Noni - sorry, can't help with the asthma thing. DD doesn't sleep through, we can have 1-3 wakeups a night. Sometimes she wakes up all upset and comes running out to our room, sometimes she is just sitting on her bed crying, other times she just stands outside our door 'sneaking up on us' and if we call out her name she comes running in laughing. She generally goes back to bed with just a cuddle, sometimes she needs new books to read in bed. We did have a lot of issues with her at the end of last year with waking up and we got into a bit of a habit of hopping into the spare bed with her, but that's over now thankfully. Have a great visit with your grandparents.

Cass - that carer does sound a bit weird. As for the pooing, fair enough to let you know there were lots of poos, but they really should know she is a frequent pooer by now! Glad the birthday was good.

Trill - glad that A is ok. Aren't country hospitals great for the quick turnaround, we've been in and out of ours with K is that sort of time frame before and it's wonderful. Although, if you don't happen to get the doctor it can be a bit painful....

MD - good news on the sugar levels, hope you can get some more info on the hormones.

suz - WTG on the weight loss!

My parents have come down for a couple of nights. They are looking after K today and visiting the botanic gardens (and the dam - we have a tantrum everytime we drive past and don't look at it...) All of us are heading out for Chinese tonight which will be nice. That is of course if DH is still awake - silly boy, came to bed at 3 last night doing work stuff.
