    Welcome back, mdw! Was wondering the other day where'd u gotten to :)

    Thanks for the booby replies. He's feeding now and hopefully it'll go away on its own. Just thought it was really weird for an almost six month old, but i guess it can happen at any stage.

    Boo, i had an ebay package do that to me last week. I may have told the buyer it was royal mail's fault and not someone writing the wrong postcode. :whistle:

    Fbb, worth a shot. I thought the same about finn, but he surprised me by going to sleep at a friend's house (on the bed) once.

    Morning!

    Hope everyone is ok this morning?

    Boo, so sorry, but I finally managed to get to the post office yesterday, so hopefully be with you shortly :)

    Congratulations Krystal :j :j (also a teeensy bit jealous!)

    Welcome back Beenie & woohoo for the Joolz, hope you love it! :mad: for the neighbours. Can't offer any words of advice, other than that if I were you I'd be posting dog poop through their letter box :p & I hope you managed some sleep in the end :cool:

    Fab news on wee James :j:j

    SJ that next pic along of Alfie & Guy tickled me, all the attempts to get them to look up and they both look down! My son is officially massive compared to diddy Alfie :o :j for the Pandora

    Hi Jolene, lovely to hear that little Sophie is doing well & you're all recovered - know the feeling of hospital cabin fever, 6 days was enough for me! Have you any mums & babies type groups nearby you could try?

    We've had a hideous night, Guy decided to wake up every 2 hours :eek: Think he's constipated, not been in a couple of days and seems really frustrated, any tips? Really hoping I can drop him with my parents for a couple of hours today so I can nap!

    eta: Anyone got any good fathers day present ideas? I'm stuck - we're trying not to buy 'stuff' i.e. mugs etc, as we don't want to move house with any more than we already have. I can't think of anything 'dad' related to get him :/

    Beenie, if only your prediction had been true! And now we have another boobie problem in that since i'm trying to relieve the sore left one, which still hurts, now the right is mega full :p.

    Even better is ILs are coming over for a visit, the house is a tip and DH won't be home to buffer me against MIL. Would it be really horrible to pretend to be ill so they won't come? :p:p:p

    Aless, you are ill, you have sore boobs :P There's not a red patch on either of them is there (to suggest mastitis)?

    Something edible? Thorntons have Dad stuff in.

    Is he watching the football? You could make him a match kit with beer, nuts, sweets etc., in.

    Busy day today as I've got a load of uni work to do get through.

    Sun is shining again though - yay :j That's probably because I bought a lightweight waterproof jacket on Sunday for bootcamp :D
    Here I go again on my own....

    Morning all

    Gym, Guy isn't chubby-big though, just long and in proportion. He's going t be tall like you and Alfie will be a short !!!!! like me!

    Not sure about father's day present, I'm still undecided what to get DH

    I'm happy with the sun this morning too, much better.

    So DH gets in from work at 4am and I wake up as he gets in to bed, 10 minutes later Alfie wakes up so I go feed him and 30ish mins later get back into bed. DH is amazingly still awake so I get in and give him a cuddle, and he says "I've been thinking about you for 40 minutes" I'm sory but it's just not happenning at almost 5am, I feel like a zombie and I need to get back to sleep!!!!!

    Holly got daddy Super Mario Galaxy 2, but she couldn't wait until the weekend and gave it to him last night! She is also getting him some socks as he needs some and I figure it's an indication of presents in years to come! And she has a book for him to read to her called "What Colour Are Your Knickers?" as we thought that would appeal to him! We bought a "Daddy" book for his birthday.

    Aless - is it possible that you could be honest with your in laws and offer them the chance to take Finn out for a few hours on their own? Gives them time to spend bonding with their grandson and gives you a few hours to nap or just relax. My MIL and my parents are delighted when I visit and make excuses to go and do stuff for an hour or so. I only do it for them, not because I actually have stuff I need to do on my own.

    Holly has gone from crawling position to sitting up 3 times since last night and we haven't seen her do it at all. DH thought I had sat her up and I thought he had!

    Possibly, though I'm not entirely sure what that feels like. It's just really full. Oh well, going to bed shortly and hopefully when I feed in the night it will relieve the pressure. :o (thanks for replying, Susan)
    Things which I think are supposed to help are massaging it while feeding/expressing, feeding in a different position and warm bath/flannels. I found a different position worked one time and massaging while expressing worked the second.
