Hey SupaB - good to see you, I was just chatting about you this morning! Do you know what number episode you're in?

Far out about the bumbo. I hope your friends little one is ok in the end (my dh fractured his skull when he was about two and I could say something nasty about it explaining a lot of things

but really he's ok). I know they were recalled in Aust a while back because there was no warning on the packaging about keeping them at ground height...I know lots of mums have them on the kitchen bench while they are doing dinner but that's too scary if you ask me! I'm shopping for a 2nd highchair for kitchen use instead.

SupaB, good to see you. I haven't seen any sign of AF yet. I am still BF though, so not sure when she will be coming back.

Sherie, yes he gets into the wipes all the time (they are yummy!), but usually he is happy to flap around and eat the first one so I can save the others.

MD, forgot to say from ages ago that the buzzy bee is a brand name thing, NZer think it is a pure NZ icon but it turns out it was sold in Australia too lol. Like weet-bix, we have the song 'kiwi kids, are weet-bix kids', but then I realised that Aus has the exact ad but with Kiwi changed to Aussie lol

Agnes, have you started solids with W yet? Could it be a new food that is causing him to throw up?

Hayley, congrats on dodging the bullet!

Will had his first fall from standing, he was holding on to my knee and then let go to pick up something and I wasn't quick enough to catch him. Poor baby, his little head landed on toys. He can stand unassisted for a few seconds sometimes now.

Afternoon Girls,

Hayley- Not really shocked as we ended up having to do IVF and I had 2 Frozen Embyros put in.
Supa- Hey its great to hear from you... Glad T is good.
Art- Poor little W. I hope he's OK.
Noni- Sorry I have never used cloth nappies.Only use them as spew rags.

Supa - great to hear from you and it sounds like T is doing well!!! N is also sitting, he rolls one way (back to front) but not the other. makes for a lot of yelling for mum to turn him back around LOL!!!
Woo hoo on tafe hols - how is that going?
Hayley - glad the test turned out how you wanted... I wonder who will be the first of us to get preg again....
All good here - dropped off a massive load of clothes to the women's shelter this morning, they were really grateful. I think I will do it 2 times per year, and N can get involved as part of his clean up of the room when he is older to give away toys and clothes to kids who need them. I think it is nice way to instil the value of charity in him. I then went shopping (!!!) and got him afew new things as the big wardrobe clear out yest showed me what he needs now - plus i wanted a couple of cute mew outfits for the trip to melb!!! Oh I can be shallow!! we are so busy this weekend with fam stuff but i have arranged a drop in session at our place on sun morning to see friends, so that will be nice. it means N can sleep if he needs to as well whcih is great as usually we run around like mad in melb and it isnt good for the little man.
Noni - dont know much a bout cloth nappies - but sounds like a good plan. let me know if they work better at night. N is weeing thru every night and it is driving me BONKERS. reminds me of when he was a newborn!
MD - i think dial an angel provides mothers helpers. they do basic household duties.. sounds like a plan to me!
ok better go, i think N needs anappy change and then a sleep.
ETA - meant to say I thinkN is teething again on the top - i can see the little splits in his gums and his cheeks are rosy. explains a bit of the clingyness too - i was putting it all down to the needles. poor little things if it isnt one thing it is the other! hope they pop through soon, thought i think we could see splits in bottom gums for a while before the gorgeous teeth appeared!

Pregpan - For a minute there I was going to be the first pregnant one!!! Thank god its not me. I dont mean to sound ungrateful and if I did end up pregnant it wouldnt be the end of the world. However I'm just not ready yet, I dont think it'd be fair on Maddie, I want to enjoy her as a baby before having another iykwim. Sounds like his teeth for Noah doesnt it, poor little man hope they come through quickly for him.

Supa - OMG That is terrifying!! The poor boy, I bet that incident gave his mum a terrible fright. Maddie is also sitting but still no rolling. Looks like a lot of the bubs are at this stage atm.

Leanne - Oh ok so you knew what to expect. I'm hoping for twins one day, they are on both sides of the family so we're in with a chance.

Arte - First of many falls hey!? Cant believe he is standing unaided!

Noni - Never used cloth nappies but they look so darn cute. Give it a go what have you got to lose?

Marydean - Lol dont at all feel sheepish about your bun in the oven joke. Thanks for the recommendation of Elizabeth Berk...always looking for new books to read. I've just bought a book on ebay called damaged by Cathy Glass, after a friend highly recommended it. Yes I had seen somewhere that Jodi Picoult was coming to Perth Dymocks so I googled it for more info, but its on a Monday when I'm at work. I would be there otherwise, I LOVE her books and she must be such an amazing person, would love to chat with her.

Also is anyone still having problems trying to get their bub to take their normal feeds? Maddie has dropped right down from 4 x 240ml bottles a day to 2/3 120ml bottles. Its 5.15pm, she's only had 2 bottles today and I just tried to give her more but she will not have a bar of it. She wont eat any solids either. Do you think this is a sign of teeth on their way? I'm worried that she isnt getting enough and its been like this for about a week now. Still sleeping through despite only having 3 bottles max per day....? Its strange.
