hi again
clare woo hoo on the ttc, it feels good just to know when doesnt it! so gorgeous your dh is so keen - and cute names too, i esp like willow and nico. i think rocco reminds me too much of a dodgy guy i snogged back when i was 17, but thats another story!! wow leila in the big kids room, man they are growing up! i dont think N could go in there yet - he still isnt walking so would get stomped all over... he is being so gorgeous now - a total chatterbox, it kind of freaks me out the things he says - points at everything now and says 'whadis' - ie what's this? and whadat (whats that) - asks for 'bottled water' - the snob! and copies evrything we say all the time - learns about 5 words a day. he has the same word for noodle and doodle which amused us no end when we went out for chinese!!!
thanks for asking re the tonsilitis - it seems to be starting to get a bit better now, but has been an awful few weeks. mum came to the cpast for a few days and made me a big batch of chicken soup which helped!!! drugs would have been better LOL!
kate - when i weaned N from night time feeding that was the hardest bit for me. i ended up bfeeding him before bed and then not til morning - kind of 'cold turkey' - get rory to do the bulk of settling at night for the next week or so til she is used to it? i found getting the day sleeps without feeding a bit easier - i still cuddle him to sleep at every sleep (or dh does) and we have only just started to try to get him down awake and pat him to sleep. once he was weaned i think his nights got a bit better... but he was waking many times until rcently. the last 2 weeks he has been very good - mainly sleeping through from about 7.30 to about 5 or 6.
MM i have been thinking so much of your ILs and their baby. i am still in shock about it. i read what you wrote to DH and he was so upset and also keeps mentioning it. when is the wedding again? i think it sounds good what you did re the gift cards, it is so hard isnt it!
had my 12 wk scan when we were away - so exciting!! baby was not moving much at 1st (hmm like his/her brother) but then woke up and wriggled around like mad. it feels a lot more real now!!
