I've not fed her myself since 7am, felt too ill and even just the let down is painful, but I'm going to express soon see if that helps. I managed to eat a sandwich just now and have had some antibiotics so will see what happens.

How anxious are people about babies toddling with things in their mouths? All Elijah wants to do now is to is to take practice walks from one piece of furniture to the next, while biting/sucking/chewing on all kinds of things where I have horrible visions of him falling and impaling the back of his mouth.

Tia, I'd stick to pumping quite regularly, then weaning off the pump slowly. If you have oversupply issues, you are risking more blocked ducts or mastitis. Or slowly wean LO off the breast.

piccies please?

do you feel pampered?

I shall get DH to take one later! I feel refreshed, had a lovely head massage at the backwash had to try really hard not to fall asleep! Then I could feel my head bobbing when my hair was being dried, didn't think I was that tired!

I'm feeding the boy.. again! :rolleyes:

My dad's just gone and mum left earlier whilst I was napping on the sofa OH has just gone to the shop for chocolate for me too. Don't know why but I'm fancying chocolate and I've eaten everything he bought last time... on, oh, Wednesday :eek: :cool:

I told my parents about the Saudi job to sound them out. Needed to know they'd support us in it, plus wanted Dad's opinion as he's worked all over the world (as a Captain of oil tankers). He immediately said "go for it!" which reassured me.

Oh, my sister just showed up.. ttfn x

I know a number of people who go back and forth to Saudi regularly without any issues at all. You might not want to live there given certain aspects of their culture/law, but visiting is no problem at all send him on his way!

The boys had a habit of doing it and always managed to spit it out before they fell.. which was nice when it usually ended up trampled into carpet or something. They seem to use their mouths to hold things when toddling, like a pocket that tastes and lubricates!

Pumped both of them out and it does feel a lot better. Red patches have appeared now in different places to last time. Will try feeding later on.

How do you do the speardsheet?
I need to sort something out, we are scrimping atm.

I've got a budgeting spreadsheet that I got from a mystery shop where I had to pretend I couldn't budget. It's really useful. You can fill in your income and outgoings and it works out what you have left (or not!) and calculates how much of your budget you spend on food, debts etc. If you know how to use Excel, you can tweak it and add extras in depending on what you earn/spend. If you want a copy, PM me your email address and I'll send it to you.

Ahhh I remember now!
I still haven't come on, it's been 8 weeks since I had my LMP, done a test last week and still a BFN, what shall I do?
Shall I just wait for it to come or 'consult a doctor'
I wouldnt normally care but it's just the not knowing.

I would get checked out just in case. Worrying too much about it not coming can make it come late too!

Nobody talk about X Factor, I've not seen it yet.

Spoke to OH, I can start driving lessons when he starts new job in a fortnight! Now to find an instructor!

elle_gee

Not watching it, feelie Fab news about the driving lessons! Took me four times to pass my test and I've been in some scrapes since :whistle: but it was all worth it!

I uploaded the video of Rhys rolling as requested. Did you see it?
