yupyup what r u buying?? i really need to stop shopping online for anything nappy-related...its both eating my money & time. Time isnt something which i have too much of at the moment seeing my 1st exam is just around the corner!!!

had power outage for a few hrs yesterday, thankfully during the evening when it was much cooler outside. Thank goodness for the cool change, after the scorchers cant really complain too much abt 30+ weather!! Dragon been grizzly lately, poor baby is starting to teeth & getting nappy rash

stroller ey? my nappy shopping is bad enough i dont need a new shopping excuse for awhile (at least til he TT anywyz)

need a lil help: wt do u put on the floor to let bub to play/sleep on? ive been looking to buy this floor mat (ard $60) which has a crinkly bit, squeaky bit & i think it can has little mirror thingy too...been hesitant/undecided abt getting it. wt to do?!

hmm good quesiton re floor mat. I have a fabric one, and I'm also using my Kidsline quilt - it makes a nice solid floor mat with interesting textures in the fabric. I guess I should look at getting a proper one oneday... but at the moment he gets his mirror/crinkly/rustly/interesting things from his toys rather than his mat.

luckily I'm safe from the nappy shopping... but I make up for it with overall shopping...

And yes... mmm decided he wanted food at 1am... crazy boy!!! But then he stared deeply into my soul & smiled. And it was all worthwhile!

Well the southern ladies are been melted and we have a cyclone!!!! TC Ellie is about 150km off the coast and the winds are incredible, due to hit tomorrow morning at the moment that could change I guess. We are out of the main circle of damage. We'll just get the wind and rain, bout 100KPH + they reckon. I am off the batten down the hatches!!

teru - I was given two play mats. One is washable and has stuff to play with on it plus came with a bonus plastic, overhanging toy bit. The other mat you connect two overhanging rods that toys come off. Not sure if you know what I'm talking about. Hard to describe. But I like the first one much better. I use it as a rug to put her on, instead of the floor, and sometimes put the toy bar thing over her to play with too. I also prefer it cos I can lie on the mat next to her. It's very colourful too which seems to attract her attention.

belfie - What stroller are you looking at getting? DH bought ours on ebay.

Got a great deal.

amy - I hope everything is ok.

Well.. I am really worried about my little girl (and I think she is the littlest here now). She would only eat small snacky amounts yesterday. Then at 9pm she ate a very small amount, was in bed at 9.30pm, slept till 7.30am, ate OK I guess, then went back to sleep till 10.30am, ate a very small amount, up till 12.30pm, then back down for a sleep and is still asleep. So she's barely eating at all and sleeping heaps! Other than that she seems fine. Lots of pale wet and pooey nappies. Lots of smiles (until she gets tired).

I just don't know why she won't eat more than she does! I keep trying to force her but she's just not interested. Also we don't have anywhere dark to feed her during the day, so I can't try feeding her in the dark to avoid distractions. I have tried to make feeding boring so she sticks with it. But she's just not interested in eating.

Tanya - How big is your little bubba girl, as V hasnt hit 4kgs just yet. She snacks most of the day and then sleeps all day. I wont know until another 4weeks and a bit how much she weighs but 3weeks ago she was only 3.39kg. She was 53cms long and her hc was 37cm. I know the heat has been affecting V, as she has been a bit more fussier with the amounts shes been having too. Hang in there hun.. If you are worried then maybe it is a good idea to talk to the DR again with your concerns. hugs

Hi everyone else. hugs

belfie- pity abt the stroller, maybe next time?! im thinking of gettin a bumbo seat off ebay now just figuring out whether its gonna b worth my money or not 1st

tanya- i think i know what mat u talking abt, how big is it roughly? i want one which is roughly the size of a mattress guess i jst need to keep looking! at the moment im jst using an old blanket but still seems a lil hard on tiles. dont worry too much abt her weight so long as she has enough wet nappies (i think they say 6-8). my friend's DD was only 6kg at 6mths or something like that

hi everyone else, i need to boot myself off the comp to study now haha. good luck to me LOL

Tanya - mummies are made to worry - which is good for the bubs. You say she is having wet nappies and is happy when she is up - she will take what she needs. It's hard to accept - it's prob the one time on their sweet lives that we just keep trying to shove more, more into them - she might just be getting over the heat, quenching the thirst and sleeping it off - I know I feel sleepy when it has been hot consistently.
