Fuzzy - so sorry to hear the doc thinks Graves... my sis has that. Happy half-b'day to Chloe, that's so cute a new noise on her b'day. I think i have hte opposite problem need to give Annika more solids.

Connie - you did go through a lot, i'm so glad he's going well now - a well-earned reward I reckon. You've done such a good job.

Dory - your little HB sounds like such a cutie, maybe she'll be musical?

As those on FB saw, Annika has 2 teeth now, I'm amazed. I know X didn't get his till later than this. My hips are playing up at the moment, a bit of the problems I had when I was PG are coming back I'm so bummed about it. I really wanna lose some weight but instead I'm now worried about managing everything while DH's back is still bad (way worse than mine). arrrgh. I was chatting to my family daycarer on thurs cos the redundancy has been confirmed, but DH's vertigo has also come back a bit... and she said well i've got a place, you could put Annika in for a day to give you a break/some time to get stuff done. I had a minor (ok major) freakout at the thought... I mean... she's so little! But then we talked about it all weekend and we've decided we'll take the place. She won't start till after easter. It's a massive decision for me as I'd never planned to put her in care before 1yo... much less the day I got made redundant! But the last 6 months have been pretty hellish with DH being sick all the time, and we don't have much back-up with my mum interstate and his mum can't lift the kids - so can't help out much either.

So I've gotta get her onto a sippy cup now... and I'm still having freakout moments about it, but I think it's the right thing for us right now. DH and I really need to try look after our health and we're so under the pump all the time, it makes it tough. Not to mention all the bloody cooking I'm doing at present. Anyway, I asked the daycarer how they go with separation anxiety at this age... and she said who's anxiety - hers or yours. hahaha. Anyway, I haven't told many folks this, but wanted to share with you guys. I don't know whether it's the decision or just everything, but I'm feeling pretty flat today. Just sick of DH or me having something physically going wrong. See you guys say I'm supermum which is so sweet but I so don't feel like it. I'm just too busy and too frazzled and I should be doing my online grocery shopping now cos I was too sore to do it in person .
