    i wouldn't mind if we got measels here before vax, at least you get life long immunity. i had a really accurate reading once, too scared to go again now. So Myles was crawling and standing, but couldn't sit? wierd.... those sleep deprived crisis moments are the pits, glad things are looking up for ya.

    Mo- 72 here i think, whatever average is.

    Juila- That's what you get for excercising and showing us all up! :P *jelous, wishing i was sore from some form of physical excercise*


    So after our cracker nights sleep, we were up at 12am, 2am, 3.30am and then 6.30 for the day. wooohooo. not. tried to sleep this am, but i am no good at sleeping during the day. Whinge over.

    Anyone have probs weaning off the wrap? We're having pretty bad day sleeps here taking about 20-40 mins to settle himself off to sleep and had to go in just now after about an hour when he finally cracked it and pat him off. This morning was pretty good, grizzled on and off for 10 mins then had a good sleep. Nights are fine so far, no change.

    I'm so tempted to start wrapping him again but promised myself I'd give it a week's adjustment period. He's just way too mobile and although he doesn't get upset when he gets out of it, it's becoming a pain. Gotta get out of it sooner or later. Don't remember it being this painful with DD but I honestly think that's my mummy amnesia kickin' in...we block out the bad stuff and keep the good! LOL.

    Amber - visiting a friend in QLD in October and she's going to take me to see a psychic she saw recently. I had a reading once that was so spot on it was frightening. Unfortunately he has passed away now and never been able to find another good one. After getting sick, losing our bub, ttc, IVF etc I was too scared to go cause I thought they'd tell me I'd never have another baby but no reason not to go now. I hope the 'big change' is more sleep - it's gotta come eventually, right??!!

    Generally measles suck for a few days but no long term effects, there can be complications but they are rare. I think the measles vax only came in when i was a kid. My older brother had measles without incident.

    Sorry Willow, no help with the wrapping. But like you say you have to wean him sometime and it's never going to be easy. Maybe you could replace the wrap with anothy sleep que, like a lovey or a sleeping bag.

    He's been in a sleeping bag for months Ange, with just a light wrap loosely over the top, which is why I didn't think it'd be this much of an issue. Guess I just don't seem to catch any breaks with the sleep thing...

    Yeah, measles in a child is usually a very mild virus, the risk is to the greater public ie people with suppressed immune systems, prg women etc. which is why the vax was introduced,

    hi everyone
    sorry cant remember what was in the last thread...

    julia - i feel your pain, feeling sore today too, cause I went to a pram fitness class yesterday which also involved boxing (and squats, and weights etc)

    Mo - Tahlia was 69cm at her last checkup which was her 7 month one, so I'd say she'd be around 71 or 72 now too cause all her pants are getting short!

    Willow - we are still wrapping here, but most of the time she is getting out of it so I think its time to try and wean her from them too. I'm not looking forward to it though!
