Hi Girls,

Welcome to the new Mums, it's great hearing about new bubs!

Debbie - Sorry to hear your AF arrived. Just think each AF that comes is one closer to getting a BFP! Well that's how I used to look at it, not that it did much good for a while there But it will come.

Tina - Sorry to hear about your flooding, what a pain, especially when your sister is here.

Starfish - I'm hunting on ebay too for a playpen or gate, I think I will get a playpen that opens up to a room divider because we have a big opening that's too big for a gate.

Elliebelly I can really understand how you feel about childcare, it's only natural. My MIL looks after Lewis and I was very teary the first week but I know he is fine and you do get used to it. Mel the Kiwi Mum had the same experience too and she will probably tell you that Jackson is loving it now. I really appreciate my time with Lewis now and I think he receives better attention from me as we have less time together.

Lewis has been doing his usual and waking up at 4.30am and not going backto sleep for 2 hours. But this morning he woke up at 5am and then after his bottle he went straight back to sleep until 700am! It was great. He had a late night last night , 8pm instead of 7pm so maybe that was it.

I tried him with a bit of toast but it just stuck to the top of his mouth. Does that happen to anyone else? Do you leave it or fish it out?

His crawling is developing, he now shuffles his legs forward and then lifts his right arm and it kind of swings in the air for a few seconds before he does his belly flop! His left arm is fixed solidly to the ground!

Well it's miserable today, we are just off to Aldi to stock up on nappies and wipes. Does anyone else use Aldi nappies? They're great and much cheaper than Huggies.

Oh and BTW Target have a great baby sale on this week, cheap clothes and nursery things.

Hi to everyone else. Oh and Charly I am very jealous to hear of your hols! Lucky you it will be lovely
