Just jumped on mum's dodgy laptop to say hi girls!
Hope you and your lo's are all well? Been trying to catch up on everything but too much to read while watching One Born Every Minute, drink tea and eat chocolate!
Surviving the helpful 'advice' up to now and trying to ignore the bizarre comments eg
Stepdad on Freddie's reflux ' you know what his problem is? He feeds too fast' errrrrrm he's breastfed I can't ask him to slow down!
My mum on breastfeeding 'I don't care what anyone says I think breastfeeding's hard work' no sh1t sherlock!!!!
Stepdad on Freddie's nightly waking 'you could do with dropping one of those feeds' grrrrrrrrr he was sleeping from 830 til 5 until last week when he started waking earlier each night - settling on 130 waking and again between 4 and 5. So, have spoken to his sister (she's a HV) and she said he sounded hungry and in her professional role she wouldn't be able to say to try baby rice but as a family member she said to try him. SO we did and he loved it! And he went back to sleeping from 830 til 5 on the first night - fingers crossed for tonight.
Well done if you're still reading!
One last piece of news - OH is on nights which is why Freddie and I are in Wales, anyhoo wasn't looking forward to my birthday as we were gonna be apart but he drove 200 miles after a 12 hour night shift to see me and the best bit - HE PROPOSED!!!! I'm gonna be a Mrs!!! Not allowed to announce it yet as OH can't get hold of his 15 year old son to tell him. Want to scream it from the rooftops and can't
but I figured I can tell you lot cos you're not likely to bump into his son
Right best go, mum's wanting her laptop back
Big hugs to you and your lo's
Welsh xx
