lol Mel!! We just dont use contraception cause we dont DTD often enough either...

We have bought pressies for Ruby for Christmas. We got her a portacot, dolly, a couple of rattles, a fisher price mail box toy thingy and a clothing parcel. Santa is getting her an activity tray centre. We figured her birthday is so far away that she will need toys for during the year so we may as well use Christmas as the time to get them. Plus our other 2 kids will wonder why she didnt get anything.

Mon- You changed your name again!! I am loving the photos you are posting on FB, they look awesome! Is Mally at primary school next year?

Snowy- lol about the listeria. I ate heaps of brie cheese today and finally had a choccy sundae from maccas the other night. The cheese was yummy but the sundae actually wasnt that great... Glad to hear the family is doing well.

madame- Glad you could find the time and energy to get online to the most important people!! Sounds like you are doing well, Tullys behaviour is completely normal so dont worry too much about it xx

billy- I am jelous of your sleeping baby! That is so great for you though, makes life much easier.

Alison- Ruby has been coming into bed with us nightly the last week or so cause it is the only way I can get some sleep overnight. You will always get advice from different professionals but ultimately it is up to you what you do and ho you parent your child. If it works for you to have her in bed with you then do it (but of course I reccommend taking on board what Snowey said re- drugs, alcohol etc). You sound like you are doing a fantastic job xxx

Natty- Ruby isnt too thrilled on the dummy but once she starts sucking she keeps it in for a while. I just hold it in her mouth until she starts sucking on it. She sometimes cracks it and pushes it out with her tongue, then I know she really doesnt want it but mostly she is happy to have it. I cant have her sucking on my boob all day just for the sake of it. Sounds like you are adapting to motherhood really well too xx

Hi to everyone I may have missed

AFM- We've had a busy few days with 3 Christmas parties this weekend. Ruby is over it and just wants to be at home. We need to go to the shops and Dr's tomorrow but otherwise will be home. Poor little thing has conjunctivitis, well I think it is. Her eyes are always gunky with yellow and she gets stringy bits on her eyelids. I bought some saline solution from the chemist and have been cleaning her eyes every couple of hours. Im hoping it clears up cause she is too little to have antibiotics yet....

I tried to upload some photos on FB, hope it worked.... Im a bit challenged in that area lol!
