Hi all,

you girls have been busy chatting!

Caro, S used to make that noise. Didn't seem to be when he was in pain, I don't know what it was really but he doesn't do it as much anymore, so perhaps it will go away with Michael as well. I have to go for my pap soon too... ugh.

Karina, I so don't want to go back to work. I really want to just stay home while S is small, and look after him plus any other babies we might have. Unfortunately I've got 10 weeks' work I've committed myself to in about 6 weeks' time... and I'm really not looking forward to it! I have to kind of change my attitude towards it, because it's going to happen now, and if I dread it then it will just make it worse. Luckily with teaching I do get to finish early some days and I can bring work home with me, but still, you know? I hate the idea of S being in daycare. Luckily M is fine with me being a SAHM, so once I finish this round of teaching I can do it, yay! Next year I'll possibly do a day a week of relief or something, we'll just see what happens.

Nat, isn't it funny how when the internet is down you kind of feel a bit disconnected? We had that about a month ago, and I really noticed it.

Jessica, glad to hear Tate is doing well apart from the extra feeds. S feeds every three hours, most nights!! He fed and slept a lot more after his shots as well.

Met Mum in the city yesterday and we went shopping for some clothes for me, I really needed some shoes and a new bra, also got a nursing singlet which is great because I can wear it to bed and I don't have to get up and get dressed to feed S (I just usually wear a bra and knickers to bed or I get too hot, but it's getting a bit nippy to be sitting around in my underwear nowadays!!) It was great for Mum to spend some time with her grandson, and also to be able to try stuff on without having to worry about taking S into the changerooms with me or anything. Still need to get some new jeans but that can wait a while.

Well, I'd better get some housework done I guess while I've got some quiet - S is having his long morning nap so it's my chance to actually do things!
