Thanks girls for the support!! I am feeling better now, she finally fell asleep about 3am on the boob so I just shoved her over to DH and he co-slept with her... she slept till 6:30 so got 3.5 hours sleep. I was honestly going insane. Poor DH had me crying and C screaming... rubbing my back and rocking the bassinet at the same time. I am just glad she finally fell asleep!!! She went back to sleep at around 8am and then woke up at 9:30. She is asleep now finally cause she's been up since 9:30. So we are going on 20 mins asleep! yay!
I am feeling emotionally a bit better than last night. I completely lost it btu I enjoyed a 5 min hug with her this morning before she started crying again and I didn't freak out when she did start either.. I handled it way better. I think it's just hardest at night when I am exhausted and she just won;t settle. Mornings are usually better and I think it's because she is so exhausted from the night.

Does the sleep school cost anything? I don't think I could go away from DH for a week!! He wouldn't be able to come cause of work. There would be one in Brissy I am sure, I might look into maybe a day session?

New dawn: I will have to look into contacting a FLO. I didn't know they did stuff like that and offered support! I have found being a defence wife completely supportless so maybe I just don't know where to looK! Wow, going from defence wife to being a miners wife!! That would suck!! How are you doing now anyways? You were looking for a new house to rent weren't you?
I gald you got a little sleep, it makes all the difference, The FLO's are there to help you, they might even pay for the sleep school if you have to fly to brisbane.... I know what you mean about been a defence wife, its not like the movies is it...

I have stopped looking for houses for now, I still have 5 mths left on this lease and keep getting knocked back so I think it might be because of that, or it could be the 4 winkies...

I am have good days and bad ones, even though I have been on my own most of my married life its so very different to now know I am really on my own, that he is no longer there for me to reliey on, but I hope that things will start to get easier soon

Look at me, 2 days in a row

New Dawn: I'm in Melbourne too - Port Melbourne. But I'm harder to have around with my 4 year old. Would love to meet up though.
Well if your harder to hang out with because of a 4 yr old what am I with 4 winkies lol, I have a 4 yr old at home too, so it will be good for her to have someone to play with... If everyone comes over here I have a park within walking distance so if they get too much we could always walk up there, or we could all meet at a maccas have coffee and the older ones could play

New Dawn: Thurs sounds good for now. The glen is about 25 mins drive for me so manageable if Claire is behaving. Yay for PK sleeping for 4 hours!

Reading a really nice book now called 'The NO Cry sleep solution', just started but loving it and how it really hits on how I feel sometimes about sleep or rather the lack of. Hoping to pick up some tips on settling. Claire's just having her second nap today, 2 1/2 hrs in already, she's enjoying the air con I better go check on my washing, I think some of it might be in my neighbour's garden!
that wind was crazy wasnt it... nothing to what Carins is going to be getting soon though, let me know it the book works...

I will have to PM you all my address so we can catch up on thursday...

Well it was muggy today even for me... but we got though it ok... had a bit of sooky day today but trying to be strong and smile though it...

better go PK is wanting more Boobie juice...
