    OMG, I lost the ability to post just then. It kept telling me that I hadn't got permission to post. I've been messing around with my profile (I finally have a sig :D. Sami - can you add it to the first page please?) and then couldn't do anything.

    Then I realised I'd changed my registered email address and it was waiting for me to verify it before it would let me post again.

    OH OH and I too am 5 foot 3 and a half!!! :rotfl:

    Seth is for the second night in a row refusing to go down to sleep :( last night he screamed for half an hour before I gave up and brought him downstairs again, the first time ever I've given in and brought him back down, and tonight he seems to be doing the same thing again. OH is of the opinion that we should leave him to it and turn the TV up, cos we've never had a problem before, but I think I'm about to give in :(

    We have had a bit of this for the past week or so Em. I am trying to go with it for now and just plough on with the settling him as best I can. They are starting to process so much more now (don't you find that their understanding of language is really coming on) and I think there is a bit of separation anxiety mixed in too. It is just an age thing.

    Having said that, after having a chat with hubby last night and with CM about it today we decided to keep him up until 8pm...and he promptly fell asleep after his bottle at 7pm *rolleyes*
    i think im one of the tallest ... im 5ft 8" x

    I am 5' 9"



    We have had some sad news yesterday. One of hubbys lads has got cancer :( not sure at the moment if it is rectal or colon but either way it is not good at all. The bloke was working in Plymouth so hubby had to get him on a train back asap. Everyone is devastated, it is only a small company and the blokes are all very close. Hubby has known him for 20 odd years and has taken it very hard. The next few weeks and months are going to be very tough all around.

    Baby C was conceived as my "welcome home" when I'd been away on my own for a month for my sister's wedding in Australia!

    thats one hell of a welcome home present :rotfl:x

  • Tia - link as requested - I like the idea as I felt quite detached for a while after DD was born - being pg was unreal enough for me and not seeing DD come out made it feel all the more alien IYKWIM.

    I can't plan when to give birth as if it happens it happens, if I did have a choice it wouldn't be between September and December as I have 9 birthdays already.

    Choppy - like your new avvy!!!

    MFD - sorry to hear about DH's workmate. Fingers crossed it can be treated and he gets well soon xx

    MDW - My friend is currently saving as she will need to have IVF again to have her second. She got the first one on the NHS but must pay for the 2nd time - she is hoping to start treatment around the same time as we are.
