Arte, so pleased to hear Wiwl slept really well ! Hopefully he wiwl turn that corner soon.

Cally - yuck on your pantry find ! I won't tell you about the house I lived in in Darwin where the roof leaked every year during the monsoon and I kid you not the WHOLE house would get furry. I'm still tossing up whether we'll go to QE2 or not. Just not sure the sleeping is the problem...will see what happens after she sees the osteo again tomorrow. Although it might be worth it if I can hang out doing nothing, reading trashy magazines and waiting for my massage LOL!!

Noni, yay for your friend's bubba. Glad to hear all is well there. I KWYM about feeling broke. Do you get any family allowance fortnightly?? You can tell Centrelink which day in the fortnight you want it so you get your family tax benefit on the off-pay week. Helps with stretching the money, I find.

Pregpan how are you getting on with DH away? All well I hope.

Sherie, I was thinking that about the pill as well. That would be a major bummer! Hopefully it won't come to that. Do you have any Chinese medecine ppl up in your neck of the woods, they can do wonders with hormonal regulation, might be worth a try?? The theory is, balance the whole system.

Hayley, try some morning sickness ginger to help with your queasy tummy. Hopefully it will settle down in a few weeks. I always used to take mine at bedtime so the main queasiness would be while I was asleep IYKWIM...plus you usually remember in the am if you've forgotten it the night before.

Hi Jordie, I saw you'd been posting in another thread and wondered if you would pop in to say hello. How exciting about Mackenzie's talking . We haven't done bottles at all, we went straight onto the Avent Magic cups with the soft white spouts. You can swap the spouts for harder ones later on or otherwise you can put bottle teats in (completely interchangeable). The long flat shape is easier for b/fed bubs to suck - start off without the valve in and then put it back in once bubs gets the idea to suck. HTH

Re the poos, our lovely vanilla- yoghurt scented poo days are well and truly over, now they're ssssschmmellllleeeeeeeeeeeeee! Peyooweeee! DD1 is in shock LOL.
