Hi everyone

I have been trying to get in here for a few days and my computer has been running slow so I havent managed it til finally I got in today YAY!!!

I havent missed much which is good. I don't have heaps to read lol.

Sal - Great to hear that Miles is sleeping better. That's got to be a load off your mind and making things a bit easier for you.

Jillian - Yay for Immy getting into the solids. Kobi is still fumbling but getting more keen now. Before we know it they will all be chomping down on everything lol.

Misty - Great to see you. Glad you have interent back on and that we will see you more.

Ok well my update...sorry if it is long.

Firstly I applied for a job. It's just casual/part time work at Coles supermarket. There is a new one opening up near us. I need to do it for my own sanity and some extra cash. I am hoping to get night and weekend work but if I do need to work during the day I will restrict it to a few hours here and there. I am happy to put Kobi in care with someone if its now and then and only for a few short hours.
I have also been thinking alot about going back to school. I have for ages and have wanted to do Midwifery for the longest time. I have decided to bite the bullet and apply! I may not get in for a while or I might get right in..who knows but I am definitely keen. I am not sure whether I will start next year or the year after though. Its a 3 year course direct entry to Midwifery so I dont need to do nursing...unless I choose to do a double degree. I won't now..but may go back later and do nursing if I choose to. It's full time but I will probably only be at the uni maybe 15 hours a week and the rest will be study etc. I know someone who is doing Div 1 nursing and her full time hours are only 12 hours a week. So I assume it will be about the same.
The uni I am looking at have an open day on the 20th August so I am going to that but I will be taking a squiz at some other uni's too. I have until some time in September to apply for next year so have time to browse. Good thing is DH is supportive of me finding a career I am passionate about and knows it's something I want to do. He said he will support me in every way while I do it. So I am not getting to ahead of myself cos anything can happen in that time but I am ready to do something in my life thats different and follow my heart!

Now for Kobi's update. We have still got our appointment on Thusrday for the Sleep clinic but I am hoping by then it's just a formality. We have been CC since Thursday night and it's been going well. She still wakes but not as often and settles herself within 2-5 minutes. I feed her once in the early morning at around 4 or 5 and then not again til she wakes for the day. Its going pretty well so I am hoping that by the end of the week she is only waking once or twice if at all.
Her day sleeps are good now too and she is giving me 2-3 decent sleeps in the day. Usually at least an hour and a half in the morning..then the same in the mid avo maybe a bit less..and it's anywhere from 40 mins to an hour and a half in the late avo/early evening. Then she goes to bed at 8:30. So we appear to finally be getting there.
As with her solids...she is starting to get into them more. She still isn't used to the spoon but will get there in time. She is really liking her custards and doesnt mind her mixed vegies.

So all in all things are going well here. We are busy and have lots going on but for the most part everything is going well. I am still sleep deprived but not half as much as I was even a week or 2 ago!

Oh and Kobi has been waving too! If I say "Hi" to her and flap my arm up and down in a waving motion then she will copy me. I love these moments.

Ok better go. She is rolling around on the floor so I am going to go have a play with her before picking Tyra up.

Have a great day
