Good morning mums and bubs,

Hope everyone had an amazing weekend like we did. We did nothing exciting but we had a family weekend and I loved it. We had no commitments so we bummed out, played with Livvy together and went walking and visited some friends. It was really good, well fantastic to do nothing but be a family.
On Friday night I last it again . I had a huge episode because I was starting to feel like a nanny and a maid than myself because I had no me time and did all the housework. It was my fault that it got this bad because I wouldn't let Dave help me with anything because I was the stay at home mum ho's job it was to take care of looking after Livvy, the housework and cooking so Dave could rest when he got home from work. Dave and I had a really good talk and now we have divided everything up and we each get time off because we were both feeling incredible overwhelmed. So now we have divided up the cooking, cleaning and each have a sleep in and an afternoon off each week. My time is a little interupted due to b/f but after one weekend it seemed to work really well. We'll see what the week brings.
Well I'm so sick of Livvy not sleeping through. I'm so tired! I've tried clustering her feeds at night and then when she cries overnight going into her room and giving her her dummy and not touching or talking to her. I've tried to let her grizzle for a little while, tried giving her a small quick feed and straight back to bed. I can't get her sleep. Any help/suggestions/tips or is it just a case where I have to ride it out and she will sort it out herself when she is ready?
Lastly I've also joined a weight loss support group on here to try and sort out my tubby, lazy a$$. I want to lose at least 6kg (max 10kg) or go to dress size 10-12. Which ever lets me wear nice clothes that are the same size top and bottom. I suffer from the dreaded pear shape body.
That is more than enough about me/us.

We've all been really quiet so I don't have many personals to catch up on.

Sarah - That is a great tip about calling their rudies the correct name to make pedophiles uncomfortable. I will have to start calling it her vagina instead of her rudie nudie. Was you BBQ good? What footy did you watch, just local game?

Ash - You sound so amazingly well in your post. It is fantastic to hear. How you feeling? Is Blake being a good boy for you?

Michelle - Good to hear that you are all feeling and that everyone is over the bugs going through. How is your little man sleeping? Getting better?

Lulu - I'm not sure if Livvy is teething or her teeth just moving around and giving her grief. She is going through fazes of chewing her fingers red raw, rosy cheeks and excessive dribble one day and then the next she will be okay. I can't feel any coming through but I'm sure they are moving around on her. At least she is now old enough for bonjela. How are you feeling? It is so weird to see your pg ticker again. Izzy is going to be a great big sister.

Tan - How is that gorgeous girl of yours going? Have you managed to get her back to her 11 hour sleeps overnight?

Danni - Sending you and your family the biggest hugs during this terrible time. I'm so sorry that you have lost your pop. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hayley - Not sure if I've welcomed you or not so just in case HI and welcome to BB. You quickly get addicted to this place because the women on here are so amazing and it is soooo supportive. How is your little man going?

To everyone else hi and hope that you are having a great time being a mum and your bubba is being good.

Catch again real soon,

Luv Dan.
