11 thanks so much for sharing your PND stories - I really admire your strength and it was really beautiful to read how you have come out of such difficult times. I am so glad that things are looking better for you this time, and that you know what to look out for. I must admit that PND is one thing that I have been worried about before I had Noah, and I am certainly on the look out for any signs. I really appreciate your openness to share your story with us all.

Sherie - I love that trick your DH has with A. I will def be trying that out on Noah later LOL!

Do any of you have showers with your little ones? I had a shower with Noah on the weekend and he loved it, and DH had one last night with him and he loved that too - it is the happiest I have seen him, i was waiting for himto giggle with delight!!! (Noah not DH LOL). He likes it a lot more than the bath so that could be a tip for any of you whose bub isnt too keen on the bath...

Well Noah was pretty restless yesterday morning and so I have bought a sling so i can carry him around all day, he just seems to want to be held by me. now the next challenge is working out how to use it LOL. It is an ellaroo ring sling, highly recommended to me by my SIL. I;ll get the hang of it soon i guess. Today he is being quite a lot better and last night he slept quite well - 8.30 feed, then 1am, then 4.00am and then 8ish. thats pretty good for him. I took him for a long walk in the late afternoon and evening and then we met DH for dinner out so i think that tired him out.. may try it again tonight. My mum is in canberra at the moment, she is here for all of oct... but she has a lurgy (sore throat etc) so she has quarantined herself and didnt come around last night and wont tonight... i feel sorry for her she is here to spend time with us and Noah and she cant...i hope she is better tomorrow!
Someone asked about books - I have just read the baby whisperer and i liked that a lot. I also have Babylove which i find SO useful to look up things as they happen (more like an encyclopedia)...i have heard pinky's are good too

Leeann - maybe a new bag and shoes in order for your bday!!! that was good in preg that i could still buy bags and shoes!!
