    Holly- Must be some relief to see something is happening to help him. Its great they squeezed you in. Hopefully they'll come up with there action plan to treat it and it'll be a distant memory.

    mhami- That sounds interesting, we'll all have to pop the bubbly when you sign the contracts. What made you decide to write a book on that area? Has it always been an interest to you?

    Nai- How is J today?

    RR- Its a pain trying to find items close to home. I had to look for a few months to get my adventure buggy, had to wait til was nearby then had to wait to see if I could win it.

    Meg- Hope she sleeps better tonight. Is it her nose bothering her?

    We have our mchn friday arvo. Be interesting to see her weight cause not weighed her since 8 weeks.
    We're onto bottles all during day now and just breastfeed at bedtime and when she wakes in the night, finding it works well for us and she is alot happier in the day too, not looking for the boob every 2.5 hrs, was just exhausting feeding her that often.

    Hi All,

    Lewis has had a bad day of sleeping, we had mum's group in morning and he slept in my arms for the hour and then would only cat nap the rest of the day. He normally sleeps so well during the day, I'm hoping this doesn't make the night routine terrible he only normally wakes twice so will be interesting to see.

    shell- let us know how you go on friday, we have our check on thursday, I can't wait either!!

    Rainbow & mhami- seems like the week for check ups and needles!

    Nai & meg- Hope you had a better day & night tonight

    Good night all, going to bed!!!

    Evening all

    Just a quick poke my head in - got a mountain of dishes to do!

    Had mum's group today at the lovely Det's house - got to meet The Ferals and also Mr Det She was a great hostess to us all! Isabel and Levi were holding hands on the floor - LOL - we took photos

    Isabel's sleeping is still a bit broken, she's back to doing 3-4hrs over night but then this morning happily went 5hrs without a feed and only fed because I offered it. Whereas overnight, if I'm not too zonked I'll try resettling, patting and/or dummy, but she just wants to feed. She does that real "nyar nyar nyar" cry, IYKWIM, that just means "FEED ME!"

    But 3-4hrs is so much better than 1-2 so I shouldn't complain.

    Sorry for no personals... I should be going to bed... Its my niece's 1st birthday tomorrow so prob won't be on til Thurs, will try and catch up then!

    hey girls just a quickie

    RR- what type of double pram are you after- i have two here- one might be suitable for you and i can courier it to you if it is
    let me know- i have a childcare twin shopper and a fitnesswise double as well that i have been meaning to sell but havent got around to them - let me know- i can send pics/specs etc

    have a great day with a the girls from MG here - OP makes the BEST muffins - so much so that DS1 wants 'the list' so he can make them himself

    Ali- what was the J&K thing like- i heard it mentioned by then went in to clean the toilet (like you do that late at nite) and after i came out it was over !! GRR its not surprising that they split up -75% of couples that have muliple births split up !!! How scary is that!!
    Mind you over 50% of the general population now split- it scary!! Just these last few months my BIL split from his wife and now my mum and dad split last week as well! They would have been married 40 years this year- prettty sad hey!

    Pinny mum- hope you get a good nite sleep tonite!!!

    Shell- glad the boob/bottle combo is working for you! WHOOT! GL at the h/centre

    Vapourisers- we have a couple- Vicks one is OK- but noisy, but the other one we have is silent and works a treat- I can find out what brand it is- just cant be bothered moving at the moment- i think that i cost like $50

    Glad you are going well on WW Nai- as i eat a piece of cheesecake for dinner- oops!

    i am OUTTA here- buggerd as we finished cleaning up last nite at 2.30am!! Might get into bed before 1am tonite- treat myself

    Well miss Emily slept for 2.5 hrs this morn without having to be resettled at all! I had to go check her make sure she ok.

    Took Ash to indoor playcentre and don't think she had much fun, got lost inside the play part and crying not knowing how to get back down, then already being sensitive from that another girl pushed her over, thankfully the girls mum was really nice and made her apologise.

    Nights still annoying now the prob is the dummy, wakes looking for it, I think I need to get rid of it but I'm just too tired to have sleepless nights while we try get her off it, yet I won't get much sleep if I keep getting woken! Vicious circle.

    Det- You make me laugh! Cleaning late at night, I'm starting to think you're a vampire or something.

    OP- Sometimes its easier just to give them what they want isn't it. Keep looking on bright side that it is better than the 1-2hrs and bit by bit she'll stretch it out. DD1 was still waking 3hrly at 6 months but look at her now an excellent sleeper so it all paid off.

    Pinny- did he end up going ok overnight? Hope you have good appt tomor.

    Hi girls,

    Well its going to be a very interesting night here I think. Had a busy day out today so DD only had her morning sleep (2hrs) and then 2 catnaps of about 30min So when we got home at 3:30 I put her down. Took until 4:15 for her to self settle but she wasnt upset. Well I tried to wake her gently by turning on the light and talking to her in her room at about 6pm and she opened her eyes ad then closed them again, so I left her. At 7pm she was still asleep sucking on the dummy so I turned out the light. FIgure that she must need sleep after being sick this week. She only just woke up at 8:30 for a feed ad has gone straight back to sleep!!!!
    I am really hoping that this doesnt mean that she is going to want to have a party at 3am!!! We will have to wait and see what happens....

    Megie- How was last night? The night before sounds like a shocker!
    Nai- So proud of you with your efforts on weight watchers. I am going to look at the calorie king website.
    Mhami- Hopefully Posy goes back to sleeping through for you.
    Raver- Dont worry about personals if you cant do them, jsut good to hear from you and hear how your travelling. Have you decided about moving yet?
    Shell- So glad you've sorted the feeding thing out and found something that is working well for both of you. You are doing a great job
    Pinny- Interested to know what happened with L's sleep last night as it might give me an idea of what to expect tonight! Hope it went well and both he and you had a decent sleep.
    OP- that is great you are working out her cries adn what they mean and also that her sleep is improving.
    Det- so sorry your mum dad split. Hope it is still amicable. Everyone in my family is divorced, parents, uncles & Aunties, grandparents and DP's family as well! The J&K thing was basically a re-cap of everything that has been said in the media. I have seen itrepeated a few times so you might be able to catch it when it is on again. Thanks for the tip on the good vaporiser to get.

    I have dishes to do and clothes to fold and put away but am being lazy on the couch. Going to watch The Hills in 10min and then do some housework then maybe a soak in the bath (may even shave my legs ) and then bed! I bet thats just in time for Ashlyn to wake up for a party!

    We will soon see.....

    Det - sorry to hear your mum and dad split.

    Thanx for the book info - might have a look in the library/bookstore for the JP books.

    Alex doesn't sleep during the day unless he's on me, so I don't know anything about sleep cycles - night time he sleeps with 0-4 wakes (depending on some magical thing I haven't figured out yet). So to get him to nap during the day, I have to cuddle him - I've found if I don't do this, then he doesn't sleep at night.

    I'm going to find a new mums and bubs group - I've been hanging onto this group to see if its going to improve but alas no luck...

    sorry I'm a slacker with no real personals.. just feeling really blah at the moment.
