    you poor thing
    Im pretty lucky Miss Alissa has been sleeping through for weeks. We still have our nights tho but i cant somplain... plus she doesnt sleep much at all during the day I say that no while she's asleep ) lol

    im so proud of myself, i was talking to my MIL about not geting anything doen anymore, she said to write a list and even if you dont get all the things done you will feel good about the things that i have got done. So last night before i went to bed i wrote a list of things i need to do/get/organise and i got most of the things done ive just been feeling so lazy and useless lately. and when im getting good sleeps with Miss A and i donothing else there is no reason for it. Im going to start exersing in the new year (yes i know i have been slack ) i also have only been doing my pelvic floor exersises properly (every morning and night) for the last week im just hopeing that i havent caused in permenant damage

    anyway off to the IL's for tea when DH comes home he always looks in our fridge and cupboards and asks me if ive eaten anything at all. i eat at their place alot but they dont mind, they wouldnt invite me over there if they did i guess lol.

    Ok well a lot of posts since my last one! Hope everyone had a great and safe christmas
    Mine was ok, sad but to be honest I just drank ALOT of wine and it seemed to get me through haha.

    Lucy has been sleeping through for a few weeks. Goes down about 8-9pm wakes at around 4am for a feed then goes back down till about 9am Which is amazing as Annabelle didn't sleep through till she was 12months and still wakes on occasion!

    Stevie W- The list sounds like a great idea! But dont beat yourself up to much is things dont get done. A real routine prob wont start till Miss A is about 5-6months Which is normal. And by the way you are FAR from useless your a mummy a very good attentive mummy

    Rach75- What a great sleep Luke had! Hopefully he keeps it up! You poor thing feeling so tired after that mix! I wouldn't have even thought it would make a difference

    Well Dp is playing golf and we stayed at mums last night because I really needed some laughs and all went well
    Now Im chasing Annabelle around the house as she goes crazy. I dont allow any sugar really in her diet yet she's a NUTTER!
