AnnaT - I agree with the others, it really sounds as though you need some time out - even if only for a day or so. Tho I would tell your DH that you are heading off for a day or two, but not necessarily where you are going etc if you don't want to.

Maz - I'm with all the girls on this one. You are doing an awesome job raising those kids of yours. Big WOO HOO!!! on your little man wearing winter clothing as well as to getting an overlocker.

Rikki - How's Ainsleigh going on her solids now? Did you try something other than the rice cereal? Next week I'm starting Xander on baby porridge (if he'll take it )

Caddie - That's awesome news that Ruby nearly rolled, her neck muscles must be getting stronger!

Jodi - for El Nina's first toothy peg... let us know how BFing goes!

Chrissy - at you still thinking it is September!

Helen - Great idea about using rubber back curtain as a nappy free time mat! I'm going to Spotlight tomorrow.


Shell - Xander has only just gone down after a whole lot of protesting. Maybe Ash is still doing her 4-5 month growth spurt as my little guy carried on for over a month on that one. I hope sleep school gets you in soon - and please, share the tips!

Talking about growth spurts... I really how much longer I can keep up with Xanders' ever growing milk requirements, I had an awesome supply but even I'm struggling now . I'm getting to the point where I am now considering for the first time giving him a formula top-up - as yet again, he is obviously starting another growth spurt and the BF'ing frenzy that comes with it.

****! Xander is going to be SIX MONTHS OLD next week! Where has the time gone?
