Brooke, dont know if you've ever watched super nanny, but I do like her, and I sit at the side of the cot, head facing the other way ( so no eye contact) and slowly move further away til after 15 mins or so I am out of the room. Maya the clever chick has figured out if she cries she gets mummy back!!!

Kate, good luck getting some shut eye!!

Beckles, I am a nurse too ( Div 2 only) Dion doesnt look remotely into waving, just thumping.

Bel, what time does it start?? can you just go late and put Coby to bed before you go??? Then leave MIL with him?? Maybe sugest some short imes first ( an hr tomorrow while you catch up on ironing?washing ?computer, whatever but, so that you're home, but staying back and observing??? And so MIL gets to know Coby's likes/dislikes??? My MIL has never babysat a minute in teh past 7 yrs, but not for the lack of being asked ( always has something better to do !!!)

Hayseed, I hope you get your holiday organised!!

Fletch, Lucky you that Zane's a laugher!! We have had a giggle out of Dion, but is a very rare thing!!!

WARNING.... As Beck said earlier slap face IS deadly to unborn bubs especially if mum contracts it before 20 weeks.... I was lucky enough, the twins got it when I was 17 weeks pg with Rianna, My Ob, did some tests and I had contracted it around week 15, I had weekly ultrasounds, as babe gets anaemia, and if not monitored can die. We were borderline for a few weeks ( I had to have daily US) and it was looking like we would need to go to Monash for in utero blood transfusions , but Rianna kicked it off, and managed to pull through on her own. Its a very scary time, so pg girls beware, and IF you're bubs get it warn any body you suspect could be pg, coz if they know the bubs will at least get monitored.

Sorry.just had to let you know of my experiences!!!

My *TTC* journey is going wonderful, thanks to you all for your concern LOL ( It consists of running the other way if DH is about, til he gets the snip, LOL ) Am on the injections, am hoping THIS will do the trick, Til snip, snip!!!!!

Love to all!!!
