Sheree... it's so good to hear you sound so happy. Good boy Lachie!

and Adam for your first tooth!! I wish Shauns teeth would come through.

Kim :hugs: to you. It must be bad enough with Darcy's sleep problems, but life must be hell if you're having marriage problems as well. I hope that "it's just a phase" - and that Cam gets some help. I reckon the first six months can be hell on a relationship, but then the kids do little things (like talk, walk etc) - and you forget all the crap that you've been through. I really hope you can work it out. You've been through enough. Good that Cam is going to sleep school with you. I insisted that my DH came with me (for the residential stay) - as it was pointless that I learn and not him. He was reluctant at first, but it wasn't too bad. In the end it was like staying in a hotel - they made our meals, we had a room that looked just like a hotel room! And the bonus for us - it was only 5 minutes from our home!

I wrapped up all the Xmas presents last night and was glad that was done! I'm yet to get a Santa photo with Shaun. The one at our shopping centre looks really dodgy! He's skinny, and he doesn't hold the kids. He put a 7 month old on the end of his bony knees as if he had germs. I've been recommended other santas... so we'll have to check them out during the week. And on Tuesday my occassional day care centre has a santa coming and that will be free... they said to make sure I bring my camera! I'm looking forward to that!

Well... I'm going to be working for three nights next week. Will feel a bit strange because I haven't worked in my salon for over a year! On Friday night is the Xmas party for my husbands work. Free drinks & dinner... but I have to come from work so I'll probably drive home :frown: Bought a new dress & some shoes. Actually bought 4 pair of shoes! (my mum said she'll pay for some as a Xmas present!). I've discovered my feet have gone from size 7 (pre-pregnancy) to size 9 now!!!! :eek: No wonder I couldn't get into any of my old shoes!
