LoriRae - How is Ty? Re your job. If you really don't want to give up your job then don't. Mother guilt can be so bad some times but really you are only doing a small amount and the time away would help you to regroup and come back a refreshed mummy. I regret not going back to work after Sara, only because I have lost all my confidence now and my brain is mush. In saying that I am back working with DH one day per week but I still have Loren with me. I am going to hit up one of the grandparents to take her once in a while so that I can actually get some work done.

I don't wrap Loren anymore, she hated it from birth. My SIL wrap her DS right up until he was around 9 months. If it is working for you then don't stop.

Nic - A good mattress makes life so much better. I hope you get a good night sleep soon.

Trish - Poor Abbey and being so sick. Sending her get better vibes

Carrie - WTG on the settling. I don't have much luck in this department, although I just managed to re-settle Loren for the first time in days Miss Lollie is such a huge catnapper and snacker. I am trying hard to extend her sleeps and get her to have a decent size bottle, but atm I can only get 120ml per feed and some times she is feeding every 2.5 hours..grrrr.

Alicia - You lucky girl getting a new kitchen. Don't worry about Olivia having the odd week of bad sleep, it usually is just a phase particulary if bub has been a good sleeper to start with. Just keep with the "routine" and she'll slide back into it so enough. Are you putting her in the or craddle still? She may want some more space.

My miss commando finds it appropriate to roll over in her sleep and practise crawling all over her cot!!! This really does not help with trying to get a good sleep out of her. I have resorted to using the anti roll cushion again. Lucky I did not lend it out to my friend yet.

I went shopping for a pair of pants for Loren's Christening. ATM I am in-between sizes and it is so hard to get a good fit. I am trying so hard to loose this weight but nothing is happening Anyways I have decided to wear an old skirt with my new top and buy a really good pair of shoes instead. If my butt can't look good at least my feet might

Oh yeah and I'll have to get a really chuncky necklace so that my guests will look at that and not my chunky bits.
