Howdy girls - Flynn is having his first real "unsettled" afternoon - he doesn't want to go to sleep (hasn't slept much today - I went to a crybaby session at the Nova in Carlton to see "Jindabyne" so he only catnapped). So he's here on my lap wathcing me type.

CeeCee your DH sounds wonderful! Not that I can complain about mine, but yours is especially good!

Bath, I do agree with what you say though about housework - women do need to be careful of the whole "I go out to work all day" thing - working full time when your wife is home with an unsettled baby is far easier. That said, I do think my life is easier now than when I was working (I did really long hours and it was quite a stressful job at times) but that's because I have an "easy" baby. Seriously, today is the first time he has been really cranky, and even that said he is pretty content here on my lap sucking his dummy.

Dee, I really think you need to do what is best for you and your bubba - I can't imagine how hard it must be for you but I can tell you there is no way any sane, considerate and loving relative/friend/person would criticise you for not wanting to have your unsettled but roughed up and made even more cranky. It's just my opinion, so take it with a pinch of salt, but you gotta do what's right for yoy!

Happy birthday Jo - what a good girl you have!! Welcome Alicia !! Simone, that is so impressive about the roll - Flynn is such a boofer I think he will be ages off rolling

Nickers I will email you today.

gotta go - Flynn is getting bored with this lap thing - keeps arching his back and sliding around

ciao bellas
