Hi Everyone

Just another quick one for me today as Bella has been very whingy and has been very unsettled. Just put her into bed so am really hoping that she will finally go to sleep.

Thanks for the comments on the pic. Tan it was taken with a digital SLR. I actually studied photography when I left school but back then when I was trying to find work in the industry nobody had any work available at that time and it got to the point where I had to look at other jobs as I had moved out of home when I was 17 and I had bills to pay and I never got back into looking at working in the industry again. But now that I have my little princess again I have remembered how much I love taking photos - I think it is the best way to capture those moments in life that you don't want to forget.
I have been thinking of starting my own business doing photography. It is a shame that we are so scattered around Oz as I would love to take pics of everyone's little angels.

Sarah good luck with extending the feeds I had a similar issue with Isobella and I eventually got it to 3hourly feeds but the last week has been hectic and have been feeding her when I have had the chance so her routine has been mucked up a bit so I am going to have to work on it again from tomorrow. Don't ever think that you are a failure as a mother. All our children are so different and we have to remember that. We can only try different techniques until we find the one that works for us.

Rae glad to hear that things are going well with Tia. BTW thanks for the photos just haven't had the chance to reply.

Dan wow baking! Great news about Olivia hopes she keeps this up for you.

Ash sounds like things are getting better with Blake and his feeding. Where did you get the thickener from. I am thinking of trying it with Bella for her night feeds as she has been wanting to feed constantly at night from about 7 then again at 8 goes to sleep about 9 and awake at 10 then wants to feed again till 11-11:30 so I am thinking that if I thicken the feed at 8 she might sleep that first bit of the night instead of waking to eat.

Kelly sorry to hear that you are having issues with feeding from the right side again. Have you got in contact with anyone about it yet to see why Luke might be refusing it. Keep us informed - I have to admit my little one doesn't like feeding from my left as much and if I am trying to settle her she has to be in my right arm.

Lulu I have tried using the same techniques too but half the problem is me as I am not used to routine and keep forgetting to do it. Atleast she isn't going to bed at 2am anymore slowly but surely we are getting there.

Actually once I get Bella to sleep at night she will probably wake at 2:30 (not always) for another feed and again at 5:30 where I then bring her into bed with me (cause DH gets up for work) and she will sleep till 10am then feed again and sleep till 12 so it is just a matter of getting her to go to sleep earlier in the night.

Geez so much for a quick post. Oh well glad I can type fast. Hello to everyone else that I missed.
