Fingers crossed for you and the little one zazou!
Thingy yup, sometimes people really just should count to 10 before speaking! I know of one family that has 4 girls, and every one of them knows they "ought to have been a boy" which just seems mean. I'm sure when your LO arrives, everyone will fall utterly in love with him!
missk I've got thrush too, and after reading up on it, have bought some canestan - apparently the advice is to definitely not take the oral pill, but only the pessary/cream combo and don't use the applicator, as you might be overcome and damage your cervix/uterus with a vigorous application. So trim your nails. As it turns out I'm just using the cream and it seems to be doing the job. (I was wearing my fatty fat winter coat and hid my "baby on board" badge behind a lapel, so was going incognito as a fat chick, rather than a pregnant chick, no problems buying it. I never ever bought booze or anything underage, so I'm experiencing the thrill of the forbidden about 20 years too late...)
Plus! although I am planning on BF, I am hoping to give Bean expressed breast milk, via DH, in a bottle from birth, so he has two feeders - me for boob, him for bottle. My doula reckons if we start straight away he won't be confused, and if we stick to boob for me, and bottle for him, it will just be part of Bean's understanding that the one with the beard has a different kind of nipple. I've read accounts of one partner going to sleep around 8pm, sleeping through the late-evening feed given by the other partner, and then getting up for the early morning feeds, so both partners get quality time with the LO and both get at least 5-6 hours uninterrupted sleep. In theory. So I am getting bottles and a ton of Milton as well as breast pads and the like.
And now I need to finish my spinach and cheese strudel test run for the WI next week. Oh how my rock'n'roll life is the envy of all my friends
