    Does everyone else feel this jealousy? I don't feel guilty, just very jealous! Could send C to nursery/childminder but the outcome is still the same :o. Please tell me I am normal....

    Yes, yes, yes...but then you get days where baby cries because you are leaving and lights up when you come back and you know that no matter how much fun they have when you are not around you are still their only mummy and mummy is numero uno ;)

    And to be perfectly honest you cherish the time that you do spend with them (I get to spend say 2.5 hours a day with Benjamin) and enjoy every second rather than worry about other stuff or be busy with other stuff - we play, chat and cuddle for our 2.5 hours a day now. Quality time :D

    Thanks Krystal

    I have the cot up against the bed now but I woke at 3.30 this morning and C had worked her way onto our bed and had her head down at my feet, her feet at my knees and another 6 inches and she'd have been off the end. I had to move her and it woke her up! Perhaps the pillows on the floor trick may be employed tonight. lol
    Will have to bite the bullet soon and get her back into her cot. Her sleeping is getting a bit better and I would hope that another month or so and she will be going to sleep without a boob in her mouth (she turns aways now, wriggles and then drops off) and sleeping for longer I think for the past three nights she has not woken between midnight and 5.

    Not sure if the Ibuprofen for her teeth is affecting this though? It's stopping her waking up screaming at least!

    xxx

    ETA MFD, when I leave her at the mo, when I come home/pick her up she doesn't seem to give a damn that I'm back! lmao. I'm sure that will change though as she gets bigger (crosses fingers)

    Off to bed now, OH up at 5. Night all, will catch up tomorrow. I don't post often but thanks for being here when I need a different POV xxx
    My baby girl :kisses3: September 09 :heartsmil

    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    MFD - could it be a loose filling or something?

    Jam - I am back to work in about 7 weeks (and still haven't done much about a childminder yet)! I am dreading it. I hope it will be fine once I am back, but I love being with Holly every minute of the day, and I will be jealous of CM, MIL and DH when they have her on days I am working. However, I am not so insanely jealous that I would consider giving up work as I can't afford to.

    I am loving being on my own tonight! DH is out. Usually after the football, he commandeers the television to play PS3. I can't remember the last time I watched anything! It must be weeks. I am watching some Kerry Katona thing on C4. Not intellectual viewing but something different!

    Thanks hun, but I can't find time to pop to Boots (5 mins max walk away) ATM so much as I would love to come pick it up....

    TBH I may be avoiding the issue a little - it might not be the best thing in the world ATM not having a secure job and all...
