Hello!!

Wow, everyone's been really chatty!!! Well, I must say the night out was a complete success!! I knew I was worried for nothing. We left at 5pm and Luke was still asleep. I didn't like that he would be waking up to find us gone!! Anyway it didn't seem to bother him - he had a great time with Grandma. I called to check on him once at about 8pm and he'd just gone to bed. I hated checking up but all the same, it made me feel much better and I really enjoyed the concert. We went and saw Sarah Blasko - she's just increcible. The most amazing voice I've ever heard!!! It was an outside concert on the grass and unlike all of you in Melbourne, it was FREEZING!!!! I haven't been that cold in along time and we had blankets. There were so many people there with nothing, I don't know how they survived!!!

Sooo... we got home at about 10.30pm and got to bed at about 11.15pm, so I was expecting a bad night. Luke woke at 3am and I just went in, stroked his head, gave him a kiss and put the dummy back in and low and behold, he went back to sleep and woke at 5.30am!!! I ended up putting him in bed with us at 5.45am and we slept until about 6.20am. Then I got up and fed him!! That's probably our best night ever!! It always happens when I can't make the most of it. He's just sooo up and down. One good night then heaps of bad ones!!

Danni - Big hugs honey - you're going through such a rough time right now. I hope you manage to get into sleep school a bit sooner. Take care.

Tan - Yay for such a great night - lets hope it continues this time!!!

Ash - Wow, good work Blake getting his first tooth at exactly 6 months!!!

Steph - Luke is such a piggy, I offer him 250ml each feed and he usually takes most of it. I'm feeding him every three hours during the day to try and cut out his night feed (at 2am) - seems to be working a little. So he's actually taking about 5 feeds of 200ml. Sometimes he'll polish off a whole bottle though and others he'll only take half. It's very up and down. I just offer the whole lot and let him go for it!!

Lee - Luke's not moving around too much yet, particularly in the cot. He'll move around the floor a fair bit but in bed, he's really good and just stays put!! We'll see how long that continues for!!

Dan - Hope everything is ok honey - don't you just love it when they don't even notice that they're in the bad books!!

Sez - So great to hear from you - how is Nicky going???

Well, we've got the plumbers here this morning finally doing some work on our bathroom - its been a work in progress for well over a year!! Luckily we have another bathroom but it doesn't have a bath and I'm desperate to get Luke out of the laundry tub!!! They're soo noisy though but thankfully Luke is sleeping through it all, so far!! The bathroom is right next to his room, so I've had to put him down on the spare bed at the other end of the house. Luckily he doesn't move around too much and should be fine. I just hope the noise doesn't wake him!! Better go check how he's going!!
