It's soooooooo quiet in here! Not that I can talk, I've been pretty quiet myself.
Fire - So glad that Ci's skin is all clear now. I can't believe how much it stressed me out when Jack's skin was upset. The itchy thing might just be habit? Might be worth baby burritoing him for a night or two to see if it breaks the habit? Just thinking out loud!
Nettie - that night sounds nasty! I've had a few of those myself. Hope that Liam is doing better now.
BW - CONGRATS on the rolling - what a cleaver baby!
Shoegal (love your IRL name by the way!) - So glad that Baxter's appointment went well. Got to love the raspberries and belly laughs, makes all the bad times worth it. Thanks for checking in on me by the way - I've just been so exhausted that I've only just barely had the energy to read the thread let alone participate. I remember when you were pregnant with Baxter and dropped off the radar for a month or two. I was so worried that something bad had happened! I guess we all worry about each other every now and then!
mgm - Hope your nights are getting better!
Beatrix - Wooo Hooo on the teeth! How cute. Hope they did not cause too much pain for either of you!
Things have been ok here. Actually they have been great with the exception of sleeping. If at all possible the sleep situation has been getting worse. I hit rock bottom a few nights ago. He woke 9 times through the night. 4 times before midnight! I was a wreck and just broke down in tears to DH. He kindly took him off me at about 6:30 and let me sleep for a few hours. I was feeding him at one stage (about 3am) and just felt so angry and alone. He was not settling, and not feeding properly and I had not had more than 1 hours consecutive sleep. I was just sitting there feeding him with tears rolling down my cheeks and thinking "I hope that my crying does not change the flavor of my milk" - how strange is that? Anyhow, DH took him for the first few hours last night as well so things seem much less dire when you have some sleep behind you. It felt sooooo good to have 5 hours consecutive sleep. I've got a copy of the No cry sleep solution, but we are about to go on holiday for two weeks so did not want to start anything when we will just be disrupting him soon anyhow.
Nettie I know that you tried the NCSS - did you find that things got worse before they got better? It warns in the book that some of the techniques might mean that you might get less sleep for a while. That scares the life out of me as I am only getting about 5 hours a night as it is. I honestly don't know how I could function on any less.
