    Som (Hugs). Did you suffer from a lot of headaches before T? It may be worth a trip to the Dr's if the optician doesn't find any cause.

    It's a long shot, but did you have an epidural? My ex SIL had terrible headaches for a very long time after she had her first LO. Dr's said it was some side effect of the epidural and they would go away eventually. (They did :D).

    cHad to dash of and change a vile nappy, anyone any tips for stopping LO putting her hand on her poo covered bits the second I remove the nappy? cant remember much else sorry. Off to drink some luke warm vanilla latte now.


    Our technique was always to give him something else to hold immediately before undoing the nappy... can't remember what age this started working from though!

    Bruno - I tried giving her a nappy but she dropped it when the dirty nappy came off, maybe something more fun next time.

    3 - haven't suffered with headaches/migraines for years but had awful ones while pg hence the test. I had a spinal block after T was delivered because I had to have the placenta removed manually removed, but the headaches have only been last 2 weeks and T is now 24 weeks.

    som - do you drink a lot of coffee?could it be dehydration? or perhaps a vitamin defeciency? Being tired/over tired never helps. I'd say tell your OH you're having x day to yourself so hes in charge of T, and just rest/sleep.

    L decided sleeping the whole way through was over rated, and so i got a 3am and 7am.and DH has peed me off too.....

    I'm married to someone I 'met on the internet' :) when she first came and stayed we put her up in a B&B for a couple of nights so that it wasn't quite as scary.

    Good friends of mine are married through meeting on the internet. They told their families they met at a coffee shop in an airport - technically true but they left out the bit that they arranged to meet there :rotfl:

    Very exciting news Tigs, I'll look forward to being able to download it a few days after you've all seen it :A

    Good luck today MOTM and Lucy. I hope everything is fine in there.

    SS - How many jars (and what size) of chutney did your recipe make? I need to know how many to save, am kicking myself cos I threw a few out last week.

    cHad to dash of and change a vile nappy, anyone any tips for stopping LO putting her hand on her poo covered bits the second I remove the nappy? cant remember much else sorry. Off to drink some luke warm vanilla latte now.

    Six 200gish jars, I think a couple might have been 250. You could easily increase the quantities though.

    I give Molly beads to play with before the nappy comes off, and our changing table has some self-adhesive mirror tiles so she is always distracted, vain child that she is. She does quite often end up delving in her poo-covered parts though, I just wipe it off and grumble to myself.

    Poor snotty T :(

    That's very sad, Em. My ex's mother had PPP (post-partum psychosis) - she thought he was the devil and kept trying to kill him :eek: I don't think she ever recovered... :cool: But it really affected their relationship, he was always a bit wary of her and she was suffocatingly desperate to overcompensate. I'm not sure which would be worse, the clinginess or the continued unpleasantness.

    Enjoy your holiday MFD.

    Poor sicky Lily, EA, hopefully it'll get better soon.

    Husband is very ill this morning. I was feeling rotten all weekend and have passed it on to him, but where I was feeling rotten and dragging myself about trying to get stuff done he seems to be much worse off and has only just managed to get up :( Cue another day of worrying about him. Plus my computer is acting up, so I backed up all my files last night just in case and I'm defragmenting in the hopes that it's all just a slow mess and nothing sinister.

    Only may? I can definitely see a solution - all they need to do is give you a refund.
