Ah I should get around to googling that guy too. Last night was a bit ordinary. Fed at 6:30pm, 9:15pm, 1am, 3:15am. Woke at about 5am but got DP to resettle him. Woke again at 7am and fed then too and then he was up. I went to bed at 11pm but was woken every half hour until the 1am feed then woken 2 hourly after that So sick of feeling tired.
Ali - Too late for this house. DP likes cricket but he hates just sitting in front of the telly so he has it constantly on the radio in the background but he can do other stuff while listening (just gets distracted if there's a wicket ) I am sure DS will be schooled in all the finer points of test and one day games as soon as he's old enough.
I was thinking about your comment on DD's toys and what to do for her birthday - you could always tell people she has enough toys for now but that you're starting an education fund and ask them to donate or deposit the money they would have spent on a toy. Even $10 or $20 from each friend/family member will add up and if it's in a long term high interest account for a few years it will grow. Just a thought. for you being so bored too!! I remember when you were pg and you cleaned underneath the washing machine
Nai - Hope that evil smell has left your dishwasher! It's the same in this house - DS won't settle for me at night, just wants to feed. DP has much more luck.
Shell/Olive - I had a day too re: not enough help from DP. He's great generally but he doesn't see kitchen mess or washing up AT ALL. I feel a bit like the kitchen maid slave at times cause he leaves stuff everywhere and can't even be arsed to pack the dishwasher at times. I can wash up 3 or 4 times a day easy and I hate it with passion. Anyway - think the message got through. Hope it lasts (it never does though).
OP - Good on you for going to the wedding. So glad you had fun. Hope DD is feeling better soon and that tooth comes through. I am so scared of teeth. We have enough sleep trouble here and DS doesn't even have any teeth yet and isn't even close!! All late on both sides of the family - my brother was about 12 months old before he got his first tooth so we're on track to do the same with DS.
Holly - Is there any way you can start to leave DS for short periods now to get him used to it? Come and go from the room he's in so he knows that when you disappear, you come back and then build up to leaving him for 30mins, an hour etc so that it's not such a shock to be left for 5 hours. That's just MHO anyway. Good luck with the house hunting!! It is a lot of fun, don't let it stress you out - the exact right house is out there waiting for you guys.
Shell - Back to work Yucko. But the money will be nice!
For those of you leaving home tomorrow, have fun shopping girls!! I got out alone today to do the grocercies NOT!!! with every other resident of this town after NY day.
We've got a mate coming to stay for a few days tomorrow. He's a bit self centred and drinks an awful lot so it should be interesting (or perhaps not, just hard work?).
