Hehe I find making the screen half sized and having a notepad doc open next to the browser page is the only way I can keep up with everyones posts and make sure I say hello to everyone! Hehe.. ok going back to read everything from my 2nd last posting lol..

Leah- how did Amara and Eliza sleep for you last night? Ryan had a 5 minute sleep in his rocker, went to put him to bed and boy did I get told off!! An hour later he was asleep woohoo!! Do you have anyone who could come and take your girls for a night just to give you a break? Do you have a little evaporative cooler or something you could put in their rooms to help cool it down a few degrees?

Becky- how did Southbank go? Did you all have a good time?

Julia- if Ryan has some rumble action but no poo we "go for a run" aka bicycle legs, and I try and get him to drink a bit of water, he doesn't like it but will usually drink some if he has the hiccups and we run his belly and usually within the hour he's filled himself up and smiling away going "guess what I made you mummy hehehe".

Trish- How was the kinder? Did you both like it? How is your back? Oh just read he loved it that's fantastic must be a big relief! There was a girl who started daycare yesterday and she screamed from the moment she got there till the moment her mum came and picked her up. Her mum didn't even stay around just handed them her and the bag then left, I thought she would've stayed to try and calm her a bit but I guess she figured nothing would? Poor thing she's booked in 5 days from Monday onwards I feel sorry for the girls at daycare they looked like they were about to join her for a cry!

Re: 000's, Ryans a stocky little man he's got his daddys baby bod I was a lanky thing lol. Also he's mostly in the suits that do up under their bum but have their legs free he's out of the baby suits now. I got some t-shirts and shorts for him to wear though he seems to be more comfy in them and if we have an opps I can just change his shorts or his t-shirt and if it gets cooler I can put a lil jacket on him, such a stylin' lil man LOL

Viv-yes Amelia came in made a statement and has left the thread re: cath. Ryan is in crawler nappies they put him in infant at daycare but I have the big ones, I got there as they changed him once and when I got home we both fell asleep, when I woke up he'd overflown the nappy (just wee) in only a few hours. Most of his daycare clothes I send him in get changed because of overflow, I keep telling them to use the bigger nappies but oh well hehe. I put a burping mat under ryan at night because he is a drooler he soaks the bed, maybe put one under his bum? They are very cheap a pack of 5 I think is $10 Big W or Target.

Peta- How has Kaylee been? Ryan had I think 3 (one was just a really big lump) in his gum and he screamed as well, but nothing can put my porker off food lol, but took him with me to the dr and they're gone now, the dr said they can come up and down a few times before breaking through so they will go through painful stages and good stages. My mum said nothing worked with me no matter what she gave me and the best thing was just to try and encourage me to sleep through the worst of it as the constant crying tires bubs out. Hope things are getting better and the neurofen works I didn't know you could get baby neurofen will have to go talk to the chemist if/when Ryan gets his 'cranky lumps' again!

Mo- lol re: tickle me elmo that's adorable you'll have to get some pics of it! Also love your ticker pic very cute!

Willow- yay congrats on hitting the 3 month mark! Doesn't time fly I can't believe it's February already!

Rebecca- Maybe they didn't burp her properly? I actually thought they would overfeed Ryan at daycare but they only did it yesterday and that was because the girl was new and didn't know when Ryan hadbeen fed last and he was whingey (wind) so she assumed because he gave her a hicky that he was hungry lol. Maybe she just missed her mum? Ryan sometimes does the leg thing when he's upset not just from wind or anything like that. How was your drinks with the ladies? Hope you had a good time!

Kim- how are you feeling you poor thing? Are you any better this morning?

Nickers- we have been getting nearly daily storms here, it's sunny in the morning then gets really humid, then pelts down, we need the rain out here though we watch the weather website at work and watch the storm move over us and then down to you guys hehe sorry! I went to a GP for a check up instead of the hospital as the hospital said they would forward all their notes to them but nope never happened and now they have misplaced my file! The dr was really peevy at them and said she expects all the notes on her desk Monday or she was going down there personally to complain (shes new there from Sydney and boy is she fiery shes not from Aust and hates our medical system and all the stuff ups *loves* lol). So she is sending me for more tests Mon and Tuesday and I've had blood work done. Everyone must be getting u/s at the moment because the hospital has a week long waiting list and I could only get appointments Mon and Tuesday with her writing "extremely urgent" on them otherwise it's a 2 week wait! I'm having another on my uterus just to make sure but I've stopped bleeding today (so far) and I have one on my gallbladder on Tuesday as I have a rock hard lump about the size of my fist in my chest at the moment if you feel just under my rib the waiting list to get it out is 13months long though. She said the only thing she could suggest is when I want it out (after work is over) to go eat heaps of fatty foods and set off a big attack and call an ambulance and they may get it organised to be removed earlier, sad how they won't help you until you are in pain!

Kellied- yep Ryan gets the cranks in his pram as soon as DP is holding him or he's in the Bjorn he's fine I think maybe it's wind because he sometimes has a little chuck or a few burps but if he's being carried upright he's fine.

Ok well I started this at 9 but then Ryan woke up for a feed, then started to cry for a snooze and then I got bitten by the housework bug so I'm going to post this thing now or I never will! lol
