tell me bout it! Chloe came to kiss me today and i was like 'woah your face is huge!' so used to snuggling ellie coz chloe fights cuddles at the mo. and she is suddenly solid, feels like twice as heavy, whether thats coz i've been holding a baby... everyone is saying so though.
i think she's finally catching up, although she's hardly eaten anything today.
she's stringing words together. she says 'all gone' and 'no more' and 'no enough' and the cutest one, i asked her to magic kiss ellie (kiss on the hand) because she was trying to take the baby from me (she thinks she can pick her up!), and she started uncurling all of her fingers and suddenly tickled up her arm going 'weeeeeee home', she was playing little piggies!

"The body faught to survive, it evacuated toxins in any way it knew how. It made clots to stop the bleeding.Bones would find the quickest ways to heal themselves. It made scar tissue. In the face of violence towards it, it would become violent. It was amazing, yet excruciating. "
thanks everyone!
chloe got her first open cup today. £1 from morrisons with pics of bambi and thumper on it. she loved it, tipped it all down her... but good fun.

Last night, my boobs started leaking (so hormones) and all of a sudden, my depression started to lift. My all consuming, suicidal, big big big big hazy cloud of depression! I feel much better today. I'm still not myself, but I no longer want to die so badly. Getting up and doing things isn't so difficult today.
hormones can hit again, as well as tiredness, just be easy on yourself. it's natural and allowed to feel bad, just keep talking and you'll get through this pregnancy!
love you x

Ella's got a goopy eye. been bathing it in boiled water, but it got worse, so rang the birth centre and midwife said to try a cup of boiled water with a 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of bicarb. couldn't get any bicarb, but am giving the salt a try. i sterilised one of chloe's food pots to keep it in and just tipping a bit out each time to use so i don't contaminate the lot.

I was going to get a second hand Phil and Teds... but then I was on ebay and I found this and the colour is VERY cool and the cosy toes look lovely and snuggly! I'm waiting to see how far the seats recline, before I spend more money and buy a carrycot.
i still want to buy the hauk pushchair but can't sell my old one
ellie has oral thrush, i dunno how, i sterilise everything, use alcohol gel on my hands, wash everything meticulously...
