    Well after an interesting night in her new room, Amber is still asleep. She was awake around 7ish when I sneakily looked in, but she was just playing so I left her and went back to bed. Just got up and shoved DS1 out the door and she is still sleeping. Do I go back to bed? hehe!

    But just so you're not jealous, I was up at 1am, 2.30am. 3am, 4.15am and then 6am with Christopher, so althoutgh Amber sleeps, I'm still up with him most nights.

    She looks all lost in her big cot :(

    PP, phone payroll yourself, by the sound of it your manager doesn't give a !!!!. What a cow.

    ETA, pure lazyness that Christopher is still off nursery, he's fine now, I just can't be bothered taking him and DH is doing over time.

    Morning all..

    Rhys is still asleep and I think he slept through (well, I did anyway! :p) :o

    Play specialist due here at half ten (new thing to show her - reaching out from slouching back) then Boogie Babies at half one for us today. Hope the rain holds off cos it looks miserable outside. If Rhys is tired out afterwards, we'll nip into town to get new bottles and spend the Boots vouchers we got from the Engage Mutual CTF. Paid our first DD (then cancelled it) on 1st March and the vouchers arrived on 18th, if anyone's still waiting for theirs :)

    Hope everyone has a better day and a nap xx

    That happened to me too which I was very :mad: about as I'd said I didn't want one unless it was an emergency which it wasn't.

    ETA: But apparently having had an episiotomy doesn't affect your chances of tearing/having one again in the future. (According to NICE they are supposed to tell you this.)

    I was told that if I didn't push, they'd cut me. I pushed! I'm not sure they are supposed to threaten you like that. I'm glad they did though, I was really on the brink of a c-section and I'm glad they did everything they could so I could have a natural birth.

    I was pushing under threat of episiotomy too as I knew they wanted to do one - I didn't know they'd done it. I also had five people hollering, "Push!" I am wording my birth plan for next time very carefully and very clearly.

    Alice is three in a month and she's still got one to come (and the most recent three just came in the last two or three months).

    I think they said something similar on OBEM in the first episode Feely so it's probably quite common...

    Met a friend of mine halfway to school so she took Aimee the rest of the way... Fingers crossed they won't ring me to fetch her today... I'm out all day with my Nan so it will be a nuisance if they do.... I think she's fine, and she was pretty much fine yesterday after an hours nap so I think she was swinging the lead a touch...

    I also found out (through earwigging) that if she took 60p a week into school she could have biscuits at break time... Since September nobody has ever told me!!! Her teacher said she often gets something out of her lunchbox when the others are having biscuits so today I put her a couple of chocolate chip cookies in there... It works out cheaper for me that way... As long as I don't eat the rest of the packet and have to buy more... :cool:

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Krystal, the school must be making a tidy profit on 60p for a few biscuits :eek:

    (edit, oh a WEEK, that's not too bad then - lol!!)
