Mo- You confused me a little back there in the last thread.....I bath with Caitlyn - I dont have anything that I bath her in/on. MIght try the small amount of water in the tub tonight and see if she likes it...mind you lately she HATES being on her back when its not bed time.
We had a bit of a yukky night but nothing too bad - sorry Trish. Bit out of routine...when i went to pick her up from daycare they were trying to get her to nap - at 445!!! She is supposed to be awake then. Then I play and talk to her when I get her home, then into the bath, then a feed, then bed!! But nooooooo She got sleepy and so put herself to sleep in the car seat on the way home. Then I thought I would just lay her on the couch when we got home - that normally wakes her up....but nooooooooo slept until time for bath - pushed that off for a bit but she wouldnt go to sleep until after 8 last night! And then she only slept until 1230. Then up at 430 - back to bed with mum and dad. Wasnt too bad a night I guess....sometimes I feel that I am very lucky when it comes to her sleeping.
Has anyone else noticed their (bottle fed) babies not eating/drinking as often. Caitlyn only has maybe 4 bottles a day - most of them are around 200 ml. But I used to be constantly sterilising and washing and etc etc etc. Its good now......can do some dishes instead!!
Anyway - am at work and trying to pass the last half an hour before I go home. I am dying to buy an activity centre for little miss C cause she LOVES standing up and having a sticky beak. But I just looked on a website and its going to cost me $50 in freight to get it out here!!! Am going to look at this junky type store we have locally and see what they have. Oh....and we finally got a bookstore out here!! YAY - NOt that I have that much time to read but the thought is there! Oh and a friend tells me that I can buy pumpkin patch clothes online - and they are having a huge sale at the moment. Have a look - cute little dresses etc for $10!!!! But...maxed out the credit card so I can't buy anything!
Oh....needles next Friday!!!

Hi all

Just checking in. Not much happening at the moment. Just the usual.

Trish/Alz - sorry to hear that you all had a bad night. Hopefully you have a chance today to get a nap or 2 in.
Rebecca - I get the pumpkin patch on-line catalogue emailed to me. I love their clothes. L has pretty much grown out of all his PP 0000 jumpsuits now. Probably should go in and buy some things in larger sizes while on sale.
Kellie - carp that you can't get in for another month! Hopefully they will have some cancellations to move you up the list.
Willow - L sleeps between 90 mins to 2 hours at a time during the day.

At my clinic mothers group yesterday some of the bubs were on a mat on the floor. I put L down there and he rolled over onto his tummy in front of everyone. I was so proud. He was perched up on his elbows and was looking around interested in everything. I reckon he's going to be crawling in no time.

Going to get a sleep bag this weekend. Have just put L down for a nap not wrapped or covered and he went to sleep ok.

Feeling sad because I have put away all L's 0000 jumpsuits I am giving a friend who is having a boy in April/May all his wondersuits and long sleeved jumpsuits. Some he has only worn once or not at all. Seems a shame to waste them. Not sure if/when #2 will be coming along so someone should use them. My baby is growing up
