Munki, don't touch them, take ibuprofen if they become too uncomfortable and the worst will be over in a day or two. Expressing will just stimulate supply and you'll be in the same place again tomorrow. Congrats on losing the 9lbs. There is a very big hp thread, nearly 1000 posts already.
Compo, lol at enjoying seperation anxiety when it involves MIL.
HH, hope you are enjoying your weekend.
Cori, Raising boys sounds like a book I should get. DH thinks that I 'pander' to ds because he always asks for me if he's tired, poorly, hurt or angry with daddy. I tell him it's because I'm his mummy, and little boys need their mummies, but I'd love a book to say that it's normal!
Mabel & Cori,If you're ever in Notts let me know, I'm only down the rd and I'd love to meet up.
Mabel, I'm at your bargin dress, I never fimd anything like that. And congratulations on your beautiful baby.
zman, huggies swim nappies are ok, if you take the view that any poo's done in water are pretty vile and it's great to throw them away. However, as long as you don't get pull up reusable swim nappies they're really not that bad and cost about the same as a pack of disposables.
Bristols, isn't xenia a peice of work, she really does make you think, 'why have children then' fwiw, I love being at home with my dc and resent every one of the 16 hours a week that I spend away from them.
Marls, I'm pleased that your commision went well.
That's about it, there isn't really anything from me, we've all recovered from the v&d bug we've had (handled very well by myself given my previous emetaphobic state) and I'm down to 8 stone 9lbs after not eating for a few days. DH thinks I look ill, to which I replied, 'I am!'
