LilsJula I have had a sick toddler for 10 weeks too, nasty cough mostly but she hasn't been sleeping well since Daniel was born. That wasn't part of the plan and is definitely forming the bulk of our sleep deprivation. Teh other night I only got 2 broken hours of sleep with a combination of feeds and burping and spewing (the little one) and cuddles and crying and settling (the big one). I had to work the next day and really don't know how I managed. So looking forward to only waking for a baby at night!

The BFRP's are shaping up nicely. I really need to stop eating chocolate. Breast feeding makes me ravenous and tiredness makes me crave chocolate big time. Bad combination. For me if I get the exercise sorted the food kind of follows.

The run was a bit of a disaster. I have a new cold (3rd round since Daniel was born) and had a bit of trouble breathing, My friend was up ahead so I told her to go. DH ran with me with the kids but we weren;t really talking. I cried a bit but had sunnies on so it just looked like sweat. My feet hurt, my lower tummy muscles caned but we made it. At the 5km mark Daniel decided he didn't like the stroller anymore so I carried him most of the rest of the way 2.2km and at over 6kg he's no light weight, But I was proud to carry my baby and hold my 2 year old hand across the finish. Looking forward to getting my fitness back though. My friend raised over $1100 for the breast cancer foundation and had something positive to think about on her first mothers day without her mum. SO I am really glad i did it. And it is a wonderful event. That and the Pink Tri I couldn't recommend more highly.

Re: sizes. DD was 4kg born but grew slowly and was in 0000's for 6 weeks I think. Daniel was 4.8kg and never fit into 0000's. He's really busting out of 000's now due to length, all the stitching on the feet of all in ones is coming apart. But we just haven't kept up.
DD was in 0's until about 12 months but I am imagining with Daniel it will be more like 6-8 months. maybe even earlier.

Its official that my little boy can't sleep on his back, he spews and is really uncomfortable. After 2 weeks of having him in our bed and matching his and hers cricked neck's I just ordered a co-sleeping basinette from the ABA, A ciot with 3 sides that attaches to the side of your bed. So looking forward to being able to sleep in more than one position but still have my boy close by.

Well the washing awaits.
Hope you're all well
And just in case you need to hear it. Being a mum is a tough gig, with the best rewards in the world, and you are all doing a wonderful job!
Happy Tuesday
