    I have done ZIP all, I have clothes hanging up to dry, which I can't pack until tomorrow. *SIGH* Late night again.

    I'm worried about OH, well more like his lack of effort when I'm away. When he makes Keira her dinner he always goes for easy options (fish fingers) but he never serves it with anything, no vegetable (It's not hard to micro two tablespoons of peas !!!!!!!) and no carb like rice/noodles/plain pasta/mashed potato. She is never going to stop being a faddy eater if she is just getting what she DOES eat on her plate at every meal.

    He has been told not to do that, he's too lazy to peel a few tatties you see. I will be phoning and asking Keira what she has eaten! Also, he better keep up with the cat litter, and feeding them, also he better remember the times for Keira's nursery aswell AND he better not just sit on his playstation the whole time. He BETTER play with her, she always says to me that "Daddy never plays with me" Which breaks my heart, he does play WITH her, just not so much with toys together? He is normally tired after work though, but then he shouldt stay up until stupid o clock on the console.

    Guess Im fretting about nothing but I have ot go to lidl before I go tomorrow to get in yoghurts/fruit/bread/milk/eggs just to ensure that she has snacks, breakfasts and lunches available!

    omg my OH does exactly the same thing, lazy swine that he is!! and he says jake is like he is cos im too soft!! pah dont think so, he'd literally bring him in a plate of nuggets! "cos he wont eat anything else so whats the point in wasting it" well he's never gonna try if its not on his plate in the first place lol!!! he normally does sandwiches cos he classes sticking something in the oven and taking it out 20 mins later as 'cooking'

    i nearly had a party the other day when jake had a nibble of pasta lol, and that was only cos i promised ice cream lolly for afters, bribery def works!!

    BM - I have that with my DH but with him it's not laziness he doesn't eat vegetables so it doesn't occur to offer Katie any.

    I'm lucky with Katie though as she will go to the fridge and help herself to the veggies in there and start munching on them

    Night, work in the morning.

    I love my mei tai - C feels really secure in it. They're easy to do once you get the hang of it.

    We're having yet another session at the CMs today. 5 hrs so hopefully we'll build on yesterday and she'll be ok for longer. Have tried to express some BM for her, can't seem to do it very well with the hand pump so doing it by hand. Have got about 2oz so far though. But she doesn't really like the bottle when she's there - I sent her with 1.5oz yesterday + a bottle of formula. CM said she was ok with the EBM in that she didn't fight the bottle, but she didn't really drink any either. She'll be having lunch and snacks though so I'm not too worried. I'll make sure she has a feed before I take Josh to school.

    Edit: How are things for you kindof? Are your contractions getting any stronger? (if that's what they were!)

    Hope you all have a lovely day - I'll probably be on later when I'm baby free again!

    Im having bad pains in my lower back (they really hurt, made me cry twice so far which has made me feel like a wuss) cramps in the front (but back is worse) and very tight belly

    I dont know if they are the real deal (I flipping hope so) or how to time them? when would you start timing them as soon as the back pain starts or as soon as the belly tightens?

    IIRC Jack slept from 2.30am til 7am without waking up :j

    Glad there wasn't too much talking last night ;)

    Elle - are you OK? I saw Sami's post last night and I've been meaning to ask of your whereabouts for a few days but keep forgetting :o

    Got 5 big jobs to do today and again tomorrow so won't be around much especially as I need to squeeze slingy in between visits tomorrow!

    Boo - I'm still OK to pick you up from the station though if you like as either of the stations aren't a millions miles out the way :)

    I always pick out things I don't like and pile them on the side of my plate :o It used to be kidney beans from a chilli but I like them now. I was THE Fussiest eater ever when I was a kid but better now, I don't like fish or most vegtables but I make sure I eat plenty of what I do like.
    Jack had cucumber sticks yesterday and loved them! :D

    kindof, I don't know! I never got the hang of timing mine :o they always seemed to sneak up out of nowhere so by the time I figured out I was having one, it was half over and then I couldn't tell when it ended, either!

    bleurrrgh, someone decided they were going to kick off at 4am so we're a bit bleary-eyed chez Aless.

    Glam, there must be WAY more MS jobs up north as it's pretty slim-pickings for me! Are you signed up lots of companies or just a few?
