I was born in NZ but have spent my life between NZ and AU, My sister and dad live in Brissy. Met my DH in NZ while he was there studing IT, after he graduated he wanted to go home to China for 5 years (or so) So here we are in China- I had Ollie here but we are getting him NZ citizenship as we speak. Chinese passport in useless and china doesnt allow dual citizenship. As is tradition, we are living with DH's parents- we share no language, so that has made for an intersting 18mths and everyday MIL and I have disagreements and mis-communications , but its getting better.
Ollie has been BFd I have a bad case of PID and the medication I am on at the moment means I cant feed him. NOT a happy boy. Think hes on a hunger strike.Wont take more then 100mls at a time and thats a mission to get him to do. Nights are the hardest, he wakes up and wants to suckle, cant so just crys and crys and crys, poor wee love. 3 more days of this drug, then 24 hours of water flushing and I can breast feed and then- if I have milk left I can feed him again

My sis says its getting hot and sticky. We are getting cold here. We live 2 hours north west of Shanghai so its not as cold as the north current temps about 3C-15C, mum lives in Beijing, her expected high tomorrow is -16! lucky they have central heating! We dont get a white christmas, but we do get a white chinese new year- its the same as christmas for us really, but with heaps of amazing fireworks everywhere.

Im taking my time to read this thread, so not up with the play yet, will get more involved soon I hope.
