Hi,

Clover - I stopped with solids. The CHN made me feel pretty bad about it so now I am just giving her as much milk as possy and just vegies at night in her fresh food feeder which is really only to distract her whilst we are all at the table eating dinner. She is very happy to sit and suck/chew on it for 30 mins! I don't think that can be classified as solids??!! lol

Raffy - I was kinda freaking out pretty badly actually and was 3 days away from doing an HPT. Even though my tubes are clamped, there is 'always' a chance and because my uterus was paper thin and had started splitting by the time they pulled Alannah out, having another child would be ludicrous, probably dangerous and enough to put me over the edge! 12 days late was a pretty big issue for me and yes, bleeding for as long as you have would be fine.....for me. I bled for over 4 weeks after Alannah anyway.

Sparkles - have you left him to just sort himself out? If you have, what does he start doing? Alannah has sounded like she has woken during the night for me but when I go in she is just stirring and settles again. Unless she is screaming her lungs out, I leave Alannah so that way she learns Mummy ain't gonna run into my room every time! The other morning I was awake for about an hour (facebooking! lol) at around 4am and I heard Alannah wake up and was playing with her dolly (it has a little rattle inside it) for about 15 mins or so and then she crashed again! And yes you can blame teeth until about 3 yrs of age! I have a gf with a 2 1/2 yr old who wakes most nights due to molars coming through! What about if you sneak in and play some lullaby music softly on a CD and sneak back out????

Pretz - YES, Alannah often does it. Buries her face and then screams blue murder! I roll her on her back again and within 10 mins, it starts again. All my kids have done it. Patience is the key. Rolling over and lifting up their heads etc seem so easy to us but it is massive for them and VERY tiring. I sometimes just pop her in her swing too just for something different and I try to sit outside with her for about 20 mins each day if we dont go out in the pram or the car.

Meela - I have never even heard of a Solids Group! I read a book and got some brochures when DS#1 was at this age, that is how I learn't! Having said that, I am also an old fuddy duddy.

AFM: Just phoned Community Health to arrange to see my counsellor again only to find out she has left. I am now on a waiting list which could be weeks or even months because she has not be replaced. Living in Western Sydney sucks big time! I basically just got off the phone and bawled my eyes out for half an hour. I have seen her since 2007 and she knows me. I am comfortable with her and now I have to start all over again. I know they have everything recorded but its a BIG deal for me. Right now I just don't care anymore. Just adds to my anxiety now. Please bare with me if I go loopy!

Have booked in for Alannahs Baptism - May 15th. More stress and anxiety.

Feeling pretty gutted right now so shall leave you and make a coffee.
