Hello, just popping in to say hi, Ariya is finally asleep and I have an assignment due in tomorrow. OMG my house is such a pigsty I can hardly stand it. anyone else having housekeeping issues? I feel bad asking DH to help out as we have an understanding that when I'm not working I happily look after the housework but I cannot keep up at the moment! DH is starting to make comments about it so I am feeling really bad :-( Add to that I had a couple of days of bleeding and I think that's what was making Ariya so fussy as I think my milk dried up a little, it's back in force now and the bleeding has stopped - hoping it's not AF already - that would be my luck. OMG i am so jealous of those of you that have cold rainy weather :-( it's still so hot here

Sonia - I always put Ari down on her tummy - it is the only way she will settle, DS was the same. I am taking her to the chiro as she is fussy on her left side also but I think it's also because she has a strong startle reflex and wakes herself up when she is on her back. At night we cosleep and she sleeps on her side mostly but she can also roll over by herlself from back or front to her side but as long as K can lift his head he shouldn't have any trouble.

Ozzie - the4 vac shouldn't be too much of a problem as the rate of vaccinated children in Australia give protection to those unvaccinated, I would make a point of not going over if there is an outbreak of measles etc in the community but generally it should be OK. also your BM will offer protection until Oskars own vaccinations kick in

Karina - i love my clth. I have 12 terry flats plus 1 berry plush, 1 baby beehinds 1 bumgenius pocket some pilchers and a couple of snappis. we use cloth all day and disposables at night and when out and about. I am just buying nappies slowly and building up my stash - it's addictive! i do do a lot of washing but they all go in the dryer and as I buy more I should have to wash less.

rachel - those pics of grace are precious, she is so cute and soo much hair :-)

sasha - sorry to hear about your sister, it's hard when other people think they know what's better for your bub. It's so good that you are strong enough to stick to your guns. i love staying home too so I completely understand. I love my dryer, I bought it when DS was 6wks old and we were living in Maryborough where it rained everyday! def a good investment

OK gotta run - so much to do and so little time :-(

OK gotta go do this assignemt
