Mel, I have two Baby Beehinds AIOs. Just arrived today, though I haven't used them yet. Which leads me to...
Em, I need some more advice. I tried them on Autie (medium because she is still under 11kg) but they seem a little too low in the front (about inch and half under her belly button) Does this seem right to you? I'm thinking I should send them back and get large even though they fit ok everywhere else. What do you think? Sorry to hear you're having a bad day These can be trying times huh? I haven't had aggression issues with Autie touch wood, but she does have tannies when she doesn't get her own way sometimes. So far distraction is working most of the time - 'No, you just can't have/do that... but you can do/have this instead'. I know it's not quite the same as the problems you're having but I will think on it some more as I don't have long to post atm. How is Tom doing?
Jan, how exciting to have a venue picked! I think you're being most sensible in you're relaxed approach to it all. After all, it's meant to be fun not a chore. I like your song choice too - more fun! I walked down the aisle to Enya's 'May It Be' and our wedding dance was Metallica's 'Nothing Else Matters' - two different ends of the spectrum! LOL All Dan's mates were congratulating him on his ability to get some Metallica in there, but in actual fact, it was my idea (I guess I don't seem the type to go for that genre, but I'm pretty eclectic) So great that Liam is enjoying care, do you feel really comfy with the teachers in his room too?
Megan, had any luck with the day sleeps? BTW, I love 'Islands in the Stream'!
Raels, hope you feel like jumping in with us again soon, even if only a short one. Personals not required...LOL
Hi everyone else. Hope you are all having a happy, peaceful day.
Sach - i would probably upsize. i get large for Tom even though he is still under 11kg too. I always found with any nappy - cloth or disposable - we needed to get up one.
Only quick post - 2 seconds of sanity! Will try to come back later
Evening ladies Just a quick post i will be back, just wanted to let you know its me Sarah, I have changed user names, I will be back hopefully soon to do personals
I will try and get back and do a proper post soon.....need to get back to reality sooner or later. Things are hard, so damn hard but I keep telling myself that worse things could happen, and I am not the only person to go through this sort of thing.
Just wanted to say re the bbh's - go large Sasha. I don't know how much Oliver weighs but I doubt he would even be 10kgs. I bought a stack of mediums and he has nearly outgrown them. The large are a little bulky on him but they fit better than the mediums. I love my mcn's!!!
Super quick while cooking tea - DH has been down tending to his beloved wicket so to punish him I told him we are having ham steaks for tea which he hates. I have really crumbed some veal snitchel (how do you spell it??) but i'm not going to tell him that. Evil..
Megan - the thread on Tom is in the Baby and Toddler general discussion under the title Discipline. Jan's advice is fantastic. Tom's hiting/biting seems to come out too when he is over excited or tired. Today was the first real proper aggressive go. Thankfully there was no more attempts to hit or bite for the rest of the day. The only tip I have regarding saying no is I find saying "Tom no" rather than just "no" works a little better because he seems to realise I am talking to him. Not always though. That tends to be for touching things, rather than his agro sessions

Thanks for the advice guys. I will return the nappies asap - so disappointed I can't get right into it!
Raels. Wish I could do something to help. Do you have any family and friends close by for support? Feel free to let the story out here if that helps at all, or PM or don't even think about it if that's better.
Megan, sorry but LOL at your baby-hicky! Don't you just love swimming for giving good sleep? The nappy talk IS confusing for sure. It definitely seemed like another language to me until I started doing a little research into it. I still glaze over a bit when I'm reading about it all sometimes...
Em - You sound like a lovely wife dealing well with all the cricketing! It is so hard when you dont get much of a break even if we do love our little cherubs time away from them is also bliss!! DH is constantly building our house, which obviously i cant complain about but oh to shop without Lucas!! Which cricket club does he play for? No news re my emotional state!! I think i am just needing a break atm and i dont know i think you just get more emotional in general once you have a baby. We will actually start trying again next year though....scares the hell out of me, but we will!! By the way what was the advice on the time out/discipline? Lucas seems to bite when he is over tired. The little bugger dit me the day before my brothers wedding so i had a nice hicky on my shoulder for it. Looked like a tart! He is generally not really aggressive but god he will not get the hang of the word "no"... does my head in when he does the same things over and over that he is not allowed to do!!
Sacha - The day sleeps are still unpredictable but i think i just have to live with it. Most of the time its a bit over an hour and usually after swimming i get 2! Woo hoo! Still doesnt seem enough for his age but he is fine with it so i guess i should be. All your nappy talk sounds very confusing.
