[00:31] scud missile? [00:31] I think our first is gonna pop on my Dad's birthday (1st Oct) [00:32] 4 weeks 'til EDD [01:49] chilts: have you done the antenatal thing? [02:03] snail: yeah, had two lots of Sundays a few weeks back [02:04] chilts: i recommend working on keeping the group going. Theo is now eight months old and the antenatal group has been really, really good [02:04] sounds good ... I think we'll be having a meet up sometime after all the babies have arrived [02:04] though I think we may try and see a couple of others before that [02:11] chilts: also a good group to talk about which shops have baby equipment sales on this week [02:12] oh, and grats, by the way [02:12] * olly gets a glimpse into a whole different world [02:13] snail: thanks :) [02:15] chilts: also it's a great group to share baby photos with without turning off all your current friends [02:15] chilts: and just in case no one has warned you: you know they look like aliens when they come out, right? [02:17] heh [02:19] snail: yep, we saw lots of alien types in the antenatel classes, though I kinda expect it'll be weird in a few different ways :) [02:52] chilts: they're all weird in different ways, they're people after all [03:10] don't they just start off as noisy poo machines? [03:11] ibeardslee: for the first couple of days it's not poo but tar; after that they become poo machines [03:12] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meconium [03:13] chilts: have you done the 'i really shouldn't have google imaged that' thing yet? [03:54] snail: I do that all the time [03:54] wait, what? [03:54] :) [03:55] but yes, we've talked about all that stuff and I've seen much of it with my neices and nephew anyway :) [19:05] morning [20:01] morning [20:18] morning [20:18] i'm guessing the bad power / lightening strike was campus-local rather than wellington wide? [20:20] must have been [20:20] although there seem to be other problems going on related to the breeze [20:20] power is out to the signals on the Hutt Valley train line [20:24] to be honest the bad power here could have been construction [20:26] morning [21:06] morning [21:10] chilts: following up from yesterday, I recommend a breast-feeding app. my wife lives and dies by one === robert_ancell_ is now known as robert_ancell [22:56] morning [22:56] morning [22:56] snail: ah, yeah, I've seen a few people use one of those [22:56] which one do you use? [23:01] i made a nice graph of phoebe's feeding times over the first few months using an app's csv export and R :) [23:03] http://michael.hudsondoyle.geek.nz/o.png [23:05] heh [23:05] we always fed on demand and didn't try to limit to specific times [23:05] worked for us [23:05] right [23:06] chilts: i believe that they're all pretty much functionally equivalent; pick one that works well on your platform and let the other half pick the shiny [23:06] mwhudson: looked like there was time on the 14th of sept where she fed for 6 hours [23:06] but spotting trends is still fun for a geek :) [23:06] well, 3-4 [23:06] thumper: i presume that's a "forgot to stop the app" incident :) [23:06] :) [23:07] it's clear from that graph how quickly she stopped feeding between 2100 and 0300 or so [23:07] mwhudson: babies sleep better when in physical contact with an adult for the first couple of months (before they have their own themo-regulation). we had a couple of multi-hour feeds [23:07] (mostly) [23:08] the physical contact thing got harder when he learnt that we were two people and i wasn't the one with milky goodness [23:24] chilts: you may also want to set up a photo app on the same device with single-click send to a social media group on the platform of your choice. I strongly suggest you set up a 'people interested in flood of baby photos' group before the sleep deprivation sets in [23:25] and 'people interested in floods of pictures of sleep deprived adults'
