I feel like people must groan in here when someone else joins this huge group LOL! It must take a long time to get through personals. I wanted to jump in, but don't know if I'll have time to post much especially due to the amount of girls in here, I'm still used to our rather small bellybuddies group. It's a sad day too as the May 16-31st belly buddies group has been locked for good and we are still waiting to hear on one person - Babushka Doll about her baby. Has anyone from that group heard anything about her? I know some people in here that I shared my pregnancy with, and Hi to the many others I dont know that also had bubs in May. I'll do my stat thingies to start and I hope to keep in contact in here as best I can.

Other baby related things - I'm BFing and sucessful with that so far, I'm using disposable nappies and at the moment will be sticking with that, I am demand feeding, baby sleeps in a crib next to my bed. I am planning on being a SAHM till Leo is in school as I did with my other children, although I do have business interests I pursue at home with our company so Iam very fortunate that way. Leo has a tongue-tie which will need to get fixed which affects his feeding if he is tired but thank God no other problems, just sore shoulders poor boy!
Pleased to meet you all!
