Hi everyone
Finally got on here this week. have been so busy!

EJE - I'm so glad you got into the mothers group you were supposed to. I found out yesterday that I missed out on a mothers group for the 3-8 week group here. Was not at all impressed. My CHN did not mention mothers groups to me at all during my 2.5 week visit. Apparenlty they don't tell you about them if they are all full, because they don't want you to be disappointed, well I was disappointed I can tell you! So I kicked up a bit of a stink and they are organising a bunch of new groups for Feb and I will get to go in one of them. The problem is by that stage Jacob will be about 3 months and I could be in a group with lots of 3-8 week olds. Although they have assured me there are lots of other mums with bubs around 3months that missed out on the last intake as well. I had organised one with some mums I met online which has been great, but most of their bubs are a fair bit older than Jacob.

Suse - thats great news on the weight gain. Sounds like you have a great dr. Hehe - on trying to go with the flow. Its true, its so easy to say that when they are asleep and looking all angelic.

Hoody - sounds like you need a good lie down with all those kids. You are very very brave!!

Limeslics - love the idea of the cooking bee!! Oh and have checked out the flylady site too, might have a clean house here too soon.

Well Jacob and I went to pilates on Wednesday and he slept the whole time which meant I got to do a whole session. it was so nice to be doing something active and for me!! Although I'm a bit sore today. He seems to be coming back to liking day sleeps again (although not long ones), so maybe things are settling down again. Nights aren't too bad, although he fed at midnight last night and then decided it was play time for another hour (was not happy about that at all). He then fed again at about 3:30 but was up again at 5 with terrible wind pains. He has had this a bit lately so I spoke to the CHN at the chemist and she has suggested the Brauer Colic Relief to give him just before the last feed overnight. Will see how that goes.

Off to make dinner!
