OK C in bed asleep but don't know how long it will last. Was lovely to meet so many people today and all the lickle ones. I must get out a bit more with C and get her meeting new babies, just not sure where I will find the time - I always seem to be busy doing nothing and will be back to working in 8 weeks :eek:

Anyway, if anyone is bored, this link should work to the rest of our pics - but the best one was the one I posted. Am still very pleased with them.

Glam - you have FAR more patience than I ever would. In fact, a lot of you ladies with less-than-helpful OHs do. I would've told him to get stuffed ages ago as I'm a firm believer in equal partnership. I'd tell him if he's going to act like a sperm doner, you're going to start treating him as such!!

(even though I'm on mat leave, my DH still helps out with some cleaning/housework and deffo helps with Finn loads!)

its trying to keep on top of it all thats the hard part right now lol! its hard with him here as sometimes i go to say something then i remember and walk away. then he will say things and i get upset. such as the other day i was stressed and he came over and cuddled me, i started to cry and then later he said something about enjoying the cuddles to much and not wanting to go? im hurt and angry with him but i do still love him (stupid i know) but right now i need to be strong and sort myself out and put me first

ss- While you are here, I have been meaning to ask for ages... What is the work that you do? I understand you are writing a research paper, is this because you are employed as a researcher or is it part of a phd?? Sorry for being nosey but it sounds fascinating and I keep forgatting to ask you about it:)

I'm a post-doctoral researcher, so the PhD is finished and I'm gaining experience to make me a more employable prospect in the future

The paper is a discussion of philosophical counselling versus psychotherapy in terms of integrating the most useful bits of both into something that works at least as well as both.

Caz, it really is great that you sound so positive.

Edit: and aless I'm much the same way. OH is a great dad and a wonderful husband, but sometimes he can miss things that need doing and I'm not averse to "reminding" him. I wouldn't put up with him telling me things weren't good enough if he wasn't doing his share.

got-it-spend-it

If you need a project Caz, my house could do with a spruce up!

Aless- I totally agree with you! The only thing I do solely is cooking as OH hates it and I love it! Washing, cleaning, tidying etc I am happy to share.

Susan- sounds like you have a good plan in place ahead of baby #2.

Glam - Sami suggested the Lowry as I'm there with Katie on the 7th April to see the Gruffalo, but don't worry we can't arrange anything for then as I'll just book the day off.

Choppy - I know it's such a coincidence. I had to shorten mine down though as I went to school with 3 other girls with the same name.
