have to carry it. I feel like such a dag using it that I now just shove everything into my own large handbag.

Rory - good for your for doing your site, Flynn is adorable. can you do mine - he hee - I'm so lazy...

Hi Nickers - I know what you mean about eating too much... What is it about motherhood that makes you eat more and more often? Do you think it is because we are tired and think we need food to 'wake us up' a bit, give us the extra energy we need to get through the night? Or is it that we are enjoying the 'time out' that food provides so we eat more of it?

Ummm, I was thinking in the shower (looking at my belly) that I need to start to do something... Alex has decided that she no longer likes the pram so walks are out - the last two times I've tried to take her out she has screamed so much that I had to take her home (this guy actually had the nerve to comment " what a grumble bum" to me as he past me in the street)..and she hates her baby bjorn even more (will not even stay in it for 2 minutes, which I'm not happy about as it cost $140). Hopefully it is just a phase? She is 7 weeks so apparently most babies have an unexplained grumble period from 6-8 weeks (according to "Baby Love")..exercising at home is so boring.. Oh well, think I will go have a cup of tea and peice of fruit cake and think about it...

take care everyone...
