Bluebell sorry I missed your post. I hope you get to spend some time with your neighbour and get to show her your LO again as she would probably love it. If she is too sedated for this then please forgive my complete lack of sensitivity

Jannine that dress is gorgeous and she will look totally adorable in it.

Sorry, another question! How long does the post birth bleeding last for? TMI ALERT!
It went brown, then almost stopped, now its back dark red and heavy. Could it be that I've been stressed with everythingover the past few days and spending a lot of time looking after Lo by myself?

Mozzy, my bleeding was like that and it went on like that for 8 weeks

Thanks WW! Good to know its normal! x

Well, yesterday was an 8 outfit day! And then a short sleep break, followed by being sicked on about half 5 this morning. Poor baby either has a cold or rampant hayfever, if the coughing coincides with a full tummy, I get soaked! Luckily he's got his checkup tomorrow so I can ask the doctor what they think. I would think cold, except it seems to come and go a bit?

Went out today looking for bigger sleepsuits, didn't find any I liked, but bought a couple of nice outfits instead. Don't know what he'll sleep in, but..!

Where did you go Aimless? Next have some lovely sleepsuits, or I like them anyway. Do you like traditional stuff, like baby blue/white etc or do you like modern bright, bold things?

For those of you struggling to go from arms > moses basket/crib/cot or can't get babe down at all, we rolled up some blankets and put them either side of Aaron in his crib, so he's wedged in tight, he seems to love it. Was a wee tip I got from someone. They still feel secure then and it stops him flailing about.

It was only a flying shopping trip, so just Sainsburys and the M&S outlet. I like both kinds, just to be contrary. The other half bought him a khaki sleepsuit on Ebay, and he has a lovely colourful one that he calls his deckchair outfit but I like some traditional ones too. The M&S ones were all really dull, and the Sainsburys ones all had one I liked out of 3 in each pack.

Ooops, just sneezed and made him cry, he was fast asleep!

We bought 2 Sesame Street babygros today, they're so cute and funny. Probably not everyones cuppa tea though..

See things like sneezing or coughing wakes my Aaron up, but the hoover (must say this is at the in-laws, when do I have time to hoover?!?) hairdryer, FIRE ALARM!! don't wake him! Babies...

Aimless

When I want him awake, nothing'll shift him, when I'm trying to sneak some dinner, he's got superhuman hearing. When we were out one day, a train let off steam with the loudest noise you can imagine, he raised an eyebrow and carried on sleeping!

Talking of which... he's asleep, why do I not just go to bed quick?!

Gillyx

We're the same here. We're not allowed to eat any more, wish I could say it's doing wonders for my weight, but I seem to find time to shove chocolate in

I'm the same, my OH won't be home from work until 11.30 so I'm staying awake until he arrives home. Aaron is in his crib sleeping though, so I really should take advantage. We both had a nice nap earlier though!
