    Morning everyone :)

    Lily gave me two big open mouth smiles today, soo cute! She made a cute gurgly noise alongside them to :D
    Cant believe she's 4 weeks old tomorrow!

    Well i tried on my wedding dress, its great! The skirt is a bit to big but as it tucks up under the corset it gets a bit tighter. So i might get it taken it a bit :)

    I've decided not to have a veil, just a tiara. Need to go to the docs though, just before i got pregnant i got a load of spots on my back. And since she's been born they have gotten alot worse and they hurt! And i want them gone before the wedding.
    Im hoping the doc can give me a magic anti acne pill or something :rotfl::o

    I need to go to the library today, its lovely and sunny so i might put Lily in her sundress & show her off to people at work :D

    We have a similar situation with Finn...he would take bottles until he was around 8 weeks-ish old then for some reason I cannot remember we wound up not giving him one for about a week and then when I tried again, he point-blank has refused there on out. If I try and give it when he's hungry, he screams the house down. If I try and give it when he's only a tiny bit hungry he just lets it sit in his mouth and totally ignores its presence. Hadn't thought of the t-shirt idea, thanks!! Isla has me hopefuly we'll also turn a corner one day. Such contrary children we have! ;)

It's their loss really as as soon as it's back in my account I'm just going to book tickets with them! *rolleyes* I mean, I'm sure it's been refunded from their end but these stupid banking things take time and it's being verrrry slow with winding its way back to my account.

    Didn't get that far into it, she does have to always wear a padded bra though! :rotfl: She went to the GP and he said that some women just continue to lactate. Even though she didn't have that problem after her first.

    I'm off for a wander around the second hand market, last week there was a brand new M&P Luna pram for £50! It was still boxed up, I was tempted to get it and put it on ebay but would have struggled to get it home. I really need to learn to drive soon.

    Have a good day all x

    Oh I missed Alice stopping. Does that mean you are planning number 2 ;):D

    How do you know you still have milk?
    Well I'm not 100% sure she's stopped but I think she probably has - the longest she's gone before has been three weeks. The plan is to start TTC in the summer.

    If I do a little squeeze, I still get droplets of milk coming out. Every now and then I think, "I wonder if I still have milk?" and every time I've checked I did.

    Susan, I don't know, I'm not sure if there are restrictions in charity shops but regular shops won't return earrings. Are they pretty and could you maybe hoard them for regifting?
    Unfortunately I only have one relative I give presents to who has pierced ears and that is the one who gave them to me.

    My milk was gone within a few days of stopping BF with Amber, tbh it was going anyway. Was a few weeks with the boys (but I stopped at 1-2weeks). My friend still has milk now, she stopped at 6 months and her little girl is 3!
    Wow - I figured the longer you feed for the longer it will take to go away but I didn't imagine that.

    One of my RL mummy friends did a programme with him (I think it was him anyway) and she reckons not...

    ...but she is into all that stuff anyway - reckons her daughter sees things and is happy with it! She reckons she 'feels' stuff too.

    I smile and change the conversation when she talks about it!!


    Edit - hang on, have I got the wrong person?? Spot the woman who doesn't watch the tv!!! The one who talks to spirits?

    I dont think hes fake either, I am aware that MH claim to have "caught" him out but they imo were setting him up becuase egotistical yvette didnt like him beciming more famous than her.

    Ive watched a show with three people, derek, colin fry and john edwards, and its a audience show where they talk to people in audience, and none of those 3 are fakes.

    Obv there will always be skeptics (dont know if thaa the spelling lol) as there will be believers

    Feel bad now cos Evie's only had 3 bottles in her little life :o but she seems ok with them.

    First one about 5 weeks, 2nd about 6 weeks, then another last week at 13 weeks. She's taken them fine each time and all given by OH but she has wanted more from me straight after every time! (no matter how much has been in the bottle)

    Not gonna worry about it yet cos not back at work til end of August and don't wanna leave her for more than a couple of hours yet anyway - i miss her too much!! :rotfl:

    I've not fed since October (I think!), and don't leak, (TMI) but if I squeeze I can still get milk out. Not a lot mind.

    But I don't think my nips have been the same since I fed J - they've been sticky outy for 13 years iykwim!

    Benjamin refused for a while (maybe a week) and because I am a bad mummy ( ;) ) I just held him tight with the bottle in his mouth and rocked him whilst he cried. He took the bottle in the end (took me maybe 5 mins of full-on screaming). This kind of approach is not for everybody though and I probably wouldn't have liked it had anyone else done it to him...but it did stop the spell of refusing.

    *resists the urge to go and start squeezing in the office bathroom*

    Although I could never hand express anyway so I probably wouldn't be successful even if there was milk!



    LOL boo - have just reread your bit about your OH wearing your t-shirt :rotfl: the things we do!
