Hi girls. long time no speak. Have been so busy that I haven’t had time to write anything. Have been trying to keep up with everything though.

I’ll start with us. We are all good. Grace is getting bigger and bigger (and longer and longer!). She is rolling now so there’s a new challenge, trying to keep her on her back! She can’t roll from tummy to back yet though so she gets over, cracks it, so I roll her back and over we go again!

We started her on farex today. She absolutely loved it, she was so excited she was looking around for more, although we didn’t want to push it too much. She has been waking up a lot more recently just for a feed and then she goes back to sleep so we think that she is getting hungrier and hungrier. She has tried to steal my food a number of times recently and she stops dead in her tracks and watches anyone who is eating, so we decided to give it a go. Don’t want the poor girl to starve!! Lol. So, it went well thank goodness. Has anyone else started? I think I read that Izzy and ?Ari are on solids. Is there anyone else? This wasn’t a light hearted decision and I was so nervous but we think we are doing the right thing by her so that is the main thing. Plus, we are pretty close to 6 months. Has any of the other breast feeding mums noticed that their bubs poos consistency has changed? Grace’s are a bit thicker now, and have been since about 4 months…we think this may be her digestive system maturing as nothing has changed and this happened. So fingers crossed that the feeding goes well.

Off to sunny Gold Coast on Saturday…can’t wait! So need some warmer weather! Must start packing soon! Got some swimmer nappies for Grace…can’t wait to get her in the water, it’s gonna be so fun.

The little boy in Melbourne that died recently allegedly from the flu was in my suburb so that got everyone a bit concerned. The adult in Melbourne that died actually died from complications from another illness he developed while he had the flu, so I actually feel that maybe there was more going on with these people than just the flu, this has put my mind at ease.

Karina – good luck with MCN. Have to admit we haven’t used ours for ages, we found that she just wet through them so quickly and would then crack it as she hates being wet. Disappointed with this as disposables are so expensive.

Sarah – sounds like you’ve had a rough time with Ari lately. Glad she has settled a bit for you and fingers crossed that it continues. Would have to let you know a bit closer to the time regarding meet up, depends on finances etc. Jess and I are the only melbournites. There are 3 of you in QLD, one in NSW, one in SA, 2 in WA that’s just off the top of my head.

Welcome JenP, you sound like you have had a good run too.

Hello to everyone else, sorry I haven’t done personals but 10 days worth of your chatter is a lot to catch up on!!! Lol!! Take care and hopefully I will be back soon.
