Hollye - our DH's have the same birthday! Mine will be 36 though - he's so old!!!! -In numbers, not in looks or the way he acts. Good tip for the panadol/nurofen too.

Thanks everyone for your support on the feeding thing. It made me feel a lot better about the whole thing. DH said exactly the same things too. After spending the past couple days trying unsuccessfully to give more feeds I've decided to just make sure he gets all the milk he can and am giving him a little more solids. He's gonna be 5 months next week!!!! what a big boy he is!

Congrats B on starting solids! HJ, Liam seems to be unimpressed with food thats really different in texture, rather than taste, ATM. He'll gag and make a disgusting face that looks like he doesn't like the taste. But feed the same thing a few days later, or try adding a little more milk or mashing to an almost runny consistancy and he'll take it. So try B back on rice cereal in a few days. It's supposed to help them be more accepting of new tastes. Or she may just hate it, but you'll know for sure after a few goes.

csab - sorry about the clotting disorder. How long will you have to take the asprin for?

Hippiemummy - Good to hear from you!!! Glad everythings going well.

Didi - HOW do you get to the gym everyday???? One of the mums from my MG suggested taking Liam with me and keeping him in the pram while i work out. don't see why not (its a small town gym - heaps of room and not many people). He's really well behaved and easy going at this age, and if he's not, I'll just finish early and go home. So I'll give that a go this week.

My sister finished work today and is now officially on maternity leave. What a strange thing that we're both living in the same town and doing the mum thing together. Very excited about my nephew arriving soon! Anyway, between her and a girl i used to work with who's also on maternity leave, i might have some busy weeks ahead! Good times.
