Ali - mate. I have been wondering how you've been going cause you haven't been posting as much and figured sleep was in short supply. It won't last forever mate. Jacob has been sleeping less well lately too and taking AGES to go down of an evening, sometimes to wake 2 hours later wanting to feed I feel your pain darl! It's great that FDC seems like a good option.
Shell - whoohoo on the great birthday! I have also just recently resigned myself to the fact that I'll never know what's going on with Jacob half the time. Could be teeth, could be a bad day, could be the direction of the wind I reckon!
Nai - 4 hours for your hair! That's full on. I need a haircut but can't decide whether to start growing it a bit longer again. Glad J was an angel for you. Her night time sleeps sound amazing too! You must feel like a human being again!
AJP - Wow a pool! I had so much fun in our backyard pool growing up. There'll be heaps of good memories there. Hope your Mod meet up was good.
Tarkine - I would love to read your book when it's finished! for your crappy day. You seem to shoulder a lot of the workload in your house. Make sure you do stuff for you too!
Holly - That sounds so fustrating - to get him to sleep and then have him wake straight away. Will he take a dummy at all if that is what he wants from you? Jacob is a dummy baby - he actually doesn't use me as a dummy - hasn't for ages and sometimes I miss it but it's heaps easy to just stick the dummy in. How is his breathing/nose going now?

Hi Heaven, Pinny and everyone else!

AFM - Not much to report here. Had Jacob to the doctor yesterday about his twisty arm but the doc says it all looks normal even though he hasn't really seen it before and he's probably just really flexible in that arm. DP reckons he's gunna grow up and bowl for Australia! He STILL isn't rolling in either direction but is looking like he wants to. He can roll onto his side from his back when he has no nappy or a disposable on. I'm trying to enjoy the fact that he doesn't really move much when I put him down because I suspect he'll be off like a rocket once he works it out and we haven't kid-proofed the house yet but I'm starting to wonder if he's ever going to do it!!

ETA: Shell - so sorry to hear about your FIL.
