Vic, you may or may not need to express when you're working - given CJ is only feeding once during the day, it may not be a problem. E still feeds frequently through the day - i expressed at work the first few days, then just decided to take the pump and ONLY express if i felt uncomfy - no need - it is all good. E has a decent feed from one side when i get home, and i express from the other so that there is milk there if she needs it while i'm at work. this week she hasn't wanted any. she is happy with just water and snuggles with daddy. has milk at granmas though - go figure??

Nicky - hope Allira is feeling better soon, and that the rest of you don't cop that nasty bug

AFU - E has decided to refuse to sleep. she isn't unhappy, she just won't close her eyes! she will lay awake just watching us for hours. doesn't need to drink, doesn't need to be cuddled... it's rather odd. i would say it's possibly a wonder week thing... she is in love with being outside - will go and sit at the door and yell at us and show us her gumboots, then hit the door to go outside. i told her a few minutes ago we would go to the park but ONLY if she was a good girl and had a sleep first - she walked over to DH to be wrapped (won't sleep unwrapped still!), then had a quick drink and crashed out straight away. so we're going to the park after lunch!
