Rainy, I'm baaaa-ck! Haven't read all the way through the posts so i'm just dying to know what your news is...think i might have guessed ! OMG I'm soooo excited.

Noni, I just wanted to say, I know what that squalor smell is, i've smelt it before and it sticks to everything! It's the smell of really dank dirty energy. Anything you do that brings light and living energy into the house will help, also keep cleaning, open the windows for fresh air as much as you can. If you read up on "space clearing" that will give you some ideas on how to freshen it all up.

Ummm, can't remember anything else just yet, had a pretty good little mental holiday this week. Decided not to go with a baptism frock, bought a cotton bonnet (cute) and we'll also have a little satin stole as that is a catholic thing she can hand along. It's on Sunday, we're going to the snow tomorrow so it will be a big weekend for everyone.

OK - QE2 - amazing experience. Not sure if we've got the sleep thing sorted out but it turns out she had started to loose weight so was probably waking up hungry these last few weeks. I think I've been limiting feeds because of my nipple pain...so feeding more (when the boobies can handle it). Also got some good mental health strategies in place, starting with some regular counselling. I've realised I've got so much pain in my body (left over from the pregnancy) which needs to be processed and let go. Going to see my GP for a referral first because there is now a number of sessions available with a medicare rebate. When I arrived at QE2 I was in a flat panic about DH going away and I feel so much more confident about it all now.

Anyway, will post more as I catch up with personals etc. xxx Missed you all!
