Wow, postie just arrived with six parcels! I think that's my part of the postal backlog cleared!

Jillie and Glam, please thank your fairies very much for me xx

Also to arrive was the Bumbo play tray, a Heinz baby food sample pack (full size box of baby rice, sample of follow-on milk and a sample of baby porridge, plus some vouchers) and birthday presents for OH and my colleague (for her Feb birthday ).

Yay for parcels. I like a good parcel fest!

Apart from madam's passport I got some shampoo to test today. But it smells of dog shampoo:eek:

That's great elle, what wonderful news!

It's been such a busy day, and Husband has been a major PITA. In the middle of the night we were all in bed and Molly managed to wriggle so I couldn't get my arm out from under her. I asked him for help and he dragged her off me, one-handed, so she woke up frightened and uncomfortable. I couldn't get her back off, and then he woke up snapping at me/us for her crying. So I snapped back and he stropped off to the sofa.

He took her from 7am and went out to the first appointment of the day, then brought her back starving via two(!) doctors' waiting rooms. He complained about the sick people he'd been gallantly protecting Molly from, but when I suggested that perhaps taking a tour of Swine Flu Central was ill-advised he retorted that there'd been only one sick person in both waiting rooms.

Fed her quickly and off to the rental insurance people. It's now six months since I left my old place and this is the last day my landlord had to legally return my deposit. It's not here so at 5pm I need to print out my bank statement showing its absence and from hereon in we're entitled to the full amount plus the highest amount of interest I pay out.

Then to the health insurance people for paperwork, then the post office, and back here. She's finally gone to sleep and I was able to send out the working paper I've been collaborating on after finally getting time to make my changes. The only sad thing is that there's a job I wanted to apply for, but the deadline's 5:30pm today and I've not time to organise my dossier. I'm feeling rather resentful, as it happens - if Husband had been able to mind Molly for more of the last couple of days I could have got it together

Poor you. I think you've said before that your OH is a very good-hearted man but can be thoughtless and selfish at times. I hope he makes it up to you when he realises he's done that again!

Right, don't want to get excited yet and I'm not 100%, but I think the letter is bascally saying the fluid from the haemorrhage we knew about (when Rhys was roughly 3wks old) is still there (we knew it was when he was 8wks old and assumed it'd stayed) and not drained away. That is what they want the Notts specialist to see him about which is probably to discuss putting a drain in to get rid of it - we were warned about that at the beginning but it was made out to be not a huge thing when you consider the end result.

The good news is that there is "no significant celebral atrophy" which is the damage / loss of cells in the brain which could have meant cerebal palsy, and also he is showing "no signs of intercranial pressure", meaning the fluid isn't causing him any problems at the minute..

Am quietly confident

YAY for Rhys. No cerebral atrophy. What unusual words to well up at. But I did

Yes, in answer to 3/feelie, at my anomaly scan I'd like to know the gender. I'm concerned about a couple of other things too so I hope to remember to ask after they've checked all that out! :rotfl:

Bruno, glad my thoughts earlier triggered some good action! See, sometimes it's good to be ON TOPIC ;)

Buttons, how you feeling?

Buttonmoons

I posted earlier that I wasn't, test said no and periods started.

Do you mean my mouth Feelie? It's a bit better now, but my front teeth feel weird cause there is a thicker layer behind them now? Been tryin to grind them down lol. All along my gums where I was stabbed with the needle has a white lump now. I count 16 of them :eek:

Funny though cause I've always needed more anthestic as it doesn't work as quick on me for some reason, and I got all those needles and he went through two pots of the stuff, OH got a quarter used on his mouth, and half his mouth nose and cheeks are still numb, where as mine wore off about an hour and a half ago!

Im clearly the sort of person who would wake up during surgery, paralyzed and feeling every cut!!

Elle - That is really positive news about Rhys, I bet you were so relieved:)

Weezl - When is your anomaly scan....you have probably posted over on the other thread so sorry if you are repeating yourself!

Kai just waltzed himself into the kitchen (in his walker) and went over to the washing basket, he pulled a ton of clean washing on top of himself, and all over the floor, and was trying to bring it out to me...hehe it was so high he could barely see over it:rotfl: he is foolish sometimes:p

OH and I have only been together since Jan 2008 and havent exactly been steady the whole time so I wouldnt feel comfortable in Aston living with him, he's not his 'dad' and I know Aston would much rather live with my Mum, and My mum wouldnt have it any other way anyway.

Weezl: I'm ok, tbh it's been on the cards and since he got back from spain everything seemed to change, i'm just gutted to Ryry but it' not fair on the kids if were not getting on.

Lol buttons, I wasn't being nosey, I was asking how your mouth was! Have you had any more attempts at eating pie?

AM - Is everything alright?

Sugar, sounds like you've managed to get lots done despite unhelpful OH.
