sheree - I am 5 foot10 so its not like im tiny, didn't have any trouble getting him out at all, he was perfectly sized to come out of me i reckon, no squashed up face or funny shaped head or forceps or vaccuum, i was very lucky indeed!(took a hell of a lot of pushing though LOL!!!) Hope he sorts out his sleeps quickly for you. Woohoo on lachlan's big sleep this afternoon!! I really have no set time for Archie's day sleep, sometimes hes in bed at 10:30 for a few hours, sometimes he's in bed at 1:00. I just go by his tired cues, depends on his mood, when he gets up. Sory wish i could be more help, but Archie has never been one to stick to a strict time routine. If it makes you feel any better Archie hardly ate any of his, hasn't eaten much the last couple of days cause of teething i reckon. Oh sheree i really cant bef=gin to imagine how frustrating it must be to have him constantly refuse food, you'll be laughing about this one day when you are watching your 16 year old clean out the kitchen panrty and fridge!

nat - thanks for the encouragement to study, i am definately going to take warning on board, maybe i'll start with a TAFE course while Archie is younger and get back into the swing of studying slowly. Just got into contact with the manager fo our UniSA campus and she mentioned a preparatory course that goes for a year helping you to get back into the swing of study at uni level and raise your confidence, keen to hear more about it. Good on you for having lots of move motivation, wont be long and you'll be all settled in the new place.

leanne - sorry to hear that work is extra stressful atm. big hugs

chrsitine - your house is full of princesses atm! You all must feel great tonight.

jodie - wow so much happening in your life atm. Firstly Big congratulations on the sale of the salon finally! woohoo at moving into the new place. i can ust imagine the hapy look on Shauns face when he discovered he could et out of bed by himself, too cute. Great that your mums visit wasn't quite as bad as anticipated.

Another 2 new words for Archie tonight "deeda" heater and "days" James (my sister's boyfriend) Archie idolises him!

I feel like we finaly have a major breakthrough something i have been looking forward to since Archie was a newborn, he can finally tell us what is hurting him, YAY, makes life SOOOO much easier! Last couple of days he has been sooking and pointing to his gum where a new tooth is breaking through, this afternoon he even walked over to the medicine cabinet and pointed up asking for sedalotion to numb his gum.

sara - we posted at the same time. I am teary eyed for you! how precious to hear those first sounds of laughter. I can't believe Briley understands to do poo on the potty, Archie has no idea whatsoever, well done Briley!
