    Gosh, so many posts last night!

    Pregpan hun, try not to feel bad about yesterday, you gave it a try and you don't really like it, so now you just look at other avenues. Think of it this way though, it's a good thing you trialled it now instead of when you were back at work and had no choice kwim? If you can afford a nanny, then get one - I think you will be much happier with that situation. With the solids, just stick to farex and mix it to a somewhat sloppy consistency with EBM or use a fruit puree as they will be less likely to give him bowel troubles than going straight for the veges. So happy that N didn't have another bad reaction.

    Hayley, Don't feel silly - some pumps are really hard to use. With our car we have fuel cards from caltex and BP and I only use the BP one locally as the pumps at the caltex are really hard to use - once I even stopped using it and went in and complained about it because it kept clicking off and they did it for me and said that it happens often. So I had to pay for 90cents of fuel and then the rest of it LOL. Maddys cheeks could either be a bit windburnt/chaffed or it could be from teething - my older three all got real rosy red cheeks with teething. I used to put a bit of sudocreme on them to help keep it moist and not dry out so much that it stung.

    SupaB, Hi!! how is T? It could be that you might be getting AF back again soon or it could just be one of those things. If you are worried about it or it gets worse, then go and see your GP or ask your MCHN.

    Fianne, how is the lump today?

    Marydean, I'm not surprised E is that long - she looked really long the other day. I think she will be a gorgeous tall girl like H.

    Katie, it still blows my mind to think that they will all be 6mths next month.

    jaz, how is everyone settling back into the school routine? Did Z start kinder this year?

    Bilby, I don't know what to suggest hun. Is it your work keeping you awake at night? Can you try to delegate time to it in the morning so you can use the rest of the day to wind down from work and not think about it? I hope you can get some decent sleep soon.

    Noni, I haven't played netball since I was pg with Paige (stopped at 13wks) I would love to get back to it, but with DH's shiftwork, I wont always be able to get there.

    Alister is another one who likes to have the blanket up near his face to sleep, and Paige was exactly the same and still does it with her blankie. I even took photos of him doing it the other day as all you could see was the top of his head and a little bit of arm LOL. Its waffle weave blanket, so its pretty breathable, but I pull it back off his face once he is asleep

    I have no excuse not to exercise now - I have the treadmill all set up in our room rearing to go. I'm really excited about getting into it though.

    With me having to give Alister the infants friend and then having the RV vacc, he is so not ready for solids - he has a bit of trouble swallowing it, so even if I wanted to, he's just not ready for them yet. And his skin is shocking ATM too. His dermatologist appt is on Wed so I haven't used anything on his skin for nearly 2wks so the Dr could see it in its full glory. He has really red sore looking patches over his knuckles, which is made worse by him having his fingers in his mouth all the time too. His bum is fine now though. I had been giving him a few extra doses of infants friend as it apparently keeps the regular and its really softened his poos up.

    Hi to everyone else!

    Sherie - This excema is a real pain for bubs isnt it. I have been doing alot of reading about it and I was suprised to find out that its actually really common. I'm sure the dermatologist can find something to help Alisters skin. Meanwhile Maddie's little patch on her face has really cleared up, I stopped using Johnsons products and switched to cetaphil and also just used paw paw ointment.

    Arte - How do you look at reputation points? Dont think I'd have any, lol my advice always seems to come out all over the place. Cant get my words together!! How has DH pulled up this morning after his night on the booze? Oh my gosh I wonder why you feel sick while feeding? Is it like morning sickness all over again? Yuck.

    Katie - 6 months is fast approaching thats for sure. Before we know it they will be toddling around and then we will know all about it! I dont want my baby to grow up too quickly

    Pregpan - How are you going with sorting out Noah's care?

    Fianne - How is the lump going? Have you sorted it out? Is it painful still? Sorry I cant be of much help but we arent BFing.

    Maddie's cheeks are still red today, but I'm still confused whether its wind burn or teething. All morning she has been grabbing at my hands and pulling them to her mouth. Also last night we discovered a massive lump on her gum. I'm hoping its teeth. Anyway I have learnt my lesson big time, slip slop slap silly silly me. And considering I spent time on the phone to my sister a few days ago lecturing her about being out in the sun at the beach for too long haha.

    Also just wondering, who here has a dog at home and how does it react around baby? DP wants to get a dog but I keep saying no, only because I am scared. Especially seeing as yesterday in the park, there were a couple of dogs wondering around and they kept coming over to us, where we had the babies on the picnic rugs. Everytime they came close I picked Maddie up and stood up, as did some of the other ladies. Its just scary because animals can be so unpredictable, whereas on the other hand we grew up with a rodhesian ridgeback (spelling?) and he was a very gentle dog, who would actually growl if strangers approached us kids.
