No marcellus, that post made you sound like me! I would lie awake in bed thinking eeek i haven't heard a cry for a while, I hope he's ok and lie there panicking. Now sometimes I turn the monitor off!! If he really cries I can still hear him! Imagine what I'll be like with the second/third child.

ktgirl - I worry about the heat, but we haven't had the weather that you have. We did buy a portable air-con last weekend (as well as the baby-proofing, which is a work in progress). At least I can cool DS's room down if it does get really hot.

Nic - I'm so sorry for you and your family. Hope the sleep keeps improving for you all too.

I freaked the other night when DS wouldn't sleep, and I went into his room (again) to give him a bit of a pat, and he was sitting up looking at me. Aargh! I got such a fright. He's never sat up before on his own. It was such a funny look he gave me. Like, look at me, aren't i clever/funny!

Hi to all.
