Juniper! I think I remember you from some previous threads. :congratulations: on your precious little poppet!

Lise, sounds like teeth for sure and is he in a Wonder Week too? Don't worry too much, it will pass. If you get really desperate, I find a car trip does the trick. My DS is a bit the same, it's lucky dip as to whether he has a nap at all let alone two, but he refuses to go down til about 9:30-10 at night (or almost midnight in last night's case) but I guess that's what happens when you're created by two insomniacs! Every time I even think about complaining my mother quickly reminds me that I never slept a full night until I started school, and only ever slept an hour and a half at a time until then

with the tour Grub! Are you thinking of a water birth?

OMG Janie , how fast has that gone??? I think I joined the preggy thread just as you had her! Seems like yesterday!

Oh RRH... a woman after my own ! I love the term "nowt"! My dad is from Sheffield & both he & his sister have been in Oz since the early 60s but I love how their thick Yorkshire accents come back whenever they get together.

to Murph, Saph, KellyD, Lenny & anyone else I've missed.

And Barney? You've been pretty quiet of late! We miss you in here!

AFU, not much going on. Woken up to a very snotty, miserable boy who also has a nasty tooth (#7) coming through. Last couple of days he's been off his food and it's been a battle to get him to drink anything (which was really tough in the 38 degree heat yesterday) and not sleeping much at all. As I said it was almost midnight last night after resorting to driving laps around town for an hour (normally when we get in the car he's out before we've left the driveway) and he woke grizzling about every 15mins. Normally I would tuck him in with me but I have a bit of an asthma cough that I feared would constantly wake him up (fat difference it made ) Anyway poor DH, between fido & snot monster his eyeballs were pretty much hanging out of his head this morning!

Anyway enough of the "woe is me" talk... hope everyone has a great rest of the week!
