Happy New Year I made it to 10:30pm...that's the latest for me in a while! Had a couple of glasses of a nice bubbly and let the boys stay up till 8:30pm so they could light some sparklers. Loved the free night show thanks to the weather!!

I love a good night routine! Have put Tess to bed her usual 6:30-7pm after bath and feed and she now just looks at me while I wrap her and put her into the bassinette, I stroke her head and she gives me a little smile and I walk out of the room and she is done She has been waking around 3:30am for a feed and then around 7ish, so we are in a good place and have been for a while. In the next week or two I will start putting her into her cot at night and use the monitor.

I too am about to start contraception. I am going to give the IUD Mirena a go. Will have the swab next week and then Mirena put in the following week. Did a bit of BB research and I am hoping I go ok with it as there is quite a bit of postive and negative on the BB forums for it. My SIL has it and another friend also and they both say it's great. I am giving it a try as it's a 5yr thing and then I might be able to convince Bernie to have the snip as we have now compeleted our family
I took the mini pill with Ben and it was good, although the first week I think it changed my milk as he got a bit funny about feeding and then after that he was fine...just in case Nae you have a little trouble thought it may help to know what may happen, I also think it may have started my periods again..can't remember???

Hey Nae, I love picking what Tess is going to wear! I started in hospital Think it's the excitement of been able to dress a girl for me although I did the same for the boys as well. I find getting her out of her PJ"s in the morning and into clothes and then back into PJ's at night helps with the night and day familiarisation. She loves getting nude for the bath. Wouldn't worry too much about warmer things..can always put a pair of leggings under a pretty dress and long sleeve top under the short sleeve dress to warm them up.
Tess's wardrobe is bigger than mine! Alot of things she will only wear once. She is now in 000 for most brands. Some 0000 is still just ok as they are on the big side such as the marquise things.

That's all for now...
