FFS - take 2 at typing this - fat fingers went and hit a Quick Link and I lost my post!
MissMarjoribanks you are doing the right thing by trying to stay positive. Wee Thomas just needs a bit of time to try to get to grips with the mechanics of feeeding etc - I can imagine if I didn't know any different (being a newborn) and were being drip fed, I too would be confused with feeding/ suckling. I hope the NHS are being supportive and here's sending you lots of hugs and support!!
devotion WD on the driving test! Did your instructor get through much ironing when you were on test? It will be great when you can get your own set of smaller wheels coz we had that prob too. But it is good to get used to DH's car too so that in future you can easily switch between the 2. Don't worry re the bum size - do what I do and make up for the lack of walking by walking around the shops instead... you'll be surprised how far some car parks are from shops you need to go to!!
For all those hmm-ing and ha-ing about doing your driving test, please please do give it a go. No such thing as too late... don't listen to anyone else's opinion. You are doing it for you... and will be the best gift you can give yourself - take it from someone who took 8 attempts to pass.
WMDO Congrats on baby Olivia. I hope you are doing well too!! LOL re the hypnobirthing comment - I guess at least you tried whatever was available to you but at the end of the day, medical science has progressed thus far you may as well make it work for you!
mama2b5 Happy belated birthday hon. Hope you shake off that cold soon... I am still coping with mine but had to miss aquanatal class and coffee with the other mums-to-be this week coz of it. Did you make up your mind re your pushchair/ stroller yet? I finally got my carseat but have since shelved thinking about my stroller. Plenty of time yet (she says hopefully) and worst case scenario, I have my baby carriers ready.
saz Glad you had a lovely evening, esp with the worry re DH's job and all. I am glad he is feeling more positive... shame re the timing but it could well be the best thing for you as a family unit coz going it on his own could mean more flexible working hours? Try not to worry too much for now... only so much you can do. Mmm pasta... going off to hunt for food now.
