We will. Happy full moon to you too. I have several games on the go atm. The old Scrabble was better with a greater range of words. For example I wanted to put fag as a word. Wasn't a word according to the game's dictionary. Too American I'd suggest. The dictionary not the word.

I've probably left it too late :(

I was an excellent baby by all accounts so let's hope that's a strong genetic thing.

Certainly seems that these days babies are less likely to sleep through the night for ages, whereas it was from about six weeks when I was a youngster.

Well what my mother neglects to mention when she praises my sleeping habits is that I never had a cot and apparently just slept in her bed from birth before going to my own bed when I was 2-3 years old. Co-sleeping seems scary for all involved though. But yes, things are changing definitely.
 
Jesse .. Both you and your partner will have well-meaning advice coming at you from all directions on all things "baby" ... Let it all flow over you ... Use what you need to and smile and nod for the rest ... Don't get hooked on just one method or book ... Go with what feels right and good for you, your partner and baby ... Your little family unit is paramount
No one has all the answers ...even experts can come unhinged when they themselves end up with a colicky baby and precious little sleep
In the end we all just do our best
You'll be great whether baby sleeps or not ... Grumpy but great :tongue:

Thanks, sounds like sound advice.

Sorry, I feel bad for hogging the thread with this topic when it's not overly interesting to most people, but thanks nonetheless.
 
Good mornin mothers to be, moaners, malingerers, muppets and morons!

Welcome to your MONDAY!!!
 
Ooohhhh nooooo. No holiday for me! Although I did get a kind of random 'Germany day' holiday in October I guess. But I am having a long weekend with you all in spirit!

There is a very accurate Nursing Meme I once saw.

It said "Happy long weekend said no nurse ever"

As if you'd ever not work them with that $$$$!

My mum is not a nurse but works casually out of a hospital as well as her regular job at a private clinic, and she has worked at the hospital almost every public holiday for as long as I can remember.

It would be nice to have a long weekend option with my partner though. Sometimes I feel I would be happy to pay not to go. And keep in mind we have to work two weekends a month too.

While the money is nice, I do lose out in making memories.
