getting sad in the evenings is, i think, pretty 'normal'. my naturopath gave me a recipe for a booby booster smoothie (that helps apparently in keeping your mood ok for the evening as milk production is lower by the afternoon/evening as we are tired and (literally!) drained). i have been taking almost religiously and should be drunk around 3pm (i have found it helps HEAPS with my energy and milk and therefore i have also felt much calmer and less weepy in the evenings...cause i was also finding the evenings the toughest emotionally!).

here's the recipe if you guys are interested...

1/2 banana
cup of acidophilus yoghurt
1 tbs of flaxseed oil
6-8 almonds (although i throw in extra as i LOVE them)
handful of frozen berries (I go the blueberries...yummy and full of antioxidants!)
cup of soy milk
cup of juice (i use apple juice, but i also reckon you can do without it)
tbsp of wheatgerm.

and yeah, throw it all together and blend away baby!!! it is sooo yummy! i also gave the recipe to my friend that is giving EBM to her son and she reckons she gets an extra bottle each night filled

My DH has/is also wonderful and lovely with me atm! i am so loving having him home it aint funny! we are also excited as we are planning a road trip for the end of October. a friend in wollongong has an apartment right on the beach that she is offering to us! YAY! so we are hitting the beach and can't wait! sooo over the grey cold of melbourne.

Marta is beginning to recover from her cold. i have been plying the poor wee girl with boob the whole time to try and fight off the bugs and it appears to working. last night was a much better night and she managed a good 5 hour stretch in the beginning which i think helped her turn a corner.

on a funnier note we had a POO-SPLOSION! front and back and through the nappy, up the clothes all the way to her shoulders . sooo funny! you shoulda seen her face lol!
