Hi Ladies,

SMYLIE _ What on earth are you giving that child to get 12 hours out of her? She is a freaking super star! You deserve more than a medal my friend! YAY for Jemima! Maybe she's done the catch up with the feeding for the growth spurt but now the 'growing' is happening. my MIL always goes on about they grow when they are sleeping?? I dunno? Oh yes, definitely no weight loss on birthday week, that goes without saying. I didn't weigh in last week because it coincided with Anzac Day. It's tomorrow but I don't think I have lost anything. It's nothign short of a miracle but I"m back in all my old jeans & things & my dad even commented that i have lost a lot of weight, but the scales are telling different stories I think! I really need to get some exercise in but Claudia has taken a dislike to the pram atm.

RYN _ Woo Hoo for DH, lets keep fingers crossed! Let us know how it goes! How is the delightful Liebling today?

KRISTY _ OMG you were in Perth? Where are you usually! I would have loved to have met you! Yes, I used to be a bit lax on the cleaning but since I was pregnant with Claudia I have turned into a cleanliness freak. Not that the house was ever dirty, but used to get a bit untidy towards the end of the week but now I"m like a ....... gosh, I don't even know! It's good though, because I never wake up & think 'holy hell where am I going to start?'. I actually have a roster of things I HAVE to do each day & it works for me.

ME _ We had an awful day yesterday. Took Jessica to playgroup for the first time in the morning, that was great, Claudia was up & down like a yoyo but I could deal with that. Then she decided she would fall asleep on me but not stay asleep in her cot when we got home so by the end of the day with putting her down & her waking up again, she was absolutely exhausted & then at 7:30 she screamed the freaking house down, I was a nervous wreck, she's never done that before, so she finally fell asleep for 10 minutes, woke up, made a rotten nappy, had a 5 minute feed & I put her back to bed at 9:05pm & she slept until 5:15am! I couldn't believe it. She was back in bed at 6am & woke up at 8:40am for the day. Jess had swimming lessons today so with the big sleep overnight I expressed 150mL for her & she wouldn't touch the bottle for my mum, she cried & cried until I got home. Had a feed, went to sleep for 20 minutes, played a bit, done another massive nappy, had another feed & then put herself to sleep in her cot! Very impressive. I haven't got more than 30 minutes sleep at a time out of her during the day for the past week, I hope that improves soon!

Thank goodness for slow cookers, I have been makign dinner almost each night in the slow cooker because this week has been so hectic!
