Tarkine - Glad you like the pram! Would be horrible if it was not user friendly after waiting all this time. I don't think you sound too out there! We talk to each others babies in my mothers group. I was worried about everyone already knowing everyone as well but there only seem to be a few prior connections in my group. I guess the babies are what we all have in common at this stage. Your situation sounds like they already have heaps in common - that will be hard to break down, people tend not to put effort into developing new friendships when they already have friends that don't require any effort IYKWIM?
Shell - I might go and read your dummy thread. If DS doesn't have the dummy, he just puts his fingers in his mouth and slurps on them Not sure I want him doing that either. Meant to say before that I'm glad you've got the feeding routine sorted out and that both you and Em seem happier as a result.
Holly - That's great you've got some treatment for L but it sounds tricky to administer! How long does he have to be on 7ml for?
Ali - so sorry you're having a rough time with sleep atm. It seems to be the age for it! Hope the window shopping this arv helps Ashlyn get some sleep!
Pinny - 480g a week is awesome!! Lewis sounds like he is doing well - yay for 6 hour blocks overnight. DS has stopped his 6 hour blocks, I'm hoping that it's just a phase!
OP - Have fun at the party tomorrow! Hopefully there will be enough going on to distract Isabel from feeling cranky. DS just rubbernecks everything when we're out and about and he forgets to crack it.

Hi to everyone else!

AFM - Bad news about my dog. The x-rays showed there is almost definintely another mass growing in and around her liver. Its not as clear as the last time so doesn't look operable. We've decided not to have her opened up to check because if it is in-operable, then the kindest thing would be to not let her wake up and have to go through surgery recovery on top of the tumour. There would be limits to how much more of her liver they could remove anyway. The plan is to feed her lots (which she'll love!) and make sure she still has a decent quality of life. They can't tell us how much longer she has because all these different things may or may not happen as a result of the tumour. Feeling really blah atm.
