Just a quick post while the boy is asleep. I want to grab some lunch and finish my thank yous so I can put them in the mail tonight.

Gemma, we were allocated to Park Crescent. There used to be a MCHN at Haering Road which is where Viv went to kinder and is about 5 minutes walk from our house. Unfortunately it closed and amalgamated with Park Crescent about two years ago. Yes, I did put Blake in one of the trolleys at Bunnings. I was only flying in to get one thing and he was asleep and had been in and out of the pram when we went down to Kmart and Coles just before hand and I couldn't be bothered getting the pram out again for such a short visit. I just grabbed Blake and a blanket and took him in. When I got to the door I saw they had capsule trolleys so I put him in. Saved my arms and made shopping easier except I forgot his dummy so good thing I only need one thing as he started squarking (he very rarely actually cries, he just squarks if he's unhappy). PS: I will send you an email about catching up.

Hayseed, I don't burp Blake for very long at all, perhaps 5 minutes unless he has a particularly bad tummy pain. I'm very lucky hes such a good baby. My DD had such terrible tummy pain and would also throw up constantly. Blake feeds, plays, poos and sleeps. Makes a huge difference, and really as a second child I'm thrilled. Couldn't imagine my stress levels if he was chucking all the time while I'm trying to get Viv to and from school and her skating lessons!

Vanita, Blake had gained weight before he had left hospital. ( I think it was your question). He was 4110g at birth and by the time we left hospital 6 days later he was 4200g.

OK my quick post has turned into another marathon.. gee and you thought you'd got rid of my marathon posts when Blake turned one month... sorry, I'm still here chatting with you girls.

I'm off to grab some lunch before I cook dinner, pack Viv's skating things and pick her up from school... (From school it straight to skating and then we're home about 5.45pm) Gee where did the day go?!

Enjoy your afternoon.
