Hi Girls!

Sorry that it's been awhile...I thought to have a one on one day with Leila so didnt go to work and took the phone off the hook and ignored the computer. She was hysterical last night, i think the recovery from the virus took its toll. she seems alot better today and slept like a little trooper twice!! (normally we only get catnaps during the day). hopefully she will sleep better tonight. since she was sick we have been doing the midnight mayhem dance that extends to 5am!!

Speaking of sleep, MD glad that you are going to QEII. I think its a great move and brave! I know i found it hard to admit defeat....I was reading an article in a parenting magazine (not sure if i can mention its name in here??) and they had an article written by a tresillian worker and suppousedly they do more 'attachement' style of sleep school...maybe they have some resources that you can get? although i guess this could be information overload!!

And Cally: woo hoo on the sleep last night. it's great knowing they can do it! even if it's not every night, the fact they can is sometimes just the boost you need!

Renee: you are definitely speaking to the converted girl! But I am sorry that it's pretty tough ATM. and yeah, there is some solidarity in knowing that there are others going through or have been going through rough times. DH and I had some pretty yuck times when leila was first born - not helped by the fact that i had PND.
I agree with the other girls that have mentioned it, you two need couple time. one of the best things a midwife at John James told me when i had leila was that these babies want a happy family with happy parents and if that means that mum and dad need time together without bub to sort things out and have some R&R then that's whats got to happen. i always remembered that and we have tried our best...not easy when there is no family around to help out tho!

Sherie: Hhhhm on the endo thing. I have posted in another thread about the endo as I think (ghastly thought) that mine is returning too. i was hoping for a bit of a break (being preg and not having pain for the first time in years was sooo liberating!). and also it makes me worried about any future bubs that we may want to have as getting leila was really tough!
Also, we have now got mice. my cat had one tonight but i couldnt bear her to torture it slowly so i chased it down and put it in a box and ran down the road with it...i'm sure the people living down the road arent too impressed LOL!

anyway best be off as this is turning out to be a thesis...
