    Hi girls, just a quick one today. I just got home from helping to deliver my new baby nephew! I wasn't planned to be in the birthing suite with them but got a call from my brother in law around 6.30pm (I think he felt completely out of his depth!) and went in about 1/2 an hour later. My poor sister was sooo exhausted but did so so well. And little Daniel is gorgeous! Born approx 1.05am. He was born 2 weeks before his due date. (I've already told her off about this since Liam was 2 weeks late ) My sister is on BellyBelly but I don't actually know her nic.

    It's brought up really strange feelings about the c-section and birthing experience I had. Feeling more ripped off and 'incorrectly birthed' than I have. Might have to explore that a little more at a more sane hour.

    Goodnight everyone! hope you're all sleeping well.

    Hi everyone,
    Hope you are all enjoying your weekends
    1stbub - That sounds so exciting, did it make you clucky? It probably is a good idea to research and think about your birth experience and why it went the way it did, I will be doing the same when we start trying for no.2. I hope you have had some more time to relect and realise that it is not your fault and you did what you could given the circumstances.
    The April payment is per person as far as I know.

    didi - you are a powerhouse, congrats on the weightloss and good luck with the toilet training.

    Hollye - how is Mia going with the milk and solids?

    I was at the dentist yesterday as I ended uyp with a dry socket, excruisiatingly painful. I'm going back to work tomorrow (where has 6mths gone?) so hopefully it's better by then as the whole thing is daunting enough.
    Olive is still croaky but seems a little better. I have put her on soy formula when she has to have it so will see if that makes a difference and have stopped giving her rusks and only giving her baby porridge. Will see how she goes and take her back to docs if she doesn't improve soon. She never got a croup cough though. It's so cute when she gets upset now cause she yells "mum-mum, mummm" I know it doesn't mean anything yet but still. Dh is very jealous.

    Hi Girls,

    Today is my birthday, I've had a pretty uneventful day as DH worked all day so the girls and I spent the day with my mum. Friday night was good though coz as I said the other day he had planned for us and the two girls to stay in a nice hotel and go for dinner. It was great, so relaxing I really enjoyed it. I didnt want to come home.

    OM - Good luck tomorrow for your first day back at work, hope you don't have to start too early!!! Hope Olive gets better soon. Yay on her saying mum mum mummm. DD1's first word was Dada so I had better start teaching Lara how to say mum and hopefully it will be her first word.

    1st bub - Congratulations on your new nephew, that would've been so special being there.

    Gotta go, we just arrived back from my mums so I need to put the girls to bed and head for a shower.

    Hope you all had a great weekend!

    Happy Birthday Leigh!!!!
    I bet it was nice to have a night away from the housework and normal life and feel abit spoilt. Did you end up going out with a girlfriend for your b'day as well?

    I don't have to start until 2pm thank goodness and work until 6pm so it will go really quick. My tooth is killing and Olive has decided to wake up though so hopefully I get a decent amount of sleep. She was horrendous yesterday, couldn't put her down at all without her screaming, not sure what the go is. It would be so much easier if they could tell us, need one of those machines like on the Simpsons where it decipheres Maggie's cries. I think I will take her to the doctors if she doesn't improve JIC she has developed and infection since Wednesday. She hasn't been coughing much though, luckily she has been feeding better. I hope she gets better, I feel guilty enough going back to work let alone if she is sick. Ok it sounds like she is asleep so i'm off to bed..again
