Hi,

Haven't been for a while. My youngest is not sleeping through the night as yet and she is nearly 12 months old. Have been feeling the effects of sleep deprivation the last couple of months and been very teary and tired. At the moment I have taken on a cleaner to clean my house until I can get her to sleep through the night. She is on Zantac for her reflux but not sure if this is working so I am going to get back on to her paedaetrician next week to find out what else I can do. She is also wearing boots and braces on her feet at night due to the fact that she has a club foot and I don't think this is helping as well.

My other kids are fine. My oldest is in his last term at primary and will be starting high school next year. Luke who is 10, competed in his first year in soccer and went through the season undefeated minor premiers and premiers. My six year Melissa is doing well at school now and all the tears at the beginning of the year have gone. She has been very popular with the kids at the moment because she has been to nine parties so far this year. Jayden my four year old is enjoying preschool at the moment but not so when the kids were on holidays because he had to still go to preschool.

Mother of Christopher(12), Luke(10), Melissa(6), Jayden(4) and Ashleigh(1 next week)
