Veronica - i am having the exact same problem at the moment. The last few nights Lucas refuses to sleep between the last two feeds anywhere but my arms and he has lost the plot with falling to sleep on his own, but if i rock him to sleep when i put him down he wakes up anyway. I always have that voice in my head saying "don't pick him up, he'll get used to it, don't rock him to sleep he will expect it", but its a catch 22 cos if you don't pick them up and put them to sleep they scream and dont sleep and end up grumpy as ever. I agree with the ARGH! Sometimes i think we just have to do what works and worry about it later if it becomes a problem but it is easier said than done!!

Nicky - good luck with the teething!

Sacha - good luck with the rolling!

Mel - I agree with netball, its ruined me! Hope you are feeling ok and i am sorry you are missing DH so much!

Jem - hope the lunch with your mum goes ok!

Well i am having one of those mornings...the more you need your baby to sleep because you are going out and don't want them to be grumpy, the less they do!

Happy voting!

Hi all

V with the lump I have had what feels like hard sections and they can be really noticible when you bump your boobs. xavier kicks mine while on the change table ('cause i'm short) and it kills. I give my boobs a good rub at least once everyday. If I find anything like that I make sure that I feed xavier on that side first, and really make sure he empties it. if the lump didn't dissapear quickly I would go to the doc, but I haven't had to do that yet.

Em, I think it would be hard to work in the next room. Just think everytime you heard your bub cry you would want to comfort them because you know just how to do it perfectly, but you wouldn't be able to. I'd probably start leaking or crying or something then.

Raels, Until I had Xavier I never considered the time you have to decide to have no more children. I'm now starting to realise that it will be a very difficult decision. I would love more kids and I only hope that the decision of the last baby isn't too hard. I often forget just how good xaviers sleeping is. but the days do sometimes get long. Today was a "no sleeping mummy!" day.

Mel, oh Cmaelias. I hope you have a water takn so you can keep them alive. Very thirsty plants and they like a partly shady spot. They will look lovley once grown though. Hope your foots healing well.

Sasha, I don't know. I'm sure it won't be long before she's a champion roller. So try not to stress, although it's very hard not too.


Nicki, Lach could have been having teething symptoms for weeks, that might explain his fussy eating. if he's jaw hurt iykwim. Hopefully he will get his teeth and return to your happy go lucky boy again.

V lol on voting on sunday.

Tracey, thanks. looks like I'm just going to have to rpovide extra everyday, but because it's a child care centre i will have to provide it all defrosted. How old wa indah at the time? I will have to start recording our feed times i think and work out what he's doing now. That might help me understand how much he needs each day, then i can plus 1 feed.

Jan, I here you, i'm still loooking for that little key that you turn in their back like the educational ones the use at schools, that fixes everything that little key.
Hey seriously though I'd be happy with a mute button, have you tried a universal remote

Well i;m tired, but i've been feeling a little like an insomniac latley. having trouble getting to sleep, and then waking up really early. Peeved with nathan at the moment. I think it's because i don't see him all day and when he does come home he sits and plays on his computer. Seriously the game he plays is as boring as all hell, can't he just make conversation etc. doesn't he realise i'm stuck at home everyday with a 3 month old to speak to and need to live vicariously through his day to day goings on.

anywho, gotta go, got a craving for orange drink (the stuff that's all watered down). :lol; I have more cravings when I'm not pg.

night all

happy election day!!
