Hey Kim...
did you only do a day clinic at sleep school? It does help... but the residential stay is the best thing ever! So if you still have trouble with Darcy down the track - insist on a residential stay!

The techniques can be a bit hard at first... especially if you're used to attending to every cry. But it doesn't take long for babies to work out that sleep is far preferable to crying! Just be consistant, and it will reward you.

Hope you can work things out with Cam.... and he makes the changes needed to make you a happy family. No doubt some sleep and getting over the PND will help you all as well. If you're feeling depressed, sometimes it might look easier to walk away from the marriage. But you might feel differently if all factors were improved. Good luck with it - whatever you decide.

Hey Sheree - hope you're feeling good. It was great to catch up with you on MSN the other night... or was that day? I have no idea at the moment.

Vic - it sounds like your in-laws have some 'issues'. When your SD turns into a nightmare teenager - they might turn to your kids for solace? but what they are doing is just RUDE!

Sara - hope you're back is feeling better... and the pregnancy isn't giving you a hard time.

I took Shaun to the day centre today as Santa was coming. He had a "santa's little helper" outfit on with a santa hat... and I got some good photos before santa arrived. But just as he arrived, my camera decided to play up. The memory card to be more specfic. It's a 4 gig card and can take 2,500 poster size photos... thankfully I had downloaded all the old photos that were on it. And all the photos I took pre-santa worked out as well. But I got no santa shots
But the lovely people at the day care bought him an alphabet wood jigsaw! They are so sweet.

Now I'll have to take shaun to a shopping centre and get a decent photo of him with Santa.

My dad went in for surgery at 9.40am - and it's now 2.15pm and he's still not out. I'm just waiting to hear from my step-mum. She must be going nuts waiting at the hospital. He had some problem with his intestine, so they are cutting a part of it out. I'm sure he'll be fine... but I don't think he'll be home for christmas day.

Well, better do some work whilst the angel is asleep....

talk soon,
Jodie
