    Katones~~ Sorry you got no joy from the dr's today but good on you for keeping on fighting!! I am a big fan of the second third and even fourth opinion, You know when something is wrong with you or with your baby. I still haven't seen In the Night Garden, it seems to be a big deal...Must get round that that!! Even evil MIL is talking about it!!!

    *Tanya*~~ I have been following the wedding saga, I think Maya would be a lovely wedding guest and she brings her own meal, and won't run up the bar tab!!

    Well tomorrow is the start of must drink lots of water or else....what can I do to make sure I do this!! Any ideas or suggestions?? I am really good at starting out on these things but tend to let slide, I can't this time though.

    Hot???
    It is something like living in a oven with water dripping constantly. The heat is only marginally less worse than the darn awlful humidity. You think I would drink alot anyway with the heat and humidity but nope. Also I tend to drink the wrong things....like Coke Zero.....Shhh don't tell on me. We have a soda stream, so maybe if I make the water a bit fizzy and add half the amount of syrup that will be a bit better but I still need just plain water too.

    I giggle cause I have been in the same spot...and Bethany has a new game now that she has found her hands she likes to "help" with nappy changes...little hands and big smelly messes do not go together.

    katones - yep catholic, we had Riley baptised in Ballarat and did course work here in Canberra, but have chatted with the ppl in Ballarat and cos Paul's family part of that parish we don't have to do course thing, just letter from our parish here.

    I think I am lucky in that Zander has never gone more than a day without a big poo, haven't even had one up the back yet - those Aldi nappies are good too ....

    Amy - maybe try putting some water bottles around the house - like one in the bathroom so when you have a shower/wash hands/do hair - that stuff - you will see it - another one near the kitchen sink so if you put dishes near the sink you will see it - maybe one near Bethany's cot or whereever she sleeps so when you put her down a few times a day you will see it - worth a try??

    Tanya - Zander has been waking too the last few days - and tonight he actually went to bed at 7pm like normal but was wide awake again at 8 - so I got him up though to feed cos it is so stinky hot here I figure another drink would be good for him.

    PP - yep our baptism will be family only - DH has 4 brothers/sisters, so by the time you get their partners/kids and my sister and her family, and my dad and his wife - there is 30 right there. But at least I won't have to cater for afters hehehe, we are just going out for lunch later - easy way out sounds great!

    Spooked me on the tv the reporter saying cos of the heat (with no relief overnight at the moment which is unusual) for b/f babies to have extra feeds - I mean, I knew that - but it reminded me to keep offering to him during the day - tomorrow is supposed to be 36 and it is still 24 at the moment and house is 26ish so it won't get much cooler inside the house either.

    im still here.. but by the time i read all your posts Mia usually calls so i dont get a chance to reply.

    btw - wheres belfie?

    Everything is good here.. Mia's bottom teeth are sitting just below the gum and she has taken to not just chewing on her fist but her arms... yep both of them... at the same time. It does look very interesting! lol

    she still not feeding great. She went 9 hours without a feed overnight and woke up and only had 60mls! oh man.. shes such a worry. Tho im not too fussed on her having low amounts but its the fact she spews most of it up before the next feed. so im in abit of a pickle of what to do......... hrmmmm
