Em you crack me up! I think it's Justine's lack of talent that gets to me too.
My DH has a loud tv laugh habit too but we recently installed a door in the hallway which has made the world of difference to the noise levels at the bedroom end.

Mel, that must be hard with the cut in income - at least your kids aren't at the 'I want a playstation' age yet! (small consolation) Jack sounds like he's really talking well. We are only just getting 'mama' and 'dada' now which is cute to hear - this morning was the first time she called out to me from her cot instead of resorting to the cry. Thanks for letting me know about your murmur - I have decided to worry only if I have to (I'm trying to cut down on stress ) Jack must be a good version of the bouncing baby boy at 11kg! Autie is still only about 8kg though not skinny - go figure! How's the study going - haven't heard of that for a while?

Lis - Might it just be spotting from missing your pills? I'm not sure as I don't take the pill. Could be coincidence that it was after DTD? Is it a lot? Is it being pregnant you're worried about? If so, then maybe getting a doc appt would put your mind at ease all round. So many questions! Hope you sort it out today.

Jess - Autie has been eating less the last week or so but is chewing her finger a LOT so I'm thinking more teeth on the way. I've been giving her rusks as she seems to find them soothing (and eats a fair bit of it as well) We actually had her best night ever after saying goodbye to daddy last night (he leaves early in the morning so we pretend he is going just before bedtime) Not sure if it will start to click today but we'll see how tonight goes. It breaks your heart when they cry in their sleep huh? Maybe a dose of Panadol or Brauer's would help before he goes down. Hope you get some relief from your MS and it's good to hear you have a counsellor you like

Well off to get something done while the angel's sleeping I guess (or maybe just read my book... )
