Becaroo , I can see why this option feels drastic and makes you sad. Luckily you have a lovely family, and you will feel better after. Like star said, the end of choice is a symbolic milestone, but for what it's worth, I have several friends who have gone through it and they've not looked back.
Potxola, I've heard such horror stories too. It makes me feel so unbelievably sad - I can't even contemplate such horror.
Pony, I've got a bit of swine flu paranoia too. London is swine flu capital, and I think the media are not particularly good at keeping people calm. Diego has been snotty and has a bit of a chesty cough. No temperature and he's in good spirits, but I kind of wonder, should I take him to the doctors, or am I just worrying too much?
Digi HURRAH!!! for the start of more restful nights. If you are anything like me, you probably feel like cotton wool has been removed from inside your brain, because you are at least getting at least 5 hours uninterrupted sleep. I am a big fan of sleep and found it very hard. It's amazing I am now up and ready to go after six hours, and feel lucky if I get them.
Diego sits up from lying down position using his ab muscles like a grown up. He's not exactly on the move just yet, but is trying to pull himself up in the bath, and has mastered the roll, sit up, roll moving routine. Changing his nappy feels like wrestling with an octopus, which means there has been a few leaks on the pant department lately. Luckily today while shopping in central london I had a FULL change of clothes, or I would have had to contend with a pissy wet baby.
I like option a) on the name front.
