Hi guys,

Meg, oh no! Sounds terrible! How is she today? How are you coping? Big hugs.

Kaz - I sympathise on the taking hours to settle at night. I too sit there going "Teeth? Developmental? Hungry?" We've reached a point where we just have to let her CIO, as much as it breaks my heart. There is nothing wrong with her - she doesn't want anything - she just doesn't want to sleep. Hang in there!

Shell - I reckon I'm about 75% done with presents, purchased, not wrapped though yet! I have to take 4 of them back already though as I've since found out they are things the recipients already have. A bit annoying!

Isabel doesn't follow me yet - she's more of an explorer, so I am following her most of the time! We're trying to teach her what isn't ok to touch (eg wine rack, DVDs and player, cat litter!) so we don't have to move everything. My theory is that other people will have these things in their houses so she needs to learn what's off limits! That's the theory anyway!

As for her sleep, she generally only has two day sleep and the last one is anytime between 1pm and 3pm - but she's always awake by 4.30pm.

Nai - sounds pretty full on, you poor thing. They are gorgeous when they want cuddles but not when they just want to be held all the time! 7 teeth! We only have the one so far!!

Not much else news. Had a full on weekend so am exhausted but on the bright side we started telling people we are expecting again. Reactions were funny - some people guessed it straight away when I said something like "we have news" or "guess what?" but other people were really shocked that we'd go for number 2 so soon.

Oh well!

Hope everyone else is going well! I'm going to grab some lunch and do some dishes while DD is asleep...
