    :eek: It sounds like you are doing far too much. I'm know I'm probably a bit extreme in that I don't do anything for Mother's Day and refuse to be involved with what OH does for his mum but even so I can't understand why you are having to do so much - isn't it just supposed to be doing things for your own mum? At the very least I would expect your OH to contribute to what is done for his own mum. I hope I don't sounds too unreasonable in what I've said as I know I'm a bit biased against Mother's Day.

    Ditto. X:D

    Hi all, hope everyones well,

    not been on in a few days, been quite busy!! thanks AF for Jasmines birthday wishes!

    My poor little boy took a tumble at nursery yesterday had a golf ball sized lump on his head so had to keep a eye on him last nite, he seemed ok but he's been suffering with a cough for weeks and ended up being sick last night and I didnt know whether it was cos he was coughing loads or because of the bump, anyway took him docs this morning his head is fine no concussion or anything but he was really wheezy so the doc gave him a inhaler! really hope it helps him as he's been a little out of breath with all the coughing today!

    Evening everyone

    Hugs all round.

    I finally had enough of coughing today and went my GP - she listened to my chest and stuff but couldn't hear anything so she said give it a few more days as it might clear up - I have prescription just in case.

    I've just cut Izzys fringe without any backup - now it is far too short and a bit wonky. Will have to take pictures tomorrow to document my handywork (not for future blackmail purposes honest ;) ).

    If anyone comments.. say she did it herself!!!

    Searching I don't NEED a hug, but I'm always happy to have one :)

    Kindof - could be a growth spurt. You never know with babies! If she is feeding loads she is probably trying to up your supply, so just go with the flow and it will calm down in a day or so. You need to master the art of reading/chatting with us on the lappy/playing playstation games while feeding. It makes the whole thing a lot more bearable :)

    LOL Ive no idea how you do it all lol, he is on formula so its not the milk thing?

    We think its too hot in here for him cos it is very hot even though the heating has been off for ages, so OH currently has him upstairs with both bedroom windows open, and he just has his vest on and OH is giving him a bottle of water, cos he just fed so he can't be hungry (I hope)

    Awww GISI I would totally be the same as you

    Aless snap on the bad sleeping at the minute (((hugs)))

    I've got the DLA forms to look forward to this week as i've just realised his award runs out in January 2011. I hate, hate, hate them because you have to write/see all the negative bits down in black and white - i'll just have to keep the good bits in my mind.

    I did ours yesterday.. our current one expires in August.. I don't think we could afford to live without it TBH!!

    Bizarre thing is.. i get it for DS2 and his dyslexia/dyspraxia but not for DD4 with cerebral palsy!!
