Malyna- sounds like you're having a rough trot. Have you been recommended to a councillor? I'd hate for the PND to get worse so might be worth a thought. As for sleeping I had major issues with Ash and what we did was not exactly controlled crying as I was in the room always and I picked her up if she got hysterical but it did involve a fair amount of crying but at the time it was what I needed as I was spending an hour to get her to sleep in the day for her to sleep only 30mins and I was up at minimum 3 times a night. If you are interested I can PM you but its up to you what you feel comfortable to do, don't feel presured by ILs or anyone. It was really hard the first couple days but it did save my sanity as I was in tears everyday .

Pinny- yay on the extension of mat leave, I have mixed feelings of returning back, mostly I am looking forward to the money but willo miss the girls.

Ali- Thats great she sat so long! Emily only sits long enough to eat a cruskit then she cracks it, always have to make sure I have them packed away for if I want to go have coffee or something.

Still not tooth, the lump I could feel has gone down so they just don't want to pop thru. On the subject crawling she is crawling properly now most of the time, she is getting faster so doing it more. Poor knees on hard floor tho.

We have the christmas lights and our tree up now. I am so excited this year with Ash, I keep having to remind myself real meaning christmas I am getting carried away with santa and all that sorta thing.
