I found a gadgit that I wanna get. It's a digital timer that has 4 buttons. ONe to count feeds, one to count nappy changes, one to count sleep time and one miscellanious buttons to time whatever you want. I'm gonna get one on Wednesday. Also, I've been reading reviews on heaps of monitors and I think I've decided what I'm gonna get. Also getting that on Wed.

kitty - oh hun, you need big hugs :hugs:, im so sorry you hardly slept. you're at 6 weeks, and i know everyone says this, but things are getting easier at 11 weeks than it did at the start. im not sure if it's they are better, you understand them better or you get used to it, all of it. they start to sleep a bit longer too. tho then they suddenly change. lakshman has been sleeping well lately and now he's back to waking up in the middle of the night.
i know what you mean about comparing.. it's hard not too. i know babies younger than lakshman lifting their heads really well, and he doesnt do it quite as well and i get down. and the fact that everyone keeps saying he's tiny for his age, really gets me down.
all of us as mums want our babies to be the best, as Bron said earlier they do catch up and they will do somethings better than other babies and somethings not. i have to remember that too.

i was going to say something to trina but forgot.. oh, i hope you get to go to a nice, black tie thingie sometime.. and i was going to say something else but forgot again.

time for beddy byes.. poopy was feeling abit hot, i gave hims some baby panadol. he's grizzly and crying.. i've been making up silly songs to cheer him up, but he obviously doesnt understand!

Kitty You poor thing. I have had a very hard week and last night I just couldn't cope. I can totally sympathise with you. Have you got enough support? I saw my GP today and she said it is really important (for your sanity) to get some time to yourself. Even if it is just a couple of hours away from bub. It doesn't make you a bad mum, it will make you revitalised to continue to cope. Are you able to express and leave him with DH while you go and have a coffee or something? Hope this is helpful

It's recommended no head coverings in bed due to sids risk. I wrap Flynn at night, but not during the day and his hands are often like ice, I hate when he touches me when I am feeding him, so cold!!!
