amelia... sweet merciful carp! 6.9kg. how u carrying him in that sling, girl? i swear i'm taking panadol by 4pm to deal with the back pain from lugging mr pants around.

re: the circ
we had thought we would get him done. dh had wanted him done, then when he was born we realised two things... 1) he is absolutely perfect as he is and how could we cut what we've just created; and 2) he needs to decide for himself later on (when it's more relevant) whether he wants it done. so for now, the answer is no.

he is such an angel (mostly) i just couldn't put him through that - and we don't have any religious reasons for doing it either.

is it full moon today? jj has been a weirdo all day. he has done 1 hour sleeps (some wrecked by leaks) and has fought sleep valiantly since 2pm. the kid is beside himself with exhaustion and had a huge scream. a bit of tit and i think he's falling asleep, as soon as his head his the cot... awake again, looking at everything, exhausting himself more.

he is so strange when he does this. i wonder whether he senses my unrest and it makes him worse.

anybody else got a non-sleeper today???
