Miss E - wtg Ash!!!

Heva - I think we all know how you feel re not having the time! Don't know about the teething, sorry, hopefully it doesn't take too long to pop thru.

jetta - blimey!

storm - it's difficult, isn't it? it just seems so cliched too. I dunno. I fully appreciate that DH brings home the money, and that he has a hard, stressful job, and that what I do might seem like a bit of walk in the park sometimes, but... And I do NOT want to go down the same path that so many other new parents seem to go down, including some we know personally. harrumph!

AFM - Zac has done a couple of awesome night-time sleeps (I'm terrified that I've jinxed it now), but daytime naps are a real struggle. He gets tired and grizzly, but settling him is difficult more often than not. Today we've had one good sleep, plus one which involved 5-10 mins of yelling before he finally nodded off, and then he woke up crying too. Just waiting to see now if he will self settle into this nap, but it's not sounding promising... I'm a little worried as one ear seems to be a bit more waxy than usual and he has rubbed it a couple of times, although he doesn't seem otherwise worried about it. The little girl next door had an ear infection recently...

hmm. might take him to the Dr tomorrow just in case. Although the in-laws arrive tomorrow too!

hugs all round - I reckon we all need and deserve them right now!
