    hi all, I am still around, have just been too busy with work and Luke to drop in. I have him on my lap at the moment so eally not able to do too much bar read and type a quick message. He is doing really well, still sleeping from 7-8pm until 6-7am - it really is awesome. He doesn't sleep much during the day anymore though - only catnaps, hence my inabilityto get online!

    work and BF'ing is going well, only drama is that my SIL over feeds him, but he doesn't seem to mind! my big boy is now 8.66kg and growing.

    Ok, Luke is losing it, so will have to do this later!

    Hi shell, MOJ, Sharon, Sarah, Nettie, BW, Zennie - no time for personals.

    I think I am slowly but surely losing the plot. Tired nearly all of the time I just don't get the chance to sleep and get really p!ssed at DH when he continues to sleep in the mornings or has a nap whe DS does. I know he isn't get 8 hours but at least he gets 5-6 hours in a row. All the little things are getting to me - I know it is just the sleep deprivation.
    The coming week is just going to get worse too.
    Monday - try to get in cleaning up house for 3rd birthday party on the weekend
    Tuesday - Looking after 4 kids - what was I thinking when I agreed to that?
    Wednesday - shopping and mothers group - always a rush.
    Thursday - more preparation for Sunday and the usual household chores
    Friday - Getting birthday presents etc sorted out - (6 birthdays in next 2 weeks)
    Saturday - last minute stuff for parties, visit the Inlaws
    Sunday - morning B'day party, afternoon BBQ with friends
    Monday - recover and start preparations for Tuesday night.
    Tuesday - cooking and cleaning - having family over for dinner for DS's actual birthday.
    I'm tired just thinking about it.

    Despite not catching up on sleep - like I should have, but thought the sleep would only be her usual 20-30 minutes so didn't bother trying, I have gained some sanity this afternoon. Greer has been asleep with one feed in the middle for 4 hours. DH took DS to Nana for a couple of hours and he still isn't back. I've cleaned the front half of the house - 6 rooms. Still have 5 to go, but at least the pressure is off for during the week. Not having DS around and not having Greer crying has meant that I haven't been grumpy and losing the plot. Happy to know it's just me stressing about the birthday party as opposed to the beginnings of PND after Monday's melt down and the way I'd been all week I was seriously thinking I might have to follow in Sharon's footsteps and go see someone about it.
    Off to cook dinner now. Ramble some more later.
    Hope everyone is doing well and just too busy to type.
    PS Sharon Thanks for checking my link.
    When I get the chance I'll have a squiz at your pics again - love to see Oliver growing.

    mum to Jack your sig seems to be working perfectly
    shellbell I pretty much guessed that you where MIA because you are so busy with work and Luke, hopefully when our bubs start amusing themselves a little more it will make it easier for you to have some 'you' time and come and hang out with your buddies
    alittlegrubi If that was me, I would be freaking out BIG TIME! there is no way on this earth that I would be able to get that much done in a week. As for DH sleeping in, mine does too, and I do get very jealous and on the weekends I hope and pray for Oliver to have a BIG sleep after he has had his 1st bottle and play for the day, and maybe 1 morning out of 2 weekends I will be lucky and get a bit of a sleep in. No probs about the link, I love looking at other peoples photos.

    Had a nice day out in the city today, went to city extra for lunch, went for a wander around the Opera house (just outside) then took Jordan to the Police museum, which he loved, but he is still insisting that he wants to be a fireman when he grows up. We then had some baskin robbins ice cream, went for a drive to sydney airport watch some aeroplanes taking off (Jordan insists every time we are in town) then a quick drive down the road for a coffee and doughnut at Krispy Kreme, Oliver didn't have much sleep so was really cranky by the time we got home.

    Kirsten - haven't heard from her since her last post saying she had to see the Doctor about an abcess. Hope she is okay too.

    Sharon - do you have a mobile number from the bellybuddies?
