Hey there everyone!

How did last night go for all? I managed to get Jake down and he was sleeping so soundly until his ****y daddy came home and "tiptoed" through the house on our wooden floors in his clodhoppers at 1am! He settled quickly tho and actually went through his usual 3am whinge and woke at 6 for a feed and cuddle. AM soo tired tho stayed up watching movies and made a pig of myself at a whole pizza and garlic bread.... sounded like a great idea at the time but now my insides are paying me for it!

Hoe is everyone elses sleep / feed challenges going?

Christy croup sounds so horrible - I hope she had a better night. Don't you have to pre-empt croup tho if the drugs take a couple of hours to work? What else can you do otherwise?

Kim - is Craig home ok? Gosh you are doing so well if ur pg and dealing with an 8mth old - the 8mth old is enough for me! Sorry I just realised that was what ur up against... my brain is a bit slow these days....

Leanne - what are your weekend plans?

*BLanchie* - have you tried casseroles with lentils and beans instead of meat? Or risottos, or couscous? Cous cous is a fave in our house He has also been loving his watermelon and banana atm, and sandwiches with philly cream cheese.

Tara - Jake swallowed really well from the start, but when we started lumpy food like whole peas and corn he'd kind of gag but figured it out pretty quickly. SOme foods tho he'll keep chewing on for hours like a cow with his cud of grass - yday has a piece of carrot in his mouth for about an hour after lunch!

Vicky - how did you go at dr? was last night any better?

Ann - how's the rocking and patting? any better sleep wise?

AJ - are you guys doing ok?

If I forgot anyone sorry! Have a good day - am going to try and get the groceries done today - again - no luck yday maybe today will be better.... except DH is golfing so he's no help. My nose is dripping like a tap so better go - hot shower might do the trick!
