    KOAG it sounds like you're stocking up on energy for a long night.........

    So it turns out that there's a course I have to go on the weekend of my BIL's wedding. So I can't go to the wedding. HOWEVER ... the course is in NYC!!

    EEK SS that would be great lol :)

    OH has got me a card for mothers day aww :) I was looking online for presents for my mam for mothers day and OH piped up "do I have to get you something" and I didnt say anything

    Cos even though beany isnt here yet and he might not be here by then (god I hope he is) I would think that yes OH should get me a presents cos I will for him on fathers day?

    Does that make sense, or am I just being present greedy lol

    sympathy .. funny though when zoe was little she used to stay at afamily members once a weekend eg her aunts or my parents when we were ok .. but the thought of being away from jayden i fear .. but everything he does scares me more then zoe for some reason i see him as more fragile x

    harley when i went back to work after erin she did not feed for the whole day, she would take solids but refused a cup and bottle. it was a routine of me walking in the door and feeding her as i was bursting and she was starving! after a few weeks she started to take a bottle and it did settle down!
    Thanks caz, she took some solids last week and did have about 2-3oz throughout the day. I was called up to go feed her as she had been crying but when I got there she was asleep. If it hadn't been for that I probably would have been bursting too. Good to know that she might start to take a bottle eventually though.

    You are so lucky. Can Kezia and I come with you, she is very good for cuddles and I don't think I snore:T (and would stretch to a cuddle or two too, since it's you)

    I would hold fire on this until after bubs has arrived as I ended up with 3 of these and have barely got much info in one. Though that might be cos I don't have time and it would probably be a lovely thing for OH to do to feel involved. But I'm sure someone will buy you one as a gift, if not try ebay, I can't possibly be the only one who had several.

    And back on the expressing front, I just got another .5 of an oz. Woohoo. Think I'm getting the hang of it now.

    I'm glad i didn't get the Loola, that is one pushchair I was going to get but got a graco instead (which I sold after 3mths anyway:o) I love, love, love my new pushchair but will only be using it for about a year so will need to buy a single after that, and go through the whole dilemma again!!

    Sami - Your in-laws sound fab:) My sister has been lucky enough to be with a guy who's parents are well off too. She moved in with them last year but because the house wasn't very big and my sis and her fianc! were spending most of the time squashed into a tiny bedroom, they have gone and moved into a big 4 bed house and given them two double rooms that are connected so they can use one as a living room, they also have their own bathroom:T

    I hope I get something for Mother's day, well just to get brekkie in bed and not have to sort lunches and dinner iykwim? I do it every day of the year pretty much so a proper day off would be just as nice as a pressie, although I doubt I will get either. Dh mum has just been on the phone asking if we will sell her the mobile phone her boyfriend has been borrowing off us, dh has agreed, stating that he can put it towards a scotoiler for his stupid motorbike!! No thought about the fact that it is mothers day next week:(
