Ah, Kim, yeah I had a screamer too. I promise it gets better. I read somewhere (after I had already gone through that screaming stage) that they cry more and more up until 6 weeks where it reaches a peak and then it starts to settle down. So if you can hang in there it will end eventually. Good idea taking her to your Mum and Dad's - it's great that they're able to help out. Make sure you take advantage of that, for your own sanity's sake! I used to stay at Mum and Dad's once a week so that DH could get a full night's sleep. It really made a difference for both of us - DH because he got an uninterrupted sleep, and me because Mum was really helpful and was able to let me catch a few zzzs when I needed them. Wish we lived closer so that I could pop round a have a cup of tea with you - if you have a child who won't settle you might as well halve the burden!
Well, another uneventful night around here, I'm afraid. I'm just accepting the fact that I will be someone else's home for the rest of my life. It's looking more and more likely that he could be born on BIL's birthday (tomorrow) which is the one thing I don't want. BIL has a whole heap of mental problems stemming from a condition he had as a child, and he has the brain functioning of about a 14 yo boy. He's always coming up with very weird conspiracy theories (one was how I was only going out with DH because I was in love with BIL's "French" eyelashes - so he stared wearing Ray Bans whenever I was around so I wouldn't get tempted!), and if No. 2 shared his birthday then it would probably be the single most significant event in his life and everything would then revolve around the fact that they were somehow connected because of it! *sigh* So if it's not today then I would prefer for it to be Wednesday. We'll see.
Off to procrastinate and pass the time some more on some more forums. Since you gals haven't been as chatty (I wonder why? LOL) I have been able to check a few other BB forums - they're great! Hope you have a wonderful day.
