Jaz:
I find to keep Alex in bed during those odd hours is to use his fave DVD's & eventually he will take himself off to sleep.
Charlotte is a beautiful name & I agree that it goes nicely with William.
I've almost finished the Fed UP with ADHD book & am thinking bout getting the plain 'Fed Up' one. I've been on their website & am even thinking about finding a dietician who can help us other than just using the "additvies to avoid" ... which I have started & it does make a difference. Alex isn't running as much at FDC now.

PP:
Awesome to hear your FDC news. Personally, I wouldn't be telling her that you will put the new baby in with her as that is further down the track & when it comes time, you may not go with that option. I think you should keep it as bried & current as possible. Good luck.

Rainy:
I love Lily!, though I would use it as a short version for Lilian.

Arty:
W's tanty!, LOL, totally understand. Jack does them on a regular basis. When it gets too much for me I pick him up & put him in the cot. Though he is at the stage where he does throw things during them.

MD:
I do have a counsellor down here that I saw breifly last year. The inital cost isn't the best but with a medicare rebate it does become rather cheap. I still have some sessions with him the Dr mentioned & we are keeping that avenue opened.

Clare:
Glad to hear both you & your cat are on the mend.

Jack must be loving daycare as the last two days when I have pulled up he starts to get all excited. Alex isn't but then he hasn't left my side since Sunday night (when I threw up cause I was so nausious from these tablets). Maybe I should reassure him that "mummy's okay".

I'm in a few minds at the moment. & its a bit hard cause I haven't said anything to anyone, but I am thinking of moving back to Brisbane. 1. my job is there 2. alex misses his father 3. now these tablets are kicking in i feel i'm ready 4. i have just found a good nutrician clinic there ... 1. i'm getting life here 2. the boys have a life here & have friends in FDC (& preschool if Alex goes there) 3. the health system is better here for help 4. i just went back on meds
I don't mind talking bout it in here, more of an unbiased atmosphere I guess you could say .. its harder talking to my friends about it cause most of them want me back in Bris anyway ... god, i'm rambling
