lol OP! Congrats on your blue bundle!! The willy is a bit like a fire hose when they're newborn and they seem to wee on cue once the nappy comes off. At least that's what DS did and the middies in hossy told us to expect it so I figure they see it a fair bit. We found that having lots of cheap face washers on hand to put over the "hose" while wiping and getting the next nappy under worked really well. You'll still get wee'd on a fair bit though It does get better with time too. Are you using cloth? If you've got pre-folds we found we had to experiment with the fold cause he kept weeing out the sides too. It's very exciting and you'll get to go shopping all over again for boy clothes! Can completely understand how you feel about work. I kind of feel the same and I'm not even back yet!

Heaven - DS still has two day sleeps but it does vary fairly regularly - if we're out anywhere he won't sleep at all so the other day he was awake from 8:30am to 4pm How he stayed happy I don't know! Other days he mucks around with the afternoon sleep so can still do 40 min catnaps (usually 2) instead of a decent sleep.

Ali - Oh hun that must have been so hard to leave DD when she was upset. I am dreading putting DS into care for that reason - the adjustment stage is hard. He already doesn't sleep well when I'm out and he's with DP. Try to relax as much as you can because she'll pick up on your anxiety. Easier said than done I know.

to all those with sleep issues. I feel your pain. DS is typically waking frequently through the evenings, needing lots of resettling then from about 11pm he wakes every 2 hours or so until about 5am and then he'll sleep until 8am. Every now and then we get a good night with only one or two wake ups and I think they are helping with the tiredness.

We had our dog put down yesterday. It's very sad. We buried her during a thunderstorm on our block yesterday. So fitting - she hated the thunder when she could still hear it! She was about 14 years old and was like part of the family. It's so strange in the house with her gone.

Well we're off on a holiday tomorrow so I won't be in for a week or so. Have a good one girls - hope they all start sleeping and stop teething soon!! xoxox
