Yo all.
Aurelia still not her usual sunny self but cheered up a bit after calpol earlier and after using desnotter, olbas and saline she has the nasal passages of daniela westbrook gone down fine.
felix on the other hand was the worst. ever. i had to drag/carry him round waitrose and then all the way home uphill whilst pushing pram with heavy shopping bags attached, one-handed. i ripped my fave cath kidston shopping bag and hurt my wrist. and i knew i was sounding like a proper fishwife the way i ended up talking to him whilst he made big blue eyes at every passerby like "i'm such an angel, can you believe the way my mother speaks to me?" 
mlic that sounds really really positive. it great that she 'found' something. I so hope it works.
memphis i think tsc might have a point re the jabs being a trigger. be gentle to yourself, you're doing so well. keep talking to us and call the hv back. PLEASE.
tsc 
at your tufty/karen carpenter dp!
chulita now, see, because you've martyred yourself re dairy, you can now ask DH to buy you the largest box of these. they are the best! tis a lovely lady that makes them - if you do order some, tell her i sent you so hopefully she will make you some for xmas (she only makes them for xmas and easter these days)
stac i do a couple of classes (sensory and rhyme) with A. if felix is home then most of the focus is on him and she just fits in. if i get some time with her then i just chat to her and make her laugh or sing nursery rhymes with actions to her (eg grand old duke of york or horsey ones). otherwise, she likes laying on her tummy with mirrors and crinkly-sounding books etc to play with or sitting in her bouncy chair just watching the chaos felix and i.
dh felix was the same plus he wouldn't take a bottle either. i did leave him a couple of times when he was newborn and wouldn't go down in the evenings anyway - i'd feed him first then go out for a couple of hours. when he started going up to bed earlier, i'd do his bedtime feed, get him to sleep then go out afterwards. yes, he did sometimes cry a bit but i knew my father and step-mother would settle him eventually. In fact the first time we left him, my step-mother was ill so my brave father did it alone, we returned to see my father playing guitar to a sleepy felix on his lap 
Could you do that with D (not the guitar bit ) - feed him then go out for a while?
Even tho A will take a bottle, to make DH's life easier I tend to feed her and put her down before going out - otherwise he has to put them both down by himself.
