Belle - please come back to our thread! We won't say anything!

cmarfol - yep, DH took his laptop home while on paternity leave last week and actually had to go back into work on the Monday (the day after we got home!) I was livid... but wow, calling him the day after you gave birth is not on!

Dansta - so sorry to hear about Vic, but you are the best mummy to look after him and I'm sure he'll be home in next to no time!

Rumpledelf - Congrats on having your baby - 4th July bubba! Not sure if you'll join us on this thread now??

Hello to everyone else

How is everyone going with night time feeds? I'm finding that Lachlan is up at around midnight, 3am and then 6am.. or there abouts. I spend around an hour feeding him and settling him so I get around 2 hours sleep inbetween. I've also taken quite fondly to afternoon naps, so most of the house stuff (laundry, tidying etc) gets done in the morning.

DH went back to work today so Lachlan and I went for our first shopping trip. He's still sleeping peacefully in his stroller so I'm not going to move him. The trip went off without a hitch, but I felt bad cos it was quite chilly outside and I was sure his little face was getting cold.

I'm EBF and things are going pretty well. Lachlan gets the hiccups basically after each feed. Its the most cutest thing ever.. but you can tell that he gets jack of it after a while and there is nothing I can do other than pat him and cuddle him. He also spits up a little after each feed. But he is SUCH a gutzy boy... I have to try and yank him off mid-feed for a burp cos if I don't then he overeats and spits up everywhere. Boobies are still majorly sore and huge, I'm managing to express 50-80mL and am freezing it so that DH can feed him if I go out.

I really want to go and see the new Twighlight movie - New Moon.. so I'm going to venture out next week with my sister to see it and DH will look after Lachlan. I'm a bit nervous about it... but I'm sure it will all be fine!

OK, I'm going to get some cleaning up done and make some chicken patties for dinner before my little boobie monster wants his next feed.
