Hi girls,

Det - So glad your DD is on the mend. Must have been horrible not to be there for her the whole time.
Meg - Great that you got a spot for J!
Malyna - Hun I don't think you're lazy at all! Far from it - hope I didn't give you that impression from my post. DS only put on 30g between 7-8 months but he did grow a little in length. If A is moving heaps that's where the energy is going.
Olive - I hope M is sleeping longer for you soon. I am still feeding J to sleep overnight and sometimes in the evenings. He has started falling asleep on the boob too once or twice lately which is strange cause he hardly ever did it when he was a newborn even.
Heaven - Your DD is so cool!! I can't believe she is walking already. DS isn't even crawling yet!!
Kailani - Happy Birthday hun!! Hope you have a great day and got a good nights sleep last night. And on resigning. That's so cool. I am very jealous!
Ali - How are you going hun? Haven't seen you round much in BB. Hope the return to work this week went ok.
Pinny - Glad you had a good time away.
Nai - Yay on 12 hours! I hope it is the start of a new (long term) routine but I know you can't get your hopes up.

AFU - DS slept a 7 hour stretch the night before last. Its the longest he's done for over 2 months. Of course, I waited up for a while expecting him to wake but I still got a couple of 3.5 hour blocks of sleep. Last night was back to the usual but that's ok. It's looking like I might need to put him into long day care earlier than I wanted to in order to secure the days I want for when I return to work. I'm not going back for a couple of months but if they get others wanting the days before then we'll need to make some deicsions! I didn't want to put him in before he was 12 months old. There's also the cost to think about too. On the other hand, the thought of being able to put him in care and have some time to myself (to sleep probably!!!) before I go back to work is really tempting too Aside from DP every now and then, I've only ever left him with my parents once for 3 hours.
