Meg - we dont use grobags in summer, Jett sleeps in a big boy bed so he has sheets and a quilt BUT he only ever sleeps wrapped up in his woollen blankie. Sooooo he sleeps in barely anything because of that (those old school Nanna-knitted blankets are mighty warm!) Come winter he'll have jammies AND the blanket (and the quilt if I can sneak it on him). He covers himself up anyway if he gets cold. Rips will be in grobags until he gets a big boy bed next summer when he's 1.

Jodi - ugh dont you hate people like that? I reckon they are in serious denial about their kids doing the same way back when. Jett isnt allowed out of the pram but he does throw tantrums that the whole shopping centre can hear. I just ignore him until he stops. If people give me dirties I say "Would you like to take him home with you?"

Nelle - is that bag packed yet? I cant believe you only have 5ish weeks to go. Feels like yesterday that I was pregnant and counting down. I cant wait to know what your having!!!

Ness - how are you feeling sweetie??????

Hi to everyone else!

Soooo things are going ok. Ripley is mostly formula fed now, and he is much more content but I keep having attacks of guilt He has boobie about 3 times a day still but my milk is dwindling so I'll let him feed until it disappears and then its formula full time. I decided I had to cut my losses and do what keeps me sane. Im still super proud I made it to 8 weeks! Maybe next time I'll make it to 12wks. The 4hr blocks of sleep have made a huge difference though (so has the endless crying stopping!). Bad news - the dreaded AF turned up on Monday She's isnt as nasty as she usually is though which is a good thing. So its on the pill for me if Rips stops BF completely before it finishes, if not the mini pill will have to do until he does.
As for Jett he is great. We've cut our last teeth (before 2yo molars) so he's been really cranky, those canine's are awful trouble arent they! He also had his first haircut while we were in Sydney, just a teensy trim of his curls. Not that it made a difference, he still wakes up with birds nesting in his hair He's got a few more new words too. I really need to sit and make a list of them all. I cant believe he'll be TWO in 7mths. He's such a little boy now, makes me sad to think that this time next year Rips will be the same!

BUT hopefully by then #3 will be on the way. Yep thats right Im officially certifiable DH keeps insisting that 2 is it but then he mentions how he wants a similar age gap between them all so we'll have to make a decision soon. He also refuses to get a vasectomy so I told him that we're having another one then. I just dont want to regret not having #3, you never regret children but you can regret not having them. I always planned on 3. Plus I want to have it while we are in Sydney incase we have another horror pregnancy, that way my sister and numerous friends are right there to help. Ry will be insisting we're done right up until the kid is born hehehehe So in another 6mths we'll give it another whirl and see what happens.

Anywho we have Coffee club today which we are running late for and then its Rips 8wk MCHN appointment. OMG he's 8 weeks old TODAY

Have a great day girls!
