Hi all,

TK - Im so sorry to hear that you have been struggling, im so glad you were able to find the help you need, and remember... you are not alone...there are so many mothers out there that feel exactly the same way, but unfortunately will never seek help. Good on you for recognising that things werent right and for taking the steps to make it better, i imagine thats the half the battle. Motherhood isnt easy for anyone, and those who claim its all perfect...LIARS!!!! I wish you all the luck in the world hun, and we are ofcourse always here to listen.

Tippytoes - ill see you on friday my darlin'! Cant wait! xxx

Misty - Oh hun, being a mother is a tough gig...beautiful (most of the time) but bloody exhausting! I feel like im yelling at ds1 a lot at the moment too...always telling him to be gentle around bubs, fighting with him to brush teeth, do readers
(homework in general), eat dinner...infact i get arguments for most things! Oh dear, i love the little fella more than i can say, but wow, the arguments are doing my head in!!!! Sometimes I look forward to bedtime for both of them so I can just sit...be still...and breathe!!!!! I have found that now I have more than 1 child, people are less inclined to offer help and babysitting, as more than 1 is harder for them. Im doing so much more on my own now than i ever did before, and i prob need it NOW more than i did before! Anyway...perhaps you can leave the kids with hubby and have a night out on your own, or with some girlfriends, just to unwind and feel like you again, that always helps me. Good luck, and breath, tomorrow you'll probably feel a lot better.

Saffi - GL with the move to the cot. I also started by putting bubs in there for day naps, then made the big move to night sleeps about a week or two later. He seemed to handle the transition just fine (better than me anyway ).

Cheezlemonster - good luck with starting solids. It seems to have come around so quickly doesnt it? I feel like I just established breastfeeding! Time flies!

Ellee - enjoy your trip
