    Susan - i remembered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ETA - helps if I write it!

    How do you manage to get Alice into her car seat when it is rear facing?
    I planned to keep J rear facing for as long as possible BUT I am really struggling to fit him through the gap between the roof of the car and the top of the car seat. I keep catching his head when I put him in. I guess it could just be that my car is narrow but I don't think I'll manage it for much longer.
    Hopefully this picture will help:

    She gets into it herself because she can stand in front of it (on the bit which an adult would sit on if her car seat wasn't there).

    Does that make sense?

    you should be fine. i had to tie ours in with when family can come over from ireland and as one of the godfathers works in a bank, it made more sense to have the christening when its a bank holiday. in rep ireland the aug bank holiday is the first weekend


    Aaahhh right. I think if I had to arrange it because of family travelling then I would leave it till next year so I could give them plenty of notice but they are all pretty local, except my older brother, but I doubt he will make it up anyway!!

    Right I will keep my fingers crossed and just get planning (and pricing) food, drinks, and clothes:D

    Beccles - From my mooching around websites about this sort of thing, Durham PCT are actually quite good about funding for this sort of thing. If you show it has a detrimental effect on your mental well being, and it's not just about asthetics (but to be fair, its about that to some degree, no-one wants to stuff their belly in their pants!)

    First step is getting your GP to agree etc. First GP I saw was a t1t, so I found a nice one!

    Thanks - will look into it maybe. Still haven't decided if we want a baby 4 or not, so it would be pointless starting the process if I'm going to get pregnant again!

    Christening sounds lovely Mel.

    Charlotte went out to play football after tea and when I called her in, she was filthy. I thought it would be different having a girl, but maybe not :D
    Here I go again on my own....

    If you have C sections, I'm pretty sure if you get sterilised at the same time, they will give you a mini tummy tuck too, my friend is about to enquire about it - apparently a C section "hang" is very common!

    Was x-rayed earlier, the doc here at the small hospital said she couldn't see anything obvious (which I'm taking as extremely positive), but the consultant in Exeter needs to see it in the morning. So fingers crossed or I can't see us going away next week.


    How was the rest of your week away MDW?
