Ooh how exciting for Tanya, hoping it is a nice quick labour for her.

Well like Nickers this is my first time posting in here too. We finally made it back to Karratha on Sunday after around 7 weeks in Perth and boy was I looking forward to getting back to my own space and creature comforts. The kids were such troupers on the 2 day drive, we only had a couple of crys out of Alex and Gabriella was a star.

The last week though has been a bit of a nightmare, we all had gastro even poor Alex. Think he is still suffering a bit as he did a power chuck last night over my neighbour and I was up most of the night with him being unsettled. DH is back at work today after a month off so we are now just trying to get into our routine.

Alex so far has been a really good baby, touch wood. Very placid. He tends to feed around every 2.5 hours during the day for around 20 minutes, any more then that and he will spew it back up. He is very greedy though, if I don't stop him he would just keep feeding and feeding and feeding....he is averaging putting on around 500 grams every 10 days at the moment which the paed says is fantastic. At nights we find he is unsettled from around 7-11 and then usually he will sleep till around 2 and then till around 5-6, so all in all not too bad.

Welcome Simone also to the group, looking forward to hearing all about Annaleise's progress.

Am exhausted now though and DD is watching some brekky tv so I might go ahve a lie on the couch whilst I can. Ciao.
