    Congratulations Missy, think I already said it on parent thread but will say again. He was exactly the same weight as my little Poppy:).

    The feeding is definately hard to begin but it does get easier and you have done great so far by the sounds of it.

    Hes ok, was born 7 weeks early weighing 4lb 4.5oz. hes still in hospital and i havent met him yet, but will be getting lots of cuddles when i do. They moved him to a hospital 60miles away because there was no space in the hospitals close to us, they have since moved him to a hospital 15 miles away, but still hard for me to visit with 2 kids of my own and no car! He should be home before xmas.

    morning!

    How is everyone?

    Well i thought I would update as OH has got up and me and baby roo are having cuddles in bed, he's always happy this time of day, althoughbhe's been a bit of a sicky boy and puked all over the clean bedsheets!!! again!! lol nothing stays clean in this house anymore!

    Going to write out the christmas cards today and try and finish off the xmas shopping.

    Need to also fill out baby's paperwork for child benefit and for the doctors.

    When i have a minute im going to go through my finances, I really need to have a good look at them as my maternity pay will stop in six months and I would really like to be able to cover my bills and to be honest I would really like to not have to go back to work and be able to work from home, so I am going to be looking into that, really can't bare the thought of leaving Roo. But that might wait for the new year.

    I also really need to start bringing our bills down, with shopping and electricity etc, Will go and hve a look at the OS board for help. HAve upped mine and OH's fruit intake too as we really need to start eating a lot healthier than we have been, but fruit doesn't come cheap, will maybe have to start shopping around, but will put all this into a plan to kick start in the new year, I will make small steps now, but I definitely need a plan of action for 2012. I still need to pay off my CC which with xmas has just gone sky high!! A new diary will be needed for the new year with my complete plan of action, I think it will take me that long to come up with it lol.

    Things like, washing on a short wash if possible, shopping at aldi, using the oven to cook lots of things at once, light the fire with free wood rather than put the heating on all the time, making sure baby is warm enough of course. Ebay all my stuff!!! Think I need to make a list!!

    sorry really rambling, :)
