Hi everyone. We've had a big day out today for DH's birthday so I'm really whacked. I've been reading what everyone's up to but will catch up as best I can.

Tara - so sorry to hear you've got mastitis and are down in the dumps. It must be so much harder with your other kiddies. I hope the ab's help give you some relief very soon so you can start feeling on top of things again.

Tan - I have the same "problem" with my Izzy - she feeds about 6-7pm and then not again for at least 6 hours. I wake up drenched with milk. I haven't been expressing - to be honest I'd rather get the sleep while its going because I'm not sure how long this blissful sleep pattern of hers will keep up. I haven't had any issues with my milk supply suffering - I can express anywhere from 60mls to up to 140 mls after I've fed her throughout the day. The only down side is that my boobs hurt like hell until she's had a feed!

Kelly - glad to hear you're managing feeding a bit better. I wouldn't worry about your supply being uneven though - I've been really blessed with not having had a single feeding problem and yet I have heaps more milk in my left than my right breast. Nice to get out on your own for a little while isn't it - I did that yesterday for a gf's birthday and it was lovely to be just me again, instead of with Izzy, but I missed her so much and was very glad to get home to her.

Danni - I hope you get your photos done next Sunday - and I'm sure Mason will still be small and cute by then!!

Sarah - yay for the Mother's group surprise. How was it? I hope you gave Juz the rounds of the kitchen when he came home - naughty boy. At least he did the right thing and took Noah this morning so you could relax and get some more sleep.

Ash - how are you going?? I hope things are looking a little brighter for you.

I've had a good few days with Isabelle. She has been feeding, sleeping and settling really well and her colic and reflux really seem to have settled down a bit (hope I don't jinx myself here!), so life seems a bit easier all of a sudden. Hopefully it will continue cos I seem to be sooooo tired all of a sudden.

I'm off to my OB on Tuesday for my 6 week post check up (actually 7 weeks). Really weird but I think I'm actually ovulating!!! After so long checking CM etc I'm an expert now and I swear I am. Really really really hope I'm not because we're going to let nature take its course conceiving No. 2 but a few months off at least would be nice before being pregnant again. Just as well I haven't got the all clear year for BD from my OB - although poor hubby is missing out on his birthday bonk
