Leanne, I think buying yourself a pressie is a great idea, we should all do it more often, whether it's our birthday or not LOL. Have a great day!

11, WOW, my hat goes off to you hun. You have done amazingly well to conquer your demons and get past the darkest days. I am glad then that this time round things are going really well for you - you deserve to have a great experience this time round.

Marydean, he's not really that heavy LOL - I weighed the clothes he had on when I bathed him and they weigh 270grams, so he's only put on 325grams. Glad to hear that the wound is closed over now - are you feeling like it is healing well or do you still have concerns about it? What's this 'going out alone' caper? I don't think DH and I will be going out alone until we're middle aged LOL.

Cally, how did you go last night? I hope Katie was a good girl for you. The lunch today sounds lovely. I'm sure she will be fine in the car trip too - how far away is it.

Pregpan, I am so not a handbag girl. I have had the same one for nearly 9 years - I brought it before we were married LOL. I just can't see the need to have a heap of different ones. I still take my handbag with me when I go out as I don't always take the nappy bag with me if I'm in the supermarket etc.

Alister was so worked up last night. It was quite warm here and poor little guy was just really out of sorts. We went to town yesterday and he was fine, but it was once we came home. He felt really hot and when he was having his last feed for the night he brought up the entire feed and then just went to sleep. He slept for hours too, I thought he'd wake earlier because his tummy was empty but he still went until 4am. He is fine this morning though.

DH showed me this cute little trick he does with Alister. He tickles him just above his hips bones and he just shoots his little legs straight up in the air, stiff as boards LOL - it is hilarious to watch. I can't get him to do it, so it's just a special "daddy and Alister' thing.
