COPIED FROM OTHER THREAD (In case you can't be bothered reading twice!)
well..that kinda all went to crud...
I mentioned that BJ has been a bit fussy at bedtime and we were assuming it was wind (cause if we got him up and burped him, he'd burp....) but I've come to the conclusion that he would burp if we patted him on the back whether wind was bothering him or not, and that I thought it was overtiredness so I was gonna aim for an earlier bedtime (it's usually 7:30). Well, he was just finishing what he wanted of his bottle at 6:40 and had lovely dopey/drowsey eyes, and blinks that lasted a couple of seconds....and DH got home from work (earlier than I expected), and came in to let us know he was home...well of course BJ went spacko at seeing daddy, smiles and laughing and squealing etc, and instead of being asleep by about 6:45, he finally fell asleep (after displaying the exact same behaviours as previous nights at 7:30.
Now dont get me wrong, I love that BJ and DH have such a wonderful connection, but I wanted to test the overtiredness theory tonight and it was all looking promising....grrr....nevermind, I've put my foot down and told DH that BJ will be in bed at 6:30 tomorrow night and thats final!
He did take a little less time to settle tonight than in previous nights, suggesting that I MAY be onto something as he was going to bed earlier tonight and then took less time to settle...will see tomorrow night I guess.

well....that was a very interesting night.
After falling asleep at 7:30...Benjamin stayed asleep til 1:30am...I got up and was on my way into him when he settled himself to sleep again...then woke at 3:45 and I had to give him his dummy cause he couldnt reach it (his neck didnt extend that far!), re-settled himself at 6:00am and stayed asleep til 8am...then had 120ml of bottle....
I'm impressed!!!

well...since I'm the only one posting at the moment, I'll give you another update.
We put the bedtime routine into action alot eariler today...he had a bottle at 4 (120ml), played til 5:15, had his cereal, in the bath at 5:40, out of the bath after a play at 6pm, into the bedroom, 180ml of bottle, into bed at 6:15, asleep at 6:30.....Im in shock!
We'll see how the rest of the night goes, and tomorrow....
3 nights in a pattern, so I'm not counting my chickens til monday night, but, if this keeps up, DH will have to just see him before work in the mornings, and on the weekends which is a pity, but, if its best for Bj so be it!
My hair is falling out some but I just put it down to the fact I'm wearing it up more so it all comes out once a day rather than during the course of the day. No real AF for me either, I've taken two pg tests in the past month because I'm so uber-paranoid. A little bleed yesterday but nothing...
Lila's sleep has been a little irregular lately but we're getting 7-12 hours. Pretty big range. And she's having short naps in the afternoon now for DH, about an hour.
Started new job, its really good. Pleasant. Hard work but fun. Most of the customers are regulars and I do things like help people pick out quilt fabrics. Fun. And busy. I'll be working 2/3 days a week so that will be ok. And DH is so good with lila.
Ack she's upset gtg. Hope all are well, would like to hear from you all...
Had SIL & a niece (there are 4 kids, but the rest were away elsewhere) over for tea tonight for Roast Beef and we all had a lovely time!
But Liam's really unsettled now & we've had to get him up to give him a bottle and try to re-settle him after going in about 7 times since 8pm to re-settle with the dummy after we put him in bed. I hope he settles down now because I've been sick with a migraine all day and am ready for him to sleep through the night tonight so I can get some rest!
Steph - that job sounds sweet! It's so good when you can find a job you like...
Hope everyone else is doing ok and I'll check back in tomorrow.
Shoegal I still haven't gotten AF, but thought you should know you don't need to have an AF to be able to conceive so I have been told. Are you still intending to be breastfeeding Baxter around 1? I'd just start temping and TTC when you are planning to and hope for the best.
I got AF with DS after 4 months and no sign of it yet this time around, I'm kinda hoping it stays away for at least another 4 months until I return to work at least.
