Hey, I have been following everybodies stories, just seem to get half way through a post and end up having to break up a fight or play body guard to Sam!

Bec- your little guy is so cute. So much dark hair! Does he look much like his father? Are you going to let him know that Isaac has been born (cool name by the way- my 13 week old nephew is also Isaac!)

Wite- congrats on your delivery of Harlow. Such a quick labour- your so lucky!

Sorry for not many persies. My brain just doesn't seem to function that well at the moment. Hoping it will be like the others and stuff will start to make more sense after 6 weeks!

AFM- Sam is doing great. He has put on 1.1kg in 5 weeks and is now the same size as DD when she was born! He is comfortably fitting all of his 000 clothes thank goodness! We had a rough time last night when he would scream every few minutes and strain like he was trying to push out a really difficult poo! He had had a bottle of S26 gold that morning when we were at the shops soI thought that might have caused problems. Sent DH out at 8:30 pm to find an open chemist and he came back with some wind stuff. Sam hated the taste, although it didn't smell too bad! Ended up getting in the bath with him at 10pm and he was fine. Went to sleep and woke up at 3:30am for a feed.
I went to see my GP today to get Sam's doodle checked (he was circumcised the other week and just had to get it checked- all good) and was telling him about wanting to cry all the time and having no patience for the older kids etc etc. I now have an appointment to see a psychologist who specialises in post natal depression! 4 kids and it only hits this time! There is some other stuff going on which I didn't have last time (my dad has just been diagnosed with cancer- melanoma on his head which needs surgery asap) and this on top of a new baby is doing my head in! Hopefully a couple of sessions with a professional will help and it will all be good!

And whoever was asking, my baby bonus has taken 5 weeks to get as DH filled in the forms incorrectly (you'd think that the 3rd time it would be a breeze, but NO!) and we had to provide some extra info, so it has slowed it down. The payment is $407 a fortnight, so no lump sum anymore!

OK, got to go and put dinner on. Not that the kids will eat it as unless it has a side of chips and is shaped like a chicken nugget they won't eat it. But I want something nice, so tough! OK, fight over remotes happenening again. Put on my peacemaker/ enforcer hat before I don the chef's hat!
