Sarah I had my DD in a carrier at the movies and she slept through. The mums with prams seemed to have more difficulty - guess it depends on whether the sounds will invoke startle reflex.
My DH helps out heaps, my issue is that he goes out nearly every night of the week if you include the gym as going out. He waits until we go to bed before going for social life, so it was just me feeling unloved and like everyone else comes before me, including the kids.
Fire that was our house yesterday, must be something in the air.
My back at the base of my neck is killing me from holding Greer and typing one handed most of the day - ebay listing.
Nettie hope I can try that clothes thing tonight and it work.
