MD - No, the kitchen has an angled walkway that would be difficult to put a gate up between it and the family room. Unfortunately don't really have the space to set up portacot / playpen.

Hayley - she is generally fine going to sleep in the evenings, even if she is a bit overtired. Which is good. And I wouldn't have minded yesterday if I'd known she was going to pull a 12 hour stretch last night so I could catch up on some sleep!

Sherie - hope you feel better.

Arte - fingers crossed you don't get mastitis.

Better go and do some cooking while she is still down - found out last night that cous cous is most definitely not a finger food, what a mess!

[*noni*e*]

Noni, next time you post it will be your happy 2000th! W is all over the place now too, no bit of floor crud is too small!

MD, W had a vaccination today so I asked about the sore boob. She called a LC who said just to apply heat, massage and make sure it is emptied and it should come right. She also said that Vitamin C helps to protect against problems like that.

Sherie, hope you are feeling better

Haley, I think I have missed some thread on privacy too

Cally, we have an angled doorway to the kitchen here too, it is a pain

Well, I am having a minor pregnancy scare. The past couple of days I have had mid-afternoon nausea so I took a test yesterday afternoon thinking it had been about 3 weeks since we had DTD. It was negative but today as I was having another bout of afternoon queasy-ness today I realised it was only about two weeks ago. Now my mind is trying to link the mild cramping, headaches and nausea. I think I will test with FMU tomorrow to stop all the what-ifs.

As much as AF is a pain, it would be reassuring to have her back so I wasn't always in limbo wondering if every little cramp and twinge is a pregnancy sign.

arte- have you had af at all yet? the lead up to my first one was hectic and i actually thought i was pg cos of all the side effects. i did a hpt and it was a bfn of course, but i felt really really sick. once i got af it was fine.

noni- hope everything's going ok?

renee- how was satc??? i'm dying to know if you enjoyed it. i'm going on tuesday.

cally- lmao at cous cous. i can just imagine it. i just found half a mouldy bananna under the table eeeww

well thanks for all your advice re: lewis' snot ladies. i bought a fess and have been using it, it's great but lewis reminds me of a walrus when he has 2 thick lines of snot running down his face.

[AnyDream]

Arte - OMG I'm waiting with bated breath! RU ok with the prospect of maybe being PG or just scared silly? (I'm looking at your Mt Doom location wondering which it is...)

Well it's been quiet in here today ladies. Thinking of Leanne and little Jordie, wondering how they're getting along!

Sherie - OH no I hope you're feeling better soon and Paige too. xxx

Cally, I was LMAO at the thought of cous cous everywhere! Great idea though, just gotta have time to clean the mess afterwards!

Is anyone starting to think about their bub's 1st birthday? I'm not sure what to do, DH will be away and it just won't be fun without him. I need a rent-a-family.

Well all's not quiet on the western front. Nipple pain is going away but the full-blown boob pain has started. Feeling blah too from getting the flu vax yesterday - thanking my lucky stars the Dr gave me ABs when she did, hoping that's enough to get it sorted in the next 24 hrs. I don't know why that boob is so much trouble...it's always the same spot where it gets blocked. Must have a d!cky duct.

ETA Noni I had a little giggle when I read about how A stops and reaches, E did that for the first few weeks of crawling too. It'll be funny when she realises she can stay in the position or even sit and still get the thing she wants.

Gracie & Renee I thought of you last night when Margaret and David were talking about SATC (she gave it 4 stars he gave it 1 PMSL). We're hanging out to see Prince Caspian and Kung Fu Panda with DD1.

First birthday - it's on a Saturday so I am thinking about a family bbq. Nothing too big, am hoping that we will have turfed the lawn by then so the place looks nice. And lolly bags for everyone (except DD!)

Joined the toy library this afternoon. Great value - and because we live so far from town (took me almost 20 minutes to get there lol) we get to keep the toys for a month instead of a fortnight! She's got some activity centre thing with heaps of buttons that makes all sorts of noise. Will probably drive me crazy by the end of the weekend.

Arte - fingers crossed you get the result you want in the morning - let us know. Try and get W's chin towards the lump too when you feed.

MD - hope your boobies get better soon!

AF started for me this week. Disappointed I didn't get a couple of extra months out of bfeeding.

Couscous, I actually wheeled her into the bathroom and did the clean up in there, easier than in the dining room!

My sister (the one without a baby) is coming down to visit this weekend. Will get to do some girly shopping while DD has 'daddy time'.

[Artechim]

Gracie, I thought it could be AF coming, I also thought I could be ovulating, really I have no idea lol

MD, I literally live in the shadow of Mt Doom LOL, Mt Ngauruhoe is about 20 minutes drive away and it was used as Mt Doom in Lord of the Rings. I would prefer to wait a few months before TTC but whatever happens...

Cally, I haven't been brave enough to try couscous, I can imagine the mess it would make though. I tried peas and corn tonight and he made enough of a mess with that. Thanks for the chin to the lump tip.

Bath time over, better go.

Does anyone else have a bathtime pooer? We have about a 70% poo rate at bathtime LOL
