Hi girls, haven't been on much because still not much sleep from Logan and hence no time for me! I feel a touch selfish but I REALLY need just 1-2hrs of ME time.
So Vicky - you are not alone in venting! I've got 6 "children" in this house - 2 dogs, 2 cats, hubby and Logan. They all want, want, want - I am running out of "give".

Vicky - hope the mastitis is easing and that your family gives you a break soon too. Don't know how all of you with 2 or more kids manage - hats off to you all. I think mothers deserve a medal - hardest job in the world!

Christy - How is your burn? sounds VERY nasty and the last thing you need when you have a high needs baby. Is Jovie managing better still? Sleeping without the HAB? Sorry to be obessed with sleep but its all I can think about these days!!

Olivia - Welcome on board!! I have chatted to you re sleep issues and our boys being very similar. My mother's group hasn't started yet due to xmas etc but I am getting quite desperate for it. Just need to talk to other people possibly going through the same hardships. I know a couple of other women who have had babies recently but they have very placid children who sleep well and on their own!
Where are you in melbourne - maybe we should catch up someday?
How is Lugh doing in the bassinette? Is the night sleeping going ok with the switch from co-sleeping?

Kim - Sorry to hear chelsea is so unsettled after her immunisations - have you rung you GP?

Robyn - WTG Baylee! Soon will all be talking about our bubs crawling,talking,walking for the first time!

Well, as you can gather from my whinging, the sleeping issues are not improving. Night sleeping actually worse the past 3 days - DS waking every 1.5-2hrs and having a very restless period from around 2am when he may sleep but so restless that i don't!
Possibly the pain/crying is a bit better since the chiro and me eliminating dairy but hard to be sure. I have started the Losec for reflux so will see if this helps at all but I get the feeling the sleep problems will remain regardless. Really need some outside help I think but very hesitant about "sleep schools", mother/baby units as I am dead against CC.
He is alseep atm in his hammock which is a miracle in itself as I usually have him in the HAB this time of day but to hot already. Going to reach the 45 min mark very soon so we'll see.
Sorry about the lengthy post but needed to rant !!

Ann- sorry, almost forgot - was going to ask about your cat. Have you heard of Feliway - its a feline pheremone spray that can be useful for kitty anxiety/toileting issues. Speak to your local vet or ask me any questions if you like - my veterinary brain hasn't been active for awhile but I may be able to clear the cobwebs in there!!!!
