CM - rice drama at your house too huh? DH and I had a mini-barney tonight cos he went and stirred the rice ... which I was trying to cook via the absorption method Boy, did he cop a serve (... and I don't mean a serve of rice). It was just "one of those nights" . Glad to hear you're doing ok, despite icky nappies.
Julia - welcome to our thread. CM's right ... of those of us who post in here there's probably 10-12 baby boys and 2 baby girls. We're all trying to arrange a marriage for our sons to one of the two lucky ladies as it appears there'll be a girl drought in about 20-odd years! Think you'll find we're all a friendly and supportive bunch.
Nina - huge congrats on your wedding! Must admit, I had a sneak peek at your FB pix and you looked beautiful. Looks like you, your hubby and Cohen had a wonderful day. Congrats again. Little Cohen is doing well - 11kg! He'll be sitting up by himself soon, Cam was on the cusp of doing it for about 2 weeks, then one day last week he sat by himself for ages ... and he hasn't looked back.
Anyway, for the benefit of the new thread here's Cam's vital statistics:
Weight: 8.6kg; Height: 72.5cm; Teeth: Nil. Solids: b'fast, lunch and dinner. Breastfeeding approx 4/5 x per day. Capable of: Sitting on his own, but still not crawling etc. Sleep: Approx 8pm-6am right through, although sometimes semi-wakes once or twice to whinge a bit (generally fixed by replacing dummy and turning on his lullaby lamp thing-a-me). He's generally a happy, placid little fella who gets the giggles easily. Oh, and he's mega-ticklish!
I return to work part time at the end of March, so Cammie is off to day care 3 days a week. To be honest, I hate (really HATE ) the thought of going down this path - I would much, much rather be home with him. Unfortunately we really need the extra income, particularly as we're hoping to have bub #2 in the next 18 months. Part-time was the "best of both worlds" compromise. Think I'm gonna find it very hard when the time comes. Anyhoo - enough of the "Andie feeling sorry for herself" whine. I've still got four months to go.
