Puzzle was a great way to casually announce your arrival - just adding yourself to your usual lists. Can't wait for details! xx
"I see we're on to pig's willies again" at Schulte.
Nutty, bless your DD packing the baby's bag Fantastic
Bleu, I back what BB's said - you mustn't sacrifice your mental health for the sake of breastfeeding. It's just not worth it. I hope you can sort it out so you're happy with whatever, though xx
phd, just read your birth story - how quick everything was! Shame that it wasn't all as straightforward as it could've been - although I can't be too sympathetic as you're not appreciating the Cadbury's basket as you should be Your DS sounds adorable as well xx
MM, I love your birth story - sounds idyllic & you coped so well! You don't half make me laugh How wonderful that you feel so much better about birth now. I hope your cervix was sufficiently admired!
BB, I've sprayed him a few times - but I more often end up dribbling it down my tummy
& he's feeding for the whole time. Towards the end he gets sleepy & slower, but if I dare to remove him... He's just so greedy. We're getting mountains of full nappies as a result, too.
Nutty, fab idea with the sponges Even though my craving's gone, I'm still full of affection for my sponge
Puzzle, another funny birth story - "just cut me!" Your DD1 sounds like she's taking to the big sister role like a duck to water
frekkles, funny that you mention brie - my mum brought me a cheeseboard & I've never been happier. I ate a huge wedge of brie & a baguette in one sitting. Excessive, perhaps - but oh so good!
I'm so excited about getting your news - I swear, if you forget your phone & make me miss out on the excitement of being your buddy...
Sorry that things are still painful between you & your ex. It'll be good for him to get away & have a fresh start in Bristol whilst you have your fresh start with your DP & baby. At least you've parted on good terms xx
It seems so, so strange that I was in the throes of labour this time last week. It seems even stranger that my baby is still just under a week old - I can't imagine him not being here. I love him more every single day, even though I'm sleep deprived & covered in sick & milk & wee. He's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen & every little thing he does (apart from the screaming in the dead of night, perhaps) makes me fall a little bit further in love with him. For those of you still waiting it is so, so worth it. I know that that's all ridiculously soppy, but I don't care - I've spent enough time whinging on these threads, so I may as well say something positive
