I had a great time at Snakes & Ladders. I didn’t realise how loud the kids can get lol. Poor Em got a bit of a shock. It was good for him though and he still managed to have a nap and a feed without getting distracted at all. He also played in the balls for a bit lol. I also managed to get Em weighed while I was out and he now weighs 5.27 kgs which I am happy with! So he has put on 400g in a week and a half after all that worry. I still got a new teat to try though (a Pigeon one) and he took 150mls in 10 mins which was great. He didn’t have any wind problems either. I will see how he goes over the next few feeds and I may change permanently. I am getting a lovely expensive collection of teats now LOL.

Vic ~ Em doesn’t get washed everyday either. Normally every second! He never really gets dirty though you’re right. The shower thing sounds interesting. I may have to try getting him ready for the shower, jumping in myself then getting out to grab him then get out together…. I don’t have an ensuite and Em screams once he’s out of the water until he is dressed. I will try it when DP is around first though I think!

Kim ~ Congrats on getting Darcy to self settle you must be rapt!!!

Jess ~ Glad to hear Patrick is gaining weight! And YAY for house hunting – you must be so happy! I’m sure Jack would be fine.

Sara ~ Read Kellee’s birth story – it is definitely worth it! In fact Kellee you should copy and paste it into a birth story thread – I think everyone would love it!!

Kellee ~ LOL I do the same thing with Em. TBH I didn’t really do anything to stretch it out – I just wasn’t as quick to offer the bottle IYKWIM. Today we were all over the joint again but we’ll see how we go tomorrow with the new teats and all. I hope Charlie gets a good nights sleep – I’m sure he’s thrilled to be sleeping at his Nans LOL. OMG I wish I had dinner at your place – I had reheated pizza hehe!

Alison ~ OMG @ $30-$50 a bottle – no wonder you’re looking for something cheaper. I was using the Tommee Tipee ones – I can’t remember what they are called though. The milk doesn’t come out at all unless bubs sucks. I can’t even squirt the milk out with my fingers. I got them from Big W and Woolworths. If you’re having trouble finding them I can always get some and send them over for you if you like! Glad to hear that Cooper is improving with his feeds as well.

Shazz ~ That is great that you are walking every day. Its so cold here I’m never really motivated though I should be. I should get a new headset and rechargeable batteries for my walkman and then I could listen to music and I’d probably go more often. Em would probably sleep through it as well which should be great. I’m actually thinking of joining the gym. The gym I want to join has a crèche which is free for members which would be handy for when I couldn’t get DP or someone else to watch Em.

Well I started this early this evening and then was interrupted. DP came and picked Em up so I could have my precious few hours alone on a Monday. So I vacuumed, mopped and dusted among a few other things. An hour or so after they left I checked my phone and there was a missed phone call from DP so I called back. All I could hear was screaming LOL… so DP drove back because he couldn’t settle Em after having him cry for almost an hour non-stop. Of course he fell asleep in the car and has been an angel since hehe! Cheeky little sod! But I still managed to get my finances sorted and my ironing done. Now all I need to do is my tax… so close!! I’m pretty tired so I think its bed time for me.

Hi to everyone else and big hugs for your bubbas!! Night girls!
