Ok, first thing's first...I'm having breakfast, and there's not a boy in sight to spill it all over! DP didn't go to work today (and didn't call in, as far as I can tell, but that's another story...), so I changed Oscar's bum, got him into a 'today' outfit and gave him back to his daddy so that I could have brekky.
Now, Welcome Mel! Guess what? Yours and mine were born the same day And we also share that date with Nathan, who's Our 7th Heaven's (Dee) boy.
Great avatar, Rory! I was only toying with the idea of membership the other day...
Oscar had a funny night. He woke up twice agitated, after taking a bit to get to sleep (so rare these days) and he was clammy and very wriggly. I think it might have been just wind, but because he was so clammy (and he wasn't covered by much) and upset (not screaming, but whimpering between some squeals) I gave him some infant paracetamol. Dont' know if it worked if his insides worked themselves out, but he slept from about 2 till 6 before having a quiet feed and falling straight back to sleep (in fact, I doubt he even woke for that!). So, at about 10 he fed again, started to wriggle and Kapow! BIG poo and he's been content ever since. DP's taken him outside cos he was probably getting bored of being in bed - he was happily chirping and squealing away with DP and then it started to become shrieking.
SW - you may have something there with the childhood nostalgia thing. I don't know, I still spent most of Phantom Menace wondering when Hayden Christensen was going to stop reading the autocue and start acting, and I haven't seen the Revenge of the Sith yet for fear of the same.
got the boy back now...
