Pregpan - OH NO poor Noah, that sounds terrible for the poor little thing. And not to mention the worry and sleepless nights for you! I hope he gets well soon. Maddie had a gastro bug from daycare at one stage too and it seemed to go within a couple of days, hope Noah's is the same. Also dont worry about being 'self absorbed', we are all as worried as you are.

Gracie - I agree, anyone who can look after a bub and the house on their own is a champion! I need all the support I can get as I tend to be a stress head lol. Hope your DH is home soon!

Jazmum - I feel a bit bad admitting that yes my Maddie does sleep straight though and rarely has a rough night. Touch wood. Now she's gonna be up all night for me isnt she?! We havent had much teeth action yet though. Maddie has always been an excellent sleeper since 5 weeks, I bet the second child will get me.

Renee - As long as I dont go back to FT work we should be right for the baby bonus and I dont see myself going back FT for many yrs. More than half our wage goes on the mortgage too and we certainly arent rich lol. Glad to hear the night terrors havent made a second appearance. Rory is doing so well drinking from a glass and I think the baby juices are quite diluted with water anyway? I agree, as long as he is getting some fluids seeing as he isnt touching his milk.

Noni - Wow another glass drinker, thats excellent. Go the cloth nappies. I still cant see the gallery I want to check out Asha's pics!

Agnes - Sorry to hear about your crash, thats so scary.

MD - YAY going home!!!! Here I was thinking home for you is NZ but I think I'm getting confused with Arte lol.

Sherie - What are Alisters tummy pains from? Dinner? Sounds not nice.
