I wont even try to go through everything i have missed will just jump in now..
Clare - WTG on the op, it will be so good that you have it sorted and you can get on with things. you poor thing you really have been unwell lately.
Cally - poor poor Katie and you guys... she looks so sweet with the sling but it must break your heart.. poor little thing. it sounds like she is coping amazingly well... how did this happen?
Rainy - hugs. i am already anticipating that guilt and those feelings. no advice.. i am not sure how I will deal with it myself so will be looking to you for advice (i thought the one bottle was a good idea, but he is too cluey for that - maybe keep trying?). or DH could take him out for a long walk at that time and you can bath and spend time with L?
