Half watching the Brownlow medal here... Go Scotty West!

IK: Good to hear re: dinner And you might notice your DP become slightly more involved in Oscar's daily nuturing as he becomes more responsive. Men are like that, they prefer acknowledgement and newborns just don't provide that... but things will start to change now that our little cherubs hit the 3 month mark which is when they learn how to charm their way into our hearts... have you all noticed how our babies are giving anyone who passes by the hugest smile, twinkling eyes and all? I reckon it's a primitive strategy to get us to lift them up! Enjoy it while it lasts because by the time they hit 6 months they start to become a little more suspicious and clingy... they begin to cry when they are passed to an unknown person etc.... well that's just been my experience... might not always be the case.

Oh, and also that's first class advice there chicky (IK) regarding facing your demons and avoiding denial. The stress will seep out no matter how hard you try to keep it inside. I also believe in a physiological response to locked up stress like that... sometimes it manifests as disease. Not wanting to frighten you KL... just reinforcing IK's suggestion that you consider Tee in the scheme of things... you don't want her having a sick mummy down the track... and yes! You do need to show her that it's important to seek help and share issues like this.

I need to slouch on the couch with my DH now... after I rub some of that MooGoo into his scalp

ETA: sorry I missed your post Ali: yep! smells delish... DH won't mind how it smells... he'd probably let me rub MooPoo into his head as he loves scalp massages so much! LOL
