PB fwiw I think the contribution you make to your family life should be valued way beyond money. Look at all you do for your kids, your DH, yourself. Look at the difference between when your DS1 was first diagnosed and now, when he is clearly thriving. Your DD's anxiety, Kurt's development - you take it all in your stride and constantly seem to be thinking up positive solutions. I really envy you tbh, if I had half your energy and can-do spirit I'd consider myself well blessed. Maybe your DH needs to take that into consideration next time he ponders the weekly wage.
dizzy big hugs for you, and TS even bigger ones. It broke my heart a little bit reading about your family stuff So unnecessary. I wish there was something better I could say than that I hope it comes good in the end.
no1 how frightening My goodness, I'm so glad you're all okay. They say bad things come in threes so maybe you've had your share already. I hope you're curled up at home with sleeping children abed and a glass of something nice in hand
lwfh what can I say but [melt] [melt] [melt] My ovaries are twanging like a steel string guitar here The whole family looks gorgeous, many congratulations again. FWIW DS wasn't a great crier (something I've often given thanks for) so I wouldn't worry too much as long as she's feeding, weeing and pooing.
oops boo to interrupted nights out
Oh dizzy I forgot to say about the ear, might it be worth getting syringed? I had water trapped in my ear once because there was so much wax that it had formed a plug [boak]. The syringing was bliss. Otherwise, I currently have the world's lamest cold that has basically blocked one sinus and means I produce tonnes of fluoro-snot from one nostril all day long; my face aches on that side and my ear on that side is constantly popping, so maybe you have something similar.
