hi all,

Have been reading but haven't gotten around to posting for a while. You all sound like you are doing so well and your bubs experiences are already bringing back memories of DD at that stage... even though it wasn't all that long ago! In some ways I feel like she is going through some of them again and is behaving some days like a baby of her corrected age. The ECHN said that some of it may be true and that I need to take each day as it comes - well der!

Bit of an update on DD... she was just over 5kg at her last weigh in (22nd Oct) and she is over three different sized clothes... some 00000 still fit (pants and tops etc), mostly in 0000 but some of her onesies suits are now 000. She had some gunk in her eye the other day - I did think it was conjunctivitis but now I don't think it was... think it was just some spring pollen or something. I have been squirting BM into the eye to flush it out and it is working wonders. Um can't think of much else... other than DP and I have been very naughty and been DTD with no protection whatsoever... I really have my fingers crossed that breastfeeding is holding back any cycles... and double fingers crossed that my PCOS is still wreaking havoc on any cycle I 'may' have... AF is still at bay but I am wondering if I should get a pg test just to make sure... argh! We now have condoms! We were hoping to have the next one in around 2011 but any earlier will be fine as well... though I would like to wait until DD turns 1 at least.

We are in Cowra at the moment - my sister found out last Monday that her baby grew wings and became an angel so we are up here to help her whilst she recovers from the D&C.

I can't believe my DD will be 3months old in 4 days - my oh my time has flown! DD is still in newborn sposies but we tried her in the infant size today - they do fit but they are so huge on her! The newborn sizes fit much better but I know it won't be long until she fits the infants size! I don't know many 3month olds that still fit into newborn nappies LOL

We are heading back to Sydney tomorrow after spending time with my sister and looking after my niece. I got a glimpse into life with two and it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. I took my niece and my DD down to the shops by myself - I was surprised at how easy it was. I got DD out first and put her into the sling and then got niece out and she walked until we got to the trolleys and then she hoped in there... I am sure it wouldn't always be easy but I was imaging all sorts of horrible moments but none eventuated!

Take care all - big hugs to mums & bubs
