Hi all
Things still plodding on here... taking things day by day - having some real bad/down days but other days are ok. I just take it one thing at a time and I find I do get through things but am thinking of heading to the Drs this week for myself and to discuss PND as at times it really does seem to be spiraling out of control.
We had a lovely time on Saturday catching up with Helena, Rachel, Janene (and Jorja), Anne and Jenny. We missed you Chris and I do hope you are feeling better real soon. The creamed eggs and spinach were really scrumptious though the Hot Chocolate could definitely have been better! Little Rachel was really well behaved and sat in the high chair at the time like a right young lady and she was full of smiles for everyone. Though admittingly, she was a right real madam for the rest of the day and evening... she has been really funny with her milk intake lately - I know that at about this stage (oh she is 8mths old today) that the milk intake slowly decreases while the solids intake increases... so am not to worried about it though last night I was quite stressed about it when she refused her bedtime bottle totally! So in the end, she went to bed without her bottle so we were both expecting a wake up call during the night - but no she slept right through till 5.30am (her normal wake up time)! So yes our darling is 8mths old today - so hard to believe how fast the time has gone! And we noticed at the weekend that her tooth has cut through now and I think that #2 might be on its way... oh the joys of parenting!
We went to the Warehouse Toy Sale yesterday and managed to get one thing to put away for either her birthday or christmas... apparently K-Mart have a good toy sale at some stage so will keep an eye out for that. We also got her a couple of bits and pieces at the Farmers Red Dot Sale :)
When I dropped her off at Daycare this morning - I so did not want to leave - just wanted to hold her forever! Yet other mornings I drop her off so freely... Am thinking of taking a few days leave some time soon and spend a couple of days with her at home (catching up with friends etc) and then a couple of days for me, myself and I!
Anyway its now almost 9.30pm - so time for me to head to bed.... sorry this has all been about Rachel... will try to say more in the next post.

Hi Karen.
It sounds like you had a lovely time catching up with the other bloggers at the weekend.
Gosh, hard to believe that Rachel is 8 months old already - the months are flying by. It must be so rewarding to see the changes and milestones in Rachel's life. She is so lucky having such wonderful parents in you and Stephan. With regard the PND, it sounds like a good idea to have a wee chat to your Dr and get some help if you need it.
Re the K-Mart toy sale - I understand it starts Wednesday. Happy shopping!!
I hope the rest of your week goes well for you all.
*Hugs*

8 months old?? Are you sure?? How the hell did that happen? Hehe :) You're doing a great job by the way ;)
K Mart sale on now!!!!
It is hard to believe Rachel is 8 months old already. You are doing a great job, it is really hard when you are working full time but she always looks cute & happy in the photos.
You are right Rachel was on her very best behaviour! Eight months - that time has flown in.
Hope you do go the Dr's for a chat.
