Wow, what an amazing post. I'm so pleased that you were able to vent in here (I really do love BB!), but I can't believe the insensitive comments that you mentioned in the first post! People are so judgemental, it's disgusting.

I'm glad to hear that the tanties have settled down a little bit since you first started posting this. Fingers crossed that it keeps going! I'm not trying to freak you out by saying this, but just letting you know - Charlie has started to throw some major tantrums as the birth of No. 2 approaches. He knows that there is a baby in Mummy's tummy and even though I don't think he really understands what's about to happen I think he can sense that life is about to change. So I just thought I'd let you know in case Matilda starts to react to it the closer your birth gets. I hope it doesn't happen though.

You and DH really sound like wonderful parents. You are so gently with Matilda through the tough times, and are really an inspiration to other parents (myself included). I know that you guys will come out the other side of it, as will Matilda, and be better for it all. You're rad. Big hugs to you, DH and your little darling.
