Tried to post on the original thread and my post got rejected as its full! Have copied and pasted below....
Congrats on the job offer ttl...hope the other one comes up trumps for you too.
Dd isn't quite crawling yet, but would very much like to. She is the queen of the Klingons at the moment, and has a meltdown the second I put her down, look in the opposite direction, or if someone else so much as looks at her. Not all the time thankfully, but definitely for part of every day.
On the bf thing, it's so personal.....I've just dropped doing the afternoon feed myself be cause dd is so distractible that she bobs on and off, which I don't like around other people, and now she finally has teeth the constant latch on/off was really hurting. I just bf once a day, our morning snuggle when she's nice and calm. I would be sad to give that one up just yet.

I miss the days when Elijah use to sleep sleep sleep, now he is awake far to much 
min just do what you want to do, dh has been off for the last three days and it has been great but I find when he is home I never remember when I last fed him and he seems to eat alot 
Hey viroids 
Grrr I just posted this but it's not appeared, so I'm missing a big chunk coz I forgot to copy before posting - stupid app!! 
Me and DH made up after an uncomfortable day... This baby stuff is super stressful I think we're going to get some couples counselling. Essentially we've been having the same argument for ten years (I'm opinionated and like things just so, he tries to please me and resents me for it) and we need to resolve it one way or another! It can't help that we haven't had sex in six months, so that's our new year resolution - shag more!!
Min - I'm impressed by your hectic schedule!! I didn't leave the house without DH for 5 weeks and unless we had to go to the GPs, every day was a PJ day! 
I'm a bit more active now, but I don't like to plan ahead too much, it tends to be more like 'ok, he's had a feed, he seems in a good mood, let's go for a walk!'
This Tues we're going to baby cinema club which I'm really excited about! We have an Everyman cinema which is all comfy sofa seating, and for £10 you get movie, cake & coffee They have both the lights up and the sound down a little so it's baby friendly, and crying is expected, so no judgement, lol. Then he's got his jabs at the doctors after, so Weds there's nowt planned in case he's unsettled.
Then Thursday night mummy's going out for cocktails 
- oh yeeeeah! Starting at 5pm and aiming to be home for 8pm so I don't miss more than one feed, so not very rock and roll, but it's a start!
Well the Friday before my boss let me take the day off to go sofa shopping then the Saturday I went to a wedding and the Sunday got ambulanced to hospital in agony with a "urine infection" so I kept my boss updated. Monday my plug went and went to hospital at 33+6, was told I was in early labour but kept in contact with my boss was telling her that I am sure i'll be back at work next week if they can get my labour to stop 
Was in complete denial
Had him on the Wednesday
Had absolutely no maternity leave before I had him so was essential my boss knew he was born.
Min - ikea??? Why o why would you do that to yourself
I'm having to ban poor DH from blowing his nose near J - he has a particularly loud HONK and has woken him on more than one occasion!
Juni - we totally did that! Ended up buying a new microwave last week I never knew our old one was actually freakishly small
Hope you took a Last Tango break - I love that show! I taped it coz was having a well earned nap.
Furry - I texted my line manager but more because I knew he'd be interested that because of any HR requirement. I can't imagine why they need to know particularly unless you were early - if your LO came whilst you were on holiday and not mat leave yet, I think that can change your dates? I was wondering if I need to let my life insurance know, I think J gets some cover through my policy for the first few years of life, but I don't know if he gets it if I don't tell them!
Just got J to sleep with his dummy, he's been a bit of a bugger this evening... He had a four hour nap this afternoon (on me, so I couldn't do any housework shame!!) so I'm a bit worried he'll hardly sleep tonite...
We've all been there Min
You're not shit, it's just that babies are tiny little terrors who have no idea what they want and even when they get it, sometimes they're not happy!
Getting nothing done is never an issue - after the night I've had I fully intend to not get dressed today. It's my prerogative as a new mother!
I remember you buying a sofa cookie at least you got it sorted before Eli & you didn't waste any mat leave waiting for him to arrive!
I was already on mat leave when Skyla arrived & my friend told my boss I'd had her so I'm gonna leave it. I hate the place & my boss was an evil cow while I was upduffed so I'm quite happy to have no contact till (if) I return.
Enjoy your pj days viroids, I've had a bad night with Skyla too but i have to get dressed today, fully intend be back in my pjs by early afternoon!
.I bet we're all on phones! Will try to get on laptop later.
min it's VERY common for babies to be screaming horrors at particular times in the first few weeks. I used to cry at half four each day as I knew when she woke it would be screaming for up to four or five hours. It's just her way if telling you she's a bit scared - every single thing that happens each day is new and overstimulating to her and screaming discharges the build up of stress. It may also be wind - a big burp helped DD and it can take ages to get it up. I'll try and link some websites I obsessively read to get through it. She stopped at six weeks and now only carries in like that when she is over tired. You're not shit anything, it's hard, you're learning so much about parenting, baby girl, yourself...all on v little sleep after a major op. Cut yourself some slack!
Hardly any sleep here as had her in with me to promote both boobies and I got a bit cold. If she has the left next I'll be over the moon but she had it plenty overnight, almost refused the right. Babies!!
