good afternoon ladies

jelly - i hear u on the snoring!! DH can snore quite loudly sometimes yet he denies that he even snores! lol. when i was pg he did end up going down to the spare room a few times coz my snoring kept him awake.

b - thanks for answering my question on solids! we use MCN's here full time and they are soooo easy! i love using them. i always have comments from people about them. i find that i really am not washing that much more then before. so easy not to worry bout having to run out and get disposable nappies all the time! saving money which is great too.

afm, we tried baby rice cereal last night. i mixed a bit of formula into it and gave it to Hamish. he had a few mouthfuls before he started to cry. i dont think he was too keen on the taste of it. going to put a tiny amount of apple puree into it tonight then see how he goes. hopefully that makes it taste much nicer. the dog really enjoyed the leftovers tho! lol.

we saw the paediatrician today. she was really happy with his progress. he now weighs 6.1kg the little porker! he still needs to have his pentavite and iron but she said that once he is fully established on solids then we can stop them. she is thinking around 6 months of age. she also wants to see him in 6 months time just to make sure he is fine but she thinks there will be no issues at all. he is doing so well tho. i am so happy! makes me feel good to hear things like that.

on another topic, DH left for darwin today. he is there for 2 weeks so its just me, hamish and the dog. going to take hamish for a walk in the pram later with the dog to see how i go. i tried it the other day and it wasnt too bad. just have to keep reminding honey not to pull on the lead otherwise its too hard to handle her and the pram! besides i really need to lose a few kilos. i am 2.5kg over my pre pregnancy weight now (was almost back to the pre pg weight but ate too much junk food) so i really want to lose that and a bit more. we have a treadmill so will also give that a go later on.

hope everyone is having a good day
