Tyelperion and DH, what brilliant news! What an amazing and moving story, and I must admit feeling very unworthy indeed a the end of it, when you said our support had been so important, when it's been very clear what a supportive partnership you have, full of kindness and courage to stand up for one another. Your beautiful baby son is very lucky to have both of you, too!
Well done, Hohohomouse, and congrats on your baby. 
mopsytop, those long-standing pains are all doing something. And, if it makes you feel better, mine are continuing with the feeding... and my lochia is now so light that I think it may end soon! Amazing, considering I bled for a good six weeks last time, if not longer - bleugh! Don't go overboard with any intensifiers (raspberry leaf tea, etc.), though, just in case!
festivefiggy : 
at your mother's wallet! Glad you're in a state to be humorous about it.
Poor LittleMissHumbuggery, how are you feeling? Did you get any sleep? You leave those pompoms for your energetic and kindly acolytes and get some rest!
Sorelip - your busy baby has got to slow down at some point... Maybe s/he will "get engaged and settle down"?!
Hawthers, get "decking"!
AnAirofHope, hope you can get out soon and meet some people who aren't as negative as your HV, since the more people you have positive interactions with (like us, of course!), the less weight her negativity will have! BTW, I understand HV teams are starting to become more team-like, with less chance of having one individual dedicated to you, at least that's the case where we are. I must admit to being very relieved about that, when I first met our HV recently and she got all over-excited about DS's vivid dreams (not sure why the hell I even bloody mentioned he'd had a nightmare that night!). Argh.
msbaubles, here's hoping you manage to feed the jaundice out!
Having a reasonably good day here, with milk having come in and feeding becoming less painful. I have also seen Helena's eyes, and they are clear blue, unlike DS's muddy irises (light never went into them to show a colour, until they changed to the lovely clear brown peepers he has now!). I have a blue-eyed gene from my father (blue eyes) and one from my mother (my brother has blue eyes), so that could combine with DH's green ones to produce something light. It's so early to be speculating, but it is exciting!
My DM is getting a bit annoying, though, moving stuff around as she tidies (as she always does). Given the disorder in which we live (oh, yes, DH now finall has a company bank account again, so we have got some money again - hurray!), we can't afford to have anyone do any tidying, especially if that person puts stuff in the office aka one of our quantum singularities
