Welcome Lee!! I know, isn't it just incredible how fast our little bubs grow!!! Luke seems to do something new every single day atm - it's just amazing!!

Tan - You poor thing, I'm sending you heaps of big hugs!! It really sounded like you had turned a corner - the cheeky little monkey!! Don't feel bad about having a whinge, that's what were all here for and I think most of us (if not all of us) know exactly how you're feeling!! It will get better. Just try to enjoy the 'happy' moments when she's awake and try not to think about the next sleep! I'm so glad that you're interview was moved forward and i hope you manage to get some answers soon. Good on Al for helping you last night, don't feel bad about that either, although they have to go to work, they also have to support us, so use it when you can!! My DH has been great lately and has been up a few times to help out too!!

Well, I hate to say this coz I'm sure like everyone else, it's not going to last but we had our first REALLY good night last night. Luke went down at about 8pm last night and didn't wake until 4am!!! That's the best night we've EVER had!!! Unfortunately I didn't take full advantage of it but still, I had one of the best nights ever aswell. I had to feed him at 4am but only made up half a bottle. He took it all and then gave a bit of a cry, wanting more but after a little cuddle, he forgot all about it and went straight back to sleep. Unfortunately I couldn't get back to sleep though and then he woke again at 5.30am. We tried to settle him until about 6.30am and then he came into bed with me until 7am! Little monkey. I'm not complaining though because it was still the best night ever for us!!! I'm praying it will continue, at least for a week or so. Its my birthday on Friday (the big 3-0) and it would be so nice to feel good and not so bloody tired!!

Anyway, Luke's asleep again now - his day sleeps are just incredible. He still fights me a little and I usually have to go back in to put his dummy in twice before he'll drift off to sleep but all in all, it's just wonderful. So there is hope for us all. I've really just let Luke lead the way and it's made all the difference (as well as the extra formula feed during the day)!! We don't have a real set routine, other than the feeds but its so much easier to set feed times now that he's on formula!!

Better go, we've got a plumber coming over to give us a quote on some work in our bathroom - FINALLY we're getting stuck into the reno - it's only been a work in progress for nearly 2 years!!! I'm desperate to get LUke in the bath!!

Take care!
