Well done horseyfoal on your roll.:)
That's fab VQ. I find I can feel worse after a decent sleep, after so long w/out because the adrenaline eases off I presume.
PR agreed. Is that phrase 'there's nothing new under the Sun' or something?? I'm so lucky to have my v supportive and understanding parents close. Otherwise the feelings of failure with DD's "weight gain issues" would have been immense.
FWIW I HATE those birth story competitions. I met a grp of mums after DD was born who'd all had complicated deliveries in one way or another, so when I said that I found the 12hr show to baby, 2hrs 0-10cm labour a shock & couldn't get my head around it, they all looked a bit dismissive and said things like "lucky you" 
You can't win with people like that.

arse I had a huge post in relation to petite and I lost it :( try n recoup later. basically had similar experiences trying to be a teacher for 11 years and the do it how you want and sod everyone else has paid off there (much easier in special ed though - last year it was 'get the gloop out' year before we made countless cola/mento rockets 
(I did make them squiggle write about the rockets mind!)

oh yes edited other bits were 'outer societies let mum go into 6 weeks of confinement /no other commitments for a reason (less pnd)'
and - how do you politely refuse visitors.
what the hell did mum's do in the days before extraction fans? I heart my extractor fan
I'm struggling with 'inuterine growth restriction'. makes me so sad :(

chick all posts will be interpreted slightly differently dependent on how you are feeling at the time of reading. For example, the title of the last thread - if that had been the title of this thread, I would have exploded!!!

You only need worry about me when I stop swearing! That's when you know the scary bits about to arrive so take cover!!! Seriously. DP knows when I've stopped swearing at him I'm at the end of a very long tether. If I start swearing at people then I've lost the battle and make myself look like the one in the wrong.
The way I see it though, they are just words. It's how you say it rather than what you say. You say it with menace, or you say it with exasperation, the tone is different as are the sentiments.
Sophia you are right! He is 8 weeks! I thought that to myself this morning as I scratched my head wondering why he was doing the things he was doing. Anyway. He will be even more broked later :( injection day....
I'm still in bed. Baby asleep on me. I'll wake him soon so he doesn't think it's still night time! 
.
Today is my first absolute proper day alone! I've only been alone (minus DP and DS) with Oscar once. For 2 hours. DP is in work 11-7, So I've got 4 hours and a bout of injections (typical he would be in work for that wouldn't he!!) to myself! I'm enjoying the peace right now!

Today just keeps getting better. Was checking emails zoning out to white noise on youtube when I heard a gurgle, and looked down to see rivers of vom pouring out of LO. The kind of vom where you think, "surerly that's it?" but it just keeps on coming. Soaked through 3 layers of my clothes

kirrin, find it v amusing imagining your daughter going round saying by 'eck! I still find it amazing when ds1 says something so adult sounding, with an intonation obviously copied exactly from me or DH. Little moments like that almost make the toddler tantrums/refusing to eat anything but sausages/escaping down the driveway/constant demands for Peppa worthwhile!!
Teddy went 11-7 last night 
. I tried to put him down about 8 too, did usual 10.30 routine, change, grobag, feed, lights off, but he was awake again within the hour. But then later sleeps for 7 hours. Amazed that he knows the difference! Is it the time, or the fact we're not in the room??
On Cradle cap, I tried the dentinox shampoo yesterday, and it has just dried out his scalp so it looks more scaly than before. Anyone else had success with it? I wonder whether it needs a few applications to work, but as it made his head look more red and irritated than before I'm a bit reluctant to use again. I've ordered aveeno lotion so will try that too but wondered if anyone else had success with dentinox. It's actually leftover from ds1, didn't work for him either, you'd think I'd learn!

No apology needed chick. Very hard to reas an author's tone and your own views colour it, as VQ said.
I have a very greedy little boy. Long old feed, he's pulling off and on, on second boob. I say 'are u finished?', so he gives me the big blues and sucks my nipple, looking up at me, as if daring me to stop him!! He then proceeds to posset a load of milk, so he is full but just doesn't want to stop with the boob. Typical man

By the way, I was being serious about the bum sex but from what you say, your DH would be a bit much
