LF - at the evil dictator! and poor you with DP hobbling around. i'm glad you mentioned a wonder week - i was wondering if we are having one as well. the chiro sounds good, do you think it did anything for the irritability? as for christmas...we haven't thought what we'll get for corey but DP's mum has bought clothes, books & a fisher price toy where you put the shapes through matching holes - does that make sense?! my parents have bought another fisher price toy - one with blocks for stacking. i guess we might get some similar things? some more books probably & some toys i guess - definitely a ball of some description? so hard when they're too young to know what's really going on!

jas - arlea sounds so cute, and funny! must be hilarious to watch!! did you manage to convince your DH to pull apart the cot?

jess - glad to hear that anton got the all clear at the doctors.

MamaPan - no 8 hours sleeps here either! did your moogoo arrive yet? i love ours - we have the scalp cream & the msm cream. enjoy your trip to the beach next week - sounds like we're going to have some nice weather on mon/tues (now i hope i'm remembering right & you're in melb!)

cate - 8hrs sounds fab! i hope zac makes it a regular thing for you! we have trouble getting corey to sleep as well - no matter how early he goes down, it usually seems to end in crying unless he feeds to sleep

jetta - hope those lovely long sleeps are continuing for you!

ss_storm - wtg hayley on the rolling! did she get a fright the first time she did it?

we're feeling much better here, thank you for all the get well wishes! i thought i was sleep deprived before i got sick but i felt so bad that i realised that i'd actually got used to less than 6 hours sleep a night & that i feel quite okay with that amount of sleep!

i'm not sure whether it's just because he's been sick or whether maybe a wonder week (although seems to be the wrong time for it?) but since last week corey is back to waking every 2 hours during the night. he still has a bit of a blocked/runny nose so maybe he just gets thirsty...but i'd be happy for him to go back to his first stretch of 5 or 6 hours each night! just when you think they're in a routine...
