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.
