    feel really mad at oh as i sort out everything then he gets to be superdad and have all the fun and doesn't seem to care that i'm disappointed or upset.

    Jealous of sugars cleaning as i can't be motivated today I wouldn't dare let oh go to supermarket alone - he would return with loads of junk we don't eat and !!!!!! all for dinners.

    Cleaning the kitchen and bathroom has been on my list not getting done for a week and a bit now ;)

    Husband does most/almost all the cooking here, so it makes sense for him to do the shopping. He does it backwards from the way I would, though - I like to meal plan and shop for what I need, but he buys what's seasonal and good value and makes meals around that.

    I'm sorry you didn't get to go. I'm sure it'll all work out (pun intended ;)) soon.

  • Thanks for the reply I tried water and orange juice can't get to the shops for prune juice. Its good to know some bf babies only go once a week its just she was going 5 times a day until monday then one formula bottle (while i was at a funeral) and shes never been since. However she is really happy so its definately bothering me more than her I just didn't want to leave her all day as she would have had to had formula as i'm carp at expressing plus had visions of mil phoning when i was 2 hours away to say she was poorly. Nevermind i've got true blood to watch on sky plus t've read the books but never watched the series.

    Cafc good luck with healthy eating I've got no "good"food in today as i thought we were all out this weekend so its the homemade cheesecake for lunch with kitkat for dessert not my normal eating habits but i feel the need today:D

    Congratulations Krystal on the healthy, cheeky non-puppy-or-SIL in your tummy! (On a related note doesn't your SIL have a lot of siblings?!)
    I'm pretty sure it's some chavvy school thing and she's not actually related to them all lol.. Sorry to hear abotu Michael McIntyre... We went to see him last year and it was fantastic... Hope you get offered something else just as good at a time / place to suit you :)

    On a poopy note... Aimee was a once a week girl, and went 10 days once... But it never bothered her... She also had 1 bottle of formula a night for a few months and that never really had an effect... Never made her sleep either though sadly lol...

    I've just had a brilliant driving lesson... Turned in the road, reversed around a corner, parrallel parked all fine :D My instructor said she wants me taking my test within the next 2 months :eek: I'm annoyed I'm down to 1 lesson a week on a Saturday morning though since all the "friends" that volunteered to watch Caitlyn for me while I had lessons have all suddenly become busy doing other things or not sure if they're free... Fair enough if you don't want to do it, but don't bloody offer if you don't intend to either! Even my cousin has done the same...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

  • Aw Krystal that's crap. I would happily take her for an hour for you but can only do weekends so wouldn't be much use.

    Bless my lovely hubby, he just brought me a coffee in the bath.

    Off to Google where the nearest soft toy play area is...determined to get out of the house today!

    Don't go to Go Kids Go in Bilston... It's mingin!!!!

    Dizzy kids in Willenhall is OK... Not sure of any others over your way though...

    My driving instructor is quite flexible and willing to do lessons at 6pm which would work for me 1 week out of 3 with D's shifts... But I've felt too sick after tea to even contemplate it up till now... I might see if I can rope my Mum in... I'm sure she's home by 5:30 most days... I'm just very conscious of needing to get a car before I have this baby... Or at least get too pregnant to walk to the Drs lol...

    Cafc good luck with healthy eating I've got no "good"food in today as i thought we were all out this weekend so its the homemade cheesecake for lunch with kitkat for dessert not my normal eating habits but i feel the need today:D

    Now that is the kind diet plan I was hoping for LOL

    Got cack all good food in either..... I need convenience stuff for the days where I'm on my own, in theory when DH is home, I can be in the kitchen and he can watch Landen.....

    And food that still tastes ok when luke warm/cold, because no matter what time I try to eat dinner, landen will wake up :rotfl:

    If it's not bothering her, then just try and relax and it will come when it comes! Finn was doing several a day for the first couple weeks of his life and then with no warning it went to every 7-10 days between poops!! Kinda scared us at first, but then I actually got to enjoy it as it meant far less mess :rotfl:. He carried on pooping once a week until we started solids at 6 mos, so it was brill :D.

    When it first happened, we tried OJ and boiled water - nothing worked. I think some babies just go that way :).

    CAFC, the most helpfull thing DH did for me when Caitlyn was first born was to make me a packed lunch at the same time as he made his own so no matter how caught up in the baby I was, there was a sandwich waiting for me... :)

    Thanks for all the poop reassurance - i'm dreading changing her when it finally does arrive.

    Cheesecake tastes very nice when cold - it does have fruit in it so its 1 of my 5 a day honest
    Krystal's idea is probably better 4 u thou and sandwichs can be eaten one handed

    Krystal! I am wearing the trousers I wore the day I first met you! Woo hoo!

    They are a little muffin-too-ey but not too bad! Will definitely be able to take them on holiday! Yay!


    Edit - not wearing them yet...I might be happy to fit in them but not happy enough to sport a muffin-top!
