Mmmm, Bec, Soup sounds good. I really want to make some vege soup but haven't had the time. I had heard that about the 6-8 weeks thing as well. She has been much better today thank goodness. I shouldn't complain either as she is generally good, but it is hard. Although I was thinking today that even though she had been unsettled throughout the day and feeding regularly, she still kept up with the 6 hours sleep overnight, I am lucky. We have been out for dinner with grace a number of times and amazingly, every time, she has been a perfect angel. She feeds beautifully when we are out, no fussing, then sleeps like an angel. Everytime we go out. Maybe she knows we're out and she needs to be on her best behaviour! I suppose if she wasn't like this we wouldn't have gone out so much either. You may be suprised, S may be an angel when you are out too. I'm glad the parents group was ok and the mums seemed ok. That video sounds horrid. there is absolutely no way that I could leave grace to cry for 10 minutes either. I'm glad it's not just me, I have been eating terrible too, craving sweet things all the time. I wish I was 65kgs, not even close! I have given myself 6 months to a year to lose the weight, slowly but surely yeah?

Jessica - I hear you. Sometimes I feel like that too which is bizarre because I don't really want to go back to work as there is no way that I could leave her, but sometimes I think it was easier and less tiring. Someone asked me if i was loving motherhood. I honestly didn't know what to say. I love Grace and I love being a mother but it is so tiring and demanding, I do love it when I get a break.

Savina - you are in a very demanding position. You can vent as much as you want in here. If you can't vent here where can you vent?

Well, just wanted to say hi. Sounds like we are all going through similar things at the moment. Heres to good, sleeping, happy babies!
