Good morning everyone!

Claire - Dream feeding - I used to do that when Jensen was a lot smaller and we had our nights worked into 2hour shifts. I woke before he did, anticipating it, fed him and put him back to bed and he was none the wiser.

Rebecca - I'd have to find short sleeved, short legged suits now. I don't know about every one else, but it's been getting hot here lately. Not really using the wondersuits anymore. I dont have washer beside the change table, but prolly should, as man - that boy can pee far!

Kim - Welcome to you and Hayden! DTD - no we did before 6wks, roundabout the 4th week. Its different than before, prolly from the stitches but (TMI) its better now!

Sara - Your cousin moving up - potential babysitter?

Shell - Lucky you with your girls not using a dummy. Ours is a lifesaver, and is only used to settle and maybe fall asleep. Once hes quiet enoug, or asleep enough, I try and take it out. However, if he doent want it, he'll spit it as far as he can! I didn't want to use one coz I dont want a dummy dependant child. However, had i not used one (started day 3), I would have lost it. There was no sleeping when we were in hospital, by either of us. My sister has weened her 11mth off his dummy about a mth ago, so when the time comes, I'll just ask for pointers.

Ali - Welcome home! Great to hear Emma is doing better! Hope you had fun at the charity event!

That sleep pattern I mentioned is getting worse! Last night was terrible! With being sick too (I have a headcold ) it wasn't easy. Jensen slept last night from maybe 7:45 to 10:30 - then it started. I fed him, early, then tried to put him back to bed to which he screamed. So i tried to rock him to sleep and his eyes were shut, so back we went. Woke himself up with the startle reflex when I put him down. Tried again - this time wrapped up, woke coz he couldn't get his arms out. This time he was happy just to look around. 1230, 1, 1:45, 2:15, 3:30, 4:30 He woke up. It took about 10 mins to make sure he was asleep, or at least on his way. He fed at most waking times. At 3:30 Andrew had him, and kept him quiet for a few mins. He was happy just to look around and smile and gurgle at me. At 4:30 enough was enough, so i got him to sleep - that took an hour, arranged a pillow between our pillows, set him down and cuddled him face to face, and he was right. He's asleep there now, and I'm not far off it! Andrew was great about it all last night. He can get a lil cranky if he wakes up at night. He woke round 7:30 for a few mins then slept til 12:30. Hes back asleep now.

Jensens 2mth needles will be on the 18th, 2 calender mths. Not looking forward to it. Do you think its a good idea to hold off feeding til after theyre done, so I can calm him with it? They say to do that for 2hrs before his circumcision, so after the procedure, I can calm him with it. EEEK! Thats next Monday.

Oh! We had to borrow one of my sisters cars, as ours overheated. We were 1.5hrs from home, just before going to the 2yo's party. Andrew was p!ssed. We have a 1995 Range Rover. The overheating can be 1 of 2 things. Either its just the head gaskets or we've cracked the cylinder heads. Option 1 is more preferable, or something cheaper & easier to be fixed would be even better. Option 1 is a $5000 job, whereas Option 2 is a $10,000 job. Damn luxury 4WD. Either way, its a 3wk job.

Better go and hang some washing and do some shopping! Hope your all well.
