Wow, Hoody and Willow, sounds as if my bub isn't the only grumpy one in the world! I don't know how you could manage two of them at once, I think I will wait until Caden is 10 before trying again, LOL.

Welcome EJE - I hear you hun. It is a trying time, DS was actually pretty good in the first few weeks, but the last 5 weeks have been very trying. It can put so much pressure on you, your relationships, and your health. I am in the same boat, so the only advice I can offer is to take up as much help as you can, every offer - accept! If there are no offers (as with us, we have almost NO family support) there is lots of community support available, or if you can afford it - buy it!

Joy - I agree that grandparents must forget what their bubs were like. If I am having a bad day, Mum just mentions how it is normal and how she had such a hard time with us, if I am having a good day, mum talks about how we were perfect angels (though I think she is just trying to one-up-me rather than her memory failing - but that is another issue...).

We saw the paed the other day, CAden has put on 390 gms in 9 days! AND he grew 3 cm. No wonder he is grumpy - the doc said that he is injesting the equivalent of 20 litres of milk a day. He has made his own growth curve, that is pretty much going straight up, not yet curving. He said it will calm down soon and that the growing is the reason bub is so unsettled. Fingers crossed this is the case.

Had immunisation the other day too, but Caden handled that really well. Had a VERY unsettled day yesterday though, so am hoping that was just the after effects - Day 3, is this normal to still have side effects?

Well, he is sleeping now so have had a moment to jump on and catch up with y'all.

Have a great week!
