Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and i'm glad i'm not alone with the formula feeding. I went to a meet up organised by the hospital last week and I was the only one FF, felt very out of place especially when one of the midwives asked me my reasons for FF.

Fianne - We are using S-26 gold. Only reason we chose this one is because we went down to chemmart (after a horrible night of me trying to breastfeed with my toes clenched up in pain) and there was a child health nurse there and she recommended this particular brand. I assume they are all pretty much the same?? We've also been getting lots of smiles out of Maddie, just makes me melt!

Renee - Rory is a little cutie. Just had a look at your baby shower pics, we also played the 'guess the size of my belly' game hehe fun times. And wow you got lots of handy pressies.

Gracie - Isnt it funny how we have no time these days for a bit of makeup and perfume!! I feel like a real feral at the moment. My mum has offered to take Maddie off my hands so I can go get my hair done. Might have to take her up on that offer this w/e, my hair is in bad shape.

Has anyone bought the hug a bub carrier? I'm on the hunt for a baby sling/carrier and most of the reviews I've read are saying the HAB is excellent. I think its either that or the Baby Bjorn, i'm just worried about how hot they get in summer.

Taking Maddie for our first walk now. Trying to get back into exercise, need to tone up this stomach! I really want to get back into body combat...but maybe its a bit too soon? I did the jump test, kinda felt like my insides were going to come out! Gosh they are so right when they say your body is never the same after having a baby.

To everyone that i've missed a personal reply to, sorry, hope you are all well and enjoying motherhood!
