Hi Alison - that's really tricky about your rings. What to do?? Maybe wait another couple of months to see if you lose any more retained fluid. Hope you had a nice stroll with the pram.

Hi Willow - thanks for the tip on the grobags. So Harry gave up the thumb huh? Every now and then I catch Matilda sucking her thumb. I wish she'd do it more and give my boobs a break!

Hi Beany - what a drama with the immunisations. But what a little trooper Michael is. Can you go to your pediatrician for a second opinion? It would be worthwhile for peace of mind. I used to be convinced there was something wrong with one of Matilda's eyes (and was worried it was something to do with that time she spat her medication out and it ran into her eye). It seemed smaller and shut a bit more slowly at times. But it seems OK now.

AFM - It has been a very spewy and pooey day today. I think it might have something to do with the immunisations. But Matilda seems her usual self other than that. How bizarre - my baby monitor just started playing the theme to Underbelly. It must be picking up the tv transmission somehow. I'm still struggling to get Matilda to take anything more than 40 minute naps during the day most days. I read in the no-cry sleep solution book they should be getting about 5 hours of day time naps. Ha!! It's weird how obsessed you can get about sleep. I think I probably harp on about it. And poor DH bore the brunt of it at 1am this morning. It had taken me an hour to resettle Matilda and I'd just gone back to bed when he started calling out in his sleep (apparently he was dreaming that vampires had come for Matilda). Then he decided to throw himself out of bed grunting and making the bed squeak and the floor boards groan which woke Matilda up well and truly. So I bit the bullet and just decided to give her another feed. She's just getting sleepy when he gets back from the loo and throws himself in bed making all of the above sounds again and wakes her up again. Argh!!! At this point I let my displeasure be known. And then I lay awake for another hour feeling guilty for snapping at him. Well, I think I'm going to get myself off to bed in case we have resettling issues again. Sleep well everyone.
