    Morning, I'm feeling quite excited today. I'm seeing a friend tomorrow-and her new baby :) He decided to come 2 weeks early, and as it's her first i was quite shocked when she messaged me to say he'd arrived already! :)

    Keely.

    Fritha I haven't tried her on my back, i'm scared of dropping her. You terrify me when you fling Celia over your head onto your back. :eek:

    That isn't the only way of getting her up there just my preferred way! To start with do it over a bed with somone lurking nearby to catch just in case, we've done it a lot now so we're used to it!

    Fritha - thanks for the reassurance re: BFing and co-sleeping

    You're quite welcome, I've no idea what I said but hooray for reassurance! Sami is right btw there's a theory that says she is confident because she's confident to say what she wants.

    Fritha how do you win a Wii in a 'roundabout' fashion? As opposed to just winning a Wii? :D

    Kindof it lights up and plays music for 5 mins as opposed to 3 seconds like most other toys.

    *grumbles* I'm in the office waiting for it to be time for my 12pm appointment. I need some information from a form in the safe at home and OH is not answering Gmail chat requests, which are getting increasingly stroppy.

    Keely, what a cute picture! And nikkit too and Jillie and I'm not scrolling any higher because I'll be here all day looking at your cute babies (although if you're around Aless I require a baby pic from you).

    In the nick of time I've pulled together an outline for the paper I'm writing. Hurrah! My meeting is salvaged.

    So tired. We all went to bed at 8pm. And I'm still drooping over my desk. The departmental secretary is horrified at my relative lack of clothing because I have on only two layers and it's minus 6 outside. She doesn't realise that my minion left the radiators cranked up to full overnight and it is a sauna in here.

    Morning all, sickness has left this house :D

    Everyone was telling me I should keep Aimee off another day last night, let her recover properly... This morning she came bouncing into my bedroom all happy to tell me she was better and she could go to school... And best of all, she wouldn't be ill for her birthday!!!
    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.
