Arcadie trust you to be contrary That's interesting though, and I agree with Smac that I would not have wanted anyone poking around down there 6 weeks pp.
Glad to hear you had a better night iwcas, has it continued to improve? Love the giggling though. Isobel's laughing more and more these days too. And all of us MMMers know you're plenty funny, maybe R just needs to hone his sense of humour
Pixie I'm glad the reassessment of your DD's meds has made a difference. Is she getting used to the syringe driver? It must be awful if she's finding it distressing, but if she gets used to it now she will, with any luck, have absolutely no fear of needles when she's older. I'm a dreadful needlephobic, but DH had to have a lot of blood tests when he was young, and isn't bothered at all by them now.
Smac yay for DD sleeping in her own room!
Dizzi/BelgianMummy welcome back! Career change sounds exciting, what would you enjoy doing? Hope your friend and her baby are doing well, it must be such a scary thing to go through.
Flip hope you're feeling better, and glad DH had recovered enough to look after you.
siamese good news about DH's contract.
evitas hope you're recovering from your hospital visit.
Melk lovely news about your friend. Thinking about teeny tiny newborns makes me a bit broody.. And your post about sleeping made a lot of sense. Your point about not "counting" sleep reminded me of when we were all pregnant and approaching/going over our due dates, and all you can think about is the birth, and if you're dilated or having BHs, and how much longer?? It's big stuff at the time, but in a few months you look back and it doesn't seem nearly as important, when you're no longer in the middle of it. Sorry, that's very rambly, I hope it makes some kind of sense.
Isobel is being alternately very smiley and giggly, and incredibly grumpy. I think her teeth might be bothering her, as she is drooling loads and has started rubbing her ears a bit. She's getting close to being able to sit unsupported, and really doesn't like to be on her back anymore. In her bouncy chair, or her bath, or carseat, she strains to sit up. So I've bought her a Bumbo! It arrived today, I'm looking forward to trying it out. It will be nice if I can leave her in it for short periods while I get on with other things. I can leave her on her mat, but she rolls onto the front now, and is inevitably sick after about a minute. And then usually manages to roll around in the sick
We're driving to Belgium next week to visit the in-laws before their move to Montenegro. The Eurostar would have been quicker, but this way we can load the car up with all the crap stuff we need. I'm a bit nervous about it anyway, but with any luck she'll sleep in the car for at least part of the journey. DH doesn't drive, so that's all down to me.
