Hi Girls!! Thanks for all the congratulations, i really appreciate them.

So Briley is going well. She is growing heaps everyday, along with her hair!! I swear she is going to have a pony tail by the time she is 6 months old!! She already has a little rats tail. She is still having a few issues with conjuctivitis and her belly button though. She has had the conjunctivits since birth and her belly button just won't heal. The umbilical cord was cut way too long by the midwife who delivered her and had to be re-cut by another midwife on the ward. The cord fell off a few days later and had a bit of an infection in it. Now it's not infected but just won't heal. Our Dr gave us some cream for it but its a cream and not really a drying agent. It really need something to dry it out. I'll have to go back and see him. Her conjunctivits went away with eye drops and has just come back again. Has anyone else had these problem with their babies??? I have also made the mistake of getting her used to the dummy!! A lot of it is Brents fault cause even when she is'nt crying he offers it too her! I read that it should be used as a soother not for putting them to sleep and now she won't go down without it. I'll have to try and wean her from it already!! Does anyone else use them??

Mummy - Hi!! I don't think we've met. Anyways i'm Sara!! Nice to meet you. You'll have to fill me in about yourself. Here is a bit about me... I was a regular on BB but my computer got a virus and had to be put in the shop. Since then i really had'nt been bothered. I am a first time mum. My due date was the 30th May but Briley decided to make her entrance on the 5 June. If you read my birth story you would've read about how my pregnancy went. So yeah, thats pretty much it. If you would like to know anything else, just ask!! ANYWAYS!!!! Yeah i am trying to BF aswell as FF. I was exclusively BF but did'nt think she was getting enough so i tried her on formula and she took to it straight away. She does feed from both my boob and the bottle when i offer them. I really want to keep up with BF but FF is easier cause i know she is'nt getting enough out of my boob. At least with the bottle she is. But yeah she took them both very well. Sorry for the short story i've written!!!

Kelly - How you goin mate?? I will definetely be going and having a read of your birth story. I love to read other women stories. You should put it on BB. Im sure there are others on here who'd like to have a gander at it!! I still can't believe i gave birth and i have a little girl from it!! Its still so surreal. So you've go 2 boys now. How's that been??

So things are going pretty much normal with me. I got my first period which has been pretty heavy and is on it's 7th day. My periods before i fell pregnant lasted 3-4 days so i hope they aint going to last this long from now on. After going through the lochia for the full 6 weeks i get my period 3 days after that finishes!!!

I went too family planning last week to speak about getting mirena inserted but they would'nt let me because i was planning to have another baby within 2 years and they use that for more of a long term contraception. I also have to go back and see the Dr about some issues they were having "investigated"(as they put it!!) before i fell pregnant. They may want to continue the "investigation". I was booked in for a hystercoscopy and a laproscopy to look at my ovaries. I was on strict orders not to fall pregnant and walah!, I fall pregnant!!

I hope all is going well with everyone in mummyhood!! I am loving it. Despite a bit of sleep deprevation the last couple of nights!! I tried to put Briley's picture onto my ticker but it said the image was too big so i'll have to work something out so that you guys can see her. She is beautiful you kow!!

I am going to read kel's birth story now. I will be back later on in the week. Talk to you all then

Ciao!
