Lilima - I'm sorry you're having a rough time. Maybe talking to someone like a counsellor will help......thinking of you.

Shell - yuck on the gastro. I think DS has had that too but he was going long periods between spewing. No spew now for a couple of days so it's over. Hope yours nicks off soon too. Seems like lots of people have it. Am less tired now than I was between April and August when he was regularly waking multiple times a night and taking 1/2 to 2 and a 1/2 hours to re-settle each time. Tonight he doesn't seem to want to sleep, been a bit of a pattern lately in the evenings again. Panadol is my friend as it seems to be the only thing that works. He's still awake in there now.

Nai - at big heads!! DS's head is quite large too and he loves looking at it in the mirror

AFU DS has been a bit unsettled and weird since he started vomiting on Sat night. Much more quiet, less chatty/smiley, more prone to crying and clinging (even in care where he is normally quite well distracted and having too much fun to be grouchy). Not sure what is going on. Don't have typical signs of teething and he hasn't vomited in a couple of days now. I want my happy boy back! Bit worried as I don't know what's going on, he's not obviously sick anymore but not himself either. We have his 18month review with the CFHN next week so will see how he is by then. Work has been really full on lately too, just in terms of dealing with colleague dramas/difficult personalities and also the type of clients I've been seeing have been pretty complex and difficult. Also, DP is really sick so I'm doing most of the work at home and in terms of DS. It's not his fault but still extra stress for me and I'm worried about him too. Plus I have a sore throat and feel like I'm fighting some kind of cold.
Wow, what a whinge-fest!! lol. Things are generally ok and I am feeling alright in myself. Definitely noticing the extra sleep over the last month, even though it's still broken every night.
