Kim – I don’t think it’s mean at all to sneak Darcy into your bed and make her go back to sleep! She wouldn’t sleep if she didn’t want to, would she? They never bloody do! And it’s so nice to snuggle. Sorry DH is being a bit of a pain too. Hope you guys sort things out soon. Funny that he complains that she cries too loud and then doesn’t hear her at night… Ok, answers to your questions… we had to wean Charlie off wrapping from about 5 months. We stopped wrapping one arm, then both arms, then only wrapped his legs loosely – eventually we got him out of it. Periods can come back anytime – depends on the person. What is post-natal eclampsia? I haven’t heard of that. I hope you’re ok! I had the same problem with the J and J stuff – smells so nice but no one except Tom can use it, and boys don’t usually like that kind of stuff. I’m sure someone will be happy to take it off your hands. Have a great time away too.

Ange – sorry to hear things are tough for you at the moment. It does all get a bit overwhelming at times. Just try to grab some sleep when you can and remember it won’t last forever. If DH thinks you’re being ‘lazy’ through the day, I suggest leaving Katerina alone with him all day on the weekend sometime – I promise he’ll never question what you do through the day again!

Vic – I’m glad you’re Mrs Advice Lady too – then I don’t feel so bad! I know it must be frustrating, but Mel sounds very funny throwing things out of the cot. Bet it’s not funny to be there though! Hope you found a new computer – it’s so annoying when they don’t work.

Karen – Yay for Phoebe! Wow, I really hope that this sleeping trend continues. That book sounds really good too – might have to get it myself.

Shan – welcome back! Glad to hear that things are going well. Hope DD enjoys the swimming lessons – I really need to start taking Charlie. Will go once I get my pre-pg body back. I had just got to a stage where I felt ready to buy size 10 togs and then I got pg with Toby, so I haven’t been swimming for soooo long! Re: circumcision – we haven’t got our boys done because it doesn’t seem necessary to us. DH hasn’t been done – I suppose it’s whatever you’re used to, isn’t it? I know some people say it’s unhygienic to not have them done, but I think as long as you teach them how to wash properly it doesn’t matter. I think it’s a personal choice though, so get all the info and talk about it with DH to make up your own mind. Don’t let anyone bully you either way – it’s your decision. I suppose it’s partly a generational thing too – most boys of our generation were done but these days it seems that it’s not mandatory – anything goes.

Hello to all the lovely ladies who haven't written in today too... hope you're all enjoying your bubbas.

Not much to report. Had a lovely sleep with Toby this afternoon – bugger I don’t get to do it more often. I feel like I don’t get much time to spend doing anything nice with either of the kids at the moment but when DH starts holidays on Friday I will endeavour to have more one on one time with them. And with DH too – I feel like I haven’t been able to have a proper conversation with him for weeks! Ah, it’s all fun, isn’t it? Went for a big walk and took Charlie to the park today – it felt really good to get out of the house. It’s good to feel good again – I feel less tired and more energetic than I did when I was pg! Weird, hey?

Anyway, almost time for LOST and snuggling on the couch with DH. Have a lovely Friday, everyone.
