Annat,sorry about the negative.Lets hope it will change very soon.
Maz,sorry didnt know you had an u/s.Im so self absorbed at the mo.My apologies.Hope it went well.
Me,updated ticker and homepage of my war wounds and how terrible i look.(LOL) Im serios too!!
Belle- What dates you gonna be down here? Just wondering trying to work when we can all meet up cause Nelle said she is busyish the last weekend of April so just trying to see what will work for everyone.
kell- Shes not overly big on solids but she did enjoy the pear more without it being mixed with rice cereal but I want her to start eating the rice cereal cause i don't know how else to get iron into her. I'm trying pumpkin tomor. I hate it myself so felt ill at the smell of it when I was cooking it!
Maz- Waiting to hear your u/s results! Vy sounds like she could be teething poor little thing! We didn't have a sleep school as such moer of an appt with the sleep clinic Dr who helped us work a plan, she is settling so much better these days just now she is waking frequently at night!
Jodi- Lol! That always happens to me, whenever i complain bout Ashleigh not sleeping they'll come over and she'll sleep really well. I end up looking like liar!
AnnaT- Sorry to hear its a negative result, being the horn bag you are I'm sure you and Ryan will be doing alot more practising.
Nelle- No date in mind yet just seeing what will suit everyone, I don't want anyone to miss out.
Rikki- These colds must be going around cause mum is sick and I've been feeling bit sniffly. Hope you and Ainsleigh both recover quickly.
Anna- hugs to you, hopefully this gastro will pass quickly, you're prolly quite run down too. could your hubby help at night? I find if i don't go in to Ash she will settle without booby but as soon as she sees me she has to have it. She still waking 2-2.5 hourly but my new rule is if its less than 3 hours she doesn't get booby and hopefully she will learn to sleep longer. I know she can go 4-5 hours without a feed cause we have settled her without it but still she will wake and call out.
caddie- how are you and the pain? You're sounding alot better.
I been feeling quite yuk all day, I think its just run down from regular wakings thru the night. Just feel bit vomity. i think a good holiday would fix it all!

Yeah way to go Maz, congrats again!!! We would be honoured if you made a cover for us! We are both in love with our cloth now Actually will go and take piccy of our entire stash instead of whats just on his butt right now. We know what we'll be asking for, for christmas
Great pics Sydney girls! Hopefully next time there can be more of us (I'll be in Sydney soon!)
BBL. Dont forget to check out our webpage for cloth-style (complimented by Jetts red cheeks, his face not his butt hehe)
Love the sydney meet up pics.
Kell how tall are you? You look so tall in the pics.
Congrats Maz, woohoo!
Well I'm excited because now that Ashleigh doesn't need the breast to settle anymore I can actually go out (for a few hours anyway). So got a thing on with all work buddies next fri (23rd) cause someone is leaving and I can go baby free! yay. Only be going couple hours anyway, I'll feed her at 7 and get back by 10:30 in case she wakes early for her next feed.
shell, that's great that you can finally have baby-free time!! Has she started dropping feeds, or is she taking EBM?
You girls look great! Except Caitlyn never looked up at the camera!! And you can't miss her, with those chubby cheeks! Julia looked so different to the pics I've seen of her, so much bigger now. And Jesse is just gorgeous! I've finally worked out why his name is familiar, is the same as Jesse Spencer from House!
And Jett looks huge! How big is he now anna?
maz - congrats on being officially up the duff!! Woohoo!!!!!
I am so sorry i have been missing in action for so long. I have missed you all very much. We have been so busy with the packing and stuff. We are finally moving on Friday to our new house. I am sooooo excited.
Maz congratualtions hunny what wonderful news to read as soon as i long on!!!! Im very happy for you. wont be long before we are trying again so yayyy!!
Hello to everyone I hope you are all well and your little bubbies are growing up beautifully.
Savanna is such a big girl now!!! She can sit up on her her own from crawl position to sitting position. She mastered this today and was damn proud of herself. She has been sitting upright for a little while now but this was the first time she actually put herself up. I am sooo proud of her. She crawls backwards all the time so we are yet to master the forwards motion hehehe i dont think it will be much longer though. She is also teething and i think she has two that will come through soon on the top and bottom.
There is so much more to say but i just cant think of it all right now.
She had her 6 month pixi photos taken last Friday so i cant wait to get them back!!!
Well i will once again be MIA for a little while whilst we settle into the new place.
A big kiss to you all MMMMWWWWWHHHAAAAAAAAZZZZ!!!!
