Leemar - Glad to hear you finally got some sleep and that your eyes are on the mend.

Jazmum - I didnt end up getting a humidifier, she is pretty much over her cold now. I am going to keep my eye out for one, being in day care I'm sure during winter she will pick up a few more colds. Maddie loves kicking around in the bath too, water goes absolutely everywhere and I get soaked, but it is so much fun watching her kicking around and laughing. And it tires her out as well, perfect! I saw the solids article in practical parenting, love that mag.

Cally - Yeah the Ikea chairs are like $19.00, they arent much to look at, no colours etc, but I guess it will do the job? I have noticed at day care that they have a stack of them for the babies so if day care are using them, they cant be unsafe or anything I guess.

Fianne - LOVE your wedding idea, sounds like a heap of fun!!! Maddie has been starting to grizzle a bit when I put her to bed and she is the same with the grizzling one night for 15 mins and the next for 5. I just leave her be and she eventually falls asleep, its only if she works herself up that I go and shush her.

Sherie - Lol at Paige and the wiggles, how cute! Have you tried evening primrose oil on Alisters excema? Someone suggested it to me but I wasnt sure if it is safe for babies. I am taking Maddie to the GP on Friday, as it seems to be getting worse and I have noticed some mornings that she has been scratching it over night.

Renee - You lucky duck winning the portrait prize!! Professional photos are so expensive, I am planning on using the pixi photo vouchers that we got in the bounty bag to get a free pic every 6 months. Already done the first and going to collect it today. LOL I may sound like a real stinge, but apparently everyone does it!! My gosh are you dying in the heat this week, its horrible!!! Good news about Rory and his weight, doing well.

Marydean - I officially start uni tomorrow, I'm only doing one unit but I am so nervous about homework. I guess I will just do it at nights when Maddie is in bed, is that what you do too?

Far out I feel like I am constantly go go go...with work/daycare on Mon & Tues and organising everything else during the rest of the week. Not to mention starting uni on Thursdays now. AND looking after a bub! I'm wondering if its just that I have had so much to think about lately with the unit settling (we ran around like mad chooks on the weekend to fix items that the Buyers wanted fixing, only to call sett off on Tuesday because they werent happy with it) and trying to organise myself for uni and get Maddie into the creche. Does everyone else feel this way or have I taken on too much with work and uni??
