Pregpan- hope N is feeling better, that must have been so scary to see him like that

Ozstar - sounds like Logan has been a little piglet this week!

LP - glad your DOCs visit went well. I hope they pay more attention than that at houses where kids are in danger.

We had our last swimming for the year today. I will miss it, it is the only day of the week he will have a decent day sleep lol. I can't believe christmas is less than a week away. At this stage it will only be DH, W and I. I don't think we are doing anything on the day, we are going to a friends house on Sunday for dinner but that is all we have planned.

Pregpan - Oh my goodness poor Noah! Glad to hear he is all ok. Must have been so scary for you guys.

Hayley - Glad to hear the docs visit went well. Its a shame that they didnt seem to care though. I've heard alot on the news lately about children dying that had been overlooked by docs, very very sad. I've just started a vegie garden too!

Noni - Lucky you! I'm keeping my eyes open for a decent nappy bag as well, let me know how this one goes for you.

Hey I'm another ex childcare worker here! All this talk about childcare is scaring me though. I've just finished completing Maddies enrolement form, she will be attending two full days a wk, Mon & Tues. God I'm so in two minds about it, but at the end of the day, we really have no choice, we really need some extra money. I feel terribly guilty. I've filled out the form about 'telling us more about your baby' and I put pls dont rock/pat to sleep, trying to enourage her to sleep on her own. However now I'm thinking they will just let her cry it out....which is not what i want at all. How do I explain that I just want her put down with the dummy to see how she goes, but if she is not settling, they can pick her up and soothe her? Does that sound silly? Will they even have that much time to spend on my child when they have heaps of other babies to tend to? This whole childcare bizzo is really starting to upset me.

On another note, Maddie and I went to a friends house tonight to catch up with all the girls. As I arrived a couple of them were on their way to the bottle o to get some drinks, they pulled up next to me, and tried to get me to get in the car and just place Maddie on my lap!!!! Absolute madness, and i'm actually quite peeved about it, do they really think I'd be stupid enough to do such a thing!?

Is any one else noticing the whole 'whoa I dont know who this person is' freak out? The last wk or so Maddie has been bursting into tears if someone she doesnt know too well picks her up. Poor bub, she gets so worked up, she's even getting tears down her face. Another reason why i'm worrying about childcare.

I know i've missed personals on alot of you, I hope you are all well and that your lovely babies are being little angels for you!
