Hi all

Sooo much to catch up on, you all chatter too much!!

Ali, sounds like A was great for you last night, let's hope it continues! Might need to go look for Baby Bliss...

AJP - hope you didn't go too crazy at the party - it is so easy to spend more than you intend on the Wares of the Tupper!!!!!

Ellie, hope DD hasn't picked anything up from the fam.

Laura, yay for going to the gym! That's good work.

Shell, lol @ the selective hearing test!

Kaz - have fun with your friends!! So jealous of your 6hr stint. That is fantastic. The best Isabel has given us is 5hrs... not too bad.

Holly - I hear ya on wanting your baby to feel better. It is so hard when they are miserable. When Isabel is screaming on my shoulder, she takes a break and looks at me and looks so miserable... I just want to take all the pain away.

I started writing this post at about 9am... it is now 12.50pm... sigh!

Well after my glowing post about how good Isabel had been, the last few days she has been very unsettled during the day - yesterday she only slept for about two hours all up between 9am and 9pm.

My friend the MCHN tells me to be patient and that in "a few weeks" she will be a new baby. I know that this is probably one of the toughest patches (Det? AJP, shell? Correct me if I am wrong) - the lead up to the 6-8wk mark, but it is so hard when she just cries and cries and cries.

Yesterday was tough - I even put her in the car in the morning and then took her down the street in the pram in the arvo to try and settle her and she would only sleep for half an hour then wake and start crying again.

We had our usual Tuesday night gathering at our house and she cried the whole time, until about 9.30pm when she finally settled. Even over night she woke at about 2.45am and then didn't settle until close to 5am. I am exhausted today - thankfully DH has taken the day off work to do admin so he is relieving some of the pressure.

Its just a phase. This will pass.
