Jo - Have a brilliant and relaxing weekend, hope the weather is good and the mozzies leave you alone. And Sammy - sleep well for mummy! Forgot to say that I love your cot idea, well done!

Storm - Yeah I have tried not to worry as much. If she has a bad feed, I sit her on the ground and just say 'Well if you won't eat then too bad!'. Still kinda gets to me though. Maybe Bill just goes to the pub and one the way home goes to the fish shop, buys afish and rubs it all over his clothes hehehehehhehe. Nah he's probably just as hopeless as we are. We love going fishing but never catch a thing. I caught a starfish about 5 years ago and DH and I are still arguing whether that can be classed as a 'fish' or not! And yeap I bet you do have another munchkin, and then Dolly P eat your heart out! Go girl, that's fantastic!

Thanks Georgie. Trying not to fret so much! My sister got the toy in Melbourne. I'll ask what the shop is called. I think she said it was one of those educational kids places. And re baby proofing - yeap we are. We will probably move in a month or so though so we haven't got gates yet. I do have some power point plugs, and Lucie can only go into the lounge and kitchen with all the doors closed. We have done things like put chairs, chests etc in front of electrical cords, vacated the lounge of anything baby unfriendly and stuff. But I tell you what, babies have a knack of finding every bit of dirt/rubbish on the ground and putting it in their mouths. Unbelievable! Hope the sleep gets better for you. Soooo annoying when bubs is asleep and you can't.

Cass - Not sure about the tooth thing either. When Lucie's were coming through you could see this kinda grey/clear line and teh top of the gums. I am sure it will be through in no time!

Well Lucie seemed to like my cooking last night - that is until we had power spew, and just after a full bottle And not an overly wet nappy this am but what can I do? So I think I might dilute the vegie mix 50/50 with rice cereal until she gets used to it. Maybe it was a bit strong.

Off to Brisvegas today. The contract on our house goes unconditional today so [-o< all goes well! We are packing the rest of our stuff up to bring back. I have to drive Lucie by myself - 2.5 hours! DH is driving the ute. Fingers crossed she doesn't scream the entire time.
