jasp - that sounds hilarious, little monkey rolling around like that!

ryatha - oh you poor thing. interesting coincidence - I can't imagine that cutting down on snacks would make that much of a difference though. I hope ABA can come up with some useful advice.

sarah - that's a good idea re the first aid course. I might bring it up with my mothers' group cos I have been feeling a bit naughty for not having done one yet. The other day Zac had a bit of a cough and splutter and went all red in the face and I got a bit panicky, so should really do something constructive about it.

BekZ - I reckon it's good that Eva was happy to take the formula - it will give you a bit of peace of mind I suppose? My nephew refused to take any bottles and I remember how awful it was for my sister to have to BF through a bout of gastro

AFM - Melbourne Cup day today so DH was home from work although he had to work yesterday. It's always nice to have him home, however we seem to end up arguing a bit lately - he wants to have some 'personal time' and while I sympathise with that I can't help feeling a bit resentful as it seems like I get no personal time whatsoever - the times that DH does take Z and I can go and do something it's always something highly exciting like the groceries! I love my bubba and DH to bits, but it's a huge adjustment from being independent to having to constantly consider somebody else kwim?

Even though Z is sleeping fairly well most nights I am feeling soooo tired. I just want one 8-hour stretch of blissful, unbroken sleep hahaha. So I'm off to bed now - nighty night every one!
