Vic – it was me who was talking about Ikea. I don’t think I’ll be going over there in a hurry, but if I happen to anytime soon I’ll certainly let you know. It’s about 40 minutes from me too, so I’ll probably only go there if I need anything particular.

Lea – LOL I wasn’t meaning tears as in crying, I was meaning tears as in ‘down there’ tears! I wish it was just crying tears! That’s amazing that Em slept for seven hours! I’m jealous! Hope it continues. Re: sniffly nose… Euky Bear Rub is really good, as Vic said. If it gets really really bad, you might like to try some saline spray (Fess is a good brand) but I’m not sure how old Em should be before you give it to him.

Shazz – Poor little Ryan! I wonder what was wrong? Although four hours of sleep in one hit sounds amazing right now. Hope he’s feeling better today.

Kim – oops, you mentioned Fess too. Silly me. How is your little darling going today? Hope the monster phase is short lived for you.

Had a bad couple of nights here. The first night home Toby woke every 1.5 – 2 hours, but went straight back to sleep after 10-15 minutes of feeding (I’m a cow!), but the last two nights he’s been up for hours and we caved and had him sleep in our bed. Last night DH had the four day blues (weird, I know)… he’s feeling really down because he hasn’t had a chance to bond with Toby yet. He bonded with Charlie straight away but he’s been so filled with worry about things regarding the birth and how I’m going to cope and how Charlie was going to react that he hasn’t had time to enjoy it yet. I felt so sorry for him when he told me (of course, he felt even worse when we were talking about it at 3 am when we were so tired!), but he’s feeling better about things today. He’s had more of a chance to spend time with Toby today and I think that’s made all the difference. Has anyone else’s DH had the same problem?

I know I should be sleeping now (both my boys are asleep) but I gave myself a facial instead and I feel great now. Early night tonight, and, if need be, a gorgeous boy in my bed (but only until Thursday night when the MCHN comes and gives us some tips) and I’m sure all will be well.

Anyway, hope you’re all having a lovely day with your little men/ladies.
