Hi again,

Reenie - re: pic in ticker. Without getting too technical (er, that's cos I can't ), I cropped and resized the image down to 25pc using Finepix software on our computer. Then went into lilypie and followed usual prompts to create ticker. Where it asked if I wanted to add an image, I clicked on 'browse' and found the pic in my files. Easy as pie, but I think the trick is resizing the image down in the first instance. Re: wind - you're lucky with your girls not suffering wind. Half your luck!

Luey - it may be that it's not sugar that's a problem for your bub . I' was also been told by the accupuncturist/naturopath I saw pre-baby to avoid gluten like the plague, cos apparently babies system's aren't "designed" to process gluten and it results in wind. But I'm a carbo-holic (bread, cereal, pasta etc etc), so while I've reduced my gluten intake, I haven't cut it out completely. I'm also worried about going cold turkey on gluten, because I wonder how Cam will tolerate gluten if he's not introduced to it through me - kwim? Cam used to attach for 40 mins or longer, but in the last couple of weeks he's usually had enough after 25 mins. His sucking has definitely improved in recent times.

Catherinemoses - hi there! Cam has his two month vaccinations next Friday. Goodness knows how he'll cope but I've got my fingers crossed he won't be too upset. Sorry to hear about your DH - you're doing well to manage work with your new bub. How are you finding being away from your bub, even for half days? Guess it's probably not through choice, but hope it's not too hard for you.

I was reading the latest WHO magazine today, and they've got a two-page spread on celeb yummy mummies who have lost their baby weight asap after birth. It's not that reading those articles nark me exactly, but I do wonder why mags insist on celebrating the immediate weight loss of celeb new mums . It goes without saying that if we all had the money, personal chefs and trainers and live-in nannies we too could be a size 8 within 24 hours of birth. By the way, if you see the mag check out the pic of Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt's biological daugher ... what an absolutely beautiful little girl. Yes, she's blessed with uber-beautiful genes, but I was amazed by her looks (... and it takes a lot to amaze me where celebs are concerned cos I usually couldn't give a rat's clacker).

Have a great weekend everyone.
Andie
