    Do you not normally give him a bottle as the last thing you do before putting him down?

    It depends on when he goes to bed, he normally goes to bed at 7pm, and he's usually had bottle and dinner 6-6.30pm, so then he gets a dream feed when I go to bed at 9 or half 9, but last night his routine went tits up lol

    Awww Beenie thats such a cute pic

    Also lush pics Caz

    3 - I agree, I feel guilty all the time when people ask me how long it took to concieve E, as it only took a week, I even know the exact day cos we *ahem* only did it once that month lol

    BUT at the same time, I had major problems with periods from age 16 and they thought I might not be able to have kids, so I was obv very happy

    Well we had a good night ish, he finally went to sleep at 9pm, then woke at 12.45am for a feed, he woke again at 3.45am and I KNEW he couldnt have been hungry, so I gave him his dummy back and put his projection show on, then next thing I know its 5.30am :)

    SS, why working since 6? Did you just realise you have a deadline too close and have to buckle down?

    Don' tell Alice there are videos of such things - at least with rides on actual steam trains they are limited to when we visit the right place at the right time. (And she still talks about them constantly.)

    Wello hello Susan :D

    Would you like some dry toast? And is there something you'd like to tell us?

    Bruno, no deadline, just a lot of work to do and I find it hard to get stuff done while at home with the beastie during the day. I've done almost three hours' work while she's been asleep, so today I can work through naptimes and a little while she's amusing herself and still be productive without feeling guilty about not being an absorbed enough mummy/dedicated enough employee.

    Morning all :D Very Grey and rainy here :(

    3 - huggles for your friend, if she's like some of the girls I met on Fertility Friends then she is probably feeling very lost and confused atm and her OH probably doesnt know what to do for the best either. Although it did take us the best part of 7 years for T to come along our ICSI worked first time so we count ourselves very lucky. We are going to start trying again for no2 when T hits 6 months but will have to be natural this time so fingers crossed.

    Im not jelous of people who fall pg easily (maybe a lil envious) but I do get angry at bad parenting :mad:

    CAFC - wow odd that T was born on your birthday and weighed in the same too.

    Beenie - really cute pic.

    Am another one who goes bare foot as much as possible though its just not possible at work due to H&S I have been known to stand behind the counter serving sans shoes and the girls think its funny. Oh and I like driving barefoot too, but shoes do have their place.

    caz - LOL at C glad you all had fun tho x

    Well T decided to try wriggling off the bed feet first this morning, and she slid down between the bed and wall so all I could see was her head, she thought it was great fun and was giggling away! strange girl!

    Have a stinky wet dog here thanks to the stupid rain, was perfect weather here yesterday too. Hope its nice again tomorrow supposed to be going on a boat trip with the surestart centre.

    We are watching new fangled Thomas the Tang Engine (I couldn't face telletubbies!) what have they done o it?!
    I deliberately buy the old videos of these things to avoid disappointment. We had a modern Postman Pat book from the library one time and they've made it all modern and politically correct.
