Just popping in!

Smithy - what a strong woman you must be....I cannot imagine what you have been through... I am glad you have finally found happiness. I can see just from the photos I have seen, that you and Coops share a strong and loving relationship and I can see what a caring, lovely gentle man he is from his eyes and the way he looks at you in your pics. I know I am basing this only on pics but I am glad you have found such a lovely relationship when you could have sooo easily given up hope because of your experience.

Loula - Welcome! I know what you mean about where you belong on threads. I joined my BB thread for my due date and as much as they were lovely ladies I just felt I belonged here more with ladies who understood the anxiety of a LTTC pregnancy. I would lurk in my BB thread because I was interested in their progress but I never posted. Just felt more at home here...

LM - so let me guess....is your surname Price, Marsh, Rooney or Cole? I know some would disagree with me about the last two but anyway!!!!

Everyone else belly rubs!

AFM - Got a few minutes free from a hungry bub wanting booby as he is out with his daddy dogwalking. Progress has been made because we are now feeding hourly instead of every flipping minute!!! Still dodgy on the attachment (attaches pretty well on his favourite boob but hopeless on the other!) One nurse at the hospital (when he was getting his thyroid blood test....hell time!!)reckons he might have a slight tongue tie. I am going to the antenatal class graduates show off session today so I will get the midwife to have a look.
Have started co-sleeping ( don't tell anyone LOL!!!) so we are getting tons of sleep at night. I guessed it wasn't worth the stress of putting him in and out of the moses basket throughout the night. We plan to get a bedside cot (using a guard rail on our bed at the moment) and then gradually move him into that and then move the cot away from our bed. I figure he is just not ready to self settle yet. Four weeks ago he was being fed and held 24 hours a day...I don't believe he should be going off that cold turkey. Little by little is ok with me.
