The male perspective

I read this article on Guardian online today and I think it's a really good insight into how a man feels about miscarriages and trying for a second baby. Definitely worth a read and explains really well how I feel my husband reacted to my grief by ignoring his.

Wordless Wednesday - fun with water

Confirmed

Baby_T is definitely allergic to both egg whites (very allergic) and egg yolks. Does anyone have any tips for dealing with this kind of allergy?

Also recipies for eggless cakes etc.

He will still have his MMR vaccination but since it is made in eggs he will have it at hospital so if there is a reaction he can be treated immediately.

Guaranteed to jinx things

T slept through the last 2 nights! From 6.30pm-7am on Saturday night and 7pm-5.50am last night. A little later in the morning than today would be good but I have to get up at 6.30 for work anyway and we had some lovely cuddles this morning before getting up.

I can't decide if he his teething again or still has a cold that he passed on to me but he seems to be very hot, because of this he's had calpol before bed the last couple of nights so I hope that's not the reason he slept through.

Oh and I finally managed to capture this on camera (sorry that it's sideways)...

Unfortunately and and update

I spotted this at Niobe's place and thought it would be fun, it's another one of those google things. I googled "Unfortunately, Caro" and this is what turned up:

Unfortunately, Caro's interview appears to have been lost

Unfortunately, Caro's one-hundred-page effort ...

Unfortunately, Caro and screenwriter Michael Seitzman (who wrote the drippy teen tearjerker Here on Earth) are never able to elevate North Country beyond ...

Unfortunately, Caro became something of a folk hero in Mexico

unfortunately Caro is far away and with other musers right now so that might be a bit awkward too

Unfortunately Caro does not cover the country's pre-historic sites of interest

Unfortunately, CARO is not an official standard-setting body

Unfortunately, Caro doesn't fare as well

Unfortunately, Caro had reckoned without two things

Also it seems like I'm not the only one trying to sort out sleeping/milk drinking issues at the moment Serenity, Cibele, Elizabeth and Ms Planner have all blogged about similar stuff recently so I'll be avidly reading how they get on.

As for baby T he is coping without the middle of the night feed but still wakes (at least) once during the night. Last night I was able to settle him back to sleep without him having screaming ab-dabs and grabbing for my boobs so that's definitely progress. It means I can share the burdon with S who is very tired after a week of being in charge at night (insert slightly snarky comment about me getting up at least once a night for the last 13 months). Next step will involve T not having to come into the big bed and less screaming (I hope).

Finally thanks to Mel for the mention in the lost and found, I will get around to blogging about the new job soon...
