Hi ladies,

Go away for a week and new thread - woooo!

Olive - glad your gastro is gone and you're feeling better! Are you going to reschedule your weekend away?

Nai - yes I know what you mean about jinxing good behaviour. It is so unpredictable ATM... We've got one molar, another on the way. Go Miss J with her running!! Oh and Isabel is in size 4 shoes!!!!

Shell - glad the christening went well! Interesting about them all being older than Em... we did DD at 6mths!

Det - I miss you! Sounds like craziness at your place ATM. Will have to catch up properly soon hun!

Lilima - how is DS?? Hope the tummy pain has settled

I'm sure there was more but I can't see back to the other thread...

AFU: I had a big argument with my sister on Thursday night.., basically centred around the fact that I was considering putting DD into child care for this Thurs (tomorrow) and next, because I think my sis is struggling to look after three kids (my niece, nephew and DD). First of all she accused me of being a selfish mother by putting myself first (as I'd said it was getting too hard for us taking DD out to her house three times a week) and I was not considering DD and what was best for her, then she said that I'm basically saying she doesn't look after DD well enough when she is at her house.



I told her thanks for supporting my parenting decisions and not judging me at all, walked off and had a good cry. We are very close so it really stung that she would judge me like that... especially when part of it was trying to be relieve some of the pressure on her. Ah well.

Turns out its probably all for nothing anyway as my fantastic in laws are coming home sooner than we'd thought (they've been interstate) and they will be able to take DD again, which is way more preferable than CC.

That was Thurs night... Fri lunch time DH and I went down to my IL's beach house with some friends (and DD of course) for the long weekend, which was sooo much hard work - just because it is my house and I have invited some friends down, does not mean I am the host and am expected to clean up after all of them... I was exhausted by Monday night after having to cook, clean, etc... they all did some of the cooking but basically DH and I had to run around after all of them as well as our DD. So tiring. My back was killing me all the way home and I was stuffed yesterday!

I spent yesterday doing washing - all the new stuff for DD's bed, so we can try and transition her out of the cot. Don't know how that is going to go... we will see! Can't believe my little baby is going to be sleeping in a big bed soon!
