Hi all.. I had to disrupt Maya's morning nap to go for my 6 week check up and after that I had mothers group. So she's now a very over tired girl, but won't go to sleep. My DH has taken over trying to settle her to sleep! I wish she'd sleep when out and about! It would make my life easier.

Anyway, my check up went well. Everything is healing nicely. And I love having the mothers group to go to every Wednesday. It gets me out of the house and I get to talk to adults and see other babies. One woman today said her baby will only sleep for 1hour maximum at a time and he's now 12 weeks old, so she hasn't slept for longer than 1 hour at a time for 12 weeks! It put things into perspective for me!

belfie - We should swap phone numbers so we can call each other and cry on the phone to each other when things are tough! That's great your neighbour was there to help. I don't have anyone near by who can help me.

kuraiza - That's great that you asked for help and got it. I think a lot of mothers don't speak up and ask for help when they need it and things just get worse. You're definitely not alone in your feelings. I feel very alone too and my family is in Melbourne as well as me!

Sami - I know what it feels like to watch someone else have everything done for them! I actually like my ILs, which I know is unusual. But I am so jealous of my SIL cos my MIL is round at her place every chance she gets and does all my SILs housework and looks after the kids while my SIL sits around. Then my SIL complains about how hard looking after her kids is!

Georgi - Good to hear Byron is doing well again.

Amanda -
I think it was just the stress of been a new mum and not use to been home 24/7 and all the pressure of trying to know what's wrong with the bub.
You basically summed up how I feel!

Hollye - Hope Mia is doing better now!

Katones - Hope you are feeling better.

Cathie - Yeah I find it hard enough getting out with one baby. I can't imagine how hard it'd be with two!

To everyone else: Hello! Sorry that's all I can manage for today. *sigh* Maya's still crying and not sleeping!! It's so frustrating because I know she must be so exhausted!! Yet she won't sleep.
