tania - jayden is clever for knowing all those animals, hope his nappy rash clears up for you, it feels like archie constantly has nappy rash when he wears disposables, one thing that seems to be helping atm is Gaia baby powder at every nappy change, and using moisturiser on tissues instead of wipes. Hope it clears up quickly for him. Sounds like an interesting SIL you have there, ggggrrrrrr to her!

Nat - Ems hair sounds gorgeous, would love to see a pic, you should make it your sig pic!

Shazz - sorry to hear you've still got sickies, hope it improves soon

Sara - sorry to hear you are having trouble with this pg, sounds like you are coping really well with everything though, fingers crossed the pain goes away today and it isn't a kidney problem. Good on Brent for fixing the pation , Briley must love the freedom.

Just got back from exhausting the bank card!! betts and Betts have buy one pair get 2nd pair free so i got DH 2 pairs of shoes, his are all falling apart, he is still in bed cause he worked last night so i reckon he'll be excited when he wakes up to new shoes. Just discovered that one of the many baby stores here sell modern cloth nappies so spent up on those too, naughty me, oh well wont get to spend money on anything again for a long time so might as well make the most of it. i think Archie has shot up again, he looks all tall and skinny all of the sudden probably why he spent so much of last week sleeping. he now has 7 teeth, 4 up top and 3 down bottom, though there could be more i never notice them til they are well and truly out of the gum, he seems to teeth constantly so i just pay no attention to which tooth is coming through next casue i figure they'll come through whether i know about them or not!
