I finally get a chance to get on to do more than read the posts, thank god it has been quiet so I don't have a lot to catch up on I hope all of your bubbies have been much better behaved than my little monster, the last few days have been trying and I have to wonder if he is a little behind on the wonder week.
Sez - Yay on the boot coming off, you will be driving out and about in no time I am sure, no more cabin fever!!! I don't know how you went so long without the freedom to go wherever you wanted whenever you wanted.
Kelly - Sounds like Luke was a little monster yesterday, hopefully he keeps up the good behavior tonight so you can play cupid without having to settle him all night.
Dan - A practice run on having more kids, sounds exhausting. I hope your little nephew gets better soon. Noah and I co-sleep all the time and it has been going on since birth, I am working on a feed, play, sleep routine again and trying to settle him in his bassinet in the day unless I am going to have a snooze too, then we snuggle on the sofa.
Tara - A is definitely in order for you, what a terrible week! I hope your mastitis clears up for you quickly.
Lulu - I am glad to hear that things are looking better for you, it isn't unusual that babies sleep for a 2 hour stretch at a time, that is what the experts say happens and then one long sleep of 4-6 hours or so, Noah only sleeps for 1-2 hours at a stretch and his long sleep is 4 hours, the problem is he doesn't have many daytime sleeps, only about 2.
Tan - I think it is a wonder week that is bothering him Not a lot of fun but at least a sunny week follows. I really should get off my a$$ and get my P's so I can come to Melbs more often.
Michelle - Welcome! Bad weather in Qld??? All the ad's show nice blue skies!! When I arrived in Oz in 2002 I was going to head up that way but never got around to it. Fingers crossed it warms up for you.
Ack!!! My legs are dead! I was just sitting back on my feet and knees on the floor while I typed that and now I get the joy of pins and needles...
So today I have been working on the feed, play, sleep routine but it goes more like this, feed, play, feed again and then sleep, so 2 sleeps today were with me, and I decided to see if he would do another sleep on his own since I need to get ready for dinner at the IL's. I do the feed, then I played for the 1 1/2 hours, then I had to feed him again and I am about to put him in the bassinet, when he wakes!! I decided to leave him there and he fussed a little but I walked out of the room. He started to cry so I go back in and sing a nursery rhyme and then say nighty night and leave the room and 2 mins later I walk in and he is sleeping!! 30mins later he is still sleeping and I cannot believe it! The goal is to get him to have his daytime sleeps on his own so I can get things done during the day. Well I better get ready but I was so excited at this development I just had to share. Am I the last person to settle their child in their own bed?

OK, another quick one from me - I've just put Luke down but I don't like my chances of him actually falling asleep!!
Sarah - Well done!! Sounds like you're getting things sorted with day sleeping - lets hope it stays that way!! I'm having trouble there too but thankfully yesterday, Luke was a dream. Ryann put him down and when I went in a little later, he was sound asleep!! He never does that for me!!
Sez - So glad all is going well!!
So... the dinner party was great but the set-up was not so great - I certainly didn't notice any sparks flying!!! Oh well, it was still a lovely night, that is until I exploded the gravy in the microwave - long story but lets just say it was EXTREMELY messy and provided some entertainment for our guests!! I'm such an idiot!!
Friends of ours just had a little baby girl too, so we've been for a visit this morning and my god, it totally made us realise how much Luke has grown. He looked like a monster compared to her!!
Oh and very exciting news - we put Luke in his cot on Friday night and he just loves it!! I think he's enjoying being able to see everything as he couldn't see much from the bassinett. He's also loving the extra space. I still wrap him at night but in the day, I let him go and yesterday we found him with his arms right out enjoying the extra space!! So cute. He also had a great daytime sleep and then woke up and just looked around the room for a good half hour or so. He didn't even cry and I ended up just getting him up for some play time!! I couldn't believe it. I'm not holding my breath though!!!
