Lea – sorry to hear that you’ve been feeling crook too! You poor bugger – there’s nothing worse than looking after a sick bub when you’re sick yourself. I hope you both feel better soon. Whinge as much as you like – we understand!

Baby Crazy – I’m glad you’re cool with the whole bf thing. I hadn’t thought about paying more attention to her when your bottle feeding – everything has its positives, doesn’t it? It’s nice for other people to have the opportunity to feed Jovi too – shares the bonding around.

Vic – aagh, you should let me know next time you’re in town and we can hook up. I live on the Northside (PM me for my address) so it’s not too far out of the way for you. We’re not too far from the Gateway Motorway. Glad you had a fun time away with your sis and Adam – what did you buy?

Jess – big hugs to you. I’m sorry you’re feeling bad – don’t forget that they go through growth spurts. I bet that after he’s made you worry for a few days he’ll go through one and put on heaps.

Kim – GOOD IDEA about the weight thing. I lost heaps with WW after Charlie was born and I’m keen to do it again. I wanted to start walking on the weekend but was too sore, then it rained today, so TOMORROW is it. I can’t wait. I can put you in touch with a fabulous blogging community who are all losing weight together – I’ve made some great friends through their – so let me know if you’re interested. I found that forums and blogs were invaluable last time for inspiration and support. My blog started as a weight loss one and will turn back into one again soon (it’s been about the pg and life in general of late). Hope your gorgeous little thing is doing well.

Had a bit of a bad day yesterday. DH and I were both a bit over it all, and I was feeling a bit down about Charlie. I know he’s just a little fella and he doesn’t know what he’s doing, but he’s been really grizzly since I came home and while I totally understand that it must be hard for him atm too it can be really frustrating when both of them are grizzling at the same time! Usually it doesn’t bother me too much but yesterday I was fed up. I don’t know how other mums with more than one feel about this, but I have been feeling a bit disconnected from him since I had Toby. I think it’s because I have to spend so much time feeding Toby and doing the other baby stuff that I haven’t had time to play with Charlie much. Also, I can’t run around with him too much or I’ll hurt myself (it’s only been 10 days after all). I know we’ll get back there, but I feel like a phase in our time together is over and we won’t get it back. He’s been pretty good considering everything that’s happened lately, but I miss him and get frustrated by him at the same time! Ah, the emotional rollercoaster that is parenthood… I’m sure things will be fine. Had the first week check up with Toby today and all is good. He’s put on weight, so I’m happy. Poor little Charlie had to have some immunisations too – I left them really late so he’s now at an age where he knows what’s going on. My advice – get them done on time while the bubs are still little and don’t know what’s coming… it’s awful! He screamed so much and needed lots of cuddles. Poor thing.

Anyway, an early night with a book beckons. Hope you’re all doing really well. Big hugs to all who need them (which is probably everyone, including me!) and kisses to your beautiful babies.
