Noni - congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy 0th Birthday Asha

MD - yes, it's the nipple exposure I'm worried about and I can't even bfeed in front of my girlfriends, such a prude..hoping to get over it and become more of the National Geographic-mother-goddess or I'll have to live in confinment! Thanks for the tea tips, i'll find Madura and have a decent cuppa for a change

Jaz - a snot sucker? hilarious! sounds really handy though, how does it look like? Do I just go to the chemist and ask for a 'snot sucker' or does it have a different name? I'll try the muslin trick, maybe in a small coffee shop first, in the darkest corner.. Oh that is TORTURE about the chockie!! definitely not possible to stop at 1 square, thats crazy!!! Keep strong, dont let that block of fruit and nut stare you down.

Sherie - thats unfortunate about last night..it sucks not getting that quality sleep. Alex has a sore bum because Im on 3 different types of antybiotics (have a lot of fresh bleeding still 4 weeks after birth), so he cries and grunts a lot in his sleep - no shut eye for us either. Poor DH went to work unshaven with dark circles looking like the bog monster. Do you get a chance of getting some rest during the day at all?

Leemar - glad Olivia's all good

Cally - what a strange dream! I get the re-curring one where I dream that Alex is in bed with us getting smothered by the doonah, so I wake up, jump out of bed, sift though the sheets and rip the doonah off the bed to find him. DH finds it very annoying and I feel like an idiot every time can't help it though.. Isnt that strange how the dreams seem so real though?
