Hi all!
Kim, don't feel guilty- as others have said, it's the best thing for Hayden at this point. You did well, don't beat yourself up. And Oh, how I'd love to have my hair done! Just a trim (and wash, blowdry) would do me at this point. Sigh. Visions of things that can never be dance before my eyes...

Sara, how goes the doula course? Are you enjoying it, even though I imagine it's hard work? Tell us all, I'm rather curious.

Ali, congrats to your little Sarah on getting to the next swimming level! I like the idea of vanishing for a night and leaving both girls with DH. An excellent way to educate the other half of the partnership.

Well, today's been entertaining- I was up at 5.50am (curse you, inadequate curtains in Laura's room!) and fed Laura. And fed her and fed her and fed her. Seriously, that child was a bottomless pit this morning! And then, unsurprisingly, I had to change a nappy that should have been marked "Caution Toxic Waste", and we went through three nappies just waiting for her to finish pooing. Every time I thought she'd finished, she'd turn red and squeak again. The lowest point came when I was sure she was done and hoisted her up by her ankles, only to get a jet of liquid poo all down my nightie. SIGH....

But matters improved, and we made it to the library and I have many books to read to her, and she was very good in the library (once I fed her AGAIN). DH is reading nursery rhymes to her and to my amusement is singing them as though he's Elvis. Gives "Little Miss Muffet" a whole new meaning!
And we just got back from netball, where I played WA for a half, as I was feeding her (sigh) the first half, and we won 27-8. Woooooo!!!

So, how are you?
