    Morning all..

    Congrats Bruno and Mrs B :D Hope all goes smoothly xx
    *hugs* for all the poorlies and especially the exhausted mummies xxx

    Sami, mum just wants her own :p I'm disorganised enough, I don't need swapping pushchairs between car boots to deal with in the mornings too! ;)

    Rhys woke in the middle of the night, 3 something I think, so I brought him in with us.. purely because he was looking so cute and I wanted a cuddle :o He was practically asleep again as soon as he touched our mattress. OH woke up with both Rhys' arms wrapped around his, too cute :D

    We're off to the ILs this afternoon but just chilling out 'til then :)

    Hope everyone has a good day and Katie's party is fab! (it is today, isn't it? Or is it tomorrow? :o) xxx

    Ooh congrats Bruno! :D

    Aless, being all-baby-all-the-time does take its toll, it's just that i don't have anyone to moan about it to (except you lot lol). It's currently being solved by a stint in the L&G so we can breathe separate air for 5 mins. :rotfl:

    morning :D

    sister is on the last leg of her journey...tram from manchester picadilly to Radcliffe. then just a few mins walk. says she is shattered but is ok.

    off to catch up on last nights posts :)
    What a wonderful Sister you have Jillie! I have tears in my eyes at her determination to not let the silly little matter of a volcano erupting stop her seeing her wonderful sis and nephew! :T

    ooh wonderful news from Bruno-land! :j As everyone says 2nd time is more crampy, I also had an implantation bleed around this time which scared the wotsit out of me!
    E sounds deeeelightful! I'm loving tummy licks :rotfl: and red shoes are definitely something to be proud of! :cool:
    Oh Bruno, how is breastfeeding at the moment? Is Mrs M planning on tandem feeding?

    It can get uncomfortable breastfeeding through pregnancy due to the changes in breast tissue. It can also affect the taste of the milk so quite a few babies/toddlers can wean themselves... But if she's able to stick with it, feeding an older child can help relieve engorgement when the new baby arrives and the milk comes in... ;)
    oh no tandem feeding, I'm currently in a not liking the BF mood (sore nips :() whenever I'm in a downer on it I get scared that I'll end up tandem feeding, which I'm not against per se but I feel it would facilitate a much older BFing child and I'm not wanting to be feeding Ed past 3yo really.

    Not really looking for advice/wise words just wanted to get it 'out there':o

    Happy Birthday Ladybird!
    I'm most pleased that I was the 1st to say happy b-day to mooki because I was up until silly o'clock last night lol

    Fair enough elle :)

    Oh and random fact, Chris found some of my old photos, bits n bobs at mum's last night and in it was a list of baby names (I have been obsessed with listing baby names since I was about 8yo) That one had Alice as the 1st choice girls name

    Oh Nico, you just reminded me about homework... Aimee'll be pleased ;)
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Argh I have a terrible dilemma: I can cancel my Copenhagen hotel without charge if I do it in the next four hours, otherwise I have to pay one night cancellation fee. But there's no word yet on the conference so if I cancel and it goes ahead we have nowhere to stay, but if I don't cancel and it doesn't go ahead then I'm out money. The airport is closed until at least 7pm tonight, but after that who knows?!

    Edit: I was just looking at a dress sale online and the only two dresses I liked happened to be called Molly and Matilda, both of which are names I love :D
