[00:31] <chilts> scud missile?
[00:31] <chilts> I think our first is gonna pop on my Dad's birthday (1st Oct)
[00:32] <chilts> 4 weeks 'til EDD
[01:49] <snail> chilts: have you done the antenatal thing?
[02:03] <chilts> snail: yeah, had two lots of Sundays a few weeks back
[02:04] <snail> 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] <chilts> sounds good ... I think we'll be having a meet up sometime after all the babies have arrived
[02:04] <chilts> though I think we may try and see a couple of others before that
[02:11] <snail> chilts: also a good group to talk about which shops have baby equipment sales on this week
[02:12] <snail> oh, and grats, by the way
[02:12]  * olly gets a glimpse into a whole different world
[02:13] <chilts> snail: thanks :)
[02:15] <snail> chilts: also it's a great group to share baby photos with without turning off all your current friends
[02:15] <snail> chilts: and just in case no one has warned you: you know they look like aliens when they come out, right?
[02:17] <hads> heh
[02:19] <chilts> 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] <snail> chilts: they're all weird in different ways, they're people after all
[03:10] <ibeardslee> don't they just start off as noisy poo machines?
[03:11] <snail> ibeardslee: for the first couple of days it's not poo but tar; after that they become poo machines
[03:12] <snail> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meconium
[03:13] <snail> chilts: have you done the 'i really shouldn't have google imaged that' thing yet?
[03:54] <chilts> snail: I do that all the time
[03:54] <chilts> wait, what?
[03:54] <chilts> :)
[03:55] <chilts> but yes, we've talked about all that stuff and I've seen much of it with my neices and nephew anyway :)
[19:05] <ibeardslee> morning
[20:01] <Atamira> morning
[20:18] <snail> morning
[20:18] <snail> i'm guessing the bad power / lightening strike was campus-local rather than wellington wide?
[20:20] <ibeardslee> must have been
[20:20] <ibeardslee> although there seem to be other problems going on related to the breeze
[20:20] <ibeardslee> power is out to the signals on the Hutt Valley train line
[20:24] <snail> to be honest the bad power here could have been construction
[20:26] <ajmitch> morning
[21:06] <mwhudson> morning
[21:10] <snail> chilts: following up from yesterday, I recommend a breast-feeding app. my wife lives and dies by one
[22:56] <chilts> morning
[22:56] <olly> morning
[22:56] <chilts> snail: ah, yeah, I've seen a few people use one of those
[22:56] <chilts> which one do you use?
[23:01] <mwhudson> 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] <mwhudson> http://michael.hudsondoyle.geek.nz/o.png
[23:05] <thumper> heh
[23:05] <thumper> we always fed on demand and didn't try to limit to specific times
[23:05] <thumper> worked for us
[23:05] <mwhudson> right
[23:06] <snail> 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] <thumper> mwhudson: looked like there was time on the 14th of sept where she fed for 6 hours
[23:06] <mwhudson> but spotting trends is still fun for a geek :)
[23:06] <thumper> well, 3-4
[23:06] <mwhudson> thumper: i presume that's a "forgot to stop the app" incident :)
[23:06] <thumper> :)
[23:07] <mwhudson> it's clear from that graph how quickly she stopped feeding between 2100 and 0300 or so
[23:07] <snail> 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] <mwhudson> (mostly)
[23:08] <snail> 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] <snail> 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] <olly> and 'people interested in floods of pictures of sleep deprived adults'
