Trope 
I'm so sorry you're going through this. As you said, at least it's been caught early and you can try the gentler methods initially. Will be thinking of you all day.
Christ, that means it's me next.... That's not on. Saying that, the mucus plug went on Saturday. Well, some of it at least. How much is there meant to be anyway?
Lovely that your dsis had her little boy. It will be so lovely having them so close in age, they have the best chance to be really close friends.
Bun your day yesterday sounds lovely. Well done Lilly and ds! We started nighttimes a week ago on ds' request and it's a great feeling when they manage it, especially that proud look on their little face. I was woken up at 5 every morning for the first few days so he could wee, but he seems to have cracked it now and goes all night. I find his sleeping is improved, no waking and coming in with us as used to happen every night. He's happier and more energetic and focussed as a result. As for your dp taking them both, how very lovely of him! 
Good book? I've got the mn rules and the second baby survival guide on the go. May just steal dh's kindle though and read the hunger games instead! 
the hot bath sounds like the height of luxury too. Bubbles? 
Ellie I do believe pet therapy works very well, my big boy is qualified as a PAT dog (proud mummy). Little dog is better comfort, but she isn't keen on strange people (previous owners abused her) so I can't let her try . I was toying with a pet for ds when he got to 3. He would love one and is very good with animals and treating them gently, but he's a very energetic, boisterous child and I don't want to risk him accidentally hurting the thing. Besides, I don't want another animal right now 
! Well, I do but am not allowed .
Another kind oh. I'll admit to a dumb moment when I read and was trying to work out why you had tiles stacked 3 high on the floor around your bath 
. I'm a tit, I know . Still, sounds lovely now I know what you actually meant.
Kayzr my mw doesn't like measuring, only does it to placate doctors / tick all the boxes. Her words though, "I'm good at my job, I can tell if it's going to be a big baby." you could have a lake in there, or a mile of cord... The bump size doesn't have to be all baby iyswim?
Davina, Lauren Rebecca is a beautiful name! Sorry the baby blues have set in and feeding is painful. But you can overcome this, nipple shields are a fab invention. I couldn't get on with them with ds, wish I did though sometimes! Must warn you, am getting very impatient for photos now. Please have time to put some up soon!
Trouble your dh has guilted mine into carrying on with decorating. (Thank you!!!!!). It sounds like you are really getting stuck in. Very well earned curry. We would be total finished by now if I was allowed to help or dh actually did the decorating! Still, he will be continuing this evening. Nursery is going to be painted! Oh, for those of you about the glider, please don't think I have the space! Quite the opposite, but it was dh's only wish, so I had to humour him! Tis a very pretty collection though.
Mamma, thanks for sharing your story. Those feelings, whilst so common, can leave you feeling very isolated. As such, there's always some comfort when you are reminded you aren't alone. Doesn't stop me being so very, very sorry you suffered though. Fwiw, you have not failed at anything. The orchid was going from strength to strength under your care. I do understand the wanting to please, finding acceptance thing though. My situation was borne from over bearing parents. I wasn't allowed to grow up or make many of my own choices (my mother chose my gcse options). Add that to a little bullying for being bit bigger than the other girls and you have ideal conditions for an eating disorder.
I've been feeling like something of a twat for posting on Friday night, don't like sharing as am rather ashamed of it all, but I needed somewhere to vent or I could see where I was heading. Thank you all again for your amazingly kind words, you've had me in tears. Dh was much more supportive on Saturday, I don't think he quite realised how badly I'd been affected on Friday (delicate soul, me!) and, in the rush to get ready and go out, he just didn't think. He's also been under a lot of stress at work the last few days. Potentially about to lose our biggest client. He doesn't go out often and really needed to let his hair down so I probably down played it a bit too.
I have given up cheese and chocolate to quiet that awful feeling, but am much more positive about things again. It's hard not to be, just one look at ds and I don't want to be ill. I can't be. He deserves a healthy mum and a good role model. I intend to be both. Actually, ds has a date today. He's going on a picnic with his best friend. He is so excited! Am planning lots of yummy treats for them (and her mum and I). The only problem is he is adamant he's taking the big dog because "Cromwell is my best friend tooooooooooo mummy". His little friend is terrified of dogs 
.
Ok, think that's enough. I'm painfully tired as this whole little saga has stopped me sleeping properly. 
Hoping the pure exhaustion I'm feeling now coupled with an afternoon of picnic, park and feeding the scary huge fish (most children want to feed the ducks, not my ds ) will put me to sleep as soon as he's in bed. Certainly looking hopeful right now! Really going now, need to find a picnic blanket. There are 3 in this house. I only want 1!
Have a good day all! Trope I will be checking in all day in the hopes you are able to update Bun or the thread yourself. Wishing you the very best of luck and hope it's an easy and quick day with wonderful Fuzzy cuddles at the end of it.
