That's going to be a pretty darned excellent Christmas holiday, with everyone together, sans snow! I hope you take lots of photos! By the way, I'm loving the quilts - my auntie Dianne was a big quilter, and I always feel that nothing is quite as cozy and comforting as a homemade blankie!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16204671261465792445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30315386.post-75125321698486973362008-12-01T07:00:00.000+11:002008-12-01T07:00:00.000+11:00They definitely can sense when you are slightly st...They definitely can sense when you are slightly stressed whether it is in excitement or overwork. I always know when I get grouchy that it will be a long and hard day unless I try and cheer myself up! Take things a little more easily for a bit. I am sure once your Mum and sister are there that Mae will quickly get into the rhythm of things. In fact she will probably sleep like an angel and your Mum and sister will wonder what you have been complaining about!Tachahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04081618404651381408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30315386.post-54274982276335336172008-11-30T20:00:00.000+11:002008-11-30T20:00:00.000+11:00my 6 month old has a very similar sleeping pattern...my 6 month old has a very similar sleeping pattern and it's driving me insane. i love your honesty about mae's 'behaviours', when i had my first baby i was sure all the other mums in my mothers group were exagerating how 'good' their babies were while mine was keeping me up all night! would have been great to read a blog likes yours then, as it is now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30315386.post-46195803314937234392008-11-30T19:38:00.000+11:002008-11-30T19:38:00.000+11:00I am with you on the visitors coming to stay for e...I am with you on the visitors coming to stay for extended periods - we do it every few years with my mum coming over for six weeks. <BR/><BR/>I used to panic A LOT (am so not a natural housekeeper while she outMartha's Martha) but when I found myself trying to bend over and clean behind the toilet (boxed in btn a wall and teh bath) at nearly nine months pregnant I gave it up for a bad joke. <BR/><BR/>Just chill and enjoy your baby.trashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13623440501234583451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30315386.post-13084301034625563632008-11-30T15:24:00.000+11:002008-11-30T15:24:00.000+11:00I feel your pain.

I was totally opposed to sleep training until Hayden's sleep fell apart over a period of 2.5 months to the point where she was waking 4 times per night at 6.5 months old. I finally reached my breaking point, and bit the bullet, committing to a 5-night stretch. (Which method you choose isn't so much the issue, as that's personal; it's making the commitment to teaching her to fall back to sleep on her own that I think is the big thing.) I nightweaned her at the same time. By the 6th night, she was crying for only 2-5 minutes when she woke up, and she's been an amazing night sleeper ever since. (Though occasionally there was some brief re-training.) Naps, however, have always been a different and more difficult story for us ...{kimmymade}https://www.blogger.com/profile/00832504422458012477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30315386.post-86649981929285354932008-11-30T10:32:00.000+11:002008-11-30T10:32:00.000+11:00the art is beautiful!
