    I don't know sm? I think he would do it if I reminded him, but I can't, and I don't know why!

    he just asked me why i haven't gone upstairs for a lie down while K and T are both asleep...but I can't. He wouldn't hear either of them as he's got his headphones on anyway.

    Mel, you poor thing :( you are supposed to be feeling exhausted and tearful, you shouldn't feel a tiny hint of guilt, and OH should be dropping everything to help out without you asking. Hope you feel better soon.

    Elijah is getting very very prescriptive in his demands! We have now labelled him the Modesty Police:

    Last night OH and I were playing on the floor of the nursery with E. We were blowing "clown kisses" (raspberries) on his tummy while he cackled. I then got him to have a go at blowing one on my tummy, after which OH pulled up her top and encouraged him to do the same to her... he looked at her for a moment, then reached out and tugged the top down, very firmly stating "Jumper ON mama."
    Then this morning OH got up first thing and went to the bathroom nekkid... E saw her, grabbed her dressing gown and rushed after her, invaded the bathroom and piled it into her lap saying "Summer baffrub On On!"

    just phoned to see if i could pick up my kitty tonight so she has a few nights to settle before i leave and im sure she is going to talk me into taking the last one home, im a sucker for a sob story lol!

    LOL at E! funny how kids can be like that and as he is BF i find it even funnier as you wouldnt think he would have a problem with OH being nekkid! How are things Bruno?

    Right own up, who has spoken to my dh!!

    Minutes after I posted he got off the computer, pulled me up and onto the sofa next to him. He was asking if I was ok and giving lots of hugs and kisses, telling me i'm silly and should have just gone and lay down, he would have taken his headphones off if I had left the room and fed T if she needed it while I was asleep....

    After I had stopped crying, he took me upstairs and tried to make me feel better about myself;) Although lovely, it hasn't really worked, as I constantly try to keep myself covered etc incase I repulse him I think only surgery will help me here!! He is now feeding T while I am sat drinking tea lolx I have put dinner on though, so am only sat waiting for the spuds to cook.

    I have sent the three boys out into the garden to play while I sort dinner, they older two pulled such faces and moaned so much, I threatened a console ban.

    I am constantly in tears lately about everything and feel guilty about everything........I wonder if there is something wrong with me?

    Glad OH shaped up Mel :) sorry you still feel so troubled though :( is it not quite normal at this point? You would know better than me, being on number 4... ! If it's worse than usual, do talk to people(/OH) about it...

    Thanks Caz :) I'm ok, been working in front of the tennis finals, big week of work this week. But we agreed OH should go off to a museum she likes as she thought it might realistically be the last chance for a year or more... unfortunately after she'd been there less than 45 mins I got a text from her that she was complete exhausted and coming home :( I replied offering to come and pick her up but no reply... weh.

    Other than that I am getting annoyed with my inability to budget, I should really have an easy time of it and yet all the money keeps vanishing every month! I am ashamed. Trying to plan ahead for some childcare when OH gets into the last bits of pregnancy maybe, if not before. It should be really easy to manage, and it is really, but I am not good at compromising! :rolleyes:

    Mel - you've just had a baby! Your hormones are all over the place and its most likely just that with the tiredness etc. :)
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.
