Agreed Hazle, I found the newborn stage quite boring compared to now apart from the hours and hours of glorious sleeping she did. I think this is a lovely age now and she just does the cutest things, which adds fuel to Quod's Sister's 6-9m broodiness theory.
I still don't fancy another one just yet though! We need to move house first for a start or we'll be crammed in here like sardines. AF is due on Monday so FX, and I have an appointment about getting another coil fitted next week which hopefully won't be after the horse has already bolted.
Quod I think you are very brave letting your OH anywhere near your bits with a beard trimmer! I would rather be unkempt than trust DH to do it - you want to see the mess he makes of pruning the plants. And he would probably try to topiary it into a comical shape in revenge for the time I wrote tosser on his back in sun tan lotion.
Alex can't you just tidy it up until you can get appointment where your DH can look after S? Getting a bikini wax is bad enough without a screaming baby in the room! Like Brave said, unless you have dreads down to your knees nobody at swimming will notice or care.
Today I have come up against my first weaning opposition. I did cheesy ham pasta and blended it with the hand blender on the lowest setting so it was still lumpy but not very big lumps IYKWIM, and she point blank refused it. She has eaten absolutely everything so far so it's either the lumpy texture she doesn't like or maybe has sore gums? She ate porridge this morning so probably texture but how do I go about getting her to eat soft but lumpy food?
