ive decided to continue BF and stop expressing.
And i have to be more diligent with feeding him siting upright.. even at 4am (which is the hardest time!!!).

Belfie - no AF here... been a Looooong time since i actually had an AF lol...

PP hun you have to do what makes you & Ethan happy....
i wish i was able to still be BF'ing..BUT i highly doubt i would have been able to..my supply was shiat!! and that was because of my meds.. and NO amount of trying to boost my supply would have worked...

Hello all
Busy day here for me, I decided that the fridge and freezer needed to be defrosted and cleaned, It was getting a bit much. So up early and all the good unloaded in to cooler bags power off and I was ready to go. I must say it all went pretty smoothly and now I have the bestest cleanest fridge in Cairns if not Australia.

The rest of the day I just was a lazy bum. I had my nap with Bethany and yeah that was about it.
Andrew got an exercise bike today from his grandparents so is merrily peddeling away in the other room (along with the drying clothes junk etc!) he has rigged up the other TV and DVD so you can watch things as you peddle so who knows we could all become super trim anytime now!

PP~~ I hope the feeding thing works for you, I think the important thing is whatever works for you and Ethan and that you are both happy Maybe check out the ABA site??

Bethany is a real hand sucker too at the moment that and the endless drool. Although the drool seems to have let up

Well I should go and do something about dinner and the squealling wiggle worm on the mat...
Back later maybe!!

he too is happily wriggling kicking away with no pants on on his mat infront of the telly i just had to nick up the shops..left him in daddys hands...and come back to a wet mat....wriggle boy decided to be wee wee boy...

PP - I'm also in awe of your sewing abilities. As for BFing I agree with the girls that it's up to you. But if you want to continue maybe you can consult someone for help?

amy - Can you come clean my fridge?

Hi to everyone else!

Yeah Maya sucks her hands all the time too. Sometimes she tries to stick both in her mouth at the same time and they don't fit together. She also keeps making herself gag by sticking her hands too far down!

Tomorrow is my niece's 1st bday and I'm not looking forward to going TBH. Everyone is going to want to look at her and hold her and she'll cry when they do! And then all I'll hear about is wind and that I should burp her! arghh! They never think she could be crying cos there's too many people around her.. it has to be wind.

dragon tends to suck his pointer & middle finger so he makes that chuckin up sound every so often. So scared he'll do some damge...

u girls r prob sick of me talking abt DP but...what can i do to get stronger? i jst cant say "no" to him...he has his little episodes & all i can do is bear with it and cling onto hope with my dear life...*sigh*

TERU Sorry I can't give you any advice. I just wouldn't know what to do.

Ok. So it's been 2 nights now that Byron has woken up for a feed. Last night, or this morning should I say, he woke up at 3.30am. Whats doin??? Then about every 30mins from there till 7.30am. I took him in bed with me from 5am & just patted him every time he woke up. He slept really well during the day yesterday. He didn't have any long awake time like he usually does but he fed really well too. 6 feeds in 24 hours. I hope it's just a phase. I know SAMI & AMANDA have just gone through it. Fingers crossed he'll be back to sleeping through in a couple of days.

I'm still resting up my leg so doing nothing today. Not even cleaning! DH has gone back to work today so i'm on my own again. He's been great, cooking & cleaning, looking after Byron while I rest this leg. But the problem was he always rocked Byron to sleep, no matter what I said. So today it's lots of crying to get him back into his routine, while DH isn't here cause always tells me to pick him up

he will sleep through again. Mia goes through fases... the longest one lasted a week where she was sleeping for a max of 2 hours o/n. not fun. But it does get better... we had a late night last night so she slept in the car and we got home about 12:30am and she was asleep by 1am and is still asleep now.. thought she would have been starving by now.. oh well, she will let me know.

teruteru - what do his "episodes" involve? yelling...screaming..punching walls...or like sitting by himself?

2 more sleeps till Mia's appointment!! yay!
