hi ladies,

how's it going this morning?

i am sooo tired - Jelly usually lets me sleep in til 9 o'clock in the mornings (after keeping me up all night), but this morning she decided she wanted to be up at 7! she wasn't hungery, didn't need a nappy change - just wanted to get up!! she is never just be content to lay down when she is awake, she always needs to be held upright and cuddled.

mum and dad laugh at me saying that i managed to get a child just like i was.

i am worried that i might be starting bad habits co-seleeping with her while DH is away. because when he comes back to canberra with all our stuff, jelly will have to go back in the basinet (DH is a heavy sleeper who has on occasion squashed our cats in the middle of the night and failed to wake up); and yet for the last two weeks she has been able to sleep in bed with me - which lets face it, is half her life. i am probably stressing about nothing - sleep deprivation does that to me.

is anyone elses baby addicted to the dummy? Jelly loves hers - the only time she is happy to have it taken out is at feed time. i am happy enough with this ( not worried about her having it) but my mum will take it out of her mouth whenever she can - even if this means jelly spends the whole time crying. mum's can drive you crazy cann't they. she would never actually tell me how to raise my child (she doesn't have a death wish), but she is very intent on doing things her way whenever she can. for the most part i just let her - i mean it is nothing dramatic, but i cann't wait until this weekend when we move into our own place.

gosh i think i am rambling - sorry i'm tired (did i mention that?) i'll stop now.
