If he wants something that wakes him every five hours and stops the noise as soon as acknowledged he should have impregnated you with a Tamagotchi.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Thanks, that amused me

CAFC - sorry your DH is being awkward - I don't really have any advice to add though.

Poppie is home, just a virus but she's absolutely fine, better to be safe than sorry.

Glad to hear it

Thank you......all I could find was stuff on bmi.....but it must be there somewhere.

There probably won't be specific WHO guidelines as such for weight maintenance because it's dependent on so many factors (metabolic rate, age, weight, activity level). The average of this for the population is 2000 kcal for women and 2500 kcal for men. If you want to work it out for yourself, it involves maths that gets my head in a muddle! I remember doing something on it in physiology classes at uni and after a quick Google, this link has a calculation that looks about right from what I remember.

Gym - congrats on your wedding


I really need to keep my mouth shut! After D's great sleep day yesterday, he's barely napped today and had a fairly restless sleep last night - typical!! However, he's finally crashed out now - hopefully just until 1am and I'll give him a quick feed - I'm not brave enough yet to really dream feed him (though we have done a couple of times). I keep worrying he'll be sick after in his sleep and end up staying up just as long as I would if I let him wake for a feed.

On another note, I can't believe he's 4 weeks old already. I always thought people were sugar coating it when they said you forget the bad bits of labour quickly, but it's kind of true! I remember them clearly, but they don't seem nearly as awful as they did at the time (though it helps that my stitches have finally started to dissolve and fall out so I'm a bit more comfortable!)

I remember thinking 'never again' the day after but now I want to do it again! (not just yet though!)

Ahhh, my run of good nights has come to an end *sigh*

David has started to let go of both hands when he is standing by the settee and has also started cruising the furniture too :eek:

Urrgh! I really don't like 5am wake-up calls....
Haven't been on for a while because I've been desperately tidying as the valuer is coming on Monday to value the house so that we can sell it.
I've had a really lovely week, Dan was off work until Wednesday - on Tuesday we went to the Bristol Hippodrome to watch Les Mis - it was fantastic. We really made a night of it; went to Las Iguanas for mexican meal and they were doing 2 for 1 on cocktails - I couldn't remember the last time I had a cocktail.

In other news, I've been a bad, bad mummy . Last night A walked in while Dan and I were having 'a cuddle' (we didn't hear her - it was pretty late and we thought she was fast asleep):eek:. She wanted to know why Daddy was 'bouncing Mummy':o. Eeeek, I feel so awful. I really couldn't think what to say, so in the end I just said that we were having 'a special mummy and daddy cuddle'!
