Hi All
Sorry have been mia - seem to say that a lot lately. sorry if i miss anything!
Sherie - yay on the hamper, what a thoughtful mum you have. enjoy the choccies too! LOL at alister making eyes at the other kids, i reckon thats the way it is being the youngest in a big family - yu get everything early! i grew up with a family of 8 kids (my FDC 'mum' who i am still in touch with, she looked after me since i was 9 months and these kids are like my brosthers and sisters) - and you should have heard the language the youngest used from a v young age!!!! i also remember finding him looking at a pack of 'porno' playing cards (his older brothers, who were about 16 had them) and saying 'yummmmm, breastfeeds' - hilarious! glad the meds are going ok and no side effects, i hope they sort things out for you.
MD what a blissful day!!! wow 5 girls for a sleep over - did you make a midnight feast? soundslike things must be going better for H at school now. how are u feeling?
Cally - N still needs 2 sleeps a day, and i cant see him dropping 1 for a while - he is ready for his mroniong sleep by 9am! each of them are about 1.5 hrs (differs a lot this is averages). i am happy with that. he gets up at about 6 and goes t bed at 7.30 (bath etc before that). i hope you are getting yourself some rest and relaxation too, i know how tough it is to juggle everything with full time work and baby etc etc esp with no family around.
Noni - yay for some more time out for yourself. i hope they do order fromthe catalogues. did the company give you any idea what penetration rate to expect (ie how many ppl usually buy something per 100 catalogues or something like that). i agree with Sherie, it is prob a good time of yr. what type of stuff do they sell?
Clare - LOL at L's antics!!! gorgeous! N also kisses and cuddles everything - especially upsy daisy from in the night garden as he watched an ep when she kissed everything!!! the other day i was watching him playing with his thomas the tank engine truck thinking 'he has tuend into such a boy' - then he picked it up and started kissing thomas!! LOL!!
Ange - hmm hope it isnt an allergy. i know that yoghurt and cheese are less of an impact on lactose intolerance etc due to the processing...
Kate - glad it is clearning up..poor little thing!

afm - all is well here... N is totally delicious as always - has had some teething pain (getting 2 molars plus another bottom tooth which is nearly thru). i got the brauers teething stuff yest and it seems great - highly recommend. he slept through last night without 1 settle!!! loved it!! he is crawling around a lot now and standing up heaps - all the time. starting to 'cruise' a bit but no signs of walking - think that will be a while! he is a real chatterbox though, which is soooo cute!
did a bit of cookingon the weekend for him, his current fave is pasta with cheese sauce and vegies and tuna... and also these chicken patties i made (recipe in the feeding section) went down so well with him and his friend... they are delciious!!
Sherie - you made me CRAVE hot chicken rolls - YUMMO!!!!
i am feeling good - quite tired (dont remember being this tired last time ) and nauseous but nothing too bad. had a couple of naps yest which were wonderful! it still doesnt feel that real!!!
