well last night was better but still not good lol we had 3 wake ups.. and one she actually drank a bottle.. which is good because shes not drinking more than about 160mls at a time atm but i think i might need some quicker flowing teats on these new bottles atm she has the cross cut ones but i am not sure about them seems to take a very long time for her to drink a bottle...
renee - i think i missed the choking incident too?? my friends bub is constantly choking on his own drool!! i wouldnt have thought it could happen but he does..
pregpan - i hate it when asha gags lol she does it when she dosnt like something little bugger!!!
cally - asha has been a bit constipated too we use paw paw cream for nappy rash and it works really well!!

Hi all, thanks for your support. Am hanging in here, had only 3 hrs sleep last night. I didn't post in here yesterday because I was holding my breath. I'd had an idea, thought maybe E was having a recurrence of reflux. Dosed her on Zantac on Tues night and she slept right through until 2, got up for an hour then slept through to 7.30. I thought Woohoo I've finally worked it out. However it seems like it was just a freak occurrence. She was up again most of the night last night. Slept only between 3 and 6. Well actually I settled her back to sleep probably a dozen times between midnight and 3 but she just keeps waking up 5, 10, 15, 20 mins later. I'm hanging on the brink of doing controlled crying. Last night DH had the freaking nerve to whine to me on the phone about how hard he's working on his two week all expenses paid tour of Turkey, I swear if I don't speak to him again until he gets home it won't be too soon. Oh and to cap it all off AF arrived (probably explaining my depression earlier this week) and it's a humdinger. Had to dig my leftover maternity pads out of the cupboard. Ok, well she's asleep now so I'm off to bed. Not sure if I'll BBl for personals but I'm reading and thinking of you all. xxx

PS oh and she's crawling, now, properly sometimes but also a combo of rolling, crabbing sideways and sliding commando-style around on her tum. Roving around the family room picking at all the bits of fluff off the carpet. Poor Boston Fluffychops doesn't know what's hit him LOL.

ohhh md i hope u get a good sleep now while shes sleeping!! its awful when they just keep waking!! do u think it could be teething? ashas been like that since her teeth started coming through.. maybe a dose of nurofen before bed?? bah men winge about everything dont they!! dp was complaining last night about how tired he was etc etc when just that morning i was in tears over having no sleep.. he just sleeps through when she has a bad night!!

Renee, are you o.k? Hope you can sort it out. I have been on the brink of ending it a couple of times since W was born, it isn't a very nice situation to be in. How is your aunt?

MD, hope you got a decent nap while E was sleeping. Noni could be on the right track with teeth, maybe they are on their way? Maybe a dose of nurofen is a good idea anyways, won't hurt her but might buy you a bit more sleep?

Art - That helps to know someone has gone through it. Its the first time I have told anyone that things are not 'perfect'. Im trying to cover up the fact that things arent great to everyone else. I dont want anyone to think im a failure. When its good its great, when its bad its horrible. We werent like this before Rory was born and yet he was the best thing to happen to both of us...
My Aunty is still waiting on her results! They were meant to be in by Monday, JESUS you think they would put a rush on a test like that!!

MD- I hope once AF p!sses off you will be feeling a bit better. Ever watch Futurama? (If you havent stop reading coz ill sound nutty) I soooo wish every mother had one of those brain reader hats that the professor put on Gunta the monkey hehe. If DH complains again tell him you will go on the tour of Turkey while he stays home with the girls But seriously, I hope things settle down for you on the E front. Oh and she sounds like she is really getting around now. What a clever champ!

hey renee - big hugs - you are having an awful time at the moment... i hope you can sort things out with DH. are you guys getting any time alone? it is such an adjustment having a bub isnt it and all the pressures it brings - not to mention all the additional stress you guys are under with your aunt and dwayne's uncle (??) etc. Thinking of you - can always vent to us here you know (the benefits of online friendships)
MD - you sound a bit happier - i didnt realise DH was away (again) right now, we are like the single married women of canberra! i think my Dh knows if he DARED to complain aboiut working hard... the locks would be changed...clever miss E!!!
Noni - hope Asha is doing ok with her teeth, N is having a bad day bc of them.
hi to everyone else.
