Jen, isn't this weather much better? The boys and I have been out much more frequently lately. Maybe that's why they've both settled down a lot more?

Kris, I hope I don't end up like that! I really love being at home with my boys and I'm hoping that that doesn't change

Mel, sounds like a growth spurt to me. Geez, I hope Liv gets used to giving up her cot soon!

Kaz, thanks for the advice re: a night nappy. We use a wool cover at night and of late haven't had any problems. Might look into a night nappy if we get leakage again soon.
I love my new avatar too!!!!

Us, we had a really good couple of nights. Jared has slept for five or six hours the last couple of nights and it makes the world of difference. Today I ventured out to my folks' house and the shops and still managed to do some housework and cook a baked dinner. Things are definitely starting to fall into place. I think it's all related to sleep!
