CD, the Monsoon website seems to have a lot more to it than the last time I looked (but that was before pregnancy). All the dresses look quite nice.
Sorry everyone that things are getting to.
I've had a hectic day, woke up at 6.15 to Mike feeding baby his bottle and reminding me I had to get up (my plan, to get ready for the day ahead before Mike left for work). Failed to really comply with my own plan, and baby feeding verrrrry slowly.
Thursday is the local "breastfeeding dropin" but it seems to be as much a social group for those who want it, women welcome even if they've given up on bf. At least as a dropin the times aren't strict, as Danny's slow feed, started 9 am, and a very fumbly nappy change needed at 10 meant we arrived nearly an hour later than planned! It turned out a lot of past and present attendees meet for lunch afterwards at a nearby cafe, so that was fun, 6 of us with buggies and babies, and another 2 women with theirs at the next table - a local estate agent having to squeeze past us all to get to the gents, hehe. One of the other women was meeting someone off another internet forum this afternoon, amused me. I had to decline an invitation to head off to another park as Mike was on his way home and my dad was coming round to visit, but both were at our house some time before me.
Lots of running round clearing up at home even with 2 men to see to Danny's nappy and feed, then had to go back out to buy more fruit, we'd persuaded dp to go back to bed for a much needed nap. Unfortunately, while I was out, a social worker turned up for an unscheduled visit! eek! he wasn't concerned by us, we really didn't need the visit and I think that was clear, but I was put out that he'd woken Mike up, as there's no catch up time on a missed nap or a missed anything else in those gaps between feeds.
Danny was great all the time he was out but has been wanting to be held a lot at home, so it has taken me literally hours to get to line 3 of this looooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnggg post. I think I need voice recognition/ dictation software but I'd need the time to work out how to use it.
Nuttygirl, if you're around any of the times I am (parts of 2 weekends but spending time in other places as well) I'd love to meet up. I now have all our train tickets, and will be arriving in Leeds early afternoon on Thursday 5 July, travelling back through Leeds Sunday, (sister's wedding in Salford Friday, staying in Ilkley with my mum). Then I'm back again Wednesday 18-Mon 23 but spending a lot of 19-22 July in Harrogate.
I'm going to end this post before it crashes and send it, hope to get more mumsnet time later but am going to try to phone my mum before we start getting ready for 9 pm feed, expressing, etc etc.
Take care all.
