Hi everyone

You probably all thought I had gone & left you all. Sorry, I have been lurking occasionally and reading the email updates.

Big Hugs for Jo and Caleb. Sorry to hear about your problems but it sounds like the saying 'mother knows best' was spot on here. Hoping things are going better for you both now. You just feel it when something isn't right don't you.

Bon - same for you and Nixon, big hugs. Hoping the losec does the trick, good luck with DH on night shift. My DH is too but I've come to stay with my parents for a few reasons I'll elaborate on further on....

Ren - extremely envious of the Cairns trip but good on you. Hope you all have a lovely time. I was thinking the other day & you will be off to London soon won't you?!?! So fantastic. Was looking at Ava's pics on fb, she's such a sweetie.

runner - Happy Easter to you too. I get Sam's poo stains out of his cloth nappies by leaving them in direct sunlight (after they've gone thu machine on rise cycle then wash cycle). The sunlight seems to bleech them.

I seemed to do something to my shoulder late last week and it's only just getting better now. So painful, I could barely move which made looking after Sam very difficult. And each morning I would wake up it would cramp up and take me 20 minutes to get out of bed. Lucky DH has been home but is now on night shift so am staying with my parents for a bit of extra help. Does help that we are also 2 weeks away from moving into our new home so we've been doing lots and lots of packing. Will be worth it tho. Sam's christening not far away now, I've made some lovely plans so it should be a really special day - we're really looking forward to it.

Sam's still sleeping well. Most nights average at least 7.5-10hr sleep (non-stop). We've got a bit of cradle cap at the moment too but the good old glycerine & sorbelene mixture is clearing that up nicely. Can't believe he'll be 4 months old next weekend.

We had to see a paed physio last week because Sam is favouring one side of his head. They aren't really that concerned about the 'flat head' cause that will sort itself out within the next few months but more that he won't be able to turn his neck the other way properly. We've got a few exercise to do but is hard to get a nearly 4 month old to do neck exercises without resisting a little. Anyway - one can only do their best.

gypsy - that is great you were able to have a night out & Max was happy. Sounds like a good night.

Seeing as am staying with Mum I've decided to start sewing. I'm making a bag which will be a toy/nappy bag. i already have one but we always take so much stuff with us I needed another. Spotlight had some gorgeous fabrics on sale so I bought some. Made a practice one tonight and am quite happy with myself.... so far.

Anyway - big hello to everyone else. Big Hugs and hope you all have a happy & safe Easter.

plc - always thinking of you. Hope you and the family are all doing well.
