now where was I?

ahhh....yes....Luey! Of course it all gets difficult when you aren't happy with the way things are but you don't know what else to try. You've just gotta try and pick and choose which bits of advice you are comfortable/happy with.

Mel, hi can't think of much to say as I usually speak to you the most! Hope James is keeping up his change in habits for you.

All-boys I haven't had any AF here to speak of. I have a Mirena in so had a fair bit of spotting but now I've had nothing for ages. I don't know if it's the BFing or the Mirena. I also have guilty mother days where i feel terrible for being angry with the kids because I'm tired. I've been making a real effort lately to be a lot calmer myself (I get a real temper with the kids!) and it seems to be going better. Ben especially is being a really angry little boy at times and me being angry back just isn't helping things only escalating them. How do you cope with the 4 kids? I'm still thinking I'd like another but I'm just not 100% sure yet.....

Catherine glad Flynn went well with his needles. We went to get Jake's done but he was too unwell. Glad Flynn is taking the bottle for you now, I don't think there's a problem propping the bottle up on pillows as long as you are always there to supervise . Did you go back to work? I was thinking about this the other day and I thought you said you went back for a couple of days a week?

Macca glad to hear all is well now in your camp. Sounds like a shocker of a week though! I LOVE the smooches too, Jake is much the same, it's just too cute! and Will with 4 teeth!! what a champ! i would have ditched one of the baptisms, it's all a bit much really!! It's ok to want to have guests there to witness the occasion but it loses the sentiment when it's all about the pressies!!

Laura glad to hear from you, I am thinking of you often! My best friend was telling me of a friend of hers who is doing it tough ATM. She has a 2yo not long diagnosed with Autism, a NB who has some issues with her legs and on top of it all she has PND also. Makes me think of you and how much tougher this whole mothering job is for you guys. I really think Mums with PND need a medal! I feel so honoured that you can and do let us in on it all and I just hope wel all help in some small way.

Hmm....who have I missed?? Reenie??? Where are you girl?

Ok I'm off, I've got all my work done for the night, about the get Chloe into bed (she slept this afternoon), do some nappy hunting (TOO addictive) and then hit the hay myself. I'm HOPING Jake will have a good night tonight
