TANYA I thought the same when I had BJ baby sat for the first time (and only time). Plus, he hadn't slept well all day so I thought he'd turn feral. Plus, he sometimes cries when people carry him. So I dropped him off at my friends place, stayed for about 30mins, then went to my doctors appointment, totally expecting him to get feral. I got back 2 hours later & he hadn't teared up once. I was so surprised. My friend doesn't have kids either (she's pg with her first). So I say, give it a go, you might be pleasantly surprised. Glad to hear the paed visit was a positive one. That's great. Good to hear she's all for BLS

FLUFF That's interesting that Jack started crawling backwards too. Good to know my baby isn't abnormal I have some tinned spaghetti in the pantry & was looking at it the other day wondering if BJ would like it. Hmmm, might try it soon. Are you finding the top teeth to be more difficult to cut then the bottom? I am. It's taking so long for them to grow. We're still waiting for the top left to cut. It seems to be just buldging more & more. Very annoying

BELFIE Here's some motivation for you...... I am sooo keen to get fit & get back into shape again. I walk/jog EVERY morning, without fail. I time myself each day & try to beat my time from the day before. Occaisionally I don't feel like jogging so I just walk fast, but I'm getting sooooo much fitter now. There is one route that I take that use to take me 45mins to walk, well yesterday I did it in 39mins. I've lost a couple of kilos but only just started being a little stricter with my food eg: No more low fat ice cream for dessert, it's fruit & yoghurt now (just the last week). I'm going to weigh myself on Friday & see if it's made a difference. With BJ's baptism coming up (june 14), I wanna try to look at least half decent! How's your weight watchers going?

SAMI Sounds like you've got a great day planned for your birthday. Sounds like fun to me. Boo for DH being away. That must be so hard with all those kids of yours. Yay for Z sleeping yesterday. I wish BJ would sleep for more than 30mins at a time. Though I'm feeling very tired today so I might take the lunch sleep with him. He normally will sleep for around 1.5 hours if he's in bed with me. Ahhhh, the luxury of having one child
