We had a much better night last night but still have a headache which I've had for last 2 days!
SJ- Thanks I didn't even think about putting her back on first side! And I have been forcing myself to drink more water and less tea which I think has helped, she seemed bit more settled so might've been a growth spurt or something. Your Dh is great! Hope Grace is more settled today.
ALi- Grr, you might need to have a chat with him and tell him how important family time is to you, and that you understand he may need time to himself but you also need him to spend time as a family. Maybe come up with some plan that he can go do such and such but then a certain time is to be spent as a family. I've had to have those sort chats in the past with Df.
Nai- So cute, hope she doesn't suck it off, lol. I'm very impressed how good you are with going gym! I just feel too tired for excercise but do try force myself to walk.
Kaz- good luck with the WW, how much weight do you want to lose? They have some nice desserts in there range.
Tarkine- when i had Ash i got into books, cause she was such a booby girl I'd put her on the boob, sit in bed and read and she'd sleep on my booby.
Det- wow its a pretty bog trip in just 2 days! Bet yr nan will be so excited tho, be great surprise for her, too bad you couldn't have gone bit longer.
Meg- good on you with train trip! I hate peak hour trains even without kids! Your poor Dh wouldn't have enjoyed footy too much.
mhami- i'm impressed with the BFing while in carrier walking! Thats talent!
we're still trying to work on second sleep cycles here, she goes down ok usually for first then spends next sleep cycle crying and i have to let her sleep on me which is hard with toddler as well
laura how is bella doing? you have any follow up appts?
Hi Ladies

Take care. Exxx
Had a good chat with DP last night, he came home and bought dinner with him. Always a plus. We are going to Qld next week for 5 days so we will def have some family time then. BBL
