OMG Rae and Mel- I just read that it was your birthdays yesterday!

Hope you had a great day, did you do anything special? what pressies did you get?

Hello everyone! Glad to hear that all the bubba's are doing really well, I forgot how good it is to be able to logg on and read about the experiences of the other Mums and realize that most of the things we worry about are quite normal!

Ash - I put Alexis in bed with me after her 6am feed, then we have a sleep in til about 9am, so i wouldn't worry, if it becomes a problem and he won't sleep in his bed then i would probably stop doing it, but if it settles him and you get some sleep too, then why not! BTW - how do you put him to sleep in your bed? I put Alexis on a pillow to feed her, then she stays on the pillow and I roll her onto her back and hold the pillow, she can't roll off cos I cradle the pillow with my arm - sounds hard but its actually comfy and she can't go anywhere.

Well we are off for an outing to my work today, they can't wait to meet Alexis after seeing her grow each day and hearing all about my pregnancy details along the way!
Ive been really funny about taking her out into the elements and cry most of the time we are out, I worry that she is too cold/hot, uncomforatable, going to fall out of the stroller etc... Im hoping these anxieties will pass and that I will feel more confident taking her out in the future, I just think she is still so tiny and needs to be at home where it is warm and cosy. But DH is going back to work in 1.5 weeks and I will have to go out at some time and do it on my own, so I will just have to learn to deal with it. Anyone else had these anxieties about taking newborns out?
