    Through the difficult stage at six weeks ? How do you do that???

    Through the early diffilcult phase lol, now I get a few months of easy baby care before she starts growing up and being a handful!
    For the first few weeks she screamed every time we went in a car, I took her in a pram or put her in a shopping trolley. Now she's out of that and will happily sleep in the car which means I am no longer housebound! She's also sleeing for longer periods at night and is happy to lie awake and entertain herself during the day, so I guess I'm quite lucky (though this is still my most difficult baby so far!).

    Was thinking about you on Tuesday Sandy, and have just scanned through the pages for news, was worried when you didn't post for several days. My thoughts are with you for today.

    Hugs for anyone else who needs them ((Hugs))
