Yay! Have finally managed to catch up with this thread.
floozie happy very belated birthday- glad to hear you managed to do some partying. Sounds like you are really stretched at the moment with all the jobs you have to do. Just remember, it doesn't matter if things aren't perfect (or even close), the important thing is that you get to have quality time with your dcs and look after yourself too.
Tyson I'm convinced Harry is teething because he seems to be in pain, his cheeks are red, he's drooling like mad and chewing everything in sight. I can also feel his teeth when he is feeding or if I run my finger round his mouth. I can also see white, like you described with Sophie.
Is anybody else finding their babies are trying to talk? He intently watches my mouth and tries to make the same shapes with his mouth whilst making random noises. Dh and I are trying to convince people that his "aaaar" noise is actually an attempt to say "Harry"!
Reading all your difficulties with work, i feel very grateful that we can afford for me to be a sahm for the time being. I still have a PhD to finish (have started to write again) but after that, I can concentrate on being a (desperate) housewife.
Elsa we have saved up enough tescos vouchers to pay for a substantial portion of a cruise, but have to wait until Harry is 1 year old. the trick is either not being pg before then or being at a stage of pg that I can still enjoy a cruise!
Had a consultant's appt on Tues and the fibroids haven't shrunk (I still have a bulge equivalent to about normal 4 months pg). good news is, i should be suitable for treatment that will allow further children. She will get back to me about it soon. Less good news, i found a boob lump. I'm hoping that it's just milk, but it hasn't shifted in a couple of weeks. I've got to go for a scan at some stage to get it checked (no date yet).
oops, turned into a long post!
