hi everyone
Hayley - you are so lucky that Maddie sleeps through for you. Doesn't seem like too much sleep - just the normal amount for a baby . What an afternoon!!!! Were you looking at the funny side of things, or swearing the whole way home!!
Fianne - so glad the car trip was a peaceful one for you both.
Renee - Hannah has days where she is more spewy than others - but she is breast fed so i can put it down to something i've eaten. Maybe if Rory continues to be quite spewy just take him to the docs for a check up. Dwayne has to work long hours doesn't he! Must be so hard to stay awake in the middle of the night like that.
Katie - Glad that everything went well at the doctors.
Noni - hope your feeling better now Don't feel bad that Asha wanted to sleep in her rocker - she obviously feels so safe and secure (due to your wonderful mothering) that she is happy to sleep elsewhere, knowing that you are close by if she needs you.
Re - the showering - the only way i can get a shower in (at least a relaxed one) is if i get up a little before DH's alarm goes off in the morning- at least that way i know that he can get up to Hannah if she cries. Other than that i put her in the rocker in a place where she can see me.
re dtd - my poor dh!!! I have to be honest and say that at the end of the day it is the last thing that is on my mind. I am so exhausted - and i guess breastfeeding - i have the boobenheimers out every couple of hours - and i just do feel 'sexy' at the moment. (i'm getting real jack of wearing a bra constantly as well)
tossing up whether to wake Hannah for a feed right now - fed her at 6pm - or go to sleep now. She could wake up in half an hour for a feed.
Can't remember who asked about buying gifts for 10 year olds - Hayley? I have just ordered a 'mophead' for a friends daughter. It is like a shower cap but is gingham towelling - used to dry your hair when you get out of the shower. I got it on - line at raspberry ripple. Another idea for the older girl could be a gift voucher for a manicure or some lip gloss. High school musical is popular with that age group too - i have seen a board game that you could buy between them. Maybe a calendar for next year. hope that helps
