Wow! Lots to catch up on....

Fi - sounds like you guys had an awesome mother's group at your place. Awww... so cute that little Jenna and Eliza were holding hands. Good on you for getting some books read! I am still waiting for the library to contact me and tell me about this month's book club book. I bet it doesn't come in until September!! Grrrr...

Trish - good to hear you are in the land of the living but, by the sounds of it, just barely. What a good boy Mark is for not staying at the buck's night all night. It's nice when they manage to show a little restraint! What's wrong with Tehya's hair? Did I miss something?? Good on you for booking in at sleep school. They may just have the recipe that you need.

Nat - good luck for Jacob's needles on Thursday. What a good boy sleeping all night for you! Pity about the lack of sleep during the day. Hopefully he will "do a Gabby" and just suddenly start having good naps during the day too.

Bec - woo hoo @ the extra cash! Hope you had a fun shopping spree. Are you going to stop going to your MG now that you have joined Fi's (because they are legends... hehehe)?

Sarah - I wouldn't worry too much about having MG @ your place. Zander would be over the contageous stage by now. Maybe just tell all the Mum's and they can leave it to their discretion as to whether they come over or not. Uno the funny thing... I went to school with a boy named Dallas. We always copped flack about "Debbie does Dallas" even though, at Primary School, most kids had no idea what that meant. In high school it was "Debbie does Drysdale" (the town I used to live in). Ha ha... very funny!

Gab's needles went really well. She was as happy as larry leading up to them - giving the nurse heaps of smiles. Well... the look on her face when she gave her the spoon. Ick! She was not impressed. Then the needles. Urrgh.. THAT cry! It's so hard to listen to her cry like that. It just got louder and louder with each needle. I put her on the boob straight away and she grizzled and sucked for a little while. After about 5 minutes, she was finished, sat up and gave the nurse a massive smile!! LOL
Honestly, she hasn't really shown any side-effects. I gave her some panadol before we went and then some more about 5 hours later but she has been fine. She slept all night and woke up happy. No bruises or anything. She's a clever little munchkin!

We picked up her cot a couple of days ago so now I just have to put it together and in her room. I might leave it until the weekend until I try her in it - I don't want to introduce change straight after her needles or else she may make an association to pain and major change. Yes... I have a warped mind!

Really gorgeous day here. 18 degrees!! Not bad for winter. I am going for a walk come hell or high water!
