curl - Good to hear from you. And good to hear that Loralei is doing really well. I hope she gets over her cold soon!

Amanda - Sounds like Julian is giving you lots of sleep.

Amy - Glad you got through yesterday. Oh and love the pics of Bethany! She's so cute. As for poo.. Maya does MANY poos a day and always a MASSIVE poo at some stage that often leaks out of her nappy and onto her clothes and sometimes onto other things like me! I'm starting to wonder if I feed her too much, cos she seriously poos all day long nearly!

kuraiza - Maya's a cat napper during the day too! I think I also need to accept that that's how it is.

Georgi - That's excellent news about Byron doing so well.

To everyone else: Hello! Hope everyone's day is going ok!

As for MILs I can't complain. I really love my ILs - I see them as part of the package I got with my DH! They are so helpful and generous. Of course there are some things they do that I don't understand or might not agree with, but overall they are great! My family on the other hand are a different story. Always criticising things I do or say - except for my mother who's great! But she doesn't drive so she can't come up to see me or help me. I do remember an ex-boyfriends MIL who was a night mare though. One day she cornered me and started saying "why don't you ever call me?". And I was just thinking WTF - Why would I call her?!

Anyway, DH is doing better and has gone back to work.. so I only have one person to care for today. Ohh.. and I'm not doing controlled crying yet at all.. but I really had to use the loo this morning and put her in her bassinet and I could hear her screaming and then by the time I got back she'd fallen off to sleep!

Ahh.. she's calling..
