Hi girls!!

Schonell: how is bubs now? Was she having a growth spurt? She is around 6-7 weeks yeah? I think that's a wonder week isnt it (i really should just buy the darn book hahaha...i am ALWAYS guessing when the wonder weeks are on!).

HPL: That is so awesome that your DD has coped so well with baby bax! i found that my girls loved the baby but were a bit iffy about me and DH lol. they became a bit anxious about getting things done on time (ie: asking for a snack and instead of waiting patiently for me to get it, going bat poo crazy if it wasnt in their hand the moment they finished asking haha).
go the homebirth next time so lovely...and you dont need to go anywhere hahaha.

so jealous of your son's sleep! Your DD was the same wasnt she? It's only in the last couple of days that DD3 has been having a few stretches of naps on her own that last longer than an hour lol.

Audax: so weird! i remember replying to your post...it musta been chewed in the BB garbage disposal haha. What are the signs of reflux? DD3 is mega chucky...sometimes i swear it's like a scene from the exorcist lol. so yeah, have been wondering what reflux is for babies (i have not had reflux myself...or is it like heartburn? kinda had a small bit of that when pregnant).

where is your DH? Or is it that he has already gone back to work? I found that if i took the pressure off to 'go somewhere' all the time it really helped with the stress of the day. i also decided when DD2 came along to only do short, easy trips (mostly cafes and toy stores lol). are there any cafes near you that you can walk to? i cant really remember any in walking distance from our old place in e. brissy...but times have changed...surely lol!
i'm in a similar boat in that i would love to see my IM more often, but dont *really* have any need. just like the maternal love that they can offer. unfortunately my own mum is visiting but is so not in the category of maternal. just another messy houseguest to cook and clean for (and hear criticism from).
