Hi everyone, all is well with our little family. Ewan is getting over a nasty cold and still has a cough so no playgroup for us this week. I think he's getting a bit of "cabin fever" as he really loves his Tuesday and Wednesday running around with the other kidlets. He is getting a molar too which means his sleep has been a bit more erratic (if this is possible) than usual. I know it hurts him and he has a very sore little mouth but sometimes I'm so desperate for sleep I just wished he would be quiet and sleep, but apart from 1 bottle overnight, a quick cuddle from Mummy or Dadddy for his other wake up calls and he's OK and back in his cot asleep.

Had my glucose test and it was fine so that's great. My Mum has insulin dependant diabetes so I do worry about it a bit but it's all good.

My OB is happy with how things are going, I feel HUUUGE but my measurements are almost spot on, I saw her last Friday when I was 26w 2 days and measured just on 27 so my hugeness is all in my head!

Jen - how do you find having a newborn with a toddler? Any tips on timing/routines? My baby bear has been on a relatively strict bedtime routine for ages now and I don't want o break it if possible. He has dinner at 5.30, his bath at 7, bottle at 7.30 and into bed. He goes straight to sleep by himself so we have no settling issues I'd just like to keep him on his bedtime routine if possible. I've forgotten what times he used to go to bed when he was a newby. Perhaps I'll try and get the bub into bed earlier, it's just that my DH doesn't normally get home from work until 7ish so he wouldn't be able to help much. He does do Ewans bath, bottle and bed every night now (he says it's Daddy time and I'm to stay away!) so not sure how to swing getting both fed, bathed and into bed. I do like to give a bath beore bed as it relaxes bub and helps them sleep.

Oh well, we'll get it sorted I guess, we have to we've got no choice!

Better fly, I'm getting hungry...again.......
