choccie - yeay for your DD getting the school you wanted I think the Dumbo rats are what we will get, good to know the girls are better smell wise than boys! Our only issue is we need a bigger place, the dog would hate them being a terrier and we have a tiny 1 bed at the mo.

They do completely wind our cat up! It's quite amusing tho cos in the evening we have to bring kids hamster cages down as they're too noisy to stay in kids rooms :mad: and the rats live in the lounge anyways and when the cat is in in the evening he is just totally p*^^*d that there are 4 rodents running around looking all delicious behind bars and he can't get to them:rotfl:
Although he tends to ignore them now unless they're having hyper moments:rotfl:

Yeah, i know it is likely to be really hard and painful for a while, but i have to say i am pretty determined to be a BF-er, not in a stubborn way as i know every baby is different and i have no idea what will happen, at the end of the day you want you both to be happy, but i really believe in BFing so i am gonna try and power through! no doubt i will have a few days/weeks when i'm in agony though. SJ seems to have got on really well with it from the word go though which is encouraging!

don't think i'll be wielding my toothbrush anywhere near that area anyway!!

Just wanted to say that I have only had a couple of days painful breastfeeding in the 3+ months I have been exclusively BFing Henry. It is so, so worth it if want to do it, and I agree with MGEB that it is far less hassle the FF once you get established. I wouldn't swap my time feeding H for anything!

I don't know if you are all aware but Primark have those 'breastfeeding' nighties for just £3.50 - i got a really cute one in grey with tiny white polkadots and black ribbon on the pocket! Prob just as good as as the mothercare ones...spesh as you might only be wearing it for a short while.

Just thought i'd let you all know as i just pulled mine out and instead of it going in the hosp bag i put it on I got one nighty(£3.50), one grey ribbed pair of cute pj's with button down front(£7) and a dark grey velour light dressing gown (£8) for my hosp bag - was quite impressed as they def don't look 'Primark'

Oh and what is it with not being able to shave your legs when your preg? - i have come out of the bath looking like Freddie Kruger shaved them for me LOL!

choccy - our dog is the largest of terriers so think labrador size, a cage wouldnt stop him getting at them! need a room with a door which atm we dont have as house is open plan apart from bathroom and bedroom.

gisi - thanks ther fab words of encouragement and I can see FF being a pain, so much prep and equipment!

mgeb - I have some pjs from primark that have poppers down the front and were in the sale, def cheaper than elsewhere and better looking too. And am guessing poppers are gonna be way easier than buttons too. The nightie you got sounds nice tho, might have to keep an eye out for it

Well 4th cup of RLT done and bubs is havin a lil fidget, had a few twinges going up to the loo so really hoping things wont be too long now (prays).

som.. I always maintained I breastfed because I was lazy!! FF is way too much like hard work!! The idea of getting out of bed to find and warm a bottle in the middle of the night makes me feel ill!

Just a quickie: if any of you are thinking of getting a sling, I can now recommend a peanut shell- I bought one yesterday in tkmaxx for £11 and it is fab. Both me and Alex love it.

1more.. I'd go for the 4d scan.. I HAVE to know I can't bear the thought of a surprise.. I hate surprises.. I insisted on another scan at 22 weeks with DD3 because she had been rolled up at 20 weeks... I needed to arrane her adoption had she been a boy.. I would not have brought her home!
