    Jodi - I'm glad you enjoyed your holiday but I bet it was lovely to get back to your girls. Yay for Emily cutting a tooth.

    Laranna - that's brilliant that Joshua is enjoying his solids so much. I'm still not having any luck with Elena. Maybe he's unsettled because he is about to cut a tooth or start crawling? "They" say that babies get unsettled before they hit a bit developmental change.

    Kristale - that's great that Amelie travels so well. My folks used to live in Harvey and Izzy was fantastic too - slept in the car most of the way and then I think the country air helped her sleep at night too. Yay for Amelie putting her head under water. What a clever little girl. Where are you going for swimming?

    Well, Elena is now crawling properly on hands and knees, pulling herself up on furniture and getting herself into a sitting position. I'm amazed at how quickly it has all happened - a full two months ahead of when Izzy did it. Ellie has her 6 months injections today (should have been last week but she had a bit of a sore throat) and Izzy has to have her 18 months injection too so I'm not looking forward to the next few days with two grumpy girls!

    Still not crawling here, still rocking on his knees hes so close but so far lol!! Jack also has 2 teeth got them last monday and didnt even seem to bother him which im so happy about cos DD was such a bad teether!

    wow slow down Elena!! sounds like she will be walking in no time. hope the needles dont muck them around to much for you.

    Kristale- glad Amelie loved going underwater..very cute!!

    Jodi- glad u had a nice time away. that would be nice to get away!

    Laranna- how did Joshua go with his needles?

    ive been on anti depressants since last wednesdayfor PND, i think this whole year has taken its toll on me and just got to me, it was hard to admit it but im glad i went to the doctors im feeling much better this week.

    Lulu - don't think he's going to start crawling any time soon, not unless he's decided to skip the whole rolling over stage He's still not rolling, only done it 3 times. I'm sure it will happen though. I was thinking he was teething but I can't see or feel anything on his gums.

    His needles went as well as they could be I guess. He cried for about a minute. When the first needle went in I thought he wasn't going to cry at all, but when the nurse started to push the syringe down he started crying. Poor little bubba, had tears and all. Gave him a BF and a good cuddle. By the time we left, he was all smiles again though.

    Blanche - sorry to hear about the PND, but I'm glad you are feeling much better this week.

    Blanche- sorry to hear about the pnd. Good to hear you that the medication is helping too. My thoughts are with you.

    Lulu- We go to oceanic waterbabies at kaleeya hospital in East Femantle but they do have other locations but it is very popular there is a waiting list to get in.

    Amelie absolutley screamed last night for an hour at bed time I thought maybe it was her teeth but I cant see or feel anything and she is fine this morning, except for waking up at 3:30am crying because she had flipped onto her tummy and couldnt get back. That is the first time she has done that and she wasnt happy.

    Blanche - sorry to hear the PND has really set in but good on you for getting some help and great that the meds are kicking in already. Its bloody hard work mentally, physically and emotionally looking after two little kiddies and you're doing an amazing job - don't forget that. It does get better, so hang in there.

    Hi all,
    Just blowin back in again while I've got a spare few minutes- should be folding the washing ut bugger it I say!
    My haven't we got some busy bubs with crawling, teeth & swimming certificates!

    Lulu- good luck with the needles- Harry was fine after his 18mo ones so hopefully Izzy wil be too. Harry had his done at the same time as macey's 4mo needles and I think its better to get them all done together and out of the way. Macey was suppoed to have her 6mo check today but we went to the beach instead as the weather was fab so she'll get hers done next Tues now.

    Blanche: Good on you girl for having the strength to acknowledge & reach out for help with the PND. I can only imagine how low some days must be for you but hopefully the meds are helping you to find the light at the end of the tunnel. My neighbour( & good friend) has just been diagnosed with PND and I've been feeling completely useless in not knowing how I can help her get back to a better place.

    Macey is doing well- loves rolling on her belly but then gets stuck there. Last few days she started pulling her knees up underneath and then pushes backwards with her arms so she ends up off her mat. She is also getting stronger sitting up but still not by herself- is always easier though when she has a full belly to help her rest on :-)

    Can't remember who wished me luck for my massage but it turned out to be faaarrrrr from relaxing. Id been getting aching legs of a nighttime in bed so the guy worked sssooooo hard on my thighs and lower back that I am now 3 days later severley bruised down both legs!-I kid you not! Both legs are black, purple & green down each side and has been so painful trying to sleep the last few nights. My DH couldn't believe it as I hardly ever bruise. He keeps telling me to explain to people how I really got them as I think he worries that people might think that he had something to do with it. So all in all, I don't think I'lll be going back to that massage man again.

    We've had 2 hot dry windy days here and change has just coem thru with an awesome lightening & thunder show outside so I'd be go & post in case we lose power.

    Hugs to everyone (especially Blanche) Never frget that you are a super-mum even if you don't always feel like it. Tommorow will always be a better day that today.
