hell yes people lie!!!
i remember mentioning this even when our bubs were really little
my theory is that they think that whether their child sleeps or not is a reflection on them as parents- WTF!!
its nearly as bad as their thinking that their children are clever because they walk early or crawl early!
man there is so much pressure on us as parents let alone the extra pressure that we put on ourselves
man i am philosophic tonight!
boof just fed off me for 2 hours straight just now- my boobies are sore !! plus he is teething BAD - lets hope he sleeps more than the 45 mins he usually does at this hour of the night before he wants another feed lol
Haha Olive - I have one exactly the same! If there is one thing in the whole room that she could break, she makes a beeline for it. I think she can sense glass from the other end of the house
We turned Miss J a couple of weeks back as friends needed our baby capsule and she has been better in the car. I would have like to have kept her longer but with DD1 forward facing I think she wanted to be the same. She would scream whenever we were getting in the car but she's fine now.
Thanks for all the well wishes, just popped on to post the poem I wrote for Milana's first anniversary (it was pointless watching the clock all night, though I may as well be productive).
Not trying to make anyone cry (but most of my friends did):
One Year Gone.
Today, we should be celebrating, that Milana is one,
Not mourning, the sad fact, that she is gone.
Every minute, of every day, she is on my mind,
My daughter, a stronger bond, you just can’t find.
Stolen memories, of growing up, getting bigger each day,
My mind’s eye, more beautiful, as should be the way.
In dreams, we are happy, she’s in my embrace,
As I wake, harsh reality, is so hard to face.
Cruel life, took her away, right at the start,
True cycle, meant that we, should never once part.
One day, in the future, forever will be born,
I will, hold her again, no more to mourn.

Been at work last couple days so Happy Birthdays to those I have missed, Leon yesterday, Heidi today.
Sleep wise Emily is good (touch wood) so different to Ash. Unless she is teething or unwell she will do 11-12 hours now. And people do lie, I even used to lie a bit with Ash just because I did not need to hear crap how the "should" be doing this or that. Sometimes I wonder why mums IRL can't just support each other like we do here. Good friend of mine son is nearly 2 and he often wakes at night still, she just goes with the flow, yes she would love him to sleep thru and in his own bed everynight but if it doesn't happen why should all these other people get upset by it.
Had my girls at the health centre today also. Nai, Emily is so close to J. Em weighs 9.1 and length 74. Ash at the same age was exact same length but weighed 8.6.
Meg, Holly, Olive- are you all better with the illnesses you all had?
