    Weezl - how are you? Is OH a bit more rested, and found the balance between helping and overdoing it?


    Random thing, who had the biggest baby?

    Wow Feelie what an epic catch up and great memory!

    I just asked OH, and he thinks he is more rested now and it really helped that I did the washing up rather than napping today:o

    biggest baby? Def not me! I know seth and benjamin were bigger, and Ed was 8lb somefing. SB's Jamie would be my best guess, at 10lb sommat?

    Dylan didnt get cooled , but then he was nearly 4 hours old before they realised how low his saturation was, so that may be why, or that Northern Ireland is the last o get any new medical trials :rolleyes:
    Sounds good though, hope they do it from now on if it helps :D

    The consultant's words to us were "We tried it cos we thought we had nothing to lose" - aka they thought he wouldn't make it anyway! :rolleyes: HA @ them! :p

    Elle - I don't have a tray, as I don't use the bumbo much. It makes LO throw up! Does Philli count as a soft cheese? I wouldn't give it to LO.it's fine for babies:)

    Random thing, who had the biggest baby?

    as other said SB wins the big baby comp I think and Tigs wins teeniest, I wonder if anyone falls exactly in the middle :think:
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    Tara - that's great news!

    Molly and I have been napping, one on each of Daddy's shoulders. We slept really well, him not so much.

    All our bedding is in a hot wash and we're about to vacuum the bed and the crib. I think whatever's biting me is doing it in bed, so we're after it with extreme prejudice.

  • Well, Hugh is now sleep/feeding on my lap...he feeds a lot during the day, especially in the evening. We are looking forward to when he is old enough for a high chair as at the moment he sits on DH's knee whilst we are eating. He either stares meaningfully at me :o or plays with his bath thermometer (yes, he has his baths on the kitchen table!)...which we figure is better than when he tries to push plates or cutlery around!

    I have pitiful stores of EBM in the freezer....I never seem to find the time to pump anymore. Still, as the little monkey appears to have decided that he doesn't do bottles anymore, this is a bit of a moot point! I got a stomach bug whilst we were away and I really wished that DH could have done some feeds then! Hugh got very confused as he would be happily feeding away only to be yanked off whilst I ran to the loo. At one point he then refused to go back on and I had to feed him on the other side :confused:. I think I rubbed off half my hands with alcohol gel!
