Hi Everyone,

Hope all the "June Mummies and Bubbies" and all doing really well! Mackenzie is jusr blossoming at the moment! She is almost up on all fours ready to develop the muscles for crawling. I was saying to my MIL this evening I can't believe she will be almost 7 months by christmas ... its reallly scary how quickly time has flown since she was born I am trying to take each moment and really enjoy every minute of her babyhood.

My mastitis is still rearing its ugly head, I posted a thread in the BF section and got some helpful hints and the hot packs are really soothing it. I just wish it would hurry up and get better.

I am fast becoming an insomnic - I just find late at night when all the kids and DH have gone to bed I actually get 2-3 hours to myself. I have no idea how I am surviving on little sleep and it probably won't last ..

Charleyfrog:Thank you so much for the meal ideas! I am making a fortnightly menu so that it takes the "what are we going to have for dinner" equation out of my day and makes my shoppling alot of efficient! Well thats the plan anyway eheheh. How is DD#1? Did the temp go down again? Its scary when they have a temp and you dont know what is wrong... Do you absolutley stick to 4 hourly feed for DD1?? I purly demand feed my DD and sometimes she goes 6 hours without a feed then will feed on the hour for the next 2 ... I wouldn't worry too much if she refuses sometimes it all works out in the end. Maybe she was feeling off colour from the temps ???

Celsie: I am considering going with MCN but have no idea where to start and I want to go to a shop and actually buy them .. not off the internet. Have you any suggections for me on where to buy??? I am so very confused about the pockets / AIO I have no idea what I am looking for. WOW is all I can say for a nappy free baby at 1! In 12 years of child care I have never seen it ... is there a web site where I can learn more?

teepee2: Its so cute when they roll about isnt it! I can't leave the room now for a few minutes to peg washing etc .. because I come back to find her rolled half way across the room! Kenzie did get an oral immunisation at 2 months. I havent got her her 4 month ones yet. I am waitng till 6 months then will catch her up. I have been looking immunisations up and got a little spooked about the side effects. But I think I have decided the benefits outweigh the risks. Great news about the ultrasound!! you must be so relieved.

Debbie: Excellent news on the weight of height of Aiden! He is a big boy!! From memory Kenzie weighed 5.9kilos at 4 months. I have post natal anxiety if you even need to chat please add me to your msn. :hugs:

MumofLewis: Sounds like you had a fantastic time with your sister and Lewis sounds like he is growing well! I checked out the taste website and its excellent! I am going to spend tomorrow sifting through all the ideas I need low calories / inexpensive but tasty meals!

Starfish: What are you studying at uni? I am studying Early Childhood, but have to give it away this semester .. it was just too much for me with a new baby. Congratulation on getting married on Tuesday!! How exciting!!! You'll have to post some pics for us!

As for the washing I use sposies and I feel like I wash 24 hours a day ... I NEVER have no washing I must be doing something wrong!

I changed my username from BabyBella to *Jen* ... babybella was what I used to call my pregnant belly so its not really appropriate anymore!

Hello and to anyone I missed!
