Hi pixie.. Yes you do need a masters to put it together and then a diploma to bloody use it!! lol yes it has one of those suction thingy's i did think about taking it off- i am giving it a break for now and trying not to stress about it all.. will make another attempt soon!!!
Shane has also had a fair bit of dry skin- i have been using the johnsons baby sorbelene-and also some innoxa baby massage oil- which i have found works better.

Squidipa.. Sorry to hear thinga are getting abit too much and that your not getting much helpfull support!! I hear you- my hubby goes through stages of being exactly how you describe one minute- to being the perfect man the next!! i am getting a fair amount of support- but yes some days its like i get into to trouble for breathing or having a differing opinion to him about ANYTHING!! I will say that he is pretty good come going out time- he knows we need the baby bag 9and that it needs to be stocked) and blankies and that Shane needs to be fed and changed and dressed before we go- all which can take up to an hour- and he then he also knows somewhere in that time I need to get ready- so he needs to be able to watch Shane while i shower dress etc- so i am pretty lucky - although sometimes this procedure is done nicely- other times its done with us both making short nasty comments to eachother as we rush around in a mad panic!! lol I havent had to face getting ready on my own yet- scary thought really....

I think emotions and hormones all run pretty wild about now- adjusting to everything and getting used to a new person tends to make everyone a bit strung out- especially us ladies who are doing the majority of night feeding duties etc- and when we loose our patience- it rubs off on our men- (so i found out recently re- my mini pill episode- when i went crazy-) it made me highly irrational and hence dealing with dh i was short tempered and cranky- which rubbed on off him- once i calmed down again- DH followed suit and things have been dramatically different these last two days!! We are both smiling again!!

Speaking of which we are about to set out now- and i am using my shower time to post- so i better hop to it before i loose my window of oppotunity!! lol

Take care all
SB
