Hi all

Thanks for such a warm welcome.

Niamh - I think you post on British expats your ex friends need someone to treat them the way they have treated you. If i was you I wouldnt hand the car back until they pay the Rego. Do you have a receipt for payment??? Cheeky buggers you dont need enemies with friends like them do you??

Well I am not sure what is going on with my little man he is so unsettled all of a sudden in the evenings yeah I know its normal but to get to 13wks and then start. He had bad reflux at 4wks and this is well under control but suddenly he wont settle if laying flat again even though he has been able to for the last 7 or 8 wks. I dont get it. I have looked at the gums and no sign of any teeth even though he chews his hands and dribbles a lot recently. His bum is a little red and he has gone from poos every 10 days to every other day.

I am tired from spending all evening getting him settled to then go to bed at 10pm and get woken every 2 hrs with him wide awake. At 5am he is screaming in his sleep and wakes himself up.

I had him self settling but that is now back out the window.

Oh well wont be stressing too much his routine will change all over again soon (I hope)

I got an appointment with the physio for my pelvic floor as I have leakage since having my first child not much but enough to bother me.

I have not gone with the swimming lessons having spoken to friends they all thought what they expected me to do with a 3 mth old as not on. One friend said that the baby should always have bodily contact with the mother to feel reassured. He was happy when close to me but when I had to push him towards the side while grasping his thighs and his head going into the water due to been too tired to hold his head up and screaming I said enough is enough and got out the pool. I am going to take him to the heated pool when not warm enough outside and if its warm enough take him into our pool.

Anyway I am heading to bed as shattered and both my kids are now tucked up in bed. Question is for how long !!!!!!! DH is fast asleep shattered from getting up with DD at 6am every morning

Have a great weekend if I dont get on again till next week
