Thankful that I can have DS in his sleeping bag & feed him laying down, but know that if when we both fall asleep in the process, he won't get too hot, too cold or smothered by the duvet. Good job when he fed every 3 motherfucking hours last night!! (I missed sweary Wednesday 
)
fatima think DS is too greedy to notice much, although does like to stop & chat occassionally. DD used to look around the room whilst ^keeping hold of my nipple> 
missL was it you asking about bedtime? With DD we used to put her to bed at a time that suited us/DH's commute to London, so between 8 & 9. It's only now, when I have to get her up & out earlier that I want to bring this forward a bit. DS goes to bed after DD, but its still not 7pm. Do what suits you...

pr I read that thread. Gawd how I despise the DM. I actually despise the fact that it seems to be representative of a significant proportion of the citizens of my country more. My MIL reads it, but claims to do so ironically 
At least she has the decency to be embarassed about it.

My mum buys it on Tuesdays for the health section . i'm not quite sure how she isn't a hypochondriac, because everything causes or prevents cancer according to that rag. I hate it.

The 13 yo is called Jacob and he is absolutely magnificent with the babies. He sounds just like your son- brilliant 99% of the time and suddenly a hormone bomb from out of nowhere! I can't fault him with the twins, he is naturally great with them. He has a very calm and peaceful demeanour that ingratiates him with animals too. My daughter couldn't be more different! She is called Taryn and just fizzes with mental energy, meaning all animals look panicked whenever she approaches! The babies were a bit with her when they were first born, but are now accustomed to her particular brand of fizziness I think. She tries very hard though, and cannot understand why babies and animals freak out with her when they don't with Jake. She is getting better though- 18 weeks of me repeating the same cautions, warnings and advice seem to be slowly penetrating! ("don't get up in their faces", "hold them firmly so they don't feel like you are going to drop them" etc etc) She is supersmart academically, just not an ounce of common sense in her body!

I am thankful for my beautiful, amazing, precious little girl who slept 8.30-4.30 and 5-8
I am thankful for my dh who is a good man who I love lots & lots even when he snores
I am thankful for breast pumps so my boobs didn't explode this morning. And freezers so I can store the 4oz that poured out of one boob in a matter of minutes 
detective my dads car was written off 2 years ago when someone else drove into it at a junction. His insurance went up, because apparently if your car has been hit, you are more likely to go on to have another accident because you become a more cautious driver. At least that was the bollocks they told him when he asked.
I struggle to feed LO when we're out anywhere now, as she's too nosy, constantly torn between wanting to see what's going on and wanting food, which results in a messy, fraught attempt at feeding, with her tangled in a muslin, and me getting more and more hot under the collar.
