just had to add some stuff:

it takes me SO freaking long to write a post as i'm interrupted 30 times by the little munchkins that between the start of my post and sending it, about 19 other posts from you guys appeared, which i realise it now looks like i've just rudely ignored, so wanted to add:

Kellie, we've all been there. babies, cute as they are, can be incredibly frustrating, and getting annoyed, and even yelling, is completely understandable. so don't beat your self up- it's not like you whacked her or anything. combine your own exhaustion and totally reasonable anxiety about a baby who doesn't want to sleep, and your reaction is totally normal. just let it slide, remember tomorrow is another day, and the fact that you even feel bad for yelling at her showns what a great mum you are.

erin, hope things are better with your little one. it must be so stressful for you planning the trip and then to have this on top of it must be horrible. you poor thing. i really hope it all settles down for you asap. And i hope even more so that neither you or hubby get what he's got! look after yourself.

babyno1- welcome on board! i just joined a couple fo days ago, so i feel a bit cheeky welcoming you when i'm such a newbie myself. but i must say that all the women here are super-cool and lovely. so enjoy!

okay, i better post this now before anyone else posts and i look worse for 'ignoring' them too- apologies if i didn't mention your post.

cheers
