KURAIZA - You can come & join our mothers group. We're currently at Palm beach on Tuesday's at 2pm but will be soon changing to someones house each week. There's currently around 20 of us. No doubt that'll drop off. Yeah, Byron is doing very well for a premmie. The nurse at the clinic couldn't believe her eyes when she saw him roll. He can roll on both sides now. It's hard to keep him on his belly for tummy time, he wants to roll all the time. The other mothers were also very shocked. Alot of the bubs in our group are 3 months or older & their bubs aren't doing that yet. I feel a little bad though, like I am one of those pushy mothers who pushes their kids too hard. I don't think I do though. How did Jude cope with that horrific heat yesterday? Byron also slept through the night but I woke up to the thunder at 4.20am, did you? Byron does those short whimpers your talking about. All the time.

BELFIE - Thank you for making the pics easy for me to look at. Very helpful indeed. I think you're doing a great job expressing. 230mls, wow, hungry boy

Just on the santa photos.. I was gonna get Byron to see santa then DH said "Did you get a pic with santa when you were that young" I said "No" he said "Do you care that you didn't" I said "no". So that was that. Yesterday I put him in his santa outfit, but he was so tired he screamed the whole time. I got a couple of pics of him screaming. I couldn't try again later cause it was way too hot.

HOLLYE - I'm looking forward to seeing Mia's santa pics. I bet they'll be gorgeous

AMY - I know exactly what you mean, there's always so much you could be doing. I have learnt to let it go. Everything can wait

Byron wouldn't take his bottle last night. Grrr. I thought he would take a full feed as he took 100mls the day before with ease. So I expressed 180mls then he only took 60. I ended up putting him on my other boob to finish him off. I'll try again tonight, but might try with a new teat. He was happy on the first teat last night, but it took him 15mins to take 20mls. So I swapped teats & he wouldn't have a barr of the other one. So back to the slow teat then he didn't want that one either. How annoying. I'm glad i'm getting ontop of it now, before I need to go somewhere.

He had such a grizzly day yesterday. Lucky DH was here to share the burden with me. I guess it was the heat. Though last night he went to sleep around 9pm & woke at 6am for a feed. He didn't have much before he fell asleep again, then woke at 7am for another little feed, then fell asleep again, then we slept till 9.15am. He had a good feed after that & straight to sleep again. So tired. I'm hoping I can get my floors cleaned today so praying he'll stay asleep.

CSAB - I can just imagine what it's like when your out with Olivia. I had the same issue when I took Byron out. They would ask how old & when I said 8 weeks they would look at me strange, thinking he was only a few days old. Now I go by his corrected age, it's just easier that way. I guess I'm lucky with the expressing thing. It only takes me 15mins to get 180mls. I get 100mls in about 5 mins. I'm not so lucky with him not taking the bottle though. He use to take it while he was in the scn & when he got home from hospital, but I stopped giving it to him. I'll get there

TANYA - That's great that you got so much done yesterday. Hopefully Maya will continue to be co operative whilst your out. Byron use to be hard when we went out, but he's so much better now. I just have a dummy on hand in case he loses it. I don't normally use one, mainly when i'm out.

SAMI - Your santa pic is lovely

I'm off to try & clean my floors... Have a great day!
