    Caz - I definitely think you should mention Charlie's behaviours to someone...Do you have a baby weigh-in clinic run by HV maybe go and get Erin weighed and take Charlie too, then have a chat about him there? But over the days before you go, make a list all of the things that he does, as at the time it is easy to forget some of it and you don't want to walk out of there having forgotten to mention something.

    3 - Thank you for sharing you too. It really helps me to hear about others experiences, not that I wish it on anyone.

    Feely - Thanks for PM

    Savvy - If I need to go to the docs for any other reason I may mention it.

    Buttons - Glad your sis and her friend were OK and not too badly hurt.

    Swan - Feel free to hang about, it is always good to hear tips from people who have grown up kids.

    Tine - I hope dh has been keeping up his promise to help out a bit more....plus I was meant to say the other day, if you are having a bad day where Alexandra is crying all day, put her in her pram/puschair and go for a walk, even if it is just up the street, or round the garden, honestly getting some fresh air will make you feel a whole lot better and baby's nearly ALWAYS fall asleep when being pushed about. Even if you just get a half hour peace you will feel better.

    My jeans came today (from eBay) £30 Next ones BNWT I won them for £7.15, they are slightly tight...well they do up fine but I think would be a bit uncomfortable to sit round in all day, I need to get cracking with losing a teeny(haha) bit of weight and sit-ups:)

    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    I can see one of their bits dangling!!

    Where?! *rushes back to have a look* I see it *giggles madly too*
    I saw pics of the smashed car, really suprised they both managed to walk away from tbh, the whole back is caved in and the passenger side. Amazing.

    Blimming heck button, those pics are terrifying! Glad they're both doing ok though

    although I shall leave when a new thread starts and I'm off on holiday tomorrow so may not even be back after that.

    No! Don't leave us! Well, you can go on holiday but you have to come back again!

    Thanks hun - he's been much better - it's actually quite funny as he's still unsure about doing stuff with out being told/asked, mainly because I used to be very specific about how things were done... So he decided to tidy the kitchen - cue 15 questions about where so and so was, it that the stuff for the hob, kitchen tops, sink etc? Should he leave it to soak or not? He's a lovvie :D
    Yesterday he also pretty much picked Alexandra up everytime she had a grinch - it was great! And when she was over tired last night he walked round the living room with her till she FINALLY nodded off :T

    As for walking her round the garden in the pram... it would be 1 - 2 - turn, 1 - 2 - turn, 1 - 2 - stupid dog get out the way - turn...

    We have a tiny garden :(

    I have had my first night staying awake watching over a poorly baby :(

    Benjamin was REALLY sick and floppy last night - scared the carp out of us. He slept in our bed in the end and was last sick at 4.30am. He has fed twice since then and seems to be keeping it down but he is still not 100%


    Got to run - love to all.


    Oh - and we have had a visit from AF at MFD towers ;)

    Oh, that place looks fab! :D I agree, might do you good to get out and mix with others. The fresh air as you walk there would be good too. Go for it! Want you back here later telling us you're starting on Monday, okay? ;)
