    SS and Boo, do you think it might be a comfort type thing? I have no idea, but if they're feeling a bit rotten they might want mummy time a bit more.

    Probably Bexta, when she isn't feeding she's demanding to be picked up/put down.

    I'm sure it is. I know with preemies they say sucking is like a pain relief for them (they asked could Wee James have a dummy because it may help when he ws having injections/lines put in etc) so maybe it still applies when their older?

    Wee James is now over 6lb! He's still in SCBU and has had quite a few ups and downs recently, the little mite hasn't moved up any bed space yet. He's still the furthest bed into room 4, once he starts moving towards the door then into room 3 we know he's doing lots better :A

    I like Eowyn. But there are enough girl names OH and I both like so I've refrained from suggesting unusual ones. (And apparently in Welsh -wyn would make it a boy name.)

    Morning

    It is my wedding anniversary today - 8yrs!!!

    I don't think we are doing anything special, will most likely cook a 'nice' dinner once the kids are in bed and buy something yummy for afters:)

    Clever Ayana sleeping all night again:) It makes a real difference when they sleep right through doesn't it...

    3 - L is in year 5 now too...and with J just going over to the juniors too, it is really strange walking straight past the infant dept!

    I've no idea how long ago BIL was snipped, I try not to think about his manly parts *cringe* ;) His younger son from his liaison with a stripper (I know) is 8 or 9 though.

    She was asking about IVF as well, is that an option in their case and what's the procedure? Sorry to be asking random questions, she and I had a FB chat yesterday and I love to find things out.
    This lady had IVF because of vasectomy (and PCOS) and is American. She has three children and she's written quite a bit about IVF.
