    Leah- Great job to Z. She is growing wonderfully!

    Teagz- I tried little A in a Bonds wondersuit 00 yesterday and it fit albeit a bit baggy. Bonds brand tends to be a size smaller than other brands. I love the easy suit (when they grow a little bigger) and was sad being a smaller fit that size 2 didnt last too long.
    Oh and I am getting a healthy appreciation for Bonds clothing.

    Any ladies who have had C/S, still not had the feeling return to your tummy. I still have quite a dead patch.

    Illey- Maybe Caroline is just slowing down on the dirty nappies. Or it could be a growth spurt. Sometimes they say when the nappies stop being constantly dirty but still plenty wet (and also increased feeding) that a growth spurt is happening.
    Is anyone on facebook? Please feel free to add me. I am Jenny Metcalf. Pic is of me and my 2 girls while in hospital still.

    Teagz - awesome on Jacks rolling over! What a clever little munchkin! Amelia is just going onto her side atm.

    Zarava - that's fabulous weight gains! I had problems with DS so I totally understand where you're coming from. It's such a relief to have the feeding going much more smoothly this time 'round!

    illeyena - it's pretty normal for breastfed bubs to go a day or two (sometimes even more when they are a bit older) without pooping. DD usually goes every second day now and it's a HUGE poop! Have had a few poosplosions lol...Sometimes she does get a bit cranky before she does one and as soon as she does she is sooo happy again.

    jenjams - after my C/S with DS, my scar area was quite numb for a few months, had a few numb patches for quite a while but now all is good. Have added you to FB

    Gotta run, Amelia is awake now. She's been snoozing in her swing!

    Hi Everyone

    Sorry I've been MIA...Not much to report on really.

    YAY for all the healthy growing, looks like we've all got big ones! I haven't had Henry weighed for a couple of weeks but he's over 5kg now, he was about 5kg last week n my home scales (I weighed myself and them him and worked out the diff).

    He's not rolling yet, but loves the tummy time so don't think it will be long as it looks like he's trying.

    Sleeping wise he's a little star. For the last few weeks he's been in a good pattern. He'll have his last feed around 6-7 and sleep for between 7 and 9 hours, so I only have to get up around 2-4 or so and again around 6.30 - 8.00....so and very pleased with that! My BBs have gotten used to it and though they are very full when he wakes in the night, they aren't too sore. Because he's in such a pattern now I'm a little cheeky and have a glass of wine in front of the telly...not been caught out yet

    I've been expressing and went out shopping with my sister to get some clothes (I have lots of work clothes but not many 'play' clothes) and DH looked after him and did a feed with the expressed milk (I did a test at home a few days prior to make sure he'd take it!) BUT it did put my BBs out of wack a bit.

    Has anyone's work asked about coming back? I originally said 6 months and then part time..they have asked is this is still the case just for planning purposes...I have no idea! I miss the head part of working but couldn't bear to leave him....plus throw in the breast feeding and having to express into the mix and it's all too hard...What's everyone doing work wise?

    Jen Jams - I'm a bit numb around the scar but it's been coming back gradually (I did have pins and needles between my belly button and scar when I rubbed it in the first few weeks but that's gone now), I think it takes a while for all the nerve endings to find one another and work again.

    I'll try to be in here more ofen and keep better track so can do pers.
