    Haha CK, my Aunty just told me a funny story about my cousin peeing out a window becuase of that hose

    My afternoon has been ok, she has been very unsettled due to wind but wasn't too bad, perhaps I am just better at coping now? Also noticed a big difference with not pumping. Far less tired and stressed out = win.

    That website is great btw Mollie, helped my husband a bit who feels very out of touch with bubs when she wants something and has a hard time figuring it out. I'm like use your instincts.. hes like what are those? haha

    We are getting lots of smiles and giggles now and baby noises (oohs and ahs and things) as well as the odd tounge poke thanks to dad haha.

    Yeah I found it helpful for hubby.. I think its different when you are with them all the time.. You get use to their little cries and what they want...

    Aw thanks Danni, yeah did work things out with DH I guess but I'm going to monitor things and see how we go... I think maybe we need a bit of "us" time which we havent managed in a while, even if it's just hiring a DVD or something, cos we haven't really made time for each other since violet was born, maybe that's part of the strain... Not that there is any excuse for that behaviour! Ouch @ the blocked milk duct- does massaging it help? How frustrating!!

    So DH told the MIL she couldn't stay with us this weekend- but he said its cos "Amanda isn't feeling very well still and wants some space etc" - gee thanks, you couldn't just say "we" want some space?!

    Mollie, I'm so going to get DH onto that website! Awesome!! Sounds like a good group, very helpful having people you can relate to, all going through the same stuff!

    Lolpigs & AM, awwww @ getting smiles!!!! I so look forward to that

    CK - awwwwwwwww that sounds like quite the mess you had there!!! Eww but yay for hair getting done!!

    Jan- thinking of you and hope your all okay!

    Phew, seat cleaned and all put back together so it can go back into the car tomorrow. Much easier than I thought it'd be too, yay for the Meridian

    Alex was quite unsettled and didn't want to sleep this afternoon, till I figured out that he was itchy! After my haircut I'd picked him up and cuddled him and he got all those irritating little off-cut bits of hair on him and they were annoying him...so off to the bathtub with him He settled right down after and went to sleep. Have to admit I was stumped for a while there

    Levi put on 140g in 6 days lol. Midwife said I must have super milk, I think he's just a piggy lol.

    He's had a growth spurt and nearly into the next size, some of his outfits are a bit short. His socks are already to small, he's gone up to the next size.
