Kaz, how scary with the fires being that close! Glad you're okay. Bummer that you're feeling so bad. Sounds like you need a break from Pip for some 'me' time. Have you got anybody that can take him for a while?

Mel, I'm sorry that Becca's scan wasn't all good news. Did you have hip probs as a littley? Is it genetic? Just curious as to why both your girls have issues. My sis had a rare hip prob when she was a pre-teen and had to have surgery, but apparantly that was a flukey one-off thing.
Love your ticker pic!

Kel, I'm sorry you're still having sleep problems I don't know how you keep going with everything you're doing. Sleep deprivation really screws you up - I've been in tears a few times this past week due to it, and it's only a rare thing for me.
I know what you mean about you and your DH not having 'alone' time. You've actually reminded me that I want to see if mum can look after the boys while DH and I go to the movies or something next week. At the moment we seem to be in a tag-team when we're both home...taking it in turns to sleep!

Jen, Von and Kris - hi!

Us, we've had a good night and morning Last night Ben went to bed no worries at 7:30. It was lucky that he did because Jared fed ALL night again until 10:30pm. Seriously, he was on one boob or the other from the time we got home from the park (yay, some outside time at last!) at about 5pm until 10:30. Take him off and he was screaming. Anyway, he finally did a huge round of ripping farts and poos at about 10pm and then went to sleep until 3am! I had the most glorious sleep! Ben slept until 7am as well - it was wonderful

I felt so energised this morning that we ventured out to Big W to buy some nappies. Jared in the Hug A Bub (don't know how I'd get by without that thing) and Ben walking until he popped into a trolley. All went very well. Ran into one of my SIL's and another friend while we were out too so I felt like I was actually a part of the real world. Actually, today is probably going to go down as one of the best days since Jared was born... good sleep, some outside world interaction, no tantrums (yet) and some 'me' time right now. And the weekend is upon us meaning Craig is home for the next two nights - wonderful!!!

Okay, I really should go and do the washing up - bleh!
