Hi all
Sounds like most have had a bit of an unsettled week. E has been doing really well at night, but still not sleeping too much in the day. She hasn't been too cranky though so I'm trying not to get hung up over it. Today she resettled herself after 1 sleep cycle which was fantastic. She woke again about 15 minutes later but I'm taking it as a resettle! Both girls happen to be asleep at the same time today so I'm having a few minutes to myself. It rarely happens.

Toddlers - Annabelle has even had a nap the last 2 days, so I'm not feeling so mentally drained which is good as DH is doing 12 hr shifts at the moment. Re shopping, I tend to get groceries day to day by walking to the local supermarket. It gets me and A out of the house and E normally naps in the sling while we walk. If I have to do a big shop I try and go when E is getting tired so she naps the whole time (in the sling). She's started waking at the half hour mark even in the hugabub though, so I'm not sure how long this trick will last.

Head lumps - My DH has a long head (front to back) and A has a prett big overhang of her occipital bone. She also slept on her tummy as a baby so never got a flat spot. E's isn't so pronounced, but Traylee if you're worried, check it out. Babies have weirdly shaped heads, and the shaped tend to change as the bones star to fuse.

Dairy - Tiff, I sadly had to eliminate chocolate and milk from my diet as they seemed to really upset E's tummy. She had 2 crazy nights a few weeks ago where she didn't sleep much at all, and both were days that I'd eaten chocolate. Hopefully you can find out what it is that's causing problems.

Hi to everyone else, hope bubs settle down and you all get some good rest. It's hard to go back to unsettled times after they've been sleeping well. I know that week after E's needles was a shocker! Better make the most of the girl-free time and do a bit of housework. Slow cooker is on so at least dinner is taken care of. Seeya ladies.
