Hi ladies. Sorry I've been quiet, Emily had her needles the Friday before last and we've had a horrible week! Very upset and hardly any sleep. She never reacted to the other needles, and neither of my boys reacted like that for any of their needles either - if anything they slept more after them! I've also been so flat out with my foster cats - at one stage I had 23 cats here (6 of my own + 17 foster cats). I am back down to 19 in total now.

Cinder, sorry you're having a hard time with DD1, hope it's a phase that passes quickly. What are you thinking of studying?

vic, hope the conjunctivitis has cleared up okay, poor Jack.

Andie, your little guy must be such a wee little thing! My boys were always around 97% on the charts! And it's all new to me having Emily around the 50% mark. I guess you would be getting good use out of all his clothes?! Emily is in 00 and 0. Sometimes I squeeze her into a 000 depending on what it is. Our pram didn't come with carrycot/chair attachments, it just had 3 positions - flat, midway and sitting. We've been using the sitting position a bit lately, but she is still facing me so I can keep on eye on if she's slipping down!

We've had a few day sleeps in the cot. It's hard work though as it takes her longer to settle than what she actually sleeps for. DH takes the easy way out when he's home and puts her to bed in the bassinet and he wraps her too! Then brags to me that he got her to sleep haha! Yes... by undoing the hard work I do while he's at work!! No plans to start solids here yet, she doesn't seem to be ready at all. We have fully weaned from expressing though. I expressed for the last time last week. It's bitter sweet - yay for no more pumping, but I did imagine I'd have all the time in the world to breast feed for longer with my big boys at school but with her tongue tie and the week in hospital having bottles.. it wasn't to be. She slept through last night for the first time in what seems like forever (has only done it a few times before and hasn't happened for ages) and surprisingly the extra sleep has made me more tired! Haven't stopped yawning all day and even had a nap earlier
