Hello new thread! Trying to catch up on reading rest of last thread and all of this one. Obviously forgotten what I was going to say to whom already.
Firstly Happy birthday MM! The weather came out for it. It was my Mummy's birthday today too (I don't still call her Mummy though). We took her to the Bowie exhibition at the V&A and L was really great, I think he enjoyed it me dancing with him.
Pass I'm sorry about your Aunty but that did make me smile with recognition. L is a real babbler and turning in to a right squealer too. It was Clarella and also me (and also... Kyz maybe? 
) who said we feel like ours are the noisy babies. DH said he doesn't even think about it bothering other people but I cringe, I'd hate to think I was spoiling someone's day/flight/funeral.
Love to PR, Clarella, Evil and anyone else suffering with illness, feeding or general stress. We had a shit night last night so I've given him an extra ff today to see if that helps.
and sleepy dung to all xx

Haha yes I do really test suppositories, in fact I think we're the market leader in constipation suppository manufacturing 
Sounds shit but I love my job. I test other things too, not just suppositories

Evil have you got a sling? That's helped F massively the past few days, I wore a shiny clean stripe in the kitchen floor this morning, pacing up and down til she settled and fell asleep.
Whoever it was I sent the carrot cake recipe too fecking baby brain they are delish. DH "doesn't like carrot cake" so I told him they were cinammon and raisin. He loved them. He was not impressed when I revealed their true nature, but could not take back the praise mwah haha. I am a pro at hiding food within food. The grater and the blender are my friends
Bit nervy about weaning here too. Just because I haven't got a clue. Garden keeps putting lovely pics on fb of her girls with various delights, I'm quite sure F will have to make do with much duller food 
DH is watching a programme about tarantulas. I am doing my utmost to not hear or see it.

Eldest DS is in hospital for 2 weeks from tomorrow so J and I will be joining him.
It's going to be a real bastard of a fortnight but needs must!
J isn't doing too badly, feeding, sleeping still in our bed!! although I did have a slight melt down today after deciding J must be developmentally behind because he's too small to sit properly in the upright gym thing
he's actually fine and dandy but I'm a worrier and slightly hysterical from stress. What I would like very much is to spend a night with just DP to be just a couple again and to have vast amounts of sex it's frustrating that I can't e en cuddle him because J is constantly on one of us or yelling!
Oh and eldest is ado going through a SENCO assessment at school so that's all going on, poor DS2 he's suffering because he's so easy and stress free!!! He'll like some quality time with DP though while the rest of us are away.
Expect to hear from me a lot over the coming weeks, hospitals are snooze fests.

R's feeds are dramatically shorter suddenly too. I'm convinced he can't be full, yet he doesn't get hungry again for 1 1/2-2 hours after a 5-10 minute feed
