Thanks Dragonbub that is good to know. I love pastels too but the ordinary ones make a huge mess. I got a large pack of oil pastels though and people laughed at me as they are like the craypas kids use lol, well until I showed them the pictures I was doing with them lol. Best of luck with sorting things out with River.

GG that would create a lot of washing with vomiting :-(

Farmgirl I would love to get some portraits done, but we have been so busy, I must start getting any visitors to take a photo of bubs and me together, as otherwise I just have a very full memory card of a lone baby. I have been still mucking around with making footprints from his feet though.

Sadly when his father and grandfather came on "visitation" yesterday, we went for a first walk with the stroller, and then they harassed me while I was breastfeeding! Luckily we were at the local AFL club down my street, a small canteen and young families there, I felt very safe, I ended up quite exposed (with my feeding issues and trying to juggle bubs) but luckily the players were on the other side of the field lol.

I haven't been keeping a proper track of his feeds unfortunately but last night, even lying down my boob was squirting like a sprinkler LOL.

So to cut a long story short, I have everything in my unit nicely organised and I manage to keep up with things due to the confined space. I could improve what I'm eating for breastfeeding, protein wise. It's my birthday tomorrow and today we are going to get his injections, and then I'm going to my parents for dinner. I've got lovely clothes for him. We are going to see a Lactation Consultant. Everything is not too bad...

Apart from my ex is a right PIA, just prior to the above "incident" he was using the stroller with ONE hand walking down the middle of the road, and I said I don't think that's a good idea..well no he thinks it's all ok and I don't want to take up this thread with what a silly man, Jim's father is. I am just disappointed for Jim.

Jim makes life easy though, he is a smart baby, he does signal for breast or bottle, and now I know why he was coming off, that he was pausing not because he was tired but because of my let down. Yesterday he would come off, and I would express the let down or try a let down on the other side (that was awesome advice from someone on this thread) and he wouldn't cry he knew what was happening. They are smart cookies at this age even.
