I'm bummed I can't make next weekend... but if Clare is planning on going back over after Christmas then I'm definately going to come down! I'll bring DH as well and Poopie that will give your DH another family minded guy to talk to!

Dan - try not to stress too much... I too feel like I'm turning into my mother at times, but more in mannerisms and characteristics and it scared the living ***** out of me Also I think you need to stop feeding Vic, he's growing soo fast!

Clare - I have the same problem with P with nappies, the legs are too big for him as he has chicken legs... makes for interesting nappy changes sometimes if you don't get the nappy quite right IYKWIM

AFM - quick rant - I feel really flat and bleh.... Does that even make sense?? LOL. Got my appointment with First Steps Parenting with a social worker on the 14/10 so hopefully all goes well. The clinic nurse thinks it will also be beneficial for me to see a psychologist in addition to try and overcome the underlying issues (although I thought they had been dealt with but obviously not) but she did say that having bub has caused them to resurface and there probably wasn't a lot I could have done to stop it, maybe just lessen the impact ITMS.
I just feel selfish for getting PND when I have a 3month old that sleeps through the night, can self-settle, feeds and is a happy content alert baby. I am comfortable talking to certain people about it, but there are others that I feel would judge me and point out that I have a perfect baby so why am I depressed... Everyone comments how good he is and that I'm lucky because it must be easy, and I feel like I have to smile and agree when on the inside I'm crying.
Anyway, enough from me... he's been asleep since 4.30pm so I think it will be an interesting night as he usually goes to bed at 7pm... I may be posting again at random hours...
