Fire - Well done on Ci walking. He is a little champ! Sounds like things are starting to get a little easier for you. I'm so glad.

Shoegal - Hope Baxter is going well. We are going to start trying for another one when Jack is 1. It took us nearly a year last time, and a miscarriage, so we don't want to mess about too much, as it does not get easier with age. When are you thinking of trying?

Nettie - Jack went to 2 sleeps when he was 6 months old and has been wavering between 1 and 2 sleeps for about 6 weeks now. This boy HATES sleep. He still wakes about 4 times a night now. I gave up on the dream of having more than 4 hours straight sleep months ago. I had to really, or else I would have gone insane. We bed share full time now, so that way I get the most sleep. It's actually much easier now that he is bigger as I feel much more comfortable cuddling into him. You have probably already said, but when is Liam due for surgery? Best of luck with it anyhow, I'm sure everything will go perfectly.

BW - I so agree with you on the crawling/commandoing thing. I don't want my baby to grow up either! It all goes by so fast.

MagicSeahorse - I can understand you not thinking you can handle another one. I have those moments, too, but don't discount another one just yet. You may feel differently in a few years when all the hard times are a distant memory. Then again, I might change my mind about another one after a few more hard sleepless nights!
