    Alice is bringing an imaginary cow down stairs. It's a right nuisance that imaginary cow.

    Is it just me, or would anyone else love for Susan's Alice to meet Becles' Charlotte and to be a fly on the wall listening to their conversation?
    we didnt manage a group photo .. we forgot :o x
    Did anyone take any pics? I'd love to see them..


    WorkinMummy - Joe and Alex look identical!

    Mel - yay for Kai for the weetabix success :j

    Em - glad Seth's eating more, but sorry to hear about the 5am bath. Hope he continues to get better.

    Jam - what a gorgeous picture. Charlotte is a real beauty.

    Glam - OH should be lucky he got anything at all. I'm going out tomorrow night (twice in two weeks by myself - ooh er!) and I may or may not prepare DH something depending on how much time I have. And, I'm not planning to go out tomorrow, although my sister is coming to visit. Even though I'm still on ML, DH still does a fair bit round the house - probably about 30% of cooking and washing, about 50% of hoovering and 100% of bin emptying (0% dusting and bathroom cleaning though!). I actually feel guilty that I don't do more :o.

    SM - I might be able to do a Meadowhall meet too, depending on when it is. I haven't been there for years. I've got family in Sheffield so go up that way a few times a year. It's a 2 hour journey each way for me though.

    Elle - loving the tum picture! Hope you and Claire had fun today. DH and I were talking about heading up your way again later in year for a few nights, but haven't decided anything for definite yet, as we're booked to go on this (linkie supplied just to make MFD a teensy bit jealous :D)

    sami, I hope you see this later,
    ...
    I guess these should go in labour bag too? Or will I most likely be out again by the time they become niagara boobies?
    I saw :) you won't be going to hospital ;) but if YOU do then I'd guess you would be there a few days so take them. *shrugs*

    Weezl, don't know if this will mean anything to you but the ARM midwives are pretty unanimous in thinking that delayed clamping/cutting and natural 3rd stage is the 'best' way

    I'm just skimming to catch up a bit xx
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    Haha my dh is the bin emptier too...I hate doing it. He also sorts the dishwasher every now and then, when I nag usually, and apart from that he doesn't do much else, although he is the tea maker I barely make 1cup of tea a day:)

    lots for me to think about over the coming months... Vasectomy, kids, career, fostering(if we are allowed?) All heavy stuff.... But for now I am going to sign off and eat my peanuts and drink my coke.

    Sami, you reminded me that I meant to respond on that too. I had delayed clamping and a natural 3rd stage as they just seemed 'better' IMO. Well the natural 3rd stage was more because I'd already not had drugs in my system for the labor, so why bother then? It really didn't take that long, didn't hurt, and was kinda a nice 'breather' waiting for it before getting moved from the pool room to my room/bed (chatted casually with MWs while DH held Finn).

    As a lefty, I applaud Benjamin's efforts :D.

    Bruno & DK...my organisation are moving to Farringdon so I won't be in Victoria after my ML is over. Boo, hiss! I will miss it!

    boogelly - can you not do housework while Isla is in the sling? This is what I do as for the first few weeks it was the only way I could get stuff done as Finn wanted constant holding.

    aha, I remember my question: anyone know where to get nursing bras in mahoosive sizes other than Bravissimo? I'm talking more than G cup, as that's where a lot of websites stop their size offerings.
