Rachel - sorry to read about the difficulty Blake has in settling himself. We too have had a rough time with Al from the start. Really only been the past few weeks where I have forced myself not to jump up when he cries during the night. And much to my surprise he is managing to re-settle himself. Not every time, but its much better than he would have been able to do a few months ago. I hope things improve there before December and you don't need to use the sleep school for anything but some additional rest time for you.

Hay - glad your feeling better. Whats Pup up to these days? Got him working on the farm yet?

Bec, Kate, Gemma - I'm jealous. Did the kids have fun too?

Vanita - good that the orchidectomy can wait - lets hope that is something that sorts itself out naturally. Poor little love on the puffer.

Hi Gemma and Heather and Brooke!

Still no news here on the house front. Saw a few options this week, but nothing worthwhile unfortunately.
I am nervous about the pregnancy, but have only to wait until next week and will be able to see if its ok on the scan.
Al's excema (sp?) is better on his face, but I noticed a new little red patch on his leg tonight. I hope its not bloody excema too!!!
