Hey Hoody and Willow - I am still here too but have had the week from HELL! Must be a 6 week thing, I don't know, but Caden was screaming and screaming for days. I mean, it probably wasn't that bad, but he would cry, then eventually work himself up so much he would just cry with every bit of energy in him, so much so that he would run out of breath and go dark red! I was in tears myself and pretty hysterical after a couple of hours of this. Off to the docs who didn't even touch him but prescribed an anti-acid. Not sure if he even has reflux, but today he is a much better baby, so something has worked (or maybe just the end of the growth spurt?). I have stopped having caffiene (my one vice, is there no reprieve?) and have thought "stuff the experts" and put him on the boob whenever he cries. We were trying for a while there to try to settle him cos we figured he couldn't possibly still be hungry, especially after a big feed. Now if it shuts him up I figure "stuff it" and put him on. Today he has slept and had a fairly good wake time, then off to sleep really easily, so maybe something has clicked into place (please please please).

I hear you both about DHs. It is like you want them to get out and do their own thing, but then you resent it anyway! I went to a new-baby session at Ngala the other day and I was gone for 3.5 hours in total. Because I missed a feed my (.)(.) were so sore. When I got home DH asked if I enjoyed my time away. Ungrateful girl that I am, I said not really, that it was good, but I was still extremely frazzled and fragile after my week and that I just wanted my happy baby back, not my purple faced screaming demon!

Hoody - I am in Freo. Would love to meet up at some stage!

Well, I might try and get a bit of a nap in before bubs wakes up. DH is having a nap, poor thing, all those night time feeds that he has to get up and do (no sarcasm intended...seriously).

Have a good week ladies!
