    ((hugs)) Dora, I'm sure little one is OK with his Dad... OH just needs to cool off... Is he close to his family, would he of taken LO to the in-laws?
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...

    Ooh Rmac, I'd love a lasagne right now!
    .

    so would I! LO eats at 5ish and I eat with DH about 8 - 8.30pmish. I'm starving tonight though. Los was a portion I'd kept from another day. It's chicken for DH and I tonight - with rice, veggies and whatever sauce I can bring myself to make.

    I'd prefer take away though - I'm feeling 'naughty' in the food dept today.

    You sure you wanna know?

    Me and DH had an almighty row before anyway he stormed off upstairs on to the effin computer, so I took LO up too and asked DH to have him, he wouldn't take him off me, cue another arguement. I put LO in his room so I could have a cry on my own as I don't like him seeing me upset. Anyway DH decided to come have another go ate, I told him I was p1ssed off, he couldn't understand why and then told me he was off and taking LO with him. That was 2hrs ago I dunno where he's gone or anything. He won't answer his phone? As he walked out the door he said "have a nice life".
    The thing is at the moment I couldn't care less about him but I need to know that my little boy is safe.

    hugs - LO will be safe.

    question - what are yo uall doing for new year? Our families all have plans which we can't/don't want to get involved in and most of our friends already have non baby friendly plans and/or babysitters organised. I'm looking for inspiration......

    Hello all. I did introduce myself a few weeks ago when I was looking for some breast feeding advice when I was still pregnant ( I am the one who had breast cancer a few years ago and wanted help re feeding with 1 breast only).

    Well, I now need to introduce you to David (can you see him in my avatar?) - he was born 2 1/2 weeks ago and is a little angel. He wouldn't latch on initially so we started to cup feed him and syringe feed him hand expressed breast milk. He still isn't fantastic at latching on but he has more feeds than not now via my breast :j

    I *think* I am now finding my feet with this motherhood lark and my DH has been a sweetheart. He says that it is my job to look after our son and his job to do everything else! I have forgotten what the oven and washing machine look like :eek: Long may it continue!

    Anyway, enough of my rambling. I look forward to getting to know you all better

    Not really much inspiration here.. We're just going to be at home, just the three of us, purposely avoiding everyone and everything else! :p Probably a bottle of something fizzy (not lemonade!) and playing with Rhys' new toys.

    I guess this year could all have turned out very different to how we expected so we're just grateful for a bit of normality after all ;)

    elle - that sounds lovely - and probably what we will end up doing too.

    When I was younger new year was always a much bigger event for us than Christmas, so just finding it a bit odd adjusting :D

    my mum and sis are over and mum has already said she will look after Kian if we wnt to go out. i'm not fussed tbh and would prefer to stay in. but DH wants to go out. he says that as Kian is far to young to understand bout new year and that we hardly ever get to go out on our own that we should go out. which will be 1 or 2 local pubs. bit of a boogie with friends and copious amounts of alcohol. dh will get really drunk and i'll feel guilty bout leaving Kian at home on NYE....
