Hey All...finally have time to post rather then just lurking. This school holidays business is hard work. AM not used to having 3 at home to entertain all the time!

Natalya is also managing to have at least one big stretch of sleeping during the night - she seems to sleep from midnight till around 5-6am and then has another big sleep in the morning.It is now 1.40 and she has been sleeping since 10.30 and we have been out and about at an indoor playground with heaps of noise so I am very impressed! BUT the bad side is that she wants to be held and is extremely whingy from around 7pm through till midnight. You cannot put her down, nor will she drop off to sleep in your arms. I thought it might have been my afternoon coffee or coke affecting her but I dropped those and she was still unsettled so who knows what it is...very frustrating tho.

Jenushka - good to hear the shopping expedition wasnt as bad as imagined. I have been using coles online for most of my shopping since I was heavily pregnant and have loved it.

Brooke - welcome to the group and congrats on Tully. What a sweet name.

Joey - its amazing how much better you feel after a good haircut. I was supposed to go to the hairdressers and the beauticians the day I went into labour so couldnt wait to go when Natalya was 2 weeks old - I felt like a new woman!

Ali - hope the thrush clears up soon. DD1 had it as a baby too. Hows all your pelvic pain going too?

Monique- Glad to hear your SIL's birthday dinner went well...it is such a mission taking all 3 isnt it?

DD1 is at a playdate atm and DS fell asleep in the car on the way home from the playgorund so I have a bit of piece and quiet for once which is nice! The eldest 2 are going for a sleepover at my mums tonight (2nd time this week!!) and DH is off to watch a soccer match so I should have a nice quiet night... provided Natalya goes to sleep!!
