It does make it easier to cope after a rough night when they are smiling and happy - they are at a much cuter age now. And despite lotsa spewing - it is often done through a smile or talking so that is often funny too.
Ozstar - I'm glad you got some sleep - my hubby does that some saturday mornings too which is nice. We were going to get a really little kiddy pool but given it is so hot here we got a slighty larger one (10ft across and when sitting in it comes up to shoulders) so we can all enjoy to some extent. The power went off here this morning and with a top temp of 41degrees and a min of 26 expected I was glad we had the pool for the daytime. Cause when the evap cooler and fans go off doesn't take long to warm up. Thankfully it came back on before an hour was up :-)

RV vaccine may not have been around a few years ago but then the virus wasn't much of a problem then either. Just as meningococcal never used to be as big a problem but now that risk has increased vaccine is now recommended. Would have been the same for all the others at one stage or another. While RV is a gastro - it is not your normal everyday gastro...more of a MEGA version and they have put the vaccine on the schedule as the risk has increased and as always with bubs immune systems still developing they are more likely to catch it.
JordieC - not on solids yet and planning on waiting till the 6months at this stage - she seems pretty happy with booby milk and stacking it on. Though she is getting more interested with what is on my plate these days
