And I thought that I was knocking on a bit for a first timer :rotfl:

Thought I was the oldest first-timer round here? :rotfl: Don't think I'd have done it if I were older, and we both agreed we wouldn't pursue matters if it didn't happen naturally.

I'm glad you did tigs.

And so very glad about the documentary and therefore the extra scan.

Andrew and Rhys are our miracle babies.

amusing quote of the day from my DH: 'I gave him (fergie) some sweetcorn for tea last night so we could chart his transit time.'

9.5 weeks will fly, I'm sure. Sorry I wish my brain held onto details better, are you going on to another role, or are you plotting a life of SAHMness? x

Yeah, the bump does make some bits hard! Mostly I'm getting really creaky at lugging Fergus upstairs for naps. I've got a travel cot set up down here but he's really not keen. Must persevere!

Mainly to be SAHM, big step for me as I have a fairly decent job and wage a bit so am a bit scared at being financially reliant on another. May try to get some self employed contracty type stuff related to what I do now to keep my hand in, may do some voluntary stuff or may pop out a few more, or possibly a combination of all three!

Current dilemma is whether to keep childcare for one day a week in the hope that I get some work to keep ticking over, and to ease the transition, as she seems to love it so much and has only been for a few weeks. It is pricey, but may well motivate me to get some cash in to cover it. H sleeps in a travel cot in nursery, in a room full of activity no problems and I never thought she would so well worth persevering. They just put a blanket over the top of it!:rotfl:

Oh and I've been following your MFW thread, so will try and get me one of them too as it's something I'd (we'd) like to achieve soonish too.

Seconded Currently trying to encourage said miracle that sitting up would be a much better idea than laying on the floor to play.. lazy tyke! :cool:

Tiga, Rhys didn't have a BCG but B did *confused* Maybe it's because Andrew and B had more lung issues and were on oxygen longer than Rhys (or are we just missing out?! :cool:)

Ooooh all interesting thoughts. Hope the consultancy is a big success. Agree that being a 'kept woman' has some strange feelings associated, but childcare is such a valuable job, I need to keep bearing that in mind, not like any SAHM is a lady who lunches!!

Look forward to your MFW diary

No poos today, despite 17.5 ml of lactulose dosage originally was 2.5 ml, and we've just had to keep cranking it up

Didn't get the impression it was linked to prematurity or anything, really did get the impression that it was standard around here? (must live in a deprived area or something!)
