    Before she went to bed last night she had a little chuck but nothing overnight

    She slept well and this morning she had a 100ml bottle (we normally give her 200ml but have reduced it until she's got her apitite back). She did to a massive runny poo this morning and then went back to sleep where she was when I left for work. It's Matt's day with her today and he does such a good job!

    Hi girls

    I am on my day off from work feeling like crap looks like I am getting a chest infection, getting pains under my chest, between my ribs, but Doni has the same thing and so does another friend, so we think it might be the start of chest infection or something. I have felt like crap all day, mind you not sure if that is from having two nights of not good sleep from DJ waking up all night. arghhhh his teething really bothering him now, he closes his gums together like he is in pain, and waking at strange times at night........ My manager at work said that they normally have bad nights before a big development milestone like crawling or walking. He looks like he wants to crawl as well, he is trying to move so not long now...... I feel like a walking zombie today. Thankfully Doni is home from Melbourne tonight and said he would get up tonight if it is another bad one, coz I have work tomorrow. I just feel like crap!!! I feel like I did at the beginning when he was just a few weeks old......

    Can't remember the posts from the other forum arghhhh sorry girls when I feel better I will post more.

    shell - sorry to hear you're not well.. are you able to leave dj w your mum or stepmum so you can get some sleep and rest..

    jesse is a yummy big boy!!!!

    finally got the tomme tippee plastic food catching bib, we were going thru so many and w the washing machine down it was getting too hard. the bibs are great, they dont always catch the food but sure is each cleaning it!!
    waiting for the washing machine man to come, havent used baby beehinds. but finally started using the eenee weenees biodegrable nappy pads.. they come with pants which you wear and they have pads which you insert and then throw away.

    lol, i better see what the little man wants he's t'talking' heaps now.

    the other day, had him on my chest, bum on chest and legs wrapped around my neck and was talking to him. he kept bringing his head closer and closer to mine with such a loving look, i thot he was going to give me a kiss, but no.... he tried to gobble my nose!!!

    Jazz has learnt to poke her tongue out! It was so cute last night. I kept saying "show me your tongue" and she'd poke it out every time, then I'd laugh and she'd laugh and stick it out again to make me laugh. This morning I went into her room when I got up, she was just laying there awake but being quiet. As soon as she saw me she poked her tongue out and laughed, then put her arms up for me to pick her up. So cute!

    hellloooo... its a bit quiet in here isnt it!

    Prama - i hope you are doing OK, you need some time for you to relax and chill out. I had a bath with MJ tonight, havent done that for months as she is normally in the Tummytub or if she f=goes in the bi bath is with her Dad, but it was really nice and we played and splashed.
    I can def recommend that.

    Shell - glad you are feeling better AF is a bugger! im due next weeek and have started to feel the symptoms already

    re the tongues, MJ has been poking hers out for ages and blowing raspberries... the other day she pulled off a feed and leant over and blew a raspberry on my arm and then looked up at me as if to say - look what i can do.
    She also licks everything and generally sits with her tongue out most of the day...

    Glas Jazz is better

    gotta go, MJ just woke from her nap, i will be a human milk machine for the next hour then she goes to bed
    have a good night everyone
