Thanks everyone for replying about my question, it is nice to have others who have been in the sam eboat and understand how I am feeling about DD. As you have all said in one way or another....shes my daughter, I birthed her and DH and I call the shots, dont like it then thats tough! I feel more confident with that, now that I'm not some freakishly over clingy mummy

KellyD- thats not such geat news about the immunisation. I hope Tara is starting to feel better the poor little mite.

briggsy's girl- well done on being so brave and getting to the concert!

marcellus- hope the camping was a fun time by all. It must be lovely to watch DS have so much fun feeding the animals.

Acacia- BIG BIG well dne on BF for 1 year , thats just fantastic! Im sure that 1st year has just dissolve before yor eyes, DD is 3 months and I was certain I only birthed her a few weeks ago!

butterfly_warrior- Happy 1st Birthday Sam! Please dont feel like we newbies are taking over this planet on you. Its the experience and advice of you wonderful mummys that we are seeking out most of the time. Having others who have struggled to get the extra precious bundles and explain that how we feel is normal is beyond any advice many of us can get from our families. It really is invaluable.

sazzafrazz- I hope the issues you are writing about arent too overwhelming and everything is ok.

Hi Nic & Lenny and everyone else that hasnt been on for a while.
