Scruffy, he is 4 but has mild cerebral palsy affecting his right side.

Was in for abdominal pain and braxton hicks and general 'bump pain'. It's a combination of ligament pain, SPD, irritated uterus and a fair bit of anxiety at simply being pregnant (had an abruption with DS2) and it's made worse by moving or walking. Good news is that I have a C section booked for the 6th August, only 6 sleeps. I'm not supposed to be doing anything at all, but you know how it is... dishes and clothes to be folded. I'm sore now though so nothing else today. And DH was supposed to finish at 2.30, is doing OT so won't be home till 8pm! :mad: (but the money is handy)

I really do feel you both, Elle and Feely. I had no problems at all expressing, it was the actual breast feeding that broke me. But you have both been so determined to do it, you've really spurred me on to give it everything I have to breast feed this time (for longer than 2 weeks).

Any ideas how I can get my two lazy little boys to tidy that pigsty of a bedroom? It is looking like one of those neglect cases now. Complete with jam sandwich crusts and empty bag of grapes (no excrement luckily!). They seem happy that Daddy is going to come home with black bin bags and just bin everything. In all honesty I think thats what it needs.

I think there's 1200ml in the freezer. We just bought a new FF with massive drawers, so like you once said, freezer has three compartments - milk, ice cream and everything else

We ended up buying a bigger freezer as we had no room for anything else - the milk just kept on mulitplying. We've now got it down to about 5000-6000ml but at it's peak we had about 5 times that. :eek:

Is it battery powered or plug in? We have two ringers (one of each) and the battery powered one goes of randomly. It's always the same ring though so we just set the bell pushes to the other two rings so that we knew whether it was real or not.

tia i had rolls of binbags and there was a pile for the tip and one for freecycle. i must admit it was the best thing i have ever done and keeping their rooms clean now is so easy! just have the big living room to do now(think i need a skip!) and that will be whole house done!

ETA bribery usually works too!

That's a very smily post, Tine!

Speaking of wine, must remember my ID when I go shopping later, although I bet Morrisons aren't so picky!

And, with the greatest of respect, Feelie and I are the only ones to know what it feels like to only express and we've probably tried every trick in the book to get it to work. Expressing every two hours did absolutely nothing for upping my supply and just stressed me up to the eyeballs because it felt like I never got any time off from it

And with the greatest of return respect... I did EBM only for several weeks too thanks... When it was too painful to BF her because of the thrush and her having a cold... and that was the only way I managed to up my supply when she was eating everything I'd expressed and wanted more...

ETA - that as obviously I haven't done it as long as yourself and feely then i can appreciate that my experiences don't matter so I'll not bother trying to encourage anyone in future...

Off to cuddle my baby - might be back later, but probably not.
