Katzg - someone remembers me 
I do still lurk occasionally but I rarely post - somehow it seems cheeky to stick my oar in after so long! But now that I've been invited, so to speak... 
Meg's actual birthday is tomorrow - 7/6/5 - very memorable date! She's gorgeous - of course I would say that, but she is 
. She's been crawling for a month or so and she's walking with her little truck or holding onto our hands. She says Mama and Dada - sometimes even to the right people!! - and she's got her two middle bottom teeth and one at the top, but to the side of where the front two should be! It looks cute but very weird at the same time.
I finally stopped breastfeeding last week - after all that fuss to get started, then never wanting a bottle, she gave up without any fuss at all. I just didn't offer a breastfeed one morning and dh gave her a beaker of cows milk instead. She took it as if that was the way it had always been. A week later we did the same with her evening feed, with the same result. She hasn't asked for a breastfeed once. I don't know whether to be pleased it has been so untraumatic for her, and that we obviously timed it well, or to be devastated that I was so instantly replaceable 
.
And now I start work again on Thursday 
. It is a new job, and I'm actually quite excited about it, but at the same time I will get to spend less time with Meg, so it's sad too. But she will be with my PIL for 2 days and at nursery for 1 day, and I know that she has a fantastic time whichever, so at least I don't have to worry about her childcare.
Right - that's plenty for one message, now I need to read all the other messages and try to catch up!
