Yes i am probably depressed even tho i don't want to admit it or want pills for it. I don't have time to wee in peace, never mind anything else. My mom was in hospital but came out on monday and went away straight from there so i am dealing with all sorts of shit that i don't feel i should have to deal with. As a result of all the added stress my mom has caused me and i had the flu my milk supply which was nearly a litre a day has gone down to half a litre a day and is decreasing very fast. So i have decided that ill start giving abdul hakeem rice cereal at night. The last two nights i have had very little sleep and tonight looks like its headed the same way. On my way home from work today i fell asleep in the taxi. Some guy woke me up and gave me a lecture about it not being safe. This week must hurry up and finish so my mom can be back and deal with her own problems. There is no time for me to cook, so i guess its sandwiches tomorrow night for dinner cos my dad insists he eats at 6pm and i only get home after that, so you can imagine. All the pictures are very cute. Hugs.

All the pics so cute

Today a year ago I started spotting, which didn't surprise me as I was expecting AF that day or the next. Later the day it was all gone, not a drop, and when it was still the case the next day, I started thinking something was wrong. Little did I know a little surprise was getting comfy inside my uterus .

(Claire, your "year ago" post made me go and have a look at the dates).

HI Girls

great to see that all seems ok on the moomie front!

Lucy...those feet are so so cute! I have never been a "foot" person, but i just love kissing Ryans...and I get squeels of delight from him! His are nearly not as chubby and cute tho!

MissesMom - you go girl re the weight...its nice when people start to compliment you...I have had a few, but still 8kg over weight with 2 chins and only fitting in my fat jeans. Want to diet but with BF just not been to strict yet!

Meags...oh my that is expensive! Shame...

Ryan is 17 weeks today! I dont know where i would be without him...he is the joy of my life. We got into a nice routine of only waking up once at 3am for a feed, but the last few days we have gone back to 12 and 3am! Not to happy about that but it makes sense as in my baby sense book it says from 17 weeks they might start waking again for 2 feeds! So now i am wondering if I can start him on some cereal? He just does not seemed satisfied with BM anymore.....

Lucy - Love those chubby little feet - sooo cure!!
Meags - love Matt's little curly moustache

The pics of all the lo's are so adorable!!

Meags - Hahaha What a funny pic - Love it!! That formula is super expensive, ouch!

Missesmom - here are my chubby feet!
