    DD1 got her first tooth at 5 months so I have early teethers I also do the shopping on days when DD1 is in CC as it's too hard with the two of them.

    Megie - only 5kg I have to shift 15 (well 13.6 now)!! I just got back from the gym too and have lost 1.4kg as I started weight watchers this week - thanks Kaz for answering all my questions too - and it seems to be working.

    I was thinking about weight watchers. But as I live in what is considered Rural Victoria, it is not really offered out here.

    Megie -you can do it online. I'm not actually going to meetings yet as I have done it before and seeing how I go by myself for a while.

    Hi girls,

    DD still isnt better. The poor thing is worse. SHe can hardly breathe. It turns out I can use dimetapp for her to help unblock her. There is an infant drops one specifically for under 2's and the dose is according to weight. Will give it a whirl tonight and underdose her and see how it goes.

    Oh and she hated the Fess little noses. Screamed at me Had to put her on the boob to stop her crying.

    Dont have a vaporsier but will invest in one next pay. Will do the shower thing tonight to steam up the bathroom a but and see if that helps.

    They are just so helpless.

    Ali - I hope the dimetapp works for her!

    Miss J just had her 4 month check up and vaccinations. I am pleased to say that she is still Little Miss Average and weighed in at 5.81 kg and is 61cm - so on the 50th percentile for both. I guessed that she would be 5.8kg in a previous post so I am feeling pretty chuffed She didn't even cry for her vaccinations (must be the chunky thighs)

    Nai- thats fantastic. I cant believe how big A is compared to little J. I think A was 6 point something 3 weeks ago! and she is younger than J! That is good the Vac went well. Dis the MCHN say anything about the tooth?

    ETA- after doing some reading on the net about dimetapp I am going to give it a miss. I dont think it will harm her but I dont think it will do any good either.

    Hi girls, don't have a lot of time but just wanted to post and tell you how awesome Alibaby is!!!

    THANKYOU SO MUCH Ali. The Mr. Men are awesome!! I picked them up today and my Mr. Men books that were on order also turned up at the same time. I was doing these ones around the kitchen LOL. We used them to amuse Mr. J while he had some tummy time earlier. They're so cool. He was laughing his head off. Thanks so much darl! You're so thoughtful

    I really hope Ash gets better soon. It must be doing your head in to watch her struggle so much. Have you called your MCHN?? Hopefully the steamy shower works.

    Oh - this weekend, we'll be around on Sat but we're going to a 4 year old's b'day party on Sunday. After that, as far as I know, other weekends in July are pretty free at this stage. Really looking forward to meeting you.

    Tarkine - I was going to suggest Jodi Picoult books as well! I'm currently reading Handle with Care. All her books that I have read have parenthood/children/family ethical issues as themes.
    Shell - Mr. J can sleep longer than 40mins but usually in the morning and middle of the day. 2hours is great and 3hrs is bl00dy fantastic!! I was getting him up too early I think and not trying to resettle because he was grumbly but then I was told that mild grumbling is ok and could be a signal they are trying to put themselves back to sleep. His feeds were getting closer and closer together so now I'm trying to stretch him to 3 hourly feeds so he feeds better and then sleeps longer. That's the theory anyway LOL - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. He was awake for 4 hours straight yesterday so we still have a way to go!
    Holly - How did the ENT appt go??? Thinking of you and L.

    Hello and to everyone else!!
