BB, sorry about your ceiling crisis. Hope you can get it sorted ASAP. DH is exhausted and stressed (thanks for asking). He says that his other colleagues, who seemed impressed when he was dignifiedly working his arse off after being sacked, now seem to think he's a bit daft not to be overjoyed that Bastard Boss wants to keep him on, and can't see why he's looking elsewhere.
This week he's doing the three on duty nights he was scheduled to do around my birth date, so we won't see him much. He's much less involved with Alex than he was with DS1, which is inevitable given his new working hours, but very sad.
Interesting about the green poo, as Alex's is often green. Since he's sucking to get off to sleep at night, maybe he's not getting to the hind milk...? There are so many ways to feel guilty when you have a baby. Then again, he'd reached 250g over his birth weight after a week, so he's not undernourished, I suppose.
Springy, your baby sounds like DS1; could be reflux? A sling is definitely the way to go if he needs to be upright. Hang in there, and don't worry about your resentment; I contemplated throwing DS1 down the loo on one very very bad night after about 8 wks of hell. Such thoughts are normal (I hope!!).
