Marydean - What does your husband do? Military? Sorry to hear that he is going for 3 months, but i'm sure 3 months will go so fast!

Gracie - Far out sounds like it was a really windy day! Thats good that the tree didnt land on your home, that would have been disasterous.

Sherie - Lmao @ the sniper boys and their commando rolling!!

Cally - I've been doing the same with leaving Maddie in her pj's in the mornings, and then having to soak them all in napisan.

Tamara - You will be fine with managing your studies and looking after a baby (or two). You just take your time with uni, just do a one or two units at a time rather than four. Its alot easier to manage. Good luck with the flight to Perth, I wonder if they will give you a seat with a bassinet?

Q re formula feeding: Maddie has been on 180 bottles but I've tried to put them up to the next level, being 240, as she whinges for more lately after each feed. However she cant stomach the 240 yet, she takes it all in but vomits 5 minutes later. So can I put her bottles up to say 210 and do three and a half scoops of formula? I tried to call the wyeth help line today but forgot that they are 3 hrs in front of us now, so were all at home!

Hayley - 'speaking' as someone who has no idea about formula, wouldn't it be hard to get 1/2 a scoop exactly? Would you be better off making up 240 and then tipping some out - or taking it away from her when she has had 210.

MD - oh, you poor thing with DH going away. Yes, he definitely needs a new job!

Gracie - yay for trees falling on the street, not on houses!! Lucky you left for the day, I can't imagine being home all day without power.

More success with apple puree this morning - she was leaning forward trying to grab the spoon when I gave her a new one, much better than yesterday when she was arching her back.

Morning Girls,

Hayley- I would just make up the 240mls.
MD- Sorry about your DH going away. Dont blam you for being mad.
Sherie- Love the sniper story I could just see my boys doing that.
Cally- Glad the Apple puree is working.
Gracie- Glad the tree hit the road and not your house
Well I am at work and would rather be at home today. Boys are at DayCare so I just have Livi today.

Have a great day Girls.

Leanne, you take Olivia to work with you?

Hayley, I would make up the 240, then just take it off her when she has had more than the 180 she normally has. I say to make the full amount because she will slowly increase the amount she has kwim? You could only do half a scoop too, but it would be a hassle for you. Alister has been having heaps more too now since he started crawling, it makes him hungrier than he normally was. he isn't gaining more weight to what he was, just eating more and burning it off.

Cally, that's great she is getting used to it now.

Gracie, good thing you did leave, would have been very freaky to have been there during it. Luckily we don't have big trees that close to our house. Today the wind is coming straight up from the south and it is so icy cold.

Marydean, hun, I would be FUMING if I were you!!!!! if he's not careful he wont need his op - you'll do it for him

*hugs* for you, I imagine its very stressful for you ATM. I hope Miss E's teeth hurry up and come through, but I'm glad she is sleeping better for you and having less wake ups.

Hello everyone,

Today is William's first day in childcare. I dont know, I feel like a big part of me is missing at the moment.
I never leave him with anyone else except his grandma when he was still little.
Just gave them a quick call and I could hear him crying in the background.
It's hard to be at home without him when I can see his toys and his pictures everywhere. Everything reminds me of him.
Sorry for rambling!

Will try to read the previous posts now and get some personals.

Trillian, welcome

Sherie- Yep But only on Thursdays and Fridays and Mum comes to work on those days too. I work for Family Business and we are running 2 companies from the one premises and I do the books for both. I have Olivias name down to start DayCare in August on Thursdays and Fridays. For now Olivia is great cause she is not crawling yet and sleeps mostly and we put her in her portacot to play and she is happy.
