Christy - we have no rain, so i can't blame that! but we dry our nappies indoors on a clothes horse, with a pedestal fan blowing onto it, works really well.

Bilby (with eyes shut) tries to latch onto my belly button to feed when she's really tired, so funny. I mean, a belly button and a nipple - so similar - NOT!

Crawling IN the cot? interesting! bilby just won't GO in the cot without lots of blood curdling screams.

Ann - what a kick in the pants to have your mum tell you that rubbish about Ella! Hugs to you hon. ANd all the childcare upset you're going thru, gee that sounds tough. I like TaraLee's idea of the laminated pic of you and her dad inside the backpack, for comfort value.

Blanche, i love that name Jaxon, cool. My preggo navel made me cringe too, just seemed so WRONG for it to be inside out for the first time ever!!! and it felt SOOOO sensitive, i hated bumping it on cupboards by accident.

DH brought home Valentine's Day flowers for me tonight, gorgy red and purple blooms in a bouquet. He said he didn't want to settle for little choice on Thursday, when all the florists are short cos V Day is so crazy. I was blown away. (This is the same dh who DIDN"T bring me flowers when i had bilby in awful circumstances and she almost died).

Vicky, never heard of Indigo and Crystal kids.
