Becles, not only a good-looking brood, but really talented photography!

I'm not just saying that, i's kinda what I used to do! :D

Becles

I can't take credit for the pics

It was a boat trip and a photographer was snapping pics all day, then we viewed them on a laptop. He took so many nice ones of the bairns that I couldn't resist buying it! He only charged around £8 for the CD, and also included an album of scenic shots he'd taken of the area too.

Thinking of getting some enlargements printed and put in nice frames for Christmas pressies for the relatives :cool:

becles, your boys are so alike and those are lovely natural photos of charlotte

clever toby! keep sticking him on there

another terrible night sleep cos of the stupid basket, i feel like crying! he slept through for two weeks up until a week ago which is making it worse. OH told me off for putting him between us at 2am so i could get some sleep, he's really against it cos DSS wouldnt sleep unless she was between them until she was nearly 3 and he thinks seth is going to do the same thing, but if i dont i'm going to end up falling asleep on the sofa with him i dont know what to do for the best!
apparantly MIL has ordered the cot though and is waiting for a date for delivery for us, thank god!

off to the post natal group thing this morning, kinda dreading it and really hoping seth doesnt play up, he's fine walking around but gets very fractious sitting around anywhere other than home!

oh i forgot to ask a question last night.....

ladies that are expressing and have the medela system, any of you with larger boobs, have you purchased the larger size soft shell? i am just thinking i might need it becuase i can see some milk gathering at the bottom and i wonder if i am there not getting the milk expressed properly which could hinder what i am trying to do??

and if so.... where did you buy them from?

MrsT sore nipples, you need lansinoh lanolin, it works magic, it got me through the sore nipples, without that stuff I wouldn't have fed her past about 3 weeks, I don''t use it at all now, it just got me through that sore bit. Its expensive but worth it, and you don't use much I've still got nearly all of it left.

Feelie, congratulations, he's beginning to get the hang of it and by the sound of it he's thriving, he's growing much faster than Eloise.

Emlou, can't believe you are still waiting for that cot, Eloise went in her cot a couple of weeks ago cos she was waking herself up in the basket and she is much smaller than Seth (she was 10lb yesterday)

Well done feelie and Toby :T:T

We had a terrible nights sleep last night. Started to put Izzy to bed at about 7:30 and didn't get her properly settled until 12:30. I kept getting her off to sleep then within 10 mins she was awake again. Almost fell out with DH as he kept telling me to let her cry, but seeing as there was obviously something wrong leaving her wasn't an option. Not sure if the problem was tummy, eye or teeth, but never mind. Normally we have a day out on Thursdays, but we could both do with a rest today (plus sharing around the conjuncivitis wouldn't be very sociable ). Never mind - town will still be there next week.

MM - it's not just sore nipples hun It's thrush which is why they're sore - have cream from doctors for it and madam is a lot easier now her oral thrush is nearly gone I have no doubt that once it's cleared the soreness will go too - it's getting better each day at the moment so we'll tough it out And tomorrow she'll be 3 weeks old bless her little farty bum :rotfl:
