    hey girls still here!
    all good here except for a little thing called sleep
    Boof has had 2 x 15 mins sleep all day. He is sleeping OK at nite when he eventually gets to sleep around 11ish - ho hum
    mind you when he is awake, he is fine and happy- just awake ALL day now

    boof is teething BAD!!! at the moment- we are calling him our spitasarus! Just fists and spit!LOL
    i remember with my twins that when something like teeth, or a milestone was about to happen, then sleeping would go to the crappa- so tipping that is whats happening

    OP-Glad you are gonna get some assistance. Have you thought of ringing and speaking to Liz at Northpark in the interim- she might be a good resource to call on!!! Mwah hun and see you tommorow!

    Ali- how spesh do i feel now we are facebook friends- ashlyn is such a cutie!

    Nai - it was soo good to catch up with you at the meet up! I am gonna drag OP by her hair next time LOL- its ace how easy it is to talk to you, even though only met you IRL twice!

    Kaz- yah on weight gain- WHOOT on trusting your instincts!!!!!

    grrrr Boof is AWAKE AGAIN!!!!!
    so much for an early nite for him
    mwah and see you on the flip side

    Rainbow Raver - I just checked my list and it's actually 4 books I can't find. Damn baby brain! They are Mr. Jelly, Mr. Fussy, Mr. Worry and Mr. Wrong. They'll turn up eventually - I'll just have to keep checking amazon.

    Evening ladies

    Thank you all for your kind words and support. I really do love this place.

    Well my lovely DD is asleep and has been since about 7.30pm, with minimal settling from me and DH. At least we are not holding her and didn't have to rock her to sleep.

    Darn spoke too soon... she is awake.

    Well Isabel woke, fed, grizzled a bit and is back to sleep. I'm not surprised she woke - her last feed was 5.30pm, she was not interested in feeding at all after her bath, so it had been over four hours since she fed. Ah well. We'll see how long she sleeps for now...

    Kaz - my MIL has been hitting the Aussie Post shops too - how good are those packs?? I can't believe you have almost an entire collection of Mr Men books!

    Det, thanks hun, I'm going to give Liz a call tomorrow, good idea. Can't believe your boofa boy, he is going ahead in leaps and bounds! No teeth over here yet...

    Tarkine - I've got an ergo, she does sleep in that. So cute, today we went to Woolies for groceries and she was in it about 2 minutes, looking around then I felt this gentle THUNK as her head hit my chest, sound asleep. Can't use it with a sleeping bag though... maybe I'll look into a HAB or something.

    AJP - what did wonder weeks have to say???

    Well last night she wasn't too bad - woke a few times but DH and I decided to try and resettle if it was less than 3ish hours since a feed, I think her short fussy feeds are because I've been feeding her when she's not really hungry, so she's only have a snacky feed.

    Sort of worked - she went about 4.5hrs between feeds then another 3.5. So I told DH we'll try that again tonight, luckily he's got a cruisey week this week (he's wiring my parent's house extension, they understand if he's not there early in the morning LOL) and can help out overnight and in the mornings.

    See how we go tonight. I called a sleep school today and I'm waiting for the "triage" nurse to call me back. Fingers crossed we don't need it...

    Thanks again ladies for all the wonderful support.

    Det- eww paperwork you poor thing! Yay for FB friends. I stalked you through Shell and then I got stalked back by OP Love all this stalking Your kids are gorgeous. Cant believe how much Levi is growing! He is such a spunk!
    OP- Do you find DD is only unsettled when she is out of her own bed/home? Glad things are getting better. Yay for being FB friends as well.
    Kaz- Do you have a fav Mr Men character?

    Girls, this hair thing is a real issue I am having. I just ran my finger through my hair once and had about 6 hairs all caught in my hand. My clothes seem to be covered in it. I am constantly picking them off DD as well. When will it stop falling out so much?

    Also anyone else on FB that wants to be my friend Pm me and I'll give you my details or you can give me yours

    DD has not been sleeping very well the last couple of nights. We are good up until 12 she feeds then wakes at around 2:30 4-4:30, 6:30 8:00. I am not so much tired in the evening it is just the mornings that I hate getting out of bed as I still feel so tired. GOing to MCHN tomorrow for a weigh in for DD.

    Kaz, will keep my eye out for those books and let you know if i see them.

    OP - I hope things settle down soon. I find Juliette is more unsettled if she isn't at home for her bed routine.

    Det - boooo for paperwork!

    Ali - my hair is falling out too. It lasted a couple of months last time from memory It's all over my bathroom floor at the moment.

    AFM - slowly going crazy - Day 3 of Swine Flu isolation but hopefully we find out today if DD1 actually does have it. She woke up this morning with no temp so it seems like she is on the mend.
