Sangie - Im so glad El is feeling better- its so awful when they are not well isnt it. Sorry to hear work is so exhausting - I work 2.5 days and it feels like full time - I do so much at home and after school, its ridiculous! I cant wait to be aon mat leave again!

HBB - Yay for Brodie what a clever boy!

Sarah- which sleep school are you going to hun?? I hope it helps for you. Is it a week or day stay that you are going to? Did I tell you that you look hot?? Haha!

Shell - You poor thing - I hope you can get your me day hun. It is so hard when they wake a billion times a night. I feel awful but once I went back to work I put my foot well and truly down and told Al that I would not feed between 7-6 and so most of the time now he goes in to settle her. We are down to about 10-25 mins of grizzling and crying now before she resettles and its been about 2 weeks. She sleeps through til about 4-5 now, so its a big step from waking 2-3 hourly. Its hard to let her cry sometimes though but I just have to with work. Ugh sorry bit of a selfish vent, anyway just want to say you have to do what gets you through babe. :hugs:

Kass - sorry to hear that Bella is waking so much for you too. I went to sleep school with Izzy at 6 mths for a day stay and it was good but you have to be prepared to let them cry a little and listen to their different cries. We now let her go for a few minutes and really listen to her different cries and peaks and we have worked out when she is just calling out and pushing us or if she is genuinely upset and needs a pat and cuddle. Good luck hun - its definately worth looking into.

Dan - 6 shifts a fortnight sounds good hun! Did you request to cut back a bit??? SOunds like you will be much freer to spend time with your girl and us! :hugs: When are you moving?

to everyone I have missed!

We are doing well - Izzy is such a funny miss, mum sent me the funniest photos of her playing with our dog while I was at work today! (Long story - our dog Charlie - Cav King Charles lives with mum and dad!) She loves him - so cute to see! She loves chasing him with her walker and little car thing!

Pregnancy wise Im doing ok - man this all day and night morning sickness really sucks though. I dont throw up much thank goodness but I have this constant feeling of nausea like I could go either way at any time. Ugh - Im hoping it passes soon. I also am eating like a dervish and am worried about putting on weight but I just cant stop, just polished off a bowl of Connoisseur Chocolate Indulgence icecream....mmmmm.

Funniest thing happened today too - talk about baby brain. Id decided not to say anything for a few weeks to the staff at work, i just told my Prin and the girl I share a grade with. Today we were all sitting in the staffroom chatting about another teacher who was induced today - someone asked one of the girls where she was and she said the Angliss. So I turn around to them all and say - "oh Im thinking about going to the Angliss with this one" They all yelled straight away and one said "this one - OMG" So now half the staff know! Idiot.
Ah well whaddya do.

Well its nearly my bedtime so Im off ladies - I hope you are all doing fantastically well!
