Ah-ha Bubblez, we have sucked you back in! I've often wondered how you were doing as T was born the same day as O. Glad to hear it's going okay (apart from the sleep thing ).
SOL - good to hear your news. Glad it is all going as well as can be expected.
Dippy - when I have just N, I try to think of things that would be difficult to do with O in tow, so we sometimes go swimming (yesterday pm for example - brrrrr), or out for civilised coffee and a cake, or to the museum. Have a lovely afternoon whatever you do - it's such a treat to have just one of them isn't it?!
O has turned from the world's champion sleeper into a bit of a crap one these past few weeks - screams blue murder when I try to put her to bed, then awake quite often between 3.30 and 4.30 and won't settle. I think it's teeth probably, but the trouble is, because she's always been so good, I struggle to know what to do to resettle her. She won't have her cuddly bear, just keeps throwing him back at me . I give Calpol if I think she's really in pain, but apart from that just sit next to her cot holding and stroking her hand until she calms down. Am a bit worried that this is going to undo all the good work we did with CC when she was 6 months old though , so I'm really hoping this is just a blip.
Better go and do some work now while N is in front of the TV. Have promised her we'll make a pumpkin lantern later on, and then have a friend with a little one O's age coming for tea. Brrrr, it's cold!
