Try again....

Alison, I'm really glad things went OK with the girl from the UK. You didn't need added stress. I can really understand how it must have felt to have to leave the funeral on your own, but grief is a funny thing and what people would normally do goes out the window. Sounds like everything has gone back to normal though which is great.

BS, I'm guessing you're still having a bit of a hard time. Its soooo hard when they won't stop crying and you can't put them down. Just remember the bad phases come but they also go. And BTW you're looking stunning and I know your DH would think so too. Don't worry if you don't feel up to DTD for awhile. DH will totally understand. Eva is a project your in together and he wouldn't be thinking twice about it.

Willow - I hope the evening screaming sessions are quieting down. I've had a few this week myself (while we had visitors!) and they're not fun. I noticed a toy bar in one of your pics that sits over them on the floor. Where did you get it? It looks great.

Carmey - hope Jack has still been sleeping well so you could get that job done.

AFM - It has been a really full on week. Matilda has been really unsettled and has been really difficult to get to sleep during the day. One day she only slrpt for a few 5 minute intervals anf was hysterical by the end of the day from overtiredness. We've had friends in town which was absolutely fantastic but it meant things were a bt out of kilter right on the heels of the immunisations. And our visitors really got to see Matilda's dark side. Hope she didn't put them off a second baby.

Had our 6 week pediatrician visit (but was really 7 weeks), Matilda weighs pretty much exactly 5 kg now whic is aboout average. Nothing average about her determination though. Talked a lot about self settling. He recommended we start sooner rather than later when they can sit up and shake the cot bars at you! We still need to get our act together on routines before we try self-settling. I dont want to confuse her too much.

Also had my post-natal check up. And it emerged that DH isn't fussed about contraception and could go a second time as soon as it happens. Gulp!!!! My body aint ready for that let me tell you. Has killed my re-emerging libido LOL!!!

Anyway thinking of everyone. Hope all those busy MIA gals are doing OK.
