Jo: Hi and welcome to our thread. It seems like you've have a pretty busy couple of months. Moving from the UK to Aus is one big move especially so far advanced in your pregnancy. I moved house whilst i was preg and i found that difficult but it was only a few suburbs away, not a few countries
Gee your labour sounded pretty intense, isn't it thought that when a birth happens so quickly that it can stress the body out? I would have liked a labour like yours, but i am just so happy that Maddy is safe and well.
I don't live near Brisbane so i can't help you out on the weather situation but because xavier was born in Aus he wouldn't know how cold it is in the UK so you would suspect that he would feel it to be colder here than what you do. Gee does that make sense?
Thankyou for your advice on the Christmas presents i will look into a few of those ideas. Can you tell me what a gloworm is. I'm guessing its a worm that glows in the dark, like a comfort toy, so that bubs doesn't get scared in the night?????

Curl: Great to hear from you again. We need more people in this thread. Wow to Loralei sleeping through the night. I am also very lucky as Maddy generally sleeps 7-8hrs sometimes 9 and has been since she was around 4wks. I still have to get up once in the night and express though (due to all my feeding probs and low milk supply, plus my boobs get too sore). Maddy has recovered well from her injections. I haven't taken the bandaids off yet as i know that will incur pain too. Sometimes i wish that the nurses wouldn't put them on and just apply pressure for a bit instead. I had my hep B and Cervical Cancer vacc a few weeks ago and left the bandaids on for days. Especially hard to take them off when the area is still tender from the injections.

Everybody else: We need more posts, hope to hear from a few of you soon

Cheers
Angie
