Sorry I couldn't get onto BB any earlier, it said the system was down.
Big Woo Hoo here - we actually got a full nights sleep!!!!!! Yesterday I thought perhaps she needs more food during the day to help her sleep through so I gave her cereal with mango for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch followed with watermelon until she didn't want anymore, she had yoghurt for afternoon tea, meat and veg for dinner, followed by a banana (the first time she has eaten one) just before bed. Plus she had 3 bottles. It seemed to help the sleeping through (she slept for 12.5 hours!). How much do other bubs eat? I dont think I gave her too much as as soon as she wanted to stop eating we stopped.
Melb Girls Catch Up - Thursday 27th November @ QV - Opposite Flinders Station 11am Morning Tea! ALL WELCOME!!! - Cafe we went to Last time??, cant remember name.. will find out.
I think you mean Federation Square Lauren, not QV. I can't remember the name of the cafe either but will look it up
OK I checked the Fed Square website, it is called Cafe Chinotto. The website is easy to find and check out the map on if anyone wants to see where to come

Alicia WTG on the full nights sleep Most days for breaky Molly will have cereal or toast followed by a yoghurt, Morn tea if she is up- fruit or sultanas or something similar, Lunch either s/which or pasta such as left over spag bol, Dinner meat and veg/pasta or on a lazy day just finger foods such as toast, steamed veg etc etc. She will often have a custard, jelly or yoghurt after dinner too and has 3 bottles in a 24 hr period and she sleeps from 5.30pm-7am most nights. However she has always been a good sleep and only wakes if she is teething or unwell.
Had a good night last night and so far a good morning too. Went to the shops with my sisters and Kmart have 40% off clothes so did a bit of shopping. They had really nice singlet and undie sets from size 2 reduced to $3 then take your 40% off. Got some dora and diego ones for my DD1 and a couple of friends kids.
Well i am off to the gym tonight and i cant wait. I really am having a "i wanna get fit and healthy" phaze but have to wonder how long it will last lol. Then i am going to work another night shift so will be a tired mama again tomo but dd1 goes to DC tomo so just Molly and i to worry about.
Ok everyone, I need some muchly needed Advise, opinions, anything......!
OK, I have just found a job add that I am VERY keen on. Not garrenteeing ill get it but I would love some advice from those of you back/going to work and childcare..
I emailed my resume just cos I was so excited when i saw it, Its specialising in paediatrics and its sort of close to home (13mins) and also in a hospital 2mins from me where i have previously worked before...- Great money too!
I have a huge passion for my nursing and lately been craving going back, yet I will be heart broken to be away from Ash.
Mum looked after Ash for the very first time for 2 hours yesterday whilst I had my doctors apt and besides i almost didnt know what to do with myself lol he was perfectly fine with mum. - The position is 4 days a week, but mum said she will do one on her day off, so that leaves 3.
SO, my dilemma is,
1) How do i know when Ash is ready for childcare?
2) How do you pick a great day care, and most importantly - do they tell you ur baby is upset i think you should come get them!!
3) How an earth do you do it??? start one day a week then slowly do more??
4) Does this mean Ash must be fully weaned? And he should have cows milk now as a calcium substitute??
Also am I being selfish because ive been given the chance by mum to live here just paying very cheap board, so i can be a stay at home mum, and i should be using that to be with Ash as long as I can........!
I so dont know what the right thing is. I know lots of mummys have to go back to work, some very early.. but i have never had a child in care so i dont know how they react to it or if ill regrett it. I guess I can always try it and quit if its too much. At least i have that flexability being at home with mum, but i need to get back out working again, i feel like a leech on mum!
Am i gonna miss all the exciting things Ash will do cos hes with someone else, and will his needs be filled? And i cant take him to gymbaroo and mother group!! I can still do swimming on weekends i guess. ...... aaaaahhhhh
I think the biggest fear is him being upset and them not telling me or them being mean to him!! - How is a mother supposed to feel comforted leaving there baby with a stranger who also has 4-5 other kids to watch at the same time!
Would love to hear oppinions and other people experiences!! Sorry for the BIG me post.
