Ladies I think we all need a huge .
Olivia is asleep so let's see how I go with some personals.
Lis - hang in there petal. These first few weeks are the hardest and just do whatever you can to survive and worry about everything else in a few weeks when everything has settled down.
Tan - I've got everything crossed for your sleep school today. Praying that you and your mum find something that works for Izzy. There is a magazine called "Your Baby" which is released yearly and it has 30 tips from mum's on what they used to settle their babies. Might give you some ideas to try out for Izzy. Let us know how you go.
Ash - Hope everything is settling down with you and your AD's are working.
Sez - Did you manage to get your little man down to sleep? I absolutely love your ticker photo. He looks so adorable with his huge hat. Makes me smile everytime I see it.
Tara - You are a supermum having kids and a baby. I don't know how you do it. Don't even worry about the housework. If people have a problem tell them to bugger off or do it for you. I was told to always have the vacuum out because 9 out of 10 visitors will vacuum for you when they visit if it's out. So far it's been working for me. Best of luck with your D&C. What do you do about b/f? Does the anaethestic affect your milk?
Lulu - I completely agree with Tara (voice of experience) and when you feel like that order takeaway. I did that last Thursday after a terrible day and being so incredibly exhausted that I got fish and chips and went to bed. We can always cope better with a little bit of sleep under our belts. Did Izzy sleep for you last night?
Danni - What a naughty boy not smiling at mummy. Isn't it weird how we are the one's that spend the majority of our time with them and they behave better and give other people the rewards like smiles. Little terrors aren't they? Do you go out to the shops everyday? Is that the only way you can get some peace during the day?
Jan - Great to hear from you. Glad that you made it out to the dinner. Going out makes you feel like you still have some kind of life apart from being a milk production machine. YAY for mum's!!!! It's fantastic that you have the option of going and staying with your mum for a few days. Hope Julian gives you some rest today and everyday.
Ashley & Sarah - You two must be proud mumma's with such gorgeous little men. I love their photos. I really must do an album but it is unfortunately something that has been added to my to-do-list. Hopefully I'll get to it before she is 18.
Sarah - How is Noah's cast. Is he getting some sleep or is it still hurting the little man?
Alex - So great to hear that one baby is behaving themselves and sleeping for their mummy. Do you get a rest during the day when both your boys are asleep at the same time?
Okay I know that I have missed a few mummies but my computer won't let me go back any further. I'm sorry. But a huge hello and I hope that you are travelling along okay and your baby is letting you sleep.
Last night I had a melt down and layed on the couch and bawled when Olivia settled perfectly for daddy (of course, definetely daddy's girl) and he put her down and then half an hour later when she was in her deep sleep he got her out and gave her to me to hug. I had a mini fit that he got her up because it would ruin all the hard work we've been doing trying to make her settle herself but he said he didn't care if he didn't sleep for the next week because me having a nice cuddle and bonding time with Olivia that didn't involve feeding her was more important than anything. DH is just amazing at times it still surprises me. But that hug was exactly what I needed and she stayed asleep. YAY!!
Well I'm off to grab a quick cat nap before Olivia's next feed. Have a great day ladies and I'm sending out heaps and heaps of
.
