So we have two teeth and possibly some more coming through. Have tried Ashton and Parson powders and so far am really impressed with them. Monty takes them no problem and they seem to calm him down straight away. He is still only one lot of solids per day - that's at lunchtime. He tends to have leftovers from our dinner the night before, amended so that it's baby-friendly, e.g. I'll not put any stock or salt in his food, and so far I haven't tried him with hot spices, although he has had less hot spice such as cumin, plus garlic and various herbs. His poos are still squidgy and paste-like - definitely not grown-up poo but also not newborn poo either. He is BF less during the day this past week ... but unfortunately he's trying to make up for it at night ... so last night we woke for a feed three times! However, we hung up some blackout fabric last night in the hope that it would at least mean he'd sleep in slightly later, and lo and behold he didn't wake for the day until 7am, which is a vast improvement on the 5.30am wakeup he'd been doing for us. So, although I was up three times in the night feeding, I don't feel too bad at all, as I feel like I had a lie-in, LOL. Gosh, remember the days when 7am felt early? Ha, don't suppose we'll feel like that again for a few years now!
Things with OH have improved big time and also his health seems to be on the up, touch wood, fingers crossed, black cats, no ladders, etc.
I've been quiet this week as I've been catching up with work and loads of admin, with a view to getting all our stuff sorted out so then we can start doing just a couple of admin things each week, rather than loads of them in one go. After our various illnesses over the past couple of months, all the paperwork got out of hand, so it feels good to be sorting stuff out again.
On to the rest of you ...
Kte, I am not sure of your situ now as I haven't read all the posts on here, but I get the impression it's just you and Chloe now. If so, I send you lots of
and hope that you're feeling OK about things.
Maffie, hope first tri is still going good for you. Is your OH pleased too?
Chaos, hope your little cutie is OK after her tumble. Somebody said to me the other day that almost all parents have baby falling from a height at some point ... but almost all of them only ever do it once! A girl from my postnatal group had a very scary experience - her baby was in her bouncy chair on the kitchen worktop (I know! don't even say it!) and managed to bounce off the worktop and on to the tiled floor
Fortunately baby was absolutely fine, but even so I should think mum and dad were terrified at the time.
LK, not heard from you in a while. Hope your new job and new man are both good.
Flora, how's the post-honeymoon period? Are you still loved up, or has life settled down again now?
Mellie, think it's lovely that you want to be a MW. I have thought about doing this too. The prob with me is that it would mean doing a second degree, so I'd have to pay for the whole thing. Also, I wonder is it possible to be a MW but not work nightshifts? After many years of telling OH that I hated him working shifts, I am not now in a position to start doing them myself, LOL.
Kaites, hope you're still loving BLW. I hope you and DH start to get some time together soon - it's hard when your other half works all hours. I've been there myself (although not since we had a baby), and I know it can be tough.
So, who have I missed out? Big apols if I've missed anything hugely important.
Oh, forgot to say we went to our village parents and tots group for the first time. It was good. I can't tell you how scared I was of going! For some reason I've been pretty good at going to all sorts of groups outside of our village, but going to the one group in our own village terrified me. God knows why?! Anyway, everyone was really friendly, and once I got in there I realised that actually I know almost everyone that goes anyway - well, know them to say hello to, even if not to actually be friends with, if you see what I mean. We'll be going again soon anyway.
Also looking into doing a baby signing class. But blimey, I can't believe how popular these are and how booked up in advance they get. Clearly there's a market there for a few enterprising people!
That's it from me for now xx
Definitely makes you more vigilant though, lol. Hope Autumn enjoyed hanging with her boyfriends today 
. Soooo we've only just got them both into bed, DD is still chatting away to herself up there 
, Theo sounds like he is asleep though! 
DD never ate that much, but she was probably half the size of him...Theo now weighs 19lb!
...its always little tiny poo's and theyre pretty solid? I thought he would still have mushy poo's? 
...let me tell you though, it just gets worse and worse, DD is always falling over etc....they spring back pretty quick though after a magic mummy kiss!! 
have a nice evening all.
