amy - i'll join you on the tired front! what happened last night? i know of a few bubbas that normally sleep pretty well that decided to be wakeful little vegemites! E wasn't crying or anything - just refused to sleep more than a few minutes at a time... ahh well - maybe i'm in for a better night tonight... wishful thinking

Bella - don't let anyone tell you not to share your positive mummy moments. this week it's your turn to have something to be proud of - next week, someone else might have something they're extremely happy with - are they to hush up in case they upset you? damn!! if we all kept our good mummy moments to ourselves in here, it would be one very dreary thread!

Naomi - i hope some day soon your IL's will work out that, even though they're being facetious, those comments can hurt - esp for a BF mummy! it's so hard to know how much your baby is getting, and no matter how confident you feel, those comments will cause niggling doubts - tell your MIL to go take a flying leap next time! or maybe say "he eats what i eat - so the only way i starve him is if you don't feed me right" and give her a backhanded insult lol had to giggle at the "good boy" to your DH's burp! i've done that to DH as well - our usual comment is "better out than in 'ay Donkey" - can you tell we like Shrek (DH and his bestie used to be called Shrek and Donkey on the CB's at work lol)

must away - DH on the phone
