Lis - LOL at your DH. Men!! They're all the same. Good luck with the house hunting. Its a nightmare isn't it - what starts off as such an exciting thing quickly becomes a chore that is time consuming and at times depressing when you can't find what you want, or when you can't afford what you have found that you like!

Dan - big hugs. We had the same problem with Izzy for a while too. I had to lie on the floor next to her cot before she would go to sleep. I just gradually moved closer and closer to the door until I was out of it and I have to admit, I did leave her at times to cry (not what I was happy doing but I was getting desperate). I'd go back in after only a couple of minutes and it has very quickly got to the stage now where I can now put her down and walk straight out without problems. Hope something works for you soon - its exhausting when getting your little princess to sleep takes so long. And hey, if your DH won't let you buy a P&Ts I know of a lovely Mountain Buggy and Babylove Tandem that are up for sale . . . Feeding Elena is going well, but her colic/wind issues have been getting progressively worse all week.

Hi to everybody else. Hope everyone is well and bubbies are behaving.

Had the night from hell last night. Elena didn't settle until 1.30 am and work at 3am for a feed. Izzy ended up in our bed at 2am but was still screaming and at 5.30 am I finally got to bed for some sleep, only to get woken by Elena at 7am for another feed. Had her 6 week check up this morning though and she's doing beautifully. 51 cm length, 35 cm h/c and 3.63kgs at birth. At 6 weeks she is now 57 cm long, 40 cm h/c and 4.4 kgs. She is growing so much more quickly than Izzy did. Went and bought some of the miracle colic mix today too so hopefully that will give her some relief and DH and I some much needed sleep. I think Izzy is getting another tooth through so will put her to bed dosed up on Nurofen tonight and hope the tooth pops through soon.
