dh You can fly even later if you've got an all clear statement from your GP.
tsc Blimey, I hope you're gonna get a break soon. Sounds like a nightmare round yours.
mlic Have fun at CP!
viks We've got the Baby Jogger CMD. It's very good, easy to push, etc. However, I would suggest you wait and see how you get on. We've used it maybe 5 times so far. It's always been so cold and windy that I preferred to have F in a sling and just used M's buggy. I suppose though that the Baby Jogger will come in handy when F is a bit older and a bit more robust and I don't worry about his tiny newborn body getting cold so much anymore
chul I love the dress. It looks very nice. I couldn't wear it at the moment though, cos my tummy is still horrendously big, much more so than 4 weeks after M's birth. It is probably to do with me having eaten everything and everyone in sight during pregnancy. And after really.
So you will probably be absolutely fine with the dress.
cake Thanks again for all your advice and experience about reflux and colic. We've had a much better weekend with him so something we're doing must be working, though he seems again more unsettled today. I can hear that he's swallowing too much air and I have been doing the things you've suggested but he goes mental if I take him off once the letdown starts. Oh well, I have a doctor's appointment next week and will ask again then.
We had a lovely weekend with SIL and her DH. Both kids were in very good moods (well, one was mainly sleeping and eating
). We went to a tapas bar with them yesterday and it was really, really nice. M was running around like a loon, flirting with the waiters and F was all snuggled up with me in the sling. I briefly took him out in the beggining to take off his snowsuit and you could actually hear the sigh that went through the restaurant. So funny, how people just melt when they see newborns.
Ooops, had lots more to say, but babyboy is waking up, so gotta go.
False alarm, he settled again. Can't remember who asked about telly. I hardly have it on during the week, a bit more at the weekend. Mainly because I don't like the constant noise, it makes me all shaky, but also cos I've realised that M gets used to it being on. She points out when a programme finishes and it goes quiet and she moans until another programme comes on and I don't like the idea of that, so I will continue with keeping it off most of the time. She doesn't really watch anything yet anyway, cos she can't concentrate long enough.
Right, I'm used to M being the last with most things on this thread anyway, but if you are actually telling me that she should be counting, I'm gonna leave
She still doesn't say a word, never mind bloody counting.
What are your plans for the week? We're gonna go to the Christmas marked again today, though it is really windy outside. No big plans otherwise.
I'd better go now, see you all later.
