((hugs)) Keelykat poor baba. I'm dreading Scott getting bad with teething, he has the odd occasion but not full on yet as we only used bonjela twice. I am sure I've heard anbesol good if you can get it. X

Also Keelykat the carvol plug in is good for clearing cold congestion

Gosh, I feel it a day of breakthroughs! Not only did we have long (by his standards) naps, but feeds have been, according to my app, an average of over 2 hours apart!!! Usually by this point the app says average of about 1hr 20 (avg gets knocked down by cluster feeding). We have in fact gone over 3 hrs at points today (including now, 2hr 55 since last feed and no hunger cues yet!) - gosh what I wouldn't give to be able to go back in time 4 weeks and tell myself this day would come - I could have done with the glimmer of hope back then!!

Im not being too optimistic for anything long term but for now, just having one day like this is wonderful!!! Also lots of smiles today, including when I have gone out of the room and gone back in, he's smiled when he's seen me which just makes me want to burst with happiness god I'm feeling soppy

Woohoo! New names have joined, welcome ladies!

All went well for 1st day back. Had a few tears this morning, but was sooooo busy at work, so just got on with it. Charlie gave us a huge smile when we got there, had some cuddle time before bedtime routine (which now starts at 7, not 6), poor thing fell asleep during his bottle.
Missed him loads of course though.

Hope you all well! As mentioned, I'm super busy during the Olympics, so won't have time to pop on as much. But when I can, will create a little weight loss list, starting tonight.

So I want to lose 10kg, but know it'll be slow going lol. So not going to divulge my weight haha, but will put down 0kg, and will put +kg or -kg each Monday night, hopefully getting to -10kg one day soon!

Hugs to you all xx

I remember reading somewhere that the early weeks are so bad it's no wonder they learn to smile first or we'd kill 'em! (JOKING!) Certainly my little miss has figured out that a big dribbly grin gets around us spectacularly well.

Went to baby clinic earlier - were a couple of newborns there - gawd they look small, even though they're like 7lb giants in comparison to what she was like! One was crying for a feed and Erin kept looking over at the source of the noise - and deciding she needed to join in - with the most half-hearted "waaaaah... ok back to grinning" ever - we were cracking up laughing at her. 11lb 7 though - tracking the 9th centile on her actual age (quite chuffed she's actually ON the weight charts) and just above 50th when they adjust it back for her prematurity.

Off on hols tomorrow - up to my folks, then the in-laws (give me strength!), then a wedding, then back to my folks!

Think someone asked about Olympic clothing here is link for the romper set Scott has this is 0-3 month link http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B006H23LB0/ref=redir_mdp_mobile

Jannine - We bought a cossato kalaedescope which was a babies r us exclusive but it's now discontinued. It is great it looks like the noodle one just a different covering. It reclines, goes up & down, hang the tray on back and when folded it will self stand. This is what we had Here's one on eBay obviously not mine rotfl

Rebekah - hope you are surviving the newborn fog it will lift x
Re the sleeping I used to go to bed early say 7-8pm hubby would look after Scott until 11 ish then bring him upstairs. I was then responsible If he woke after midnight, it meant at least I got a few hours kip before the night really kicked off. If I was tired but not sleeping would lay on the bed in spare room and lay him on pillow next to me to feed so even if I'm not sleeping the lying down still helped me rest a bit. This was of course when I could lie comfortably. X

Dizzi excellent on Erin's weight and for the inlaws...just breathe lol

Ro calling it "newborn fog" is great, never heard that before, but it's exactly what it's like!! The sunshine does eventually break through, but at the time its impossible to believe it
