Ash - I agree 100% with Tan. I think its fantastic you and DH are trying to work it out and I wish you all the luck in the world. BUT your mental and emotional state is just as important (maybe more so) than Blake's - if his mummy's not happy, he'll pick up on it, so make sure you're happy. Looking after yourself is not selfishness, its being a good mummy! I really hope you guys can work it out. And if Shell isn't interested in your WC nappy, I might be. From everything I've heard, they're a great night nappy but so blo*dy expensive I think DH would do his nut completely if I went and bought a brand new one after all the others I've just bought!

Michelle - glad the movie was good and what a good little man Angus was for sleeping the whole time! We're going to carols by candlelight tonight (DH's dad is in the choir) so I'll have to tell Izzy she has to be as good as Angus! Good luck with your shopping - I usually love Christmas shopping but this year with Izzy and pregnancy its really been a pain. And that's a gorgeous photo of Angus and your girls - you're a very lucky mummy.

Sarah - that is good that your MIL is so much help. I think I've made it hard for myself over the years by not letting anyone help me do anything (very stupid I know) cos now even my Mum won't offer to do anything (I know she would do anything I asked her to do, I just can't bring myself to ask. Stupid stubborn cow that I am. I now have 22 MCNs (no, I have no idea how that happened!!) although a couple of them really aren't good on Izzy. I think you need more for a newborn and I've probably got a couple too many for Iz (shhh) so we'll see how it goes.

Well, Iz has finally gone down after a very grumpy morning so I'm off to make some white chocolate and macadamia cookies to take tonight with us - that's if DH doesn't eat them all first!!
