Oh, I got the Duet Lite, Frizbe - nice pushchair, nicer than the Marco Sky - which is similar, but not so well made and with ridiculously tall handle bars! They sell for a great price on eBay too, so I should recoup a lot of my money back when I sell it on, in a few months time. DD loves sitting up front 
. How is your DD coping with the new arrival? It's gone surprisingly well here. I thought my DD would be very jealous and difficult, but she's being quite sweet with him really.

Unisarah hope you have a better night hon {{{Hugs}}}
RP, does it sell well! 
ooooooh how fab! I know where to pop mine when we've done with it then!! tall handlebars ok by me, as quite tall myself
Caddy, I have no idea re the feeds, just growing I guess, we seem to be in 0-3 stuff now rather than newborn,I guess I may have to start dressing my little one properly soon, not just sleep suits all the time 
Hope everyone has a good night, we appear to be griping here again, every time I log onto mumsnet argh!

Happy Mothers Day to all
I'm now the proud owner of a teddy from ss, a champagne glass with mum on it from dd1 and a new mug from dd2 and dh made breakfast, and I got a nice bath in between feeds, hurrah!
Hope your all having fab days too.

Happy mothers day everyone! :)
It's strangely reassuring to hear that I'm not the only one who keeps falling asleep mid-feed. 
Dd just does not seem to sleep unless she's lying on her front on someone's chest so we're all exhausted by the screams from dd's cot when she's lying on her back.
Otherwise dd seems to be doing well. She still has a 'lovely' yellow glow from the jaundice but it seems to be clearing up well. The MWs are now visiting her every other day instead of every day, just to keep an eye on her progress.
After being so used to boys I keep calling the poor child "he" by mistake. It doesn't help that she looks exactly like ds2 did as a baby.

Sorry Caddy but lol at the bookshop incident! oopse eh! hope Charlotte is feeling better for you today.
Totally agree with what your saying re the sleeping thing as well, just go with the flow, if they sleep better on you then (shhhhh) stuff it co sleep, makes for a saner you and saner baby. If its any help dd usually has a boob here then drops off, so I wind her in her sleep, then bung her into her basket, which is in the cot next to our bed, this way she's used to waking up in the cot, but not quite sure how she's gotten there, I'm also swaddling her in the cot, so she thinks its still warm mummy there, working so far, and when she hits 10lbs she can go into a sleeping bag, which worked wonders with dd1, as it keeps them constantly warm, hence they don't wake for feeds if you get to them 1st! so you get a sleeping all night baby (bar the odd poo explosion which may wake them up) HTH's

Am a badddd mother, had hardly any sleep last nighy, due to feeding fest, and then shouted very loudly at dd1 this am, when she was trying to help me by turning on the light in dd2's room so I could change her, trouble is I'd already said no don't turn it on, as I wanted dd2 in the dark and staying asleep.....ended up with dd1 wailing like a banshee...oopseeeeeee........must try harder to be better mummy......seems I'm not nice without sleep........but then what was dd1 doing up at 6am anyway 
PoppyH wow, well done your dd is doing great sleeping, hopefully from Saturday my dd2 will take on the same pattern!!
RP every two hours is tough hon {{{Big Hugs}}} at least I only had one bad night last night...hope his feeding fest slows soon x
Hi to everyone else, sorry but gotta dash again, seems whenever I log on here, I'm wanted!!
