Hi Ladies,
Angel that is just terrible about your DH's job! That's the last thing you need! I hope it's just a misunderstanding.
Molly that sounds really horrific having a cracked nipple and thrush. It must be so annoying to have to avoid the usual medicines for thrush because of your allergy. I hope it feels better soon. Like Heffa, my GP is awesome, so don't feel too ashamed, there are some good ones out there!
Alex great to read your post, glad things are going well for you!
ML I hope you're doing ok, I'm thinking of you.
Mooseymoo I will adopt "poonami" as the phrase to describe what happens nearly every day in Eric's nappy - he uses such force that if he's sat up and bent forward it shoots up to his armpits! I should own stocks in Vanish! Also, I now want to make sausage and lentil hotpot since you mentioned making it!
Pigley that is fab about the photos!! You could have yourself a nice little business there! How interesting that you were born in NZ! It seems an awful lot of paperwork and fees so if you already have a perfectly good passport I can see how getting another wouldn't be top priority. That's why I wanted to get my DSs set up as dual citizens right away, so they won't have to hassle with doing it all from the beginning on their own.
Hollyoaks glad to hear the girls are getting well. So sorry about the tantrums from your DD1, I know exactly what you mean about the slightest thing setting off a tantrum and how draining it is. Luckily things have calmed down over here lately so hopefully yours will settle soon too! That's so cute that she took her clothes off to be weighed. 
Pamelat I hope things are going ok for you with your DD. I've been thinking about you and her reaction to Alex sounds a lot like how my DS1 was with Eric initially, he was having a lot of anxiety dreams and waking in the night before he was able to talk about his feelings. He has no problems showing his feelings now! 
Carikube I'm glad to hear that you were sad about not sleeping with DD in your bed anymore and now she's in her own room. I'll try to be strong! I know what you mean about the distance between you and DH. We have the same thing here, too. I think that once the babies get a bit older it will get easier in some ways and we should be able to relax a bit more. I hope! I was thinking of getting a jigsaw puzzle to do with DH here, but he's such a mulit-tasker I don't know if I could get him to focus on it for any length of time! 
Cupcake I am glad to hear that you know of someone with the diaphragmatic hernia that was fine, that's very reassuring.
The latest word on baby Brucie is that his kidneys aren't functioning properly so there is fluid collecting especially on the lungs and it's making his breathing more difficult. So having to rely on ventilator and medicines even more than before. My friend said her heart is in her mouth when she checks to see how he's doing every couple of hours. It must be torture. Please keep sending out the prayers and positive thoughts for the little guy!
Ages ago when we were talking about Plantar Fasciitis, someone asked about the insoles - the ones I have are Dr Scholls Orthaheel inserts. I got them at Boots and they're great. Pricey at £21, but I think they're worth it.
It really made me feel teary to know that there is a May 2011 ante natal group now! I wish I had been on the thread from the beginning, but I found it just when I needed it most - after my 20 week scan and I found out it was a boy and my big baby panic set in! We were TTC for nearly a year and it was funny that I fell pregnant at the same time I was with DS1 - their due dates were within a week of each other. I must be extra fertile this time of year! DH had been in Wales for a few days and I had come back to London to work, so when we reunited that's when the magic happened. Also I had decided that if I never got pregnant I'd be happy with just DS1 so I guess not worrying about it helped, too!
I'm glad so many have managed to continue posting to the thread. I wonder how MarquiseDeMerteuil is getting on and if her holiday to Canada has happened yet?
Well, Eric is in his cot and not a peep on the baby monitor! Don't want to jinx it but I'm feeling hopeful. He had about an hour long nap in it this morning as well so I'm hoping he's getting used to it. Whilst in the bed with me, he generally wants about 3 feeds during the night, so it will be interesting to see how it goes if he manages to stay in the cot all night.
Eric has been really grumpy with the teething as well - his 2 bottom front teeth have cut and are getting bigger and I can see the two top front ones are coming down but not near cutting yet so could have grumpiness for a while yet. I usually end up giving him some Calpol in the evening when he gets particularly grizzly. He won't take a dummy anymore now so it's my only defence!
Sassles I ended up hanging a piece of the blackout fabric I bought to make curtains for the nursery before Eric was born over the window today! Those curtains STILL aren't finished yet! I hope it goes ok getting Sam into his own room this weekend! If it doesn't go ok for us here I might just adopt SK's philosophy - they're only babies for such a short time!
DS1 was back at pre-school this afternoon! Bliss! I was able to clean and dust the dining room!
I'll be seeing my GP next week to check on this Mirena coil. I'm wondering if my depression is partially because of it as well. I think AF is here now but hard to tell because I've been spotting the whole 5 weeks I've had the coil. I'm not overly impressed by it so far but GP warned me that it wasn't usually a picnic in the first weeks of having it. I will speak to her about PND as well, though the counselling I received after having PND with DS1 was pretty hopeless and I definitely don't want to go to taking pills unless it gets worse so not sure what else can be done. I'm hoping that things will get better as we get into more of a routine.
We're off to Legoland tomorrow! Last time we went I had a big bump and couldn't go on any rides with DS so I'm looking forward to it.
Wow, that felt great being able to type loads! At an actual computer!! I'm sure I missed out a lot, but I hope that you're all well!
