Morning mums and bubs,

Very tired this morning, up every hour over night with Isabel. I think its the dummy here too - so I reckon we're going to try and ditch it. I wonder if I'll be able to cope without some sort of comforter? Maybe I should introduce one before getting rid of the dummy.

I was so exhausted, trudging into her room, sticking it back in, wrapping her back up and trudging back to bed. Didn't help that DH and I had a massive blue, then a big "come to Jesus" talk about our finances and work situation, then a big make up session (LOL) so I only got to sleep at like 1am. So tired this morning!

Thanks to everyone for your words of encouragement as well. You've all been very supportive, thank you.

Holly - so glad you are finally getting some decent sleep! Maybe that means the medicine is shrinking the growth???

Tarkine - yeah it is very sad. Esp if there was post-natal depression, the poor mum. Also I'm so sorry about your issues with the will etc.

Shell, so proud of how well it is going for you without the dummy. You've inspired us all it seems

Ali, we have a group of people over every Tuesday night and I like it for the same reason, it gives me motivation to clean the house! You are so beautiful with Ash! She is one lucky bubba to have such an amazing mum! I read somewhere (might have been FB?) how you're really enjoying being a mum and being at home, good for you. I really hope you can keep it up for as long as possible

Kaz - Isabel has been pretty grumpy too. Not sure why. She fed every 2.5 hrs yesterday too, maybe the growth spurt det warned us about?? Isabel is very cuddly at the moment, she snuggles right into my neck, its very cute.

Pinny, that's great about L sleeping a bit better! Not so great about your house being trashed! I don't understand why you some mothers let their kids run amok...

Nai - I'm with you, well I was, until mum observed that I smelled like baby chuck. That's not good!

Also, Isabel has been watching us eat for a while so we started her on some rice cereal about a week ago. She screws up her face (so cute) for the first couple of mouthfuls then opens her mouth and grizzles til she gets some more. I don't have a high chair yet so I had her in the bouncy chair and she was so excited by it she was bouncing herself up and down just jiggling so much. Very cute!

Ok I have said that she is cute three times now!
