Morning everyone! I was just typing a reply when the old thread was closed!

Gaahhh...does it ever end??? I woke up this morning with a blocked nose, sore throat, nausea and diarrhea . I must have caught Joel's gastro. K had the runs the other day so I guess we've all had it now (except DH). DH has to go to a meeting at work this morning, but will come home afterwards to look after us all. I hope he doesn't get it too!

Hope you all have a better day then me!!

Thanks Ladies

Trish sorry to hear your all not well, hope it passes quickly.

Mo - Congratulations! That is exciting news!! I would love to start for number 2 but will NEVER EVER be pregnant and so isolated again. So will wait until we move closer to a hospital that can deliver.
Was just thinking the other day (looking down at my still expanded tummy!) how much I loved being pregnant. Told DH same and he looked at me with this frightened look on his face. he he he - am evil sometimes.
Well my friend is very nervous about her little one coming. She is due 5th July and her partner gets back from down south in a little less than a week after being away for almost the entire pregnancy - gotta love the defence forces!
Was just reading her bellybelly group and one of the ladies was saying all sorts of stuff about how she is feeling...loose bowels...baby dropped....etc etc...and all I could think about was - she's going to be first!! Didnt say anything of course! But oooo how exciting!
I sooo can't wait for her to have her baby - its a little girl - only problem being that I can't pass any of my clothes onto her cause she is a different season! Born in winter when Caitlyn was born in almost summer! So I just gave her some socks and singlets that C used to wear oh and the most gorgeous little hat!
Anyway - had better go get some work done.
Again Mo - congrats!!

Mo - you little hootah!! Well done... wow ~~~~~~~sticky~~~~~~~~~

Trish - you poor thing - what a pain!!

I also send a dose of MIL-repellant for those in need.

I need to start a poo discussion.

Talk to me about what baby poo is supposed to look like at this age...

I have banned cereal and whaddayaknow, little man is pooing again. He had snake poo with banana, big round ball poo with cereal and prunes (to which i find he's allergic... stupid preservatives), and semi loose poo with vegies...

What is normal?

[~Trish~]

Viv - I dunno what's normal. Both my boys are so different, Joel used to keep 'em pretty soft. K normally does what I call "pellet poos" which are hard and small. (Almost always does one in the bath still ). But when he was unwell the other day it went soft, then runny. I prefer the hard ones because I can just flush them straight down the toilet and there isn't much mess. Man...I can't believe I can talk about poo so fluently lol.

Ooh, some good news from me (not pg sorry ), I'm getting another new car soon! I've only had mine for 6 months, but a new deal came up where we could get a cheap weekly lease deal (as cheap as our current one), but I also get a $500 fuel card. The only catch is I have to get whatever colour and model they choose. Seeing as I only have a base model Camry atm I thought it was worth the gamble and I'm getting an Aurion Prodigy! (DH works for Toyota) It will be silver and have leather seats, nice! I should get it in the next month or so, so at least I have something to look forward to! DH is downgrading from a Prado in September . He is getting a Rav4, still a nice car, but I love the Prado! We have been so spoilt from his work, we've always driven crappy cars that we could pay cash for so this is lots of fun!

Good poo descriptions NT- sounds about the same around here.

Was it the cereal or prunes giving allergy grief? Most dried fruit has that 220 preservative, but i did find prunes without it.....

Ceral is crap- particularly iron fortified. Iron can cause constipation. I get that they need iron, but there are foods, like prunes which are a great source of iron without the constipating effect. So many backed-up cereal related stories around....... JMO of course!
