Hi all! I actually wrote this last night but realized this morning that it hadn't submitted...

I was wondering why bellybelly wasn't loading, thought it was my new ipod being weird. Bummer about the loss of posts. I was thinking one day I should go and copy it all so I have a record of some stuff since I'm not keeping a diary! Ah well, it was only 2 weeks. I wonder what the best way to save all the posts in our forum would be.

Dr T - Happy birthday for the other day! On the topic of poo, it's hard to know without seeing it, but I think the poo you're describing is like T's sometimes.

OP - Sorry to hear X's longest sleep overnight is only 4 hours, at least I think that's what you mean? There was a mum at my exercise class who reckons her baby sleeps straight through already, from 6pm to 6am! So jealous. I thought we were doing well with T sleeping 7 hours or more the last week, starting with that 10 hour sleep last Thursday night. It increased all of a sudden to that after it had been consistently 4 or 5.

Salad - I can empathize with your run in with R. I can't stand people who never ask how you're going, especially if they're like my FIL who LOVE to talk and tell the most boring irrelevant stories (about people you'll never meet and on topics that seem totally random) with great excitement as though his audience is hanging on every word, when in reality I'm usually avoiding eye contact or staring at him trying to convey my wish that he'd just SHUT UP!!! And he came over one day a week after T was born, and I was totally sleep deprived, and for some reason he thought it was a good idea to say, "I knew you guys would struggle." I lost it, and went off at him! What a stupid thing to say!! I called and apologized the next day for swearing at him. I didn't want to let him get away with it entirely though so I said something like, "I'm sure you were just trying to reassure us but said it the wrong way." This was my diplomatic way of confirming that what he said was just DUMB.

Oops sorry to have my own rant there! Good luck with your new business, sounds like something close to your heart which is a key ingredient for success, or so I hear! I wish there was somewhere that sold preloved nursing clothes near me. Great idea!

Hope your DD's foot is better now. Ouch!

How is everyone else doing? I've been thinking about the girls doing it alone, wondering how they're coping. I don't think I could do it by myself and have such huge admiration for them! Can understand why they haven't had time to pop in!

AFM - T had his first round of vaccinations today. I was going to take him by myself but got the yips and called DH just before I left and asked if he would come and he said okay. Phew! So I picked him up from work and he held bub while he was getting jabbed. T's cried heartily, but it was a similar cry to one he's had the last couple of days after waking up, so it wasn't too hard to listen to IFYKWIM. Though I wonder if he was in pain both those time? Poor little guy. He went to sleep in the sling and stayed asleep when we put him in the car, and I was thinking, "Woohoo, he might be one of these babies that get sleepy after their shots!" But then he woke up before we got home and did the usual fight to stay awake thing. Bah. Oh yeah, in case anyone remembers that I was having some success getting him to sleep during the day, turns out that was only a short phase!

Gotta go take a skype call!

Update: Looks like we have one of those babies who are unsettled after their shots. T was making noises all night!! And had the shortest first sleep of the night in over a week. I got about 3 hours sleep.
