Chasing as others have said, please don't worry. F couldn't roll over until months and months after the other babies on here did, but because of reflux she has been upright/on her legs since she was dinky - so her legs are made of iron! They all have their niche, and they will all get there in their own time.
McFlounce I hope you are doing ok, and J settled for you in the end. It must be so tough.
Zamboni what did you do in the end re: work? It is hard to make these decisions. DHs job plays 2nd fiddle to mine when push comes to shove, as I am the main bread winner. C'est la vie - and luckily it doesn't happen often.
Isles I think it is the right decision to not take on the lab - there are organisations that can dogsit, for instance if owners get taken into hospital. Worth a google as they could help?
Thanks for the thoughts re: doggies. I know what all have said is true, and the sensible thing to do is to leave it. Which I probs will, but in the meantime am enjoying googling Chorkie and brooding!
Chasing I HATED G&A - made f-all difference to the pain, but convinced me that I sounded like a man
. I can remember the vaguaries of labour but I was in a strange sort of haze (not drug induced - thanks to stingey disbelieving MWs), so am v impressed by your recollections of timings!
Another good night from F last night. 7-5, and then only woke because she'd done a poo. I went in to her, and she was whimpering in the corner of her cot, but trying to be asleep, and vair upset at the prospect of being woken and having her nappy changed. According to dh she has been a dream today, and has even lain still and flat for nappy changes instead of trying to flip-reverse and run!
