Now this feels more like home, hello girls... Tegam here are my details for frount page...

EDD 4 jan , born 18th dec,@ 6.30 am, Boy, Parker Robert, 3480gms 51 cm...

well I am busy tring to find a new and cheaper house to rent ATM God I am so over moving, but I guess now that I am on my own this should be it... scary having to everything on my own now but I will find some way to cope, I have been very blessed as Parker is a very well behaved baby, even if he does poop all the time lol never had such a poop machine before... but been breast its not so bad, I quite like the smell, weird I know, but it smells like new baby...

must go have 4 houses to fight though today will let you know how I go when I get back tonight....

OH YAY!! great to see u back hun!!!


well like Glenny and Jen im going to pretend Summah was born in Jan, the december chicks are lovely but my heart belongs with u lovelies lassies!!!!


im still stunned we all have nearly had our babies!!! i remember when we all first met.... back in the day!!

so i had a bit of a deliema this morning...
needed to do the groceries, yep thats the easy bit. i suddenly realised that A) i cant push a pram and a trolley at once and B) i havnt worked out the baby bjorn yet...
so how the hell was i going to do the shopping?!?!!?

quick phone call with mum and she came with me with my 2 brothers to help me out!
so i had mum carrying Summah, my brother pushing the trolley and my other brother wandering along, and then he took Summah so mum could grab the stuff she needed.

kinda felt like royalty with all hands on deck helping! my brother even unpacked the trolley into the car and then unpacked the car when we got home!! AWSOME!!!

we have moved Summah up from the newborn teats to the next one and she is tollerating it well, feeding a lot better, and getting her wind up a lot better as well, and her amounts have gone up, not sure if thats coz she is less tired from sucking less or if its just that growth time.

we see her paed for her review on saturday so that will be good!

crumpet - I've figured out all my shopping strategies - Coles online for a big fortnightly shop, the bottom of the pram is great for local fruit & veg shopping, and all the little running around jobs (e.g. curtain hooks, banking, etc etc) I'm just going to drop David off at mum's for a couple of hours this Wed so I don't have to keep getting him in and out of the car All sorted!

Curtain-making is going well - need some more hooks, but apart from that I only have one more set to go! Woohoo! (And then I need to hem them once we hang them up and see how long I want them, but that's a quick job and won't be until after we move in) We're getting blinds in all the kids bedrooms at our new house, but I still will make some curtains for David's room just for decoration - going to look for some animal fabric, hopefully a jungle-type theme.

David was so cranky all morning - only slept for 30mins max at a time and kept waking up with wind pain - I've started following the dose directions on the colic stuff more closely - after googling, apparently it has a cumulative effect so it might not work well if I just give it to him every now and then. Have also bought some Infant's Friend - will try that if I get no improvement in a few days. Mind you, since starting the doses again, he's slept for nearly 2 hours this afternoon - he hasn't fed for 3 hours now, but there is no way I'm waking him up yet after the morning we had!!

Hope everyone's doing well Thanks for all the updates!
