Hi all, it's been ages since I was last on here. How is everyone?

Hello and Welcome Nadine! And welcome back Helen!

Things have been hectic here, we've been doing a lot of fundraising for the people who lost things in the bushfires, this weekend we have a motorbike ride and show day to raise money to buy push bikes for the kids who lost their's in the fires. We've had 13 bikes donated so far and we've been told that 40-odd people have expressed an interest in coming along on sunday. Should be interesting lol

Jaycen is asleep at the moment, he's been awake for 4 hours. Seems like that's going to be the norm for now on, the past three weeks he has stayed awake for 3-4 hours at a time, have a 1 hour sleep in the morning, and again in the afternoon and a few 5-10 minute naps during the day. The only time I can get anything done is after 10pm! lol and by that time I am bushed.

At least Jaycen is still sleeping from 11:30pm through to 7-8am, makes life so much easier.

Started going to mother's group 3 weeks ago too... it's quite interesting. And I'm so proud to say that Jaycen is the youngest there and is bigger (in both height & weight!) than over half of them! He's such a little chubba man

He started laughing properly the other day, it was so sweet and exciting, it nearly brought me to tears. He only laughs if I'm bouncing him on my knee though, he won't do it for anything else. He's also all smiles, wakes up in the mornig talking to himself (or maybe it's the toy hanging off the top of the cot... I'm not sure), and gives me half an hour to wake up and get his bottle ready before he starts grizzling.

Sorry for having a bit of a rant, DF has been away all week and I've been home alone with Jaycen, it's hard doing everything by yourself, I have the utmost respect for single mothers now.

Anyway, hope everyone is doing good, and hopefully I'll be able to get back online again soon!
