    How you doing?

    I am kicking myself because I knew when you were wanting the HV to visit a few weeks ago (maybe even a month or so ago) that you were finding it tough...I asked a couple of times then it slipped my mind :o


    Another week is a long time to wait to see someone....

    Aww cute moment of the night.. Rhys has been doing really well with his head control in the last few days, and tonight he was leaning on my chest, propping himself up with his head perfectly straight, staring at me with big wide eyes. All of a sudden, he let out this huge, really loud comedy hiccup and his eyes went even wider and he froze in shock! :rotfl:

    More success on breastfeeding tonight too :j Decided to do it every evening if he's looking up for trying it so that he's not getting too much without his med powders in. I could be imagining it, but he seems much calmer after BF.. Seems to go down for a sleep with no fuss at all :confused:

    Someone has taken Charlotte's competition link and posted it on a rival Newcastle board. They've added horrid comments about her on there. I can't understand why people would attack a toddler like that.

    becles, that's awful! I couldn't believe what I was reading and felt very sick. Goodness only knows how you must feel. Charlotte really is beautiful. I feel very sorry for anyone whose life is so empty that they fill it with attacking a child on an internet forum. Hope you feel ok now, but I'm sure if it were me it would sting for a while :(

    elle, I'm sure asda will do an exchange- and anyone who's a good friend would rather you had something you liked :)

    Strangely (!) our best presents were from MIL and FIL who gave DH a cheque for £400 while I was pregnant, to help us with set up costs, and from my uncle, who gave my mum £50 and said to get anything we were short of. Those were great because Fergus is still a cash neutral baby! :) It also meant I could buy a tens machine for labour. :T

    About our status, I am with DH who I started dating 12 years ago and married nearly 10 years ago. We were a bit traditional and moved in together after the wedding!!!!!

    Spent most of yesterday packing and still not there! Oh boy :)

    The food is trickiest. They're going to transport our stuff from carpark to cottage by golfcart, so I'm insistent that the food is packaged up well not just in sprawly carrier bags. DH thinks this is daft. What do you guys reckon?

    All the baby gear means no room for crafty stuff on holiday. Never thought I'd miss a sewing machine :)

    Caz, sorry your appointment is a while away, hope you will let off a bit of steam here in the meantime. :)

    Millie's Mum, whatever it was I hope it's a bit better now ;)

    MFD, I thought benjamin was actually eating the brocolli and stuff on his antilop! Feel more reassured now about my uninterested baby. He also shows absolutely no inclination to roll :eek:. All of yours seem to have been doing this for ages :rotfl:

    Tine, glad hubby's gonna do more without being asked. That's great:T

    emlou how's the cot transfer situation now? :D


    And everyone else- Hello!!!! :D
