hmm...i thought having my mother here would give me MORE time for faffing around on here. seems not.

petachristy - just got to read your PM now. am still doing my research on pumps and what-not so understand if you need to ebay. if you are allowed to post the link, i'll keep an eye on it. i'm still not sure exactly which one i need if i'm not going to be 'seriously' expressing.

catherine - great to see you the other day, you fab little mommy. you're doing amazingly well for having the 5-day away house-man. isn't it a pain you had to ditch the BF again? man! lucky Ro is already good with bottles and such.

now, whoever asked about brizzy/gc clothes... jj has only worn long suits twice, and that was when the weather suddenly went yuck a few weeks back. right now, he wears his nappy and singlet during the day, and i put him in a shortie suit to go out. he usually wees, poos or voms on anything within minutes of putting it on so query why i even bother.

at night he is in a singlet and muslin wrap. if the temp in his room is below 24 then i put a bunny rug over the bassinet to keep a bit of warmth in. if it's 21-22 then i'll put the bunny rug tucked around him. i use the IR thermometer in his room all the time to see what the room temp is. his fan goes all night most nights too... his room gets quite warm in the afternoon. if it's really hot we put our AC on and let it snake into his.

i'm ott about temperature since DH has so many measuring devices. i've noticed JJ sleeps better and is happier if it's really quite toasty.

i had so many posts to read that my brain is swimming and i can't remember who else i wanted to say stuff to...

may not get back on much while maman is here - but i'll be at the hyperdome on tuesday... weeeee!
