Hey Girls

I had a crappy sleep last night...Cara was miserable. Gave her panadol about midnight, she woke up about 7 times!! (no joke!) Sometimes my back is sore from swapping sides of the bed to feed her! She has two top middle teeth just bulging under the gums ready to break through. She usually sleeps well from 9pm-7.30am, just wakes up, breastfeed. straight back to sleep. But not last night. Nasty teeth..I am sure we will all be happy when they have a break from teething for a lil while. Cara has had 4 teeth now (almost) within a month almost! Can't blame the girl for being fed up. She got the other 2 bottom teeth around 6mths.

I set up the wiggles playpen today. I've never had a fancy playpen before..usually just a wooden one..but I gave it away ages ago. It's a nice colourful one with things on the side panel for them to play with (mirror, phone, dial etc). She isn't crawling yet, but she can get herself around on her tummy VERY well. She can cover a lot of ground. This morning it almost looked like she was crawling!! Not far away. She's up on all 4s a lot and trying to pull up. She's so heavy though, she doesn't stand for long hehe. I just thought I'd get the playpen out for the times I can't watch her....doing certain housework etc. She pulled the playstation down the other day. I am sure in time she'll see it as a prison. But I don't want to stick her in there too often.

Cara seems much worse with these teeth than the other 4. She has been biting me on the boob HEAPS in the last 24 hours. I yell "OWWWWWWWWWWWW" (can't help it, it hurts), and she comes off and looks at me. She knows it is wrong. Occasionally she will cry if she knows she's hurt me. And then goes back on the boob and is fine.

All you teething Mums! Hang in there!! It will get better! hehe

To all you Mums that are going back to work/have gone back to work...all the best!! I've never done it before (work and be a Mum). Give yourselves a pat on the back and make hubby spoil you sometimes (and I hope he does his share of the chores too). Doing two very important jobs is HARD WORK! You ladies are the true wonder women! SuperMums!
