Wow - moving along! Sorry I dont' have too much time to post personals, there is so much to catch up on...

Willow - hang in there mate *hugs*. The mind gets too full from trying to cope with everything, it is normal to get over-loaded. I wont patronise you by saying I know how it feels, but gee, I sympathise! LOL about your little man laughing. What a great gift in a dark hour.

Hoody - sorry to hear about your gastro, milk supply and AF arriving (thank goodness she has stayed away so far). Yes, I have read too that the arrival of AF can put bub off her milk, although apparently it is only the first AF, all the others should be normal from now on.

Suse - Caden will poo every couple of days now, although having said that, he has pood about 3 times each day for the last couple of days.

EJE - day sleeps are hard cos apparently at 6 weeks babies get day sleep cycles, meaning they dont' just sleep through. It is around this time that you have to teach them to self settle. Maybe get some advice on your health nurse or GP on how to do this. There are some good books also. Apparently at 6 months they get night sleep cycles, so it is one to watch out for then!

As for us - well Caden has been sleeping through the night! I feel like a normal human being with 8 hours sleep.

Having said that, he has been so irritable the last few days, he has poo'd constantly, full of wind and spewing a bit more than usual, AND crying a fair bit. He hasn't been sleeping so well, I put him in his cot as usual for his daytime sleeps, but he will only sleep for one sleep cycle or two (about 40 min - 1.5 hours). I am not sure, but I think he is either 1) teething, or 2) has a bug, or 3) both. He is drooling alot more, has just gotten a smidge of nappy rash, and has been chewing on anything in site (including my nipple - ouch!). I can see two little white spots where his bottom teeth would be, but this comes and goes. I got my first teeth at four months so it wouldn't surprise me if he got them early, but gee! Does one little man have to go through so much pain so early in his life. We have only just got his sleeping sorted out, aaaaaagh. The frustrations of parenting are enough to send anyone round the twist (Willow - you are NOT alone).

No more complaining. I have booked Caden into swimming lessons starting the 10th of Feb (baby swim nappy is sooo cute) and Gymbaroo on the 4th of Feb. I have also looked at childcare options for when I go back to work, so that has been quite good.

Will be MIA this week as I am off down south again to spend some time with both sisters, so will post on Friday arvo.

Have a great week everyone!
