Cookies funny you should say that, as sling libraries are an arse to get to (and not an 'arse yogurt' that my phone tried to say), I was going to say you could try John Lewis for an Ergo360 - I would imagine they'd be good with demoing like they are with pushchairs?? Beach sounds lush - we went for a picnic tea last Weds eve on the beach. DP went for a swim. I tied my back and shoulder muscles in knots feeding and tried to entertain DD past her bedtime but it was really lovely - I just love this time of year. Bonus late summer days and prospect of nice autumn walks - yum!
I'm so behind I've forgotten what I was going to say.
pulpi are you out there?
Cheery glad all is good - Mo is super cute! Hope he's feeling better.
Indians Hallie has such a wise face, she is lovely! Hope the sun comes out again before you have to leave.
Beaut you're a legend. That is all! MB is such a dude, look at him chilling! How's Ted's skin, has it cleared up?
Bluebell how's it going? Sorry the lactation bird wasn't helpful - it really didn't sound like brilliant advice, tbh. J can just manage sit up feeds (being massive and with good neck muscles) but even he needs loads of support and I just find myself all tense. I keep trying it, just to see if helps with the wind and the vomming. I am fucking sick of fucking sick!!! You are totes amazeballs for your perseverance hooray for bloody mindedness so I hope things are improving on some level. I found bf pretty miserable until about 12w first time round but it didn't make me bleed!

Anna how are you doing, my lovely?
julfin brilliant that you're back home and DH is spending time with Jasper. You've come a long way. Are things starting to feel more 'normal' in terms of your new family, or is it still early days? Does DH say much about how he's feeling? We've got a Cocoonababy too, although J is looking like he will outgrow it soon - I am dreading that transition!
Rolly ugh the feed-timing with nursery trips is so annoying! Completely hear you! And nursery is loads more flexible than school! Is Raff better now?
elfen welcome :-)
Ruby I did baby sensory with DD, loved it. Will hopefully do it with J in a few months I think. Did you get some coffee dates afterwards??
All ok with us, had jabs on Weds and he was fine - wailed a bit but nothing too bad. I was brave! And didn't seem to have any ill effects afterwards, so that was good. Didn't like the rotavirus much and spat it out. And I now understand why you were all talking about bringing Calpol to the appt etc - it's the meningitis B jab, which has an interaction with one of the others making a fever pretty likely - it wasn't given when I had DD two years ago. The nurse at my GP gave J a dose of Calpol, so that was good.
I am getting a bit fed up with the wind and sick, I can't lie. I wish I could remember how long it lasted with DD, she was just the same if not worse. I have some infant Gaviscon but it's such a giant faff unless you're bottle feeding I'm not sure it'll be any easier than wiping sick off me him/the floor/the sofa/random passers-by
Right, dinner. We eat far too late. But at least tonight is easy as I made a red Thai curry paste earlier so DH has a dinner kit to assemble with Quorn, broccoli and sugar snaps. I am starving!!
dats, 9weeks and 2days looks like a toddler
