ok , gonna try to post a bit more now - but i'm really struggling today for so many reasons!

Bella - hope J settled for you last night and that you've managed to get some restful sleep. it seems a lot of our bubbas are struggling on the sleep front at the moment. it's hard enough having them unsettled - but when they're in pain and you can only do so much to help, it becomes so much more emotionally draining. i'm hoping you're in a much better headspace this today

K - we're not chatterboxes, we're women with strong communication skills lol. i know we talk heaps in here - but it's all supportive chatter helping us through the rough spots with our bubbas, celebrating our milestones - and just being there for each other. that's the whole point of the thread! no matter what else is going on (J being pg, K going through PGD) - we have our bubbas in common - we started out as relative strangers, became belly/baby buddies - and we're now friends that can share more than just our bubbas!

Cathy - your Av is looking good babe! i've been reading comments about the way Cara is getting around - E is still only commando crawling - but she is getting herself around so we're not phased by it. we figure she'll get there in her own time. she is very switched on in other aspects so i guess we're not seeing it as her being behind the other kidlets - just that she is putting her brain power into other things for now!

Nay - i know E hasn't had a brace, so her situation is different to Bailey and CJ - but wanted to let you know that she doesn't move overnight either! she won't sleep unless she's wrapped (which drives me nuts - but it's part of who she is) - and usually wakes up the same place she went to sleep. if she is unsettled overnight she may wiggle out of the wrap a bit - but in general, she stays exactly where we put her

hi to everyone else! sorry i can't do more persies but DH is asking E if she wants boobie (yeah, cos HE can offer it lol) so i best wrap this up!

we're having a shocker today - last night overnight E's amber necklace came undone. DH put E basically right on the boob (she had to move her mouth less than an inch!) so i couldn't do it back up, so handed it to him to put somewhere safe til morning. he claims i didn't. the fact that i was more awake than him and remember opening his hand and putting the damn thing in there... anyway, it's now missing! can't be found. we've torn our room apart and just can't find it. he is saying i lost it cos he doesn't remember me giving it to him. i have NFI where he's put it, but i'm so frikken angry at him - she is actively teething atm - we NEEEEEEEEED that damn necklace! at the moment, she is wearing my necklace as an anklet - looks very cute, but not sure how effective it's going to be...

must away - she has hiccups and he has AGAIN offered her boobie - ok hun, whip your boob out and let her feed!
