    Hiya,
    just back from another overnighter with Jazz in Adelaide. Thanks for sharing your own experiences about routines (or whatever way you're surviving). Of course all that goes out the window with the teeth hey. It's comforting knowing that we are going through it together. jasmine just lunges forward and attacks anything she wants to sink her teeth into. It was funny when we were in Melbourne cos it was usually her Nana's face. Lucky Mum saw her lining her up and throwing the head back like a little animal and got out of her way.

    My tip for breast feeding and teething is to have lots of lie down feeds, as it takes the pressure off their gums and they can control everything in comfort. On the really bad days an nights (like the shockers I had before going away on Monday), if you can do it, just resign yourself to staying in bed and giving them around the clock access. With a cold that was making her spewy and teething driving her nuts, she just wanted access to my body to cling, comfort, feed and hydrate and we rode the fevers through with a full day and night in bed. We were so lucky, she was a brand new happy girl for our travels and therapy.

    Still no results on the mri and ct. Why am i not surprised? I was told 5 working days from may 25th and still nothing. We are only talking about whether my child will ever be able to hear anything for the rest of her life, why would my pulse be racing and anxiety peaking. Arrrggghh, I hate these flippant throw away things people say and then others tell you that was never going to happen. vent, vent, vent! So someone will ring me next tuesday (maybe) and i hope they sleep well on the weekend because i feel sick. ho hum....

    sorry. betterb go give jazzy a bone to gnaw on (other than my collar bone)

    Hi everyone
    i have been seriously missing in action because of university hell, anyway a big nasty statistics exam yesterday and I am FREE for 4 weeks. Yippee! holidays rock!

    I need to read up on all of your news, but just wanted to say hi.

    Adam is nearly 8 months old, nearly crawling, well launching off his knees and face planting anyway, teething madly (2 bottom teeth, very very sharp) and busy keeping mummy up half the night. All to be expected, but despite the sleep deprivation, I am enjoying my little boy.
