OH came home and I burst into tears - think he is now realising how much all this is getting to me. He has just poured me a wine and said dont worry I will get up with the kids tonight. Better late then never I suppose.

Glad he's helping. I think (in general) men don't notice the same things that women notice.

Hi,

Not quite ready to join you yet but I wanted to wish Elle and Rhys luck for homecoming tomorrow.

Be thinking of you both

Oh lord Hubby was c0cky enough when I told him what Lu said!:p
You need to be more assertive I found the ring I wanted and handed OH a pic of it along with my ring size (after he'd already told me he wanted to marry me - which btw was also the night we ended up creating Christopher, whoops )
the wedding was a bit of a random decision, we agreed when we wanted to TTC and I said I wanted to be married before I had #2 and if we did that would mean getting married in 6 weeks time to which OH said "ok then" :rotfl:I emailed the registrar there ans then to see what availability they had for 5th June and the rest is history:D

I REALLY want a puppy!! but I'm being sensible and waiting for my birthday next year when Chris will be in nursery half the week and our house should be free from random crap

does anyone have any experience of teething necklaces? Any opinions?

I've posted on previous incarnations of this thread about them - DS had one from a little over 7 months onwards - he stopped wearing it at around 2.

I think it helped with pain and fractiousness - it DEFINITELY helped with drooling and therefore less messy nappies.

Yay - good luck with it :j

Charlotte told me I looked really beautiful today. I've no idea why as I was just in black trousers and a white blouse for work, but it made me feel all warm and fuzzy.

I want a cutie like Charlotte - I am gonna send Benjamin round to yours for lessons!!



MacSmiler - I was thinking of you when B woke me at 4am and didn't go back to sleep til 6am!!! He fed then went back into his cot and talked to himself (and me over the monitor) for an HOUR before I gave in and brought him back in for more feeding and got him back to sleep :rolleyes:


But he did me proud this afternoon - I took him and left him with the girls at work whilst I went to the dentist!! Whilst I trust them completely with Benjamin he doesn't know them at all yet he was good as gold (I was gone for an hour because the dentist was running late!). Good job I left a bottle 'just in case' - my assistant told me that she has never seen a baby down a bottle so fast!!!! That's my boy



I had more to say.....

Hi all.. just been catching up whilst having my first hot cuppa of the day - Rhys is out on the ward with the nurses right now Tea and bikkies for me, then sleep through his next feed and get up for the one after at half six.

Still not brave enough to sleep with him in my room - am afraid I'll sleep too deeply and sleep through his feed time and he won't wake me because he doesn't cry with hunger for every feed yet. Going to try it tomorrow night but make sure I get a nap in somewhere before hand!

Discharge planning meeting is tomorrow afternoon, then just drifting along until jabs on Sunday, monitoring on Monday then home on Tuesday... this time next week, we'll be in our own house - hurrah! The report from Notts finally showed up this afternoon so will find out the results of that in the morning with the consultants.

Sorted the carpets to be fitted on Monday morning Builder has suddenly stepped up a gear (why could he not have done this weeks ago?!) and is finishing off lots of jobs. He's got a fab electrician mate who has, with two days notice, been in and redone our electrics box (consumer unit or something ) and moved the meter, all in three hours for £100 - the electricity board wanted £600 and wouldn't do it until August! I need to find new light fittings tomorrow so he can put them in, test everything and sign it off - we were officially living in a deathtrap without knowing it! :eek:

Anyway, best get to sleep.. One of my questions for tomorrow is how do we work it so that we can sleep through the night and how soon!
