Happy Birthday Kim! passes you a baby bilby chocolate

what a great present, i think i would love that too, not even sure where you get that done. Unsure what i would do with bilby while getting hair and makeup done. But what a great idea.

AJP - as bilby's first turn round the sun approaches, i wonder how i'll cope too, her delivery was so traumatic and everything went wrong, it was so upsetting, i am not sure how i'll cope with the dicotomy of
- being so happy my bilby is here, i love her to bits
- being so sad to think about how she arrived, cos we both nearly died, and it was awful
so i am conflicted about this.

TURN AWAY IF YOU"VE JUST EATEN OR ARE ABOUT TO




bilby had two nappies last night, that smelt like parmasean cheese (major ewww!) or someone being sick
have no idea why
sooooo revolting.
anyone got any ideas why that would happen?
she's eating her usual pureed fruit, yogurt, custard, as much savoury pureed as i can get down her, often watered down with vanilla custard (which i feel so guilty about, but it's the only way i can get anything savoury down her e.g chicken and veg pureed). oh and the breakfasty jars e.g creamed oats with figs and sultanas, muesli with blueberries.
Still not happy with mashed or soft pieces, so i try and put a little of that, amongst custard.

Christy, bilbs is cruising heaps in her playpen, it's two metres long and she does lots of shuffling, flamingo legs up and down, hand over hand like zorba the greek dancing. We keep wondering if the walking will be before she turns one too. the standing unassisted she keeps trying, for a few seconds at a time.

Strange how we're missing the breastfeeding, noticing the changes, lengthen of feeds shortening, number of feeds decreasing. I wonder when bilby will start cuddling, i yearn for that. Interesting to hear babies preferring daddy. i guess that's good for the daddies after feeling 2nd best for ages!

hands are tingling, that's enough typing for now.

had more personals, but - got to go.
