Morning everyone!

Well guess what, I had a crap night!!!!! The first in a long time and when you're used to 10 hours straight it's a killer really. Makes me realise even more how lovely the sleep throughs are. Not sure if it was something I ate yesterday - I did have cabbage, a growth spurt or the full moon but Amelia woke up at 2.30 am, I popped the dummy back in her mouth as her eyes were still closed but she kept waking up, I tried this a few times for an hour and then put her in our bed which I haven't done in ages, she didn't really sleep properly though, every time the dummy came out she woke up. So at 5.30 am I gave up and got up, she's had a bottle and is now in her rocker blowing friggin raspberries!!!! I feel shattered, funny how we get used to sleep again so quickly. Oh well, hopefully that was a one off for this week. I'm really glad you had such a great night with Abbey though and 12.5 hours is fine, Amelia's done that before. Her average is 9 hours but I get 10-12 every few days or so. Fingers crossed you get another like that tonight!

Well, it's going to be 41 here in Perth, it's 6.00 am and already warm out there. DH has taken the day off to go on the boat fishing with his dad, idiot! He said it's cooler out on the water but I was trying to explain that yes but the sun is still blaring the same. As he walked out the door I heard, I'm not 12. Anyway, we'll see how he goes....I think the'yre idiots personally and besides, as I said to him last night, it would be nice if you could have a day off to spend with us. Bloody men honestly! lol

Hi Beany - yes Amelia likes the flashing heart on the puppy too, I showed it to her last night and she smiled, will get it out again today. And yes, BS is right, the Wonder Weeks says it's fussy time so I think our bubs are just being normal......Amelia hasn't been fussy with her food but her sleeping has definitely changed both day and night the last few days with last night and the 2 nights before that waking at 4.00 am. Hope it's over soon so we can get back to our usual ha ha.

Hi BS - you're so good with the exercise, I so wanted to go for a regular walk but it's just been too hot, we're in the high 30's until late next week here in West Aus, not bad considering Summer finishes on Sunday! I did walk around the shops for a couple of hours after the movies yesterday so that counts for something, I try and walk fast too, probably looks funny but I don't care. As for the movies, they have the lights dimmed but not off as usual and the sound is supposedly turned down but we all found it quite loud, not sure if it's because we're not used to it or not but Amelia was fine with it after the initially sound blared out. Your'e right though, action movies could be too much I think. They had a promo for another movie coming out with Jennifer Lopez about her getting pregnant when single by a donor and then meeting someone, it looks hilarious, definitely one for us girls to see! Can't wait till it's on at mums and bubs movies.

Hi Suz - ha ha would be rather difficult with a toilet training toddler, there were a few girls with bubs and toddlers but I assumed they were in nappies. I only heard one little one crack the poops and get dragged out by mum.....guess we've got all that to look forward to! I did wonder if it's harder to take the bubs the older they get as they are more awake etc. I'll keep at it until it gets too hard.

How awful is this story about the little girl who was murdered in Bundaberg, I've noticed since having Amelia even though it would've saddened me before you don't really relate to it until you have your own child and it makes you feel sooooo sad for the parents. Poor little girl.

Hope everyone else had a better night than moi!
