Sue, I've started putting Matthew into size 1s as well. Not sure how much he weighs right now, last weigh in was a couple of weeks ago and was when he was sick and he was 9.55kg dw. He's only just started to eat more rice cereal, etc, in the past few days. Poor little tike is probably very hungry because he can't really breathe and b/f at the same time.

Niamh, no chance of us being together while I'm at Lake Cargelligo. But I'm hoping to get a transfer closer to Canberra so that I can stay working in the NSW system and be closer to his dad.

Tenille, hope Ashlyn's tooth is through soon. With Matthew's, it was miserable for him for days after the top teeth cut through.

Kel, glad the mastitis is clearing up! And aren't you clever! The buddy tags and toy rescuers sound a great idea!

Lee, you must have been very proud of your DD going to the dawn service in Canberra. I took Matthew to the mid-morning service at the memorial park here. I missed the tv program but it sends shivers down my spine, especially as the MCHN here is only just getting over whooping cough that she picked up in Melbourne on holidays. She fractured ribs from the coughing. I can't imagine how horrible it must be for an infant to get it.

Matthew's turned into a Snot Monster. It's just bubbling out of his nose, clear and quite runny. That and the dribble from him teething again makes for a very wet face and noisy breastfeeding! I've got a heater going in the bedroom and a vapouriser (wish it could vapourise people, I'd start with my noisy neighbours who have been chopping wood at odd hours again. It's going to be a long winter!). Took him to the doctor's yesterday and his chest infection has cleared up and his ear is looking better. No more antibiotics, as the ten days is up, hurrah. And I had a flu shot. A little sore but not too bad.
