Well I have had a tiny taste today of life with older children, I met a friend for a picnic with her 7 and 3 year olds, and 7 week old baby. It was great! But the older two decided to have a dip in the ice cold paddling pool despite their mum not bringing any swimming things or towels :eek: They were such lovely kids though, I must confess to doing a little brooding. Walking along holding her son's hand I just thought, yeah, I could do this sort of age gap :eek: And her teeny tiny baby who was as good as gold just made it all worse, my ovaries ache :eek:0

I'm the one dying in our house. Doesn't help it's OH's birthday, so we had a party yesterday (I kept staring at people and chanting 'gohomegohomegohome' in my head :rolleyes:) and both families coming over today. Help me! I'm awake, as the fever was keeping me uncomfortable and of course baby, who's had this a day longer keeps stirring. I gave him medised last night and licked the spoon - eughhhh! Disgusting stuff, poor baby. Getting worried now, as his apetite is erratic, and he hasn't had a proper bottle of milk for a week! Just refuses it. If one more person says 'he's probably teething'...grrrr.
I'm hungry...
Fac, put those ovaries away. Worry about it later. Maybe I should send my 3yo nephew over for the day... Now there's an experience lol:wall:0 -

Welcome Hell
Nice to have another breastfeeding veteran on board 
Hope you feel better soon, Agutka, and Baybee's little one. We are not a particularly healthy household at the moment either, as both me and Alex came down with a tummy bug yesterday. Thankfully DH and DS1 seem okay. This is most unusual as I never get tummy bugs. :mad: And the amount of washing I've had to do in the last couple of days... ugh! :eek:
Enjoy what's left of the weekend, everyone
(I have reports to type up, so that'll be fun :rolleyes:.) 0
