    Miss M : Congrats on the arrival of Trent , I've been hovering waiting to hear your news. Such a big boy as well... I can sympathise re the b/fing and know how tiring it is with a lazy eater and having to express as well. Hopefully after a couple of weeks he will pick up on the feedings for you.

    Tara started out with her feeds taking 1 1/2 hours and on 3 hourly feeds, she now only takes between 30-45 minutes (including nappy change) to get through her feeds. I hope to see you in the parenting thread when you get some free time . I have found the girls there to be a huge help with all the changes that happen in the first weeks. Once again huge congrats to you and DP.

    Oh Miss M congrats. I can tell you boys are very special. but then I am bias. My advise re the breast feeding try a nipple sheild for a few weeks. And if it doesnt work dont beat yourself up about it nobody tells you how friggin hard it all is.

    Smithy I had to have a chuckle over DtD with DH. As a random act of kindness my DH got a bit last night and we had the same conversation. Bit uncomforatable with a lump in the way.

    AFM after my good effort of taking a day off or two I have undone all the good today. Finally couldnt deal with the mess around the house anymore so whirl wind cleaning, I even vaccumed the blinds and the walls. Now I am very sore and tired. Oh and to add just another amount of pressure to the situation we are toilet training DS before the new baby gets here. LOL

    Congratulations Miss Magpie on the birth of Trent! Hope the probs with BFing settle down soon.

    Smithy - chuckled over your DTD story as well! All this DTD talk has reminded me how good it is these days!!! After 7 years of TTC sex it is great just to do it for fun!! I remember hearing other women talking about great sex and wondering what the fuss was...just seems we had forgotten!! I remember when it got really bad in those 7 years when DH and I had an argument mid-DTD over who's turn it was to be on top!!!!! Although I must admit now that the bump is starting to get in the way!!! Maybe we should start a thread on Bump Avoidance Positions!! LOL!!!

    Saph - enjoy your time off. The good thing about marking maths tests is there is either a right or wrong answer. I hated marking essays or reading tests...so much fudge room to deliberate over!!

    Bella - good luck with your natural methods of induction! Hope to hear news soon!

    I just wanted to pop in and say hi to all you lovely pregnant women!!!

    And a huge congrats to Miss M on the arrival of Trent!!!! Well done!!! I hear you on the BF'ing, I had major nipple damage and now expressing and botle feeding with formula top ups. Just do you best and what's best for you is not necessarily what's best for someone else, and do not beat yourself up.

    Miss m...I haven't been able to follow your whole story as have only recently joined in this forum...but CONGRATULATIONS...and wow!! you sound like wonderwoman!! I hope things start to fall into place routine wise with your wee Trent, and you get some well deserved rest.

    It's so nice to read stories about the 'outcome' as well as all the bits in between

    Smithy your camel story.....!! I know it's early, early days but I am so tired in bed at 8.30 most nights, napping during day etc... I knew poor DH had been soooo patient since half way through the IVF cycle....I also knew he was getting desperate, although he didn't say anything except compliment me A LOT! .... so I offered to 'help him' but not 'fully participate' He was happy

    AIRLINE... oh i no just how you feel hun i didnt let dh actually touch me until about a week ago i was just so scared of something happening so i would do the same and help him out with other things ,the good old tub of sorbalene cream and the hand does wonders but now im feeling like i want the real thing
    i just have to work out how im going to do it next time as my dh has a very big belly to (from beer lol) so just imagine 2 huge belly hitting each other theres a big gap in between us pmsl ...gotta get creative here i think
