kuraiza - re our BB group - I think what has happened is that alot of us in the group have had subsequent babies this time around, and therefore have already experienced that lack of sleep comes with the turf of being a mum. So, it may well seem we are all cruisey and sunshine, but of course we have our times with our bubs too.

I think this time around for me, Zander is a result of karma from Giselle - who was a nightmare until about 6 months ago!!

I think I have previously posted that there is always more good than bad, but when you are so terribly exhausted, it is hard to see.

These ladies have given great suggestions, - to add, instead of a chiro, have him checked over by an osteo - they should charge less for babies, and that box can be ticked. He might be tight down one side which makes it uncomfortable for him to be in any one position for a length of time, not necessarily pain, just uncomfortable enough to prevent him going back to sleep. That is the only other thing I can think of that hasn't been posted!

Try marking on your calendar 3 days of the week in advance which days you will go out at first - mentally you will be ready, pack bags the night before, wash hair night before - so a quick shower and you can get out of the house.

Continue to take those baby steps, they are important for you both !
