Hi ladies,

Jules speaking of the floods, today doesn't look like a good day at all. Such devistation!!?? I hope all of us ladies are safe and well. I've been watching the Today show this morning and a couple of times they've mentioned a midwife contacting them who is aware of a lady out in rural Toowoomba (sp sorry) that is due to give birth any day and is totally isolated and they have not been able to contact her. I hope her and bub are ok. I remember watching the Black Saturday fires heavily pregnant with Charlie boy and now watching these floods, my gosh nature can be so cruel.

How is everyone?? My mum is back here now and the boys are out helping her clean out her caravan and i'm cleaning bathrooms. Harper is sleeping. We had another horrible evening last night and what worked to finally settler her on Sunday night wasn't working last night at all. Do any of you have tips that actually work to calm the witching hour or do you think it just has to run it's course each night??? I spoke to the MCHN about it and she assures me it is normal (her and I are confident she's not doing it to the extent of a baby with colic) and she says that that terrible isconsolable cry isn't causing any harm as long as i'm there with her. Same as when she's in the car because that kills me that i'm not holding her but we constantly talk to her and tell her it's ok so again the nurse says she'll know i'm there and it's just her not being able to calm herself.

So lets hope this is a phase that they out grow quickly.

Better get back to the cleaning. I'll be back soon ladies xox
