Jayne - I don't know if I am overly emotional at the moment but when I read that your man is coming back so much earlier I got all teary LOL and then I read your post today and it cracked me up hehehe I know what you mean about doubting your lil decisions with the kids when there's someone else around. I do that all the time too.

Michelle - it sounds like you're falling apart at the moment. When it rains it pours hey!! I hope you're feeling better.

Ryn - you asked about fur. Well my DS doesn't have too much ... never did, but my DD, now 2.5 was born hairy and still has some dark hair. Its not heavily matted or anything :P (other people probably wouldn't notice) but there are some fine dark hairs on her upper back and she definately needs some eyebrow pluckage LOL

Sleep update- All but DH came down with a cold and DS is no longer sleeping through the night He's suffering severe sniffles and has a cough at the same time as teething, poor thing. He's not a happy chappy. I tried adding the phone book under his mattress last night (thanks for the idea Tashie) but what did I find when I went back in to check on him? He was all curled up down the bottom of the bed. He wriggles about so much I never find him in the same spot so I don't know why I thought that would work but it was worth a shot. I think sometimes its good for your own sanity to know that you're doing all you can...

Whilst on the wriggling subject, does anyone use blankets with their lil ones? I just dress DS up in warmer clothes because I know he'll wriggle out from anything I put over him.

Happy Hump Day
