Hello girls,
Thanks for clarifying that, Bisou. Thought I'd missed something big!
Glad to see you back Rosmerta. And GOOD LUCK to our Veggie and Getter Bigger Bird! Hope to hear news soon!
Had a text from Chutney yesterday, I've been wondering where she was. Thankfully all is well and it's just that her internet is down. She sends her love to everyone and I tried to fill her in on all the babies that have been born this week! It sounds like she is having a spot of bother with her littlest DD since the new arrival, so it must be the week for it.
I am concerned about Pixsix though. I hope all is well, it's been quite a while since she checked in though I am sure she has her hands full.
ANyway, Kayz - wow, what a whopper! Many many congratulations to you all. And just with gas and air at home! You deserve the VC.
Verso - my baby is quite as if someone has blown her up with a bicycle pump and it's hard to wind her as well. I tried Infacol but it seemed hit and miss. The bossy HV seemed to take a dim view - virtually said I had to ask her permission to use it and also said that it took at least a week to work and you had to use it every single feed. But quite frankly I take what she says with a trowel of salt. There's an Infacol website, but I am going to try the ones Turnip and Veggie said. You can't use Gripe Water until they are a month old - apparently.
JJ - glad you feel a bit better today. You are only flesh and blood, you know, and you've got a lot on your plate. What Indith says is probably true - cut yourself some slack. You must. I also second whoever said you should try gently talking to your DH about it all. And remember, everyone on here is on your side
ZJ - really hope all goes well on Monday. Sounds like this growth business is such an inexact science and it has to be a huge positive that other things, like the heartbeat, are ok. But I am sorry you have to worry at this stage, it must be grotty. Hope you are managing to enjoy the weekend.
Mibbes - glad the bf has picked up a bit! Good on you. And a big thumbs up to all those struggling with it and perservering. You are better men than me. I know it's hugely selfish but I just can't do the breastfeeding thing so I am full of admiration for those that do, especially when it hurts etc.
Arti - have fun at the party! I would love to go to a party tonight but I am going to one next Sat at the Ivy. I have a full length drapey black dress which would fit a barrage balloon. I might try to wedge my trotters into some high heels. Who knows. I will still look like Monserrat Caballe, though, high heels or no
Well, I am looking out at the rainy Oxfordshire countryside (small flat, yes, but lovely view from the sitting room, and huge windows) and feeling mildly self-pitying. It's rather pathetic, as I know some of you on here have genuine worries. DP had a text from his ex today and it has plunged me into a sulk. I'm not that insecure normally, but I feel a bit crap about myself at the mo. We took my late husband's father out for lunch yesterday and we went to a pub I last went to with my DH and it made me miss him. Well, I miss him a lot anyway and I am sure I always will. So I can hardly get irritable about DP's ex, it's hypocritical. And I have a fantastic baby and my health and a wonderful family and all that (I never take my health for granted after what happened to DH) but I feel like the only thing which would cheer me up would be a huge dose of romance. DP's out and he will bring some shopping back, which is fab of him and I am grateful, but what I really want him to bring back is something NICE so I feel thought of instead of feeling like he's thinking about his ex. I think I must be very very spoilt. And daft. Hopefully it's just hormones because this is just ridiculous. Wishing you all mighty fine weekends, I presume everyone apart from Bisou has this crummy weather.
