Tan - your new kitchen sounds like its coming along beautifully. Very exciting. When did you put Izzy in the big bed first?? How did you go initially? I'm wondering if I should maybe take the side off Izzy's cot so that it turns into a junior bed. I'm just worried she'll be getting up and wandering every time she wakes up! How is James going? Sounds like he is starting to sleep really well for you. Much easier to deal with average day sleeps if you're getting a really good sleep at night. Elena has only just started sleeping decently during the day - I now get at least 2 hours out of her in the morning which is heaven - the girls actually sleep at the same time so I get time to do all the housework while they're both asleep which is sooooo much easier than trying to do it when one or both are up.

Dan - glad you're feeling better sweetie. Don't hesitate next time if you are suffering. MS is such a horrible thing. Sounds like Livvy is testing her mummy well and truly at the moment. Try not to stress about it - she may be picking up a bit of a hormone change with you and that little bean you're growing. I know Izzy certainly went through some weird periods. And definitely don't stress about her weight. FWIW Iz is 80cm tall, so a bit taller than Livvy, but almost half a kg lighter than Livvy. My MCHN says she's absolutely fine - she's consistently been on the same line of weight, is full of energy, bright and alert. We both just have lovely little fairy girls, that's all. Don't know about you though but it makes clothes a nightmare. I just bought Izzy a couple of size 1 skirts and they literally fall off her.

Kass - good luck with the TTC. I hope your journey is a very, very short one!

Lis - how are the renos going? Nightmare time but hopefully it will pass quickly for you. Do you think there's a chance you'll be in your new house for Christmas? Crossing my fingers for you that you will.

TT is going slowly with Izzy. She happily sits on her potty or the toilet seat but nothing happens yet. She knows when she is about to wee and if she doesn't have her nappy on she gets really distressed but no matter how many times I take her to the potty or the toilet she won't do anything. She's had only a couple of accidents and is really upset when she does. I'm trying not to pressure her though so most of the time when she obviously needs to do something if she doesn't do anything on the potty within a couple of times of taking her to it I'm just putting her nappy back on. Do you think I'm doing the right thing? Damn this is hard when you don't have the operator's manual!
