    Sorry to hear you've had a rough night again Meg! Maddy has been like that for a week and last night was a breakthrough for us; although I totally understand where you're coming from! {{{{hugs}}}}

    Melly - that is such great news that you've found a childcare spot on campus for Logan. It'll be so much more convenient for you 'cause if Logan's ill or out-of-character it'll be a short walk for you to get to him. Good luck with your studies! Wish I could be so disciplined, but I've decided on my next career path. I'm going to become a baker... *L* Once Maddy's old enough for kindy I'm going to try and get an apprenticeship of sorts to learn how to bake. Eventually it would be great to open a proper bakery.

    Nice to see you again Rach...glad to hear that you have your contented little bubba back. Way to go Hannah for being so good for Mummy! Anything else new going on in your life?

    Well for us, we're off to the Gold Coast today for a night away. Our 4th wedding anniversary is on Thursday and every year DH's parents give us a night away as a present. Should be really nice and we're hoping it stays sunny so we can take Maddy to the beach.

    She screamed the house down last night in bed for 1/2hr but would you believe we perservered and she slept 10pm - 7am!?!?! I freaked out a couple of times wondering if I'd brought her back to bed and dropped her 'cause she wasn't in my arms. Irrational mummy I am!

    Hope you all have fantastic weekends! Will be back tomorrow afternoon to catch up on all the goss!

    Happy anniversary for next week Beck!! Hope you have a lovely night!
    I like your bakery idea, how quaint! You will also be rich from your baby room products!! ( I was without a nappy the other day and could've really done with a nappy/wipe dispenser)!!
    We just changed Coco's car seat around to face the front. It's a big milestone for us!! Tim, Tilly and I were all very excited!!
    Im thinking coco's sleep has something to do with teh wrapping. i was trying not to wrap her so much, but think the only way she'll sleep at the moment is tight wrap with sleeping bag over the top. Think I'll just continue with that until tresillian!!
    how is everyone else going?? Dani, Kate, Sarajo ?? And to all the other lovely mumma's and bubba's, hope to hear from you all soon xoxo

    Hey there Meg

    I was just reading your post about wrapping Coco.

    I too have this issue with Brodie where he needs to be wrapped and he also has a gro-bag - what I actually do is put him in the gro-bag first and then wrap on top - ironically it seems to work.

    I think Brodie's personal challenge through the night is to get out of the wrap - he mostly wins, well atleast the top half of him does and if he gets out through the night he has the sleeping bag to keep him warm - everytime i have done this technic he has slept through - well atleast from 10.30pm - 6ish - 7.30ish am - it drives DH mad as Brodie is quite robust and loves a wrestle but it's worth the effort.

    Just thought I'd share that one with you - who knows it could just work....

    Thanks Dianna! I've been doing the opposite, wrapping under teh sleeping bag!! It's so hard to know what to do. I think I'll do my way tonight (as I've been trying different things) and if that doesn't work i will try your way!! I am willing to give everything a go!!It's a learning curve this baby thing isn't it!! And it shows just how different all bubs are, because this wasnt an issue with Tilly. She was never ever wrapped and infact she never even had a sheet or blanket until she was in a bed. I just dressedher appropriately. It was so much easier!!
