Kel - I'm sorry that you are having troubles with Jesse - could he be having nightmares or something? Does he have a night light in his room? We just put one in A's room because he was waking up whenever the toilet light wasn't on - and would just scream!!! So he hasn't been screaming (still wakes up crying) but not screaming so I think its helping...

Mez - it is difficult, especially if you are worried about how the house is looking!! I tell ya what, if you want to keep it a clean house - don't have another child.. pmsl..... it is sooo hard to keep the place looking presentable with a destructive toddler on the loose - this is why I never invite people to my house cos it looks like a train wreck most of the time!!!!!! Do you have a sling that you can put Izzy in while doing some housework? Might help her sleep - or pop her in the pram and both go for a walk - if she's screaming its less loud outside than inside - just bounces off the walls and drives me crazy... (and wait till you have TWO screaming at you at the same time - now THAT'S fun.. LOL) Huge {hugs} for you babe... and get your DH to stay at home with her on the weekend, and you go out - do anything you want - by the time you get back he'll be saying, I so don't know how you can do this every day!!! My DH does that every sunday, watches both the kids and I go shopping - just groceries or whatever - but I'm gone for a good few hours so I get a break - and I get back to him pulling his hair out and screaming at DS usually ..pmsl...then he knows how bloody hard it is!!!!!!

Tan - sorry you guys are having a bit of a rough trot... me and Craig are fighting nearly every night - he is driving me insane with wanting to help (yes I have the opposite problem to everyone else!!) and i just want him to look after the kids most times so i can get in and do stuff because I'm much quicker than he is ... plus he usually wants to worry about feeding the dogs first before getting A his dinner - drives me nuts!!! I hope you guys work through it soon ...and Ash was unsettled?? I don't believe it.. lol... I p issed myself laughin at that text you sent me with her crying... absolutely cacked myself..

Jess - thats so funny what you do with Georgia - cos I do the same thing with A when he is chucking a tantie and I'm trying to distract him... LOL.....

Belle - i hope you enjoyed your scotch - that sounds like an awful day!!!! I favour malibu and soda water with a few pieces of lemon myself... but not for a while - on this diet again.. day three so far..

Sal - maybe she would like a hammock?? We have hired one - yes we haven't used it yet, bloody slack people - but I have heard its a good thing to get unsettled babies off to sleep - and for longer sleeps. Miss M usually cries when we put her in the bassinette - and yesterday she was so tired after our trip to the park she wouldn't stop screaming and i was patting her bum to try to get her off to sleep, Aricyn was outside screaming for me, and I said to her "well F*ck ya then" and walked off.. and she fell asleep.. pmsl... I think she just wanted her stupid old mother to leave her alone..

Tenny - we sorta were trying for a girl - we DTD on day 9 of my cycle, I O'd on day 14 and we were pregnant (of course we also DTD on day 16 - but must of already caught that little eggie!!) I was told to DTD every day from day 7 to day 11 of your cycle if you have a 14 day cycle and you will get a girl. Good luck!!!! I want a boy next time - so i'll be going after the 13th day of my cycle..

Well I've vacuumed the house this morning - yay for me - with A saying "again again" every time I turned the damn thing off.. lol.. he's making me do housework - oh no!!! He is happily watching the wiggles at the moment (yes, we've changed DVD about five times this morning - toy story, lilo & stitch, cars, then we watched abc kids for a while, now the wiggles are on... he did want brother bear on in between but I said NOOO.. not again!!)

Hmm.. well I suppose I should go get dressed!!! My mum is coming around today and I'm so very excited!!!!!! can't wait to see her!!!!! And I know how excited Aricyn is going to be.. ooh, gotta fly he is about to attack Miss M in the swing..!!!
