i hear ya nelly, i think you just gotta go with your gut--if his sobbing is too much for you then do what you gotta do - i guess anything you do will change again once bubby comes along
they must think 'well, why does the baby and mummy and daddy all sleep together and i'm all alone?!?!' it must be hard for them hard for us too!

moving to the big bed is a big deal, and with a new baby in parent's bed, i bet even harder.

how is Aston's croup Vicky?

any news on Ann's Twins? thinking of you Ann and Ella!

and AJP, she is due today i think.

wish i could be where these nbs are (or rather, WILL be!!) to lend a hand.

Kim, how is Chelsea feeling?

Taralee - how is Evie doing?

bilby is disgustingly healthy right now, so i have no news, except she signalled and did a wee on the potty yesterday (so got her star stickers and a babycone of icecream). but she screamed and cried today, got really hysterical, when she was in knickers, and needed to do a poo. only a tiny bit came out, and she has held onto it ever since (for last six hours). she is terrified of pooing without a nappy on. not sure how to get her over that fear.

speech therapy is progressing, she has a few new words, i think more from going to Gymbaroo than the speech therapy actually. SHe now says "bye bye" to people and at the end of tv shows, e/g when the wiggles say Bye Bye Everybody. before, all she did was blow kisses and wave.

Hooray for Bilby Gigi, thats fantastic and I love your phrase 'disgustingly healthy'! just great lol
It does take longer for kids to get used to poos on the potty, its a bit weird seeing a mass of something in there rather than just some 'water' lol. At kindy, we had heaps of kids who would tell us they wanted a nappy on to do poo, and thats fine - they'll eventually get to a point where they dont like the feeling of poo in their nappy and would prefer to do it on the potty/toilet. So if thats what Bilby wants to do then just roll with it.
evie cries when she does a poo on the potty and usually asks for a nappy instead...i think its better to put a nappy on them than to have them hold it in

I am thinking my office needs reorganising.....

no news from Ann yet! Did I tell you I made a lime cheesecake - mmmmmm first attempt at a cheesecake and was pretty impressed! I have had to send the banana cake with lime glaze to work with DH so I don't eat sweets all day! Also have an apple crumble sitting in the fridge from the dinner he cooked me for Valentines day which will have to get eaten!!!
