hi everyone - so sorry for being rubbish these days, I just don't really get a chance to get on here anymore. Larissa is sleeping so well over night! We got until 8.30 the other night! Yesterday she had her immunisation so has been a bit off since then. Today we had our first mothers group - it was good but there was 11 mothers so was a bit to busy to make any fast friends. All the people are really friendly so that was good.

I've got a new job - working as a supervisor at Gloria Jeans 2 minutes from the house! My dps sister works there so I just went and spoke to the franchisee yesterday and said I'd be interested in any work he can offer and he said he'd make me a supervisor. I think its because a little older than most of the girls that work there but its good news. I start in 2 weeks time. DP got offered a new job yesterday too, working for centrelink, He had applied for a similar job just after we had Larissa but didn't get it due to them cutting the number of positions available but they called him back when they had some more available. He's over the moon - he really hated working for BigPond! He called to resign and they said not to go in unless he wants to work for them in the future so means he's home for the next week and a half.

I still don't think I've had my AF. I stopped bleeding for a little while, maybe about 3-4 weeks after the birth but it came back and hasnt stopped now for maybe 3 weeks. I had the mirena inserted last week and since then I have had awful stomach cramps, not sure if theyre period pain or just my bodys reaction to the UID. The bleeding is pretty nasty at the moment, so heavy and thick, similar to how it was after the birth just without the big clots. My Doc is giving me until early next week to stop bleeding and then she's going to try and work out whats going on.

Kim- did you not have AF at all between your girls? We were having unprotected sex when my bleeding had slowed right down, the last time was when larissa was about 6 weeks!

Amanda, when we put Larissa to bed asleep she usually wakes up and just puts her self back to sleep, sometimes she self settles when shes awake but not all the time. She's still in the habit of falling asleep while im bfing her so shes usually asleep when she does into bed. I'm looking forward to mothers group next week and learning some more settling techniques!

Hope everyone is well, and I apologise in advance if its another month before I get on!
