    I haven't been able to get on either....

    Summer has had her teeth just sitting below the surface for so long now they are really bothering her but just aren't coming through, happened with all my girls, she has the rosy cheeks is furiously trying to bite everything is dribbling so much that i have to change her several times a day plus 5 or 6 bibs a day, runny poo and red bum. Poor little thing is sick too and is having a hard time feeding.

    I think they get the runs from the excess saliva and the acidity causes a bit of rash.

    I am not sending Summer to daycare until she is 2 or older unless i have to, Tahnie went before she was 1 but she had Paige with her. Nothing against it but i just want my baby with me as long as possible.

    She is getting so strong she can push up off the floor i keep telling her she isn't allowed to think about crawling yet, she goes backwards as when she pushes up she slides back. She can move around the whole loungeroom now just rolling and rolling i usually find her jammed up against the couch.

    Shell i have a little fear of being pg too, only have DTD once but haven't had AF yet so not sure where i am at, i feel so bloated and just YUCK atm i think i would definately be single if i was pg again don't think DH would cope (not that he does anything or helps or is even home long enough) hope you feel better soon.

    Skye it's not good when the washing machine dies ours died last year and our dryer died recently it is always at the worst time.

    SJ enjoy the swimming lessons i am going to do it with Summer but she has to be 6 months where i go only 4 weeks to wait. How is DSS going?

    Prama horse is going well but might have to sell my other one as 2 isn't working too well in the same paddock plus he is being a maniac i am thinking about getting the girls a pony. Hope you are having a good time with your family, you have done well i couldn't spend that much time with mine i would have knocked one of them off by now hehe.

    Off to enjoy my last hour of peace....

    From what I know something in their wee while teething makes the ammonia really strong & reacts with the poo to give them the nappy rash. It can really hurt them.

    trina - sorry about the horse.

    shell - good luck at the doctor's

    poopy isnt planning to crawl or sit up at the moment, he's happy rolling and break dancing. spinning fast on his tummy.

    i cant wait to take him to swim class too. we missed this term, so will start in oct. there's another pool, the Ryde aquatic centre startng in aug but, the term's longer and more expensive.

    poopy had his hair shaved off yesterday. it's a hindu ceremony, represents detachment from his previous birth. he's a baldy, looks like kojak. when i upload the pix, i'll post it!

    Didn't end up taking DJ to doctors.... Doni had my car keys and I couldn't be bothered walking - too cold and windy. I got some teething gel for him and put it on his gums and I can fully feel his teeth coming through up top.

    He is just really unsettled and the only thing that keeps him happy is having the nappy off and the musical mobile above him.... so doing that alot - good for him to have the nappy off for a while.

    SJ - oh wow swimming lessons on Friday - would love to know how she goes I will be starting it with DJ when he is 6 months old as well. Can't wait. I must look into the classes and see if I need to book him in. Let me know how she goes. And thanks for tip re: teething and constipation..... It has only been since Friday and nothing new really in his diet except his normal formula...

    Skye - thanks for tip on teething.

    Trina - yeah I don't think I would cope at all. And yeah I feel the same, so bloated, and everywhere face, legs, tummy arghhhh so hopefully it is just my periods approaching..... My hubby would cope fine, I just wouldn't..... not mentally ready for another just yet....

    Prama - can't wait to see pics of Poopy - he would be soooo cute

    Better go

    It is very strange not to have AF this time as with each child i went on the mini pill straight away and that brought it on, not on any form of contraception as i have bad side effects from everything and am over it and said it's up to DH now.

    Prama how cute little poopy cojak with a cute gummy smile. cant wait to see pics

    Shell why do us women have to get bloating? so not fair i feel like a whale atm and am sick of feeling fat, geez what do i have to do?? go on a model diet??

    Off to get girls to bed hopefully

    Trina - that is exactly how I feel - like a bloated whale and I walked 33km on Sunday so you would think I would be feeling the opposite. Nothing I seem to do helps to lose the baby weight. I have been walking heaps and I still feel very bloated. Hopefully it is just AF coming, fingers crossed. Bought some fluid retention tabs today so hopefully they will help. They used to help me pre-pregnancy.
