Just a quick one while E is asleep, I reckon I've got about another 10 mins before she wakes up LOL Not much happening here, still not sleeping much by day or night and DH is going away for work next week for 3 days the exact same day she is having her needles argh! Then he's away for a week and a half as of the 21st - so not looking forward to it

Willow - Glad yesterday was a better night, sounds like a plan with the patting. Its hard to know what will work sometimes isn't it? I haven't had a lot of luck with patting E, she just rolls over and looks at me and smiles Hmmm Lemon Tree Passage, I don't know that its all that bad up there, at least it is not too far away from Newcastle and not far away from Port Stephens either - but I'd be a little worried about noise from the RAAF though. I'm not saying I wouldn't ever live there though LOL although I know DH wouldn't - but that's only because it would take him ages to get to work from up there, he works out in the sticks near Kurri. Hope DD is feeling better today too

Saffi - GL with the cot and nice avvi!

Rach - I know how you feel about the choking, my DH is the same because when DD1 was 6 months old she almost choked on a piece of rockmelon. So I'm being extra careful with E. But she liked gumming a piece of bread yesterday. As for the sleeping bags I have a Grobag for E and think its pretty good. Although she is not a big fan LOL because it gets in the way of her rolling over But I used a sleeping bag for ages with DD1 and I do want to get E back into one especially when the weather gets colder.

Issy - Glad to hear your night was better too.
