Next time...

She's done it already!!! Too slow....phew!

new post ... click here!

Oh - x-posted there. HKZ please do it

Now that looks terrible - please jump before everyone sees it!

I vote you do it Pat - all you have to do is go into the post-natal topic and create a new thread and then link us to it. Easy peasy. Then you get the pleasure of seeing your post at the top of every page for the next couple of months! Go on, you know you want to...

Right , I'll attempt to do it...hold on a mo....I am busy procrastinating..too much work to do...

Err, is somebody (better than me who knows what they are doing) starting a new thread?? HKZ, what was that title?

x-posts Eppm, have a great day at Legoland. I loved it and I'm sure your DD will to .

Know what you mean moose I keep coming across those, isn't it time to call it a day comments/looks. People do forget that essentially we are mammals and nobody has told babies about all the pressures/culture of the modern world. They just want to be fed don't they!!!

Gosh, all these boys are large and porky aren't they! Zach is getting on well with the doidy cup, although only likes to hold one handle so I do help a bit. He aslo goes CRAZY when one of us has a drink, bit scared to have a cup of tea in front of him at the moment actually!

Lenni Hope the pupil thing is fine, sounds like its better to check but you are probably right and its just an oddity. Went to Dick Whittington farm park in the forest of Dean. A nice place with lots of animals etc and good soft-play. DD enjoyed the soft-play then clearly had no energy. Didn't eat much lunch or have any dinner to speak of. It's her sports day tomorrow so I really hope she is well enough to go. Come to think of it 2 of the boy babies there today were also bruisers, 91st and 98th percentile I think .

Re hand painting. My SIL used to be a childminder, she got all the children in her charge to do their prints on a massive piece of lining paper then when it was full they somehow had it transferred onto a huge canvas. Its amazing, always makes my eyes well up when I see it. (Mind you I'm the soppy old bird that was crying my eyes out whilst reading the birth stories in Mother and Baby magazine yesterday! )

Am a bit with my Mum today. I haven't been too well this week and today was right off my feet, really exhausted and achey so she says "isn't it about time you stopped breastfeeding dd now - you've done your bit and its obviously too much for you"!!!!! Personally, I am not finding the feeding a problem and was thinking of trying to keep it up until she is one (had a few disapproving faces and noises made about that when we were at PILs at the weekend as well.) What's wrong with people, it seems that bf beyond 6 months is frowned upon and seen as self indulgent these days - its all just so twisted when natural childrearing is seen as unnatural fgs.
