thanks to everyone re my avatar. i love it too. it's really me actually, my fringe is always over my eye like that.
fianne- lewis wakes up and cries a lot. if i wake up before him i quickly run to the toilet so i can make it back before he starts crying.
katie- i bought my membership upgrade for myself for my birthday as dp forgot to get me anything. you should get one for xmas. it's a great present idea i reckon as bb has become such a good 'friend' to me and helped me with lewis more than anyone else in my life.
md- forgot to tell you, i bought a pinky mackey book off ebay '100 ways to calm the crying' and it is absolutely fantastic. i read it while i'm breastfeeding and i just really agree with her whole philosophy. i love it.
sherie- i love the trees in my background, as we live in the middle of a national park and all you can see from our back deck is trees and mountains all the way to the skyline- hence the very annoying ciccada noise constantly!sorry to hear about af!
noni- you send an email with a little description about yourself to get your avatar made up. they do a fantastic job don't they? i can never do enough in the shower before lewis starts crying. that's one of the reasons i bought the fisher price swing so that i can put him in it while i have a shower and actually wash myself lol! but the bloody thing is faulty. i'm so upset!

i've been trying to express milk all day today in between feeds but it's so hard when you're feeding constantly. so far i've managed to get about 110mls. i need to leave lewis for about 5 hours tomorrow night to go to a seminar on share trading (my new career as a sahm). how much milk do you guys reckon i'll need to leave dp? i plan to keep expressing tomight and tomorrow as well.
