Hi ladies

Miraculously feeling so much better since the useless inlaws left.

Georgi: I love lennox head. That's so cool you had a holiday with Byron. Out of interest, was he named after the Bay? He's gained so much weight! I wish Jude would gain some weight, although my arm muscles need time to adjust. I've been experiencing weird muscle twitches and aches in my arms from supporting him while breastfeeding.

SamiH: I have my sister coming in about a week. Fortunately the 1 good thing about living in a small apartment is that no one can actually stay here, but she's staying in the holiday apartments next door so we should see a lot of them. I can't wait to see my nephew and niece. My 3-year-old nephew told my sister "I love Jude so much, I'm going to gobble him up".

Tanstar: I followed your lead and I've been holding Jude upright after feeds and it's greatly improved his vomitting which is such a relief because I was sooooo worried he wasn't getting enough milk in his belly to grow up big and strong.

Well, Jude is just a sucker for his dummy (pun fully intended). He's an addict, I swear! Although, it's not too bad. When he's tired (which is rare) he spits it out and goes to sleep. He just loves sucking on anything he can fit in his mouth, and the dummy seems like the safest object for him to suck. I'm soooo glad we realised that was one of his primary desires or we'd be going mad trying to figure out how to soothe him. I suspect he'll be saying "dummy" long before he says "mummy". He already says "Burr" after he sneezes. What a clever boy!
