[mustrunmore]

i just saw this, and though 'Feb 06, that sounds familiar' but thought ds2 was born 2007

[FlameBat]

[damewashalot]

just reading stats, did boy not get a name? Sure I must have read it at the time but he is still boy on the list and I haven't a clue

Are you feeling better today flame? I've got hormones, boys were watching the incredible journey and I caught the end, had to remove myself as was sobbing and didn't want them to notice

So frizbe, where's this shop of yours anyway?

Hello everyone else, brain leaks sso can't remember what else I read.

OOhh nearly forgot

[CantSleepWontSleep]

Just adding. Boy has a name, but is remaining incognito on here .

[FlameBat]

Leon, but it seemed wrong to call him anything other than Boy (I am always torn between changing Bram to Brambles too)

How you doing Dame?

Hormones a smidge better today, DS clung to me so tight at nursery that I put my arms out to the sides and he still stayed stuck to my chest

Still broody

[damewashalot]

That's good as I really though I was losing it more so than usual

[FlameBat]

Oops - was I not meant to name him??

[damewashalot]

Oh yes, I did know

Go on flame you know you want to

Sorry I'n no help am I?

I'm ok, might go talk to dr tomorrow as still kind of spotting a little on and off.

[Jas]

Is it too early to go and get a scan? I went to the epu both times. I know with dd1 it was 1 weeks, but only about 7 or 8 with ds, ad they still found me a heartbeat.

I don't mind you naming him Flame. Any one who really wanted to know could do a search and find out as he is amed on the olde stats any way, but I wasn't happy with him being named on every months thread forever more iyswim.
He is still Boy to me quite alot, too

Aother busy day here. Hopefully I'll be back this evening after Brownies.

[FlameBat]

Ah yes, that was it

[damewashalot]

I'm 6+1 so maybe a little early for a scan.

[mustrunmore]

And he's such a boy! Beautiful, but a very boy-stocky physique

Am very happy today, as ds1's friends Mum has agreed to do a joint party for the soft play, so I only have to pay half the cost! Hurray! Its basically everything except a birthday cake and a coffee for the adults. The party bags only have a lolly and a bit of the cake. But the kids get to choose a big toy on the way out, from a selection, and the birthday kids will choose 2 each. They're still plsatic crap, but a wide range to choose from, and far more substantial than the bits you get for bags (but we can bring stuff to add to the bags if we want!!) And they get 1.5hrs play, plus their food.

Got my friend to give me a big box to post something I sold on here. But now I need another one All the shops here only seem to have small boxes!

[CantSleepWontSleep]

How big a box do you need? I have a large one that I was going to stuff stuff in for the loft, but you can have it if you want instead. It is rather big though - had a food processor in it. 34cmx44cmx55cm to save us interpreting 'big' differently .

[CantSleepWontSleep]

Dame - ask for 2 blood tests to be done 48 hours apart to measure hcg levels - they should double over this time (roughly) if all is well, and saves the worry of not seeing a heartbeat on a scan because it's too early (7 weeks is normally earliest they will look for heartbeat).

[CountessPHOENIXula]

Just on quick so i don't lose this for later

[FlameBat]

Yup bloodtests sound best.

I have GIANT boxes, but methinks squishing one and posting would be odd

Yay for party sharing and free plastic tat

[mustrunmore]

csws; 'big' means big enough to put a Smoby car in! The sort with the parent handle. I doubt your food processor was that big. Although you never know with the csws household!

[FlameBat]

pmsl - My mate got the wrong end of the stick - asked him for what he would want from the grand opening of the shop, he thought I was asking what he would want from the shop itself!

Here is his reply Friz - dunno if it helps with stock

Gaming - i have no idea, as its a tad too geeky for my liking.

Comics - oooooh, I gofor a bit of a mix. Up to date 'Graphic Novels', hardcovers are always desireable, as well as back catalogue trade editions.
Back issues and up to date monthly titles, obviously with a bit of collectors items like rare editions, Golden Age and Silver Age books will get the geeks with spare cash lying around.

You can't beat a good action figure, model (I think they're called 'busts'?) and cult DVD selection and some retro items either.

The Midtown Comics store in New York is my idea of comic heaven so it may be worth taking alook at their website.

I reckon I spend anywhere between £30-100 per month at Paradox and I'm by no means a big spender (there's just not much catching my eye at present) but some of the smelly weirdo comic blokes spend the upper end of that in a week.

Of course he can't go wrong by stocking Daredevil, Preacher, The Walking Dead, Queen & Country and anything by Brian Micheal Bendis, Andi Watson, Jeph Loeb, Tim Sale, Frank Miller, Garh Ennis, Humberto Ramos and Alex Ross.

Phew, reckon that about does me!

[FlameBat]

Oh, and my little dude is walking round in pants

He is fighting for nappy changes, I don't mind puddles, but little piles of poo I hate - Psycho gave me a load of Psychoboy2's small pants today (he has a bum smaller than I have ever seen), so DS is now wandering round happily wearing those.

Before I put em on him though he yelled for his nappy to be off, grabbed his boy bits, and then promptly pee'd on his feet Please don't tell me that the one of us who is a nappy addict is going to be the one who is out of em first

[CountessPHOENIXula]

I bought pants for Lewis on Sunday too Flame. I wasn't gonna mention it incase anyone thought i was mad

He doesn't really mind nappy changes, the reason i bought them was, at my mums the other day he was walking around nappy-less and kept crossing his legs every now and again like he needed a wee but everytime we asked if he wanted one he shook his head but when my mum put his nappy on a while later she felt the front of the nappy get warm like he'd done a wee straight away, so i'm thinking if he knows he needs a wee he may start using his potty.

I'm gonna give his quilt another go tonight cos he did go to sleep straight away under it when he first went to bed.

[Frizombie]

Thought I was getting off lightly, you've done a new thread good title!

Jas, just you wait, till he starts fetching things to stand on Glad he's bounced ok for you though.

MRM you are not fat!!! PMSL re 2007

Flame, bless him! totally the wrong end of the stick, but nice to know we seem to agree on what to stock you should wave our website at him, when we're underway properly

Dame, go to dr's tomorrow, blood tests sound like a great idea The shop's in Ripley, Derbyshire

Phoenix, dd2 sleeps ok with her duvet now, although more on top of it, than under it? I often pop in at 11pmish and stick her back under it. Dd1 sleeps on top too, always has, I have a fleece blanket which I chuck over here later on at night too!

New game here from dd2, its called climbing up the sofa, then rolling commando style off the back of it naughty step for her, next time she tries that one.....

So we open tomorrow, at 10am, initially without broadband in the shop, as can't run it until I get another wireless key sorted out, tempted to take it out of my machine here, but then think if I loose it or summat happens to it, I won't be able to talk to you all here!

Thanks to all who gave ideas on the opening, we're postponing the grandopening until last sat of Nov, as gives us more time to publicise, and it was the 1st weekend I could get a friend of ours to do caracitures (SP) in the shop! now to blag a few more freebies and people......

[mustrunmore]

But Friz, you havent seen me naked (Er, sad about how I look , not sad that you havent seen me withno clothes on )

Ds2 has twice gone to the bathroom to wee on the floor when he's had nappy off time. Ah bless!

I'm getting really worried about his lack of speech, and all sorts of things he does now are setting off alarnms that he's not quite right somehow. Was talknig to my friend today, and she said firstly that she agreed I should get him checked out ,and secondly that dh has the same concerns(but told her not me) What do you think Jas; how did he seem to you the other day, honestly?

[CantSleepWontSleep]

mrm - I honestly think that ds2 seems perfectly normal. He talks as much as some of dd's RL friends of the same age, and is, well, just normal. What worries you apart from his speech?

[mustrunmore]

Well, I dont know. Every now and again he does something that seems odd when you take them all as a whole. He just seems a bit cute but vacant sometimes, he's only just got the hang of moving on a ride on toy, sort of,he toe steps alot, he has no concept of bein gtold off. There's more things too, but I cant think off the top of my head.

Can you bring any boxe syou have? I've wrapped the car up like a sausage but need to seal the ends!!

[CantSleepWontSleep]

lol at sausage parcel.

Should they have any concept of being told off at this age? Dd just repeats 'naughty' (sometimes beating me to it!), or screams and fights against her reprimand, or runs off. I'm not sure that that counts as understanding that what she's done is wrong!
Moving forwards or backwards on ride on? Am quite certain that some of dd's friends don't go forwards yet. In fact some (ok, one) of her friends don't quite walk yet, but that doesn't make them 'odd'.
I think that the problem is more likely that you've got used to hanging around children closer to ds1's age, and you therefore expect ds2 to be more like he is. And then you go and compare him to people like Kipper, who is more 'advanced' than most of their age, and you get it into your head that your ds is lagging behind, when that really isn't the case.
