Laura - don't feel guilty about your posts. You have a lot on.

tarkine - Hi!!

Mhami - I posted something to you in the other tread.

Nai - At least she was happy when awake.

kaz - great that you joined WW. I have been going to the gym. Gotta lose this belly, especially as I have a high school reunion at the end of May. Don't want everyone to say "ohh, she has stacked on the weight."

Shell - They would ahve said something to you if they don;t think she has put on enought weight. I am sue that everything is fine. I hope she is better for you tonight. i agree. A mothers day dinner sounds like a good idea. in fact, I am going to suggest to Dh that we do the same and get SIL and MIL to come over to have the kids for a bit.

Det - Enjoy your weekend away. I hoe your Nan is thrilled to see you.

Ali - I hpe that you get a better night tonight.

Holly - I am glad that MIL stays once a week to give you a break. Esp as you would basically be doing the shocking nights on your own as DP works.

SJ - Of course your DD forgives you! She won't even remember. You can't help her crying in the car. Especially if you need to go somewhere. As cruel as it sometimes seems, I let DD cry in the car, as I can't really stop and console her while driving. In saying that, she hasn't really ever got really hysterical. Just protest crying. She will get used to it.

Miss E hada 2 hour sleep this morning. Woo hoo for us! Then we went into the city and had a great time. She got a little cranky at one stage, but for the most part was really good. Then I caught the train home with both kids by myself at peak hour. Crazy I know. E was crying a little. Not too loud though, and a woman kept giving me dirty looks, so I turned to her and said "well you are just going to have to put up with it. I can't force her to be quiet!!" That and J was jumping around, over tired, but still well behaved. It was pouring when I got off, and I had to run home to keep us as dry as possible. E was all covered in, but J got a little wet. we only live about 200 metres from the station though. Bathed both kids together, and had J in bed by 7, and E by 8:30. I think I am in for a rough night though, as she hasn't fed too well all day, so will prob want to make up for it in the night. DH probably won't get home till the last train tonight as he has gone to the footy.

My sister bought me something called a milk band that you wear on your wrist. Been using it for about a week now. I really liek it as itmeans you know what time you last fed, and what side. I was hopeless at remembering which side I started on at the last feed. She said it was about $5. They look lie those bands that chariities sell. Flat rubber material.
