Nickers - thanks for the advice. I would hate him to have surgery, but if it corrects a problem and prevents future learning difficulties, then of course we would need to have it done. He does stop breathing for a few seconds, five at the most sometimes, but I do that too so wasn't too concerned. He sleeps about 10-11 hours a night and about 3 hours during the day which seems normal. I will mention it to the GP when I visit next though as I would rather be on the safe side. DH snores but that might be an adult thing rather than a baby thing. Right now Caden is snuffly due to the flu so will take him when he is better.

Celtic - LOL about the shower. In the early days that was my one oasis of calm in an otherwise frantic day and DH would always comment on how long I spend in there. I figure a bit of water is cheaper than a nanny, a cleaner and a therapist, so he shouldn't be complaining!

Pish - it is hard to quarantine yourself when sick, I know if we did we wouldn't have been out for the last couple of months! Although we might not have gotten sick, the house-blues would have been far worst. I am sure she will be fine.

Minimax - my FIL has to be hooked up to a machine that opens his airways, otherwisse he has really bad sleep apnoea and snores badly. He said now that he has the machine it is like being able to breathe, he never realised how bad it was. He used to eat with his mouth open because his nose was blocked. Just goes to show how important those two little holes are

Boomba - cupid, cool! that would be so gorgeous. For Caden's first birthday I am hoping to make him a sailor outfit. I made a bee one for an event a while ago and he was the cutest thing

Saffi - Childcare seems a haven for every bug under the sun, but having said that, Caden is in family day care and has passed on more germs than he has gotten from there unknowingly of course! I have never been so sick in all my life than the last couple of months. First the flu, then a small bout of gastro (I even thought I might be pg) then a BIG dose of gastro through the whole family, now the flu AGAIN! It is hard enough taking care of yourself, but throw in a cranky DH and an irritable bub, and things start blurring together to become one big messy picture that is my life Hopefully it will be over soon

Sorry if I have missed anyone, I only can get on here every couple of days so struggle to keep up! Have a great weekend
