    I know what you are saying - his first suggestion was he would work from home one day whilst watching J which I told him was impossible. He is starting to want to do more now BIL has gone (*rollseyes*) including wanting to be more involved in bedtime routine & has changed more nappies recently including 2 dirty ones.
    If we sort the sleeping out then it wouldn't be a problem - maybe one day when he's off in May I'll get him to do it all for a day. I have to give the creche a months notice to decrease and would need to square things with work so it maybe something we look at doing from June and not right away IYSWIM.

    Thanks - it was something I hadn't thought of properly!

    Evening, i did start catching up but there's so much since i last posted i gave up!
    I got to Kindof's fridge door falling off. Something similar happened to me when i was pg, except it was a door of a public toilet :eek:
    I just propped it against the wall and left :o Ah well, they are skanky toilets anyway :rotfl:

    Anything major after kindof's fridge door incident and now? :D

    I got my free books from the TOMMY charity today, one about TTC and one about healthy pregnancy and a pregnancy leaflet.

    I also finally have my birth to 5 book! :j

    We have started giving Lily cooled water now in between bottles. We think sometimes she is thirsty as she'll cry for a bottle after drinking almost 6ozs 2 hours previously.
    But she loves the water! She drank about 3ozs so far today :)

    very interesting.

    What's your ideal ratio/number of biologically yours:adoptively yours children?

    If you don't mind me being nosey:o
    Ideally an unrealistically large number.
    Realistically: Me either 2:4, 3:3 or 4:2, OH I imagine slightly lower (probably 2:2, 3:1 or 4:1) but he has agreed to a minimum total of 4. Ideally I would want us to adopt a sibling group because they are harder to place and can end up being separated if nobody is willing to adopt them as a group. I also looked into adoption from China (because we disagree with their horrific birth control policies/methods) but we would be low down on the priority list (the older you are and the less children you have already the higher chance you have) and also we don't earn enough to meet the income requirements.

    Not much to tell really - just took me a long time to get better. off all meds now and able to look after baby 24/7 on my own which is lovely. only got the normal worries now like the odd bad night and general normal knackeredness associated with motherhood:D
