we're up to thread #5 omg we talk too much lol

Jacinta I ws thinking the same thing!!

We are well here, had a day at MOPS(mothers of preschoolers) today which was nice, older ladies take care of bubs, and you get to share time with other ladies. Today they had a panel of women who answered questions mum's had about parenting and it was interesting listening to their experiences

Jemima and I went to BAC (birth after cesaer) group last night. My sister runs it and it is a debrief group for women who have had a c/section. I find it really good and it helps me off load how I feel about having had a c/s. Last night I was asked to bring along a vid of me and Jemima having our first breast feed in recovery because we used a technique called baby led attatchment, where you let the baby find the nipple and attatch themselves. I highly recommend it cos it help baby to figure out how to open their mouth before they have a nipple shoved in, and they attatch better because of it. So anyway that was nice.

So that's me... can't believe that it is only this weekend and then next we are all meeting!!!!!

[briggsy's girl]

yay for only 9 days to go! am really looking forward to getting out of here for the day!

E seems to be doing ok - she is sleeping on me (again) - started to get upset like her ears were hurting again, so i gave her a cuddle and she went to sleep so i'll see how she goes when she wakes up

DH has gone for an aptitude and probably driving test (cos 20+ years driving and good references don't convince them!) - hopefully this pans out or i'll have to go back to work. need to notify by the end of next week if i want to go back in december - otherwise i can't go back til jan 4...

[wysiwyg]

I posted the other night but looking back it obviously never made it as has vanished. All good here have had some jet lag meaning that in the evenings after CJ is in bed (normal posting time) I am shattered. Very happy to be back in Melbourne, weather a tad warm but loving it. Will post tonight as I have to tidy up before DH comes home as been playing making towers with Cerys and there are blocks all over the floor - a definite trip hazard!
