    Hmmm
    Got to office today, worked 2 hrs, email from OH saying she felt bad.. Commiserated and asked how bad, she said she was having trouble breathing :eek:
    So came home again, put her to bed and now at park with E in the rain... Need to be back in office in 90 mins for a meeting though! Hoping she feels a bit better by then.
    She seemed to think it was some kind of blood-sugary reaction to a bowl of granola : ponder:

    :eek: Is she ok? Any chest pain?

    Mazcabs, those books look great, I went to a party for three babies turning one and got them all £1 books from M&S which they loved :D (They were little picture books).

    3, you have to give them a reasonable amount of time to respond, personally I would think 2 weeks at which point you send them a letter giving them another week then if still no response another letter called 'letter before action' where you tell them you will take them to court but that is just based on taking my landlady to court. Have you also tried the consumer advertising standards or whatever it is - not sure what this should be... anyone?

    Kindof, no sleeping through here, on a good night Erin goes to sleep at 9pm, she wakes up and I feed her when we go to bed - usually around midnight then will sleep till around 8am but most nights she will wake up again for another feed before quickly going back to sleep however I don't always know because we are co-sleeping and I don't look at the clock :o

    You are 4 weeks pregnant
    Your due date is: 31 March 2011
    according to the NHS calculator http://www.nhs.uk/Planners/pregnancycareplanner/Pages/DueDateCalculator.aspx but that is assuming her cycle length is 28days

    Thanks, last day of March...

    I guess I am quite lucky in the fact E goes to bed for the night between 7pm and 7.30pm, so sleeping till 5 with 2 feeds is good I guess lol

    3, still thinking.

    Oh, and the FB page isn't a FB group, just a way to like a statement without committing to having a link to an actual page :)

    All my work stuff and tons of home stuff is done for the day. Just eating breakfast now (yes, it is 4pm) and waiting for Molly to wake and Husband to come home. It is still bucketing down outside, so glad we didn't go out as planned!
    I might be being stupid but I really don't think it is, if you hover over Like it usually says "click here to like this" on genuine FB things but that post directs you to a FB page and when you hover over the title it should link to a FB page it leads to another website :)
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    I'm just glad Erin isn't 'awake' when she wakes up during the night, she just wants a little feed/comfort and I just latch her on and go straight back to sleep so I'm lucky really but I'm not looking forward to going back to work and having to try and get her to go to bed earlier.

    MOTM, don't want to dampen the mood but the first GP visit usually isn't that exciting, just a lot of form filling in my case. The home tests are so accurate that they don't need to check again. The big thing is the 12 weeks scan, you have to post pics on here then! Are you changing jobs?

    Weird. I've removed it anyway, Sami - thank you :)

    MOTM, I had breakfast this late because I was insanely busy all day and didn't have time to eat. I did manage half a 1l bottle of diet Coke though *is embarrassed; can't find the embarrassed smiley code* Normally I prefer to have it at a normal time. But then I also prefer to have normal breakfast food, as opposed to leftover chicken and beans :)

    You won't get your "official" due date until your booking in appointment (with midwife) anyway, and that may change again at the 12 week (dating) scan if there's much difference.

    Are you quitting your job?

    Yeah I mean from him going to bed at 7.30pm till 5am or so?

    E is in size 3 Baby Dry nappies, but we have about 70 of them left and I want to get nappies in the asda event, I tried him on a 4+ (we got a box reduced cos the box was bashed) and it fit him, should I buy 4's or just go straight to 4+'s or should I try the active fit ones?

    ETA or should I just get him active fit when he is moving more?

    I think William started sleeping 8.30 - 6ish (or just before) without a feed in the night when he was about 6 months old. It definately helped with him weaning.

    Havent had him weighed since June but he is in Size 4's Baby dry at night and the Active fit in the daytime....I can always send you one to try before you buy if you like.... just PM me and fairies can post tonight.....
