okay ,i have been sick also with the flu and chantlele has also caught it from me.as for tweedle it was damn hard.c was the most stubborn baby there.she was very determined to scream the place down for what seemed like an eternity several times through the night,i felt very disheartened as she was by far the one with the worst habits and she was also the youngest.the other mums were absolutly georgous and we all got along sooooo well,we were a group of 6 families and we just clicked and it felt like we had known ech other for years,they were such a wonderful support.i didnt want to leave as c had not improved at all while we were there although i did everything the way i was supposed to.well the hard work payed off finally when we got home.as you know c used to get up for a breast feed up to 5 times a night.she has not got out of bed at all since she has been home,she takes the dummy and goes straight back to sleep without a sound.last night she woke 1 time at 11.and the night before she woke 2 times but staright back to sleep with the dummy,tiss absolutly amazing,there is no way in hell that she would have done that a week ago.so it has most definantly been worth all the heart ache and sleepless nights,she still loves me and i look at her and i can tell she has already forgotten about those long sad nights at tweedle.sdhe is a happy,well rested baby now with a mummy than can cope alot better as i am not sleep deprived any longer.definantly worth it and i will do it again if the situation arrises.
