    *thinking to myself* --- mmmm maybe circumcision ... maybe not ....

    Amy - i'm just green with envy that i can't start our day at 9am - but then again my kids are all mostly in bed by 8pm so that is good too - shouldnt be greedy hey!

    More Anzacs in oven to rescue - DS loved them so much after baking them for the school fete i did some today for a little treat when he got home from school - probably the only time i will ever bake as such

    kuraiza - I'm definitely loving dummy heaven. But now I'm not sure how often I should use the dummy. Do you only use it for bed time?

    Oh and you won't want to hear this but Maya has not been the same since her 4 month injections, which were 3 weeks ago!!!! She's been harder to settle, feeding more and waking more at night since then! Hopefully the effects will wear off for Jude soon!

    Last night Maya woke 3 times and was really hard to resettle after one of the feeds (up for nearly 2 hours). Sigh! I just don't know why she has changed so much and will it ever go back to how it was?!

    I had a good day though. My DH finally took a day off that he had owing. And I went and had a massage while he looked after Maya.

    Tanya: Well Jude and Maya have been tag-teaming since they were born, having quite similar temperaments, so poo to that. Maya waking up 3 times a night and being so hard to settle is terrible, it hasn't come to that with Jude but I had to feed him twice at each feed last night, once from the boob and then from bottle because he wasn't satisfied so I was up for ages twice through the night, but once I'd filled him to the brim he went to sleep easily, even without his dummy.

    btw, I use the dummy whenever I want to, I don't worry about it only being for bed. I have vague memories of there being rules back at the start, but I quickly got over that. Jude doesn't always take a dummy and he doesn't always need one, so he's definitely no Maggie Simpson.

    Teruteru: congratulations on finishing your exams. I missed out, what are you studying? That must be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (etc) hard with a little baby.

    teru - woo hoo congrats on the exams!! I still don't know how you do it, so well done. I hope the trip goes well too.

    Well we had a very unsettled Mr X last night - who was he on the phone to?
    And he had his bath this mornign which always makes him mega-grumpy... poor laddie gets the itchy scritchies afterwards. MIL was over and was quite struck by how unhappy he is afterwards (which was kinda gratifying cos I had explained that this happens), and that's why we do it on the day, not at night. Oh well, at least it's over for another week.

    I went online shopping and bought myself a superstar galactibra (a sports one - but not underwire) to hold in my E cup girls, Estelle & Edna (no, i don't really call them that ). I'm hoping it'll be good, cos i just can't find a decent bra anywhere atm, and I want to be able to walk without knocking myself out! Fingers crossed it'll be ok.

    Oh and SamiH - u can live vicariously thru me, cos i bought those cot sheets. In return, you can have my share of the anzacs

    hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. I couldn't sleep until 4 am - combination of DH snoring, unsettled boy, and "healing discomfort". arrrgh zombie-belfie needs caffeine!

    Ugh, judging by the wet patch and the ache in my ovaries, I'm back on a 28-day cycle. Not that it matters since I'm not having sex. God, my poor husband.

    Anyone have set plans on when/if they will have another child?
