meant to mention to you chrissyt, that i found that when i wrote down what ainsleigh did each day it made me see a natural pattern to her day... so though i don't go to a set routine in the day, i am kind of aware of what the natural pattern will be if that makes sense. found this helped me. also, for those who shower with their bubs, i do as chrissy suggested in setting up the towel on the bouncer with ainsleigh wrapped up but still in her nappy. she loves being in the bathroom so she sits there contentedly while I have my shower then i jump out and get her. how quickly you learn ways to cope when you are home alone for two weeks out of three!

was great to get out and see some of my oldest friends tonight.. but just as i dropped ainsleigh off she did a nice power spew all over me... shirt and skirt so i had to go home and change. luckily i live close by my dad's place! picked her up and put her in the car then in to her cot without waking up. she would be so exhausted after getting up at 4.30am and only catnapping all day.... does that mean she'll sleep in tmw morning... wishful thinking

perth girls, if you are keen to meet up before the silly season gets too silly i am happy to have something at my place, since i think i would be about half way between NOR girls and caddie... what do you think?
