Hi ladies
Well DS is asleep at the moment so I thought I'd try and catch a few minutes on here to say hi.

Things are going pretty well here. The tooth fairy is still my worst enemy , however the teething tablets are working wonderfully. Last night he was pretty restless between 2 and 4am (so I'm struggling a little today), but overall it has just been two feeds overnight. No crawling (well not forwards anyway), although he is so desperate to do it that he gets pretty cranky. He loves being walked around the house at the moment which is just gorgeous to watch. DH walks him from his room to the bathroom before his bath and the sight of this chubby naked smiling boy walking proudly up the hallway is just beautiful . We have lots of sitting, squealing and this fabulous new grunty hissy noise that he has discovered that drives me a little crazy.

Heather - wow I can't believe Kimberley got more teeth through without you even realising it. I am so jealous, but I bet you are relieved. Hmmm, grinding i hadn't thought of that. With all the other wonderful noises they make it would be interesting to see them add that to their repertoire.

Dragonbub - I am feeling for you at the moment. I hope your boy decides to get back to the good stuff soon. I would place my money on AF being around the corner too. Jacob gets pretty crabby and fussy around that time. Even though he is taking your milk from the bottle there could be other changes he is noticing as well. The speed it is coming out could be different or you could smell different too (hormones can do lots of things we aren't aware of). Watch those lumps too!! Oh and how is that poor tooth coming along?

Belinda - mothers groups is fabulous. It is hard to catch up regularly but I find it so therapeutic. Being able to talk about what is going on, both good and bad is great. Plus finding out what other people do in certain situations is great when you are at the loss. Also just getting out of the house and having an adult conversation is therapeutic.

Hoody - Yes four trips to the hospital is definitely your quota for the year! In fact for quite a long time I would hope. I hope things are picking up a little for you. At least DD1 TT is good news!

Oh i almost forgot, I might have some good news with day care too. A neighbour of mine who has four lovely kids (2 at school) offered over the weekend to look after Jacob. I am thrilled just need to work out a few things before I officially accept though. I am a little worried about it stretching the friendship, but I am hoping she wouldn't offer if she wasn't thinking seriously about what it meant.

Ok I am off now, will try and have a coffee in peace before the boy wakes up.
