Hi everyone

BloominRoses welcome to the thread and congrats on Seth. I see he is 2 days corrected - he came a wee bit early didn't he! Would love to hear about your birth.

PB - I must have missed your post ? where are you heading off to? Somewhere lovely I hope. You will have to let us know if you discover something obscure that you should have taken, but didn?t. I am dreading packing for our week away next month ? who knows if you can buy nappies in Tonga? Pack everything and hope for the best I think! Jealous that C is giggling ? V has only just started smiling.

BOB ? I don?t live too far from you by the sounds of it! Thanks for the updates.

Sangie & Art? I didn?t scrub her too hard ? but she certainly doesn?t smell anymore! Sangie have you tried pumping after feeds to increase supply? That?s what I did and I think it?s helped.

Janine ? your photos are fantastic?I love seeing them on FB. How are you going without DF? I certainly feel for you ? you must have supportive family and friends? Is Emily drinking more is that why your concerned about not keeping up? Last time I think you said shes drinking 180mls? Is that right?that?s a lot to pump! Props to you!

Pooley ? OMG Frazer is a big boy! Is your DH tall and strapping ? maybe he will be like him! Your arms must be getting a workout! I wonder if his weight will plateau or if he will keep going?

AFU - had a bad day yesterday.....she wouldn't sleep at all. I think part of it is she is not used to being able to kick her legs and so she would start to drift off and then she would startle and wake herself up (swaddled or not). Think it will take some time until she gets used to not having the brace. so she wouldn't sleep or be put down, had to go to a physio appointment to check on the old pelvic floor muscles (still very weak - not cool), she screamed, had tears pouring down her face, so i started bawling and stayed like that all afternoon. then i felt ok and by DH made the mistake of pointing out my pudgy tummy - started bawling again.....not a good day! Finally she went to sleep at 8pm after being awake since 5.30am.......i felt like a woman on the edge!

Thank god today was better
