    Nickers your photos are fantastic, good luck trying to narrow it down to the ones you want I love the one with ryker on his tummy looking up, he's so strong! You have three spunky boys there.

    Donna Jayne good luck with your move, must be tough trying to organise it all with three kids including a newborn! Hope everything is ok with Pippa when you see the paed its always worth getting things checekd out and if everythings fine you can put your mind to rest

    Better night for us lasst night so I had the energy to go to bunnings with the girls, mum came and gave me a hand. They got to paint a flower pot and decorate it then plant a pansy or lavender in it, they also got a play on the indoor playground and had a sausage for lunch. The big girls were in exhausted/meltdown mode when we got home (they had gotten up at 5 am according to DH!) so I made them sit on their beds and have a rest, both fell asleep within 2 minutes and Helena was asleep so I made my first ever loaf of bread, Helena fed while it was rising then I woke the big girls up and they helped make the dough for cream buns. DH got home earlier than expected from rugby so we had leftover pumpkin soup and fresh bread slathered with butter for dinner and a cream bun after. All very tasty but we are well and truly in carb overload

    Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!

    Big Peanutter, you poor thing! Fingers crossed it's not Glandular Fever and a little rest over the weekend has you feeling a whole lot better before the test results even come back.

    Wow Donna, you really do have your hands full with a newborn and an interstate move coming up. Fingers crossed it all goes really smoothly for you. By the way, I love the name Pippa, so cute! Hope your appt with the doc goes well. I can understand your concern with the green poo. My DS1 had dark green poos all the time from when he was about two or three weeks until well after he started solids. In his case, everything else was normal so the MCHN and GP told me there was nothing to worry about. I have heard that it can be related to them not getting enough hind milk, but then I tend to think all milk is good milk and the breast adjusts to meet supply and demand, so the theory of only getting foremilk doesn't quite make sense if you know what I mean

    Sara, I so understand your frustrations! It's so nice to stay up and watch a few shows, have a little time for yourself, but then you pay for not going to bed early and miss the longest stretch of the night. Your dinner sounds super yum! Making me drool just reading about it. I've been thinking that it's time to make my first soup of the season, now I'm feeling all inspired to do a batch of pumpkin.

    Nickers, I'm another one who'd love to see your pics.

    Well, I had my first full day flying solo with both the boys on Friday and I have to say it went pretty well. There were only a couple of moments when I got flustered, and really they were pretty short lived. All in all I feel really good about it, mind you DS1 did have about twice as much screen time as I like, but hey you gotta do what you gotta do. I also think it was really good for him to have a day at home with just me, like he used to before Coop's arrived. He seemed so much happier than he has been the last couple of weeks, both yesterday and today. So fingers crossed we're finding our groove and settling into normality.

    Coop's on the other hand has been a little more unsettled than usual the last week. I'm a little worried that he might be developing reflux. He's always been a bit spewy but it wasn't really bothering him (DS1 was also a big happy chucker), but over the last few days he showed some of the signs of reflux, but only at one or two feeds. Is that normal? Do they normally develop it at this stage? I am also wondering if it might be related to the Osteo's adjustments. She sent me an email on Tuesday saying that he would be feeling the effects of his treatment and might be a bit irritable, and that's around about when it started. We see her again next week, so I will be sure to ask.

    Anyway, that's about it for me. Hope everyone is well and enjoying the weekend with their families.
