Hello! Been a busy week, finally got 2 minutes to myself.

Great to see you back again MLS and so pleased that everything is going well and that K has worked out day and night, what a relief Grin Hope you work out the photos soon, I am desperate to see a photo!

Vjay like the sound of an Emmsy's virtual cocktail night, will let you know when. Wink Like you and blue I also take songs literally, we would make a great dancing troupe Hmm Well done on your cast iron will, turning down chocolate?Shock

louey Your GP sounds great, glad you got referred for an early scan. Hope you managed to get some sleep at work Wink Saw this book and thought of you and trying to get the right school for Isaac, it looks good.

4ever Loved the fact that you made seasonal purees with pumpkin and Sweet potato and that S was dressed as a pumpkin Grin Yay to sitting up unaided.

neeko Hope you manage to get your Dh to agree to starting the work, I am so impatient when I want something doing like that.

BQ In the nicest possible way, I am glad you are feeling rough Grin The symptoms must be keeping you hopeful and give you a bit less time for weebling.

cupcake How did the swimming lesson go? So cute, the image of J sitting up holding on to his feet.

Monkey hope this week has been a little easier, been thinking of you.

Right, better go start some cooking, DH out this evening so looking forward to having an early night.

BTW, anybody else watching the apprentice? I love it, though think he should have sacked all 3 last night. been watching the You're fired on BBC 2 afterwards too, love Dara O'Briain.

bakingqueen · 04/11/2010 15:10

Hello another quick post going to try to go out tonight for friends bday not sure how I will manage still feeling sick and very tired but then panic if I go an hour without feeling that way. Glad you got scan appointment louey but a bit Envy that you got a load of bumph and a free px thing I have got nothing so far hoping midwife will give me something next week on booking in appointment. Gotta go nausea back again

barbie1 · 04/11/2010 14:35

Hello hello...
I haven't had a minute to myself to be able to post but now dh is working late and D is all tuck up in bed and im free for a short while Smile

louey fab news about being referred for an early scan, what a nice doctor you have Smile you did make me giggle at your repetitive testing, i was the same....even did one at 27 weeks Blush Grin us, paranoid? never! ha ha

vjay at muff (you do know what muff means if you are a chav?!) footmuff is way way better Grin Good for you on the diet front. Im only just recovering from the buggy fit. I seriously couldnt even pick up dolly the next day, ouch!

mls lovely to see you back, the recent pics of K are just divine, S looks like such a proud big sis Glad your little miss is settling down and knows day from night...as for being a human dummy Biscuit im still one 8 months on!

bq hope you are holding up my lovely.....

neeko wow o wow at H, her sleeping is amazing! We have had a few crap night, coupled with a few good ones. Her top two teeth are just about to come through so im not being to harsh. That said she goes to bed at 6-6.30 with no fuss, will murmur about an hour later and will self settle. Last night i didnt get up straight away for her 11pm feed, she went for another 1.5 hours. Trying to do the same over the next few nights. Which will hopefully push the second feed back too (it will be awake time by then so not classed as a night feed) Naps are hit and miss, for some reason i cant let her cry in the day Hmm her first one is when she is due a feed so easier to put her down, the second is normally in the car as we are out and about....the third is just blah! Im liking the earlier to bed thing though Wink

Waves to everyone else, im not being rude but im going to make the most of my time off and have a lovely bath, body scrub and all other lovely girlie things to do...

Speak soon xxx

We went for a booster and seat belt Smile

loueytbg · 04/11/2010 11:54

Thank you vjay very helpful. Did you get the next stage car seat with a five point harness as well or did you go to a booster and seatbelt?

VJay · 04/11/2010 11:34

louey I had exactly the same problem with Cjay at the same age too, we got the thing you linked too (on the other thread) and it did work. It was a relief when he went into the next stage car seat because he never undid that one, maybe because he was a little bit older. Also we tried telling him the dangers but he just never got it at that age. Good luck xx

loueytbg · 04/11/2010 11:10

Vjay yay to tired Ajay - bless him folowing you around. I would love to sleep but its not going to happen.

Now off to post a message in SN about how to stop my houdini DS1 from getting out of his car seat. He has worked out not only how to wriggle out of his shoulder straps but can now undo his clasp. No sense whatsoever...

VJay · 04/11/2010 11:08

mls I don't know how to move your pictures over sorry, but barbie might, she taught me how to link stuff Grin, and yes footmuff does sound better Grin

neeko yukky sour satsumas, there's always one in the pack if not more, I'll be sending the sour ones down to you.

louey I will wisper incase you're asleep, yay to a lovely gp who didn't think twice about reffering you to EPU, now back to sleep lady Smile

Just finished the housework and Ajay followed me the whole time and tired himself out so is now fast asleep, bonus Grin

loueytbg · 04/11/2010 10:57

Morning, back from GPs Smile

Vjay big claps to you for resisting the choccies and I agree with neeko that satsumas are lovely. Am expecting major weight loss this week from you both as you have been such good girls Grin

Neeko yay to H!!!! And long may it continue Grin You are probably feeling more positive because you have had that much more sleep. It does help a little.....Well done on your xmas wrapping. I am getting a little excited already and DS2 is beside himself. He keeps asking whether its still November (he knows December is hte magic month). This morning he asked me if FC could find his wii dance game (which has mysteriously disappeared). No idea where he gets it from. Am thinking of doing some new traditions this year too, have been browsing the christmas section on here for inspiration. So far I have decided to get the book Twas the night before Christmas and read it to them on Christmas Eve.

4ever had peek at your latest pics of Summer and she is a little pumpkin munchkin Do love the pic of her reading too Smile

Barbie how is the sleep??

BQ Biscuit

Waves to everyone else, hope you are all ok!

GP has referred me to EPU for early scan - did not even blink when I asked. He filled the form out there and then, my mobile no is on it and it should be faxed today so hopefully next week I will get a call with an appt. Got all the bumpf that you get given and the form for free prescriptions. And got flu jab too.

I was supposed to have one yesterday at work and cancelled it when I found out I was pg as they previously said you shouldn't have it under 12 wks. Of course this year its all changed and they want all pg women to have it and pref the earlier the better. I know there were some awful stories of people last year getting flu and losing babies or being admitted to hospital in a very poorly state and I don't want to risk it. Last time I had flu I was very ill for 2wks. So GP said do you want it now, and I've killed 2 birds with one stone.

Now back to zzzz at my desk. Its a good job that I haven't got tons of work on at the moment, because I've not done a lot this week.

Neeko · 04/11/2010 09:17

Hi all.
Glad to hear that BQ and Louey are having lots of yucky symptoms to make for beautiful, healthy and sticky beans. Smile Hope you get your scan Louey and that you get your Ds's school sorted.

MLS Hello and Biscuit cos I talk to you all day!!

Cupcake Hope swimming went well.

Vjay Gold stars to us both this week and lets hope the scales reward us. Yum to satsumas. The sourer, the better for me. I don't know if it's because of the more stable sugar levels but I feel so much more positive this week.

Blue I'm in a Christmas frenzy! I've started writing cards and wrapping presents and M and I made 3 cards yesterday Shock I expect someone to thump me soon Grin How's the bumshuffler getting on?

Monkey really sorry I missed your b'day. Hope you had a lovely happy time.

Lovely pic of S 4ever

Barbie are you still making progress? last night was great here. 7pm-6am with ONE 20 MINUTE wakeup for milk! Grin and that was after 4 hours of nap yesterday. Sleep begets sleep! Smile

Sabshope work is becoming easier.

Mermaid How's the renovation coming? We're still looking into having our downstairs toliet and ensuite done. Lots of ££ which DH finds difficult Smile but it'll be worth it.

Hope everyone else is well. Sorry if I've missed anything.

MummysLittleSunbeams · 03/11/2010 20:27

Vjay how do you move your pics over then oh wise one? Sour satsumas....... yummy ! Grin Oh & I think the word you are looking for is footmuff! Grin

VJay · 03/11/2010 10:51

mls hello so pleased to see you Smile, you've lost your pictures because you've name changed, they'll be saved to your old name but I think you can move them over.

louey and bq big yay to feeling knackered and sick and just generally crappy and hormonal, it can only be good Grin

cupcake how did the swimming lessons go?

neeko you'll be so proud of me, dh sat with a big bar of chocolate last night and offered me some, I turned it down and had a sour satusuma instead Grin, I wonder how long I can keep this up for Hmm

Well I power walked to school this morning, but only because we were late, then lazily walked back and Ajay is still asleep all cosied up in his buggy and muff, (it is called a muff isn't it?).

loueytbg · 03/11/2010 09:03

MLS got a GP appt tomorrow. Will ask him to refer me to EPU. I phoned EPU yesterday to check their protocol and they said he just needs to fax through my details to them and then they would contact me. Hopefully should get a scan around 7wks. Don't worry, I'm going to stop testing now Grin Glad that DD1 is being so sweet Smile

MummysLittleSunbeams · 03/11/2010 08:46

Louey dd1 is being lovely to dd2, really gentle & cuddly. Sorry if you've already said this but are you going to be able to have a scan at 7 weeks? I remember those early days of constantly doing test upon test just to check the line etc, it's a real headf**k.

loueytbg · 03/11/2010 08:41

MLS please don't apologise - I think we all realise that you have just a little on your plate at the moment Wink. It is so lovely to hear from you and especially that DD2 has worked out that she needs to sleep at night. There is light at the end of the tunnel. LOL at her using you as a dummy. How is DD1 taking to her? Can't believe you were stalking my chart with all that going on!!!!

Cupcake how did Jude's first swimming lesson go?? Hope you got some good photos of his first dip.

Its very quiet on here, really hoping that all the babies have not reverted back to keeping their mummies up all night (neeko and barbie thinking of you in particular).

Iggy if you are lurking, big hugs for the lack of sleep you are getting with piglet at the moment.

Monkey hope your b'day went ok. Let us know how you are x

Tube strike today and I've decided to "work" from home. Would have to walk approx 40 mins each way for part of the journey and I'm so knackered already that I think it would just finish me off. Nausea has been pretty bad last couple of days. Did my last digi test last night and it said 3+ so hcg is definitely going up.

Right, back to sorting out Isaac's statement (still not done....)

MummysLittleSunbeams · 02/11/2010 21:44

Hello ladies so so SO sorry for going AWOL. Please don't think that now I've given birth I'm going to abandon you all - nothing could be further from the truth. You have all helped me through the darkest days of my life so I'm going nowhere & as one of you wise ones once said, we are all here until every last one of us has had a baby.

I've not been able to catch up properly, the lovely Neeko has been keeping me abreast of what has been going on.

Louey - YAY girl! Yes I did happen to peek at your chert the day you had your bfp & I sent Neeko a text in a fluster saying I didn't have time to check the thread & I didn't know if it was common knowledge or not!

LBM sorry little babybelle is poorly. I hope she is recovering well, give her a big kiss from me.

BQ phew, so relieved for you & in the nicest possible way, I'm glad you are feeling so sick! Smile

My girls are fine, thanks to everyone who's been asking. Dd2 Grin has been keeping me on my toes but touch wood she seems to have figured out her night from her day. She's also starting to settle in her moses basket at night (rather than in bed with me) - I just need to start getting her to space out the time between feeds & stop her using me as a dummy. Tomorrow my goal is to have 20 seconds spare in the morning (without a baby on my arms) to be able to weigh myself!

Has anybody else lost their pics on their profile?? I had loads on mine but suddenly they are not there.

Right off to bed as I'll be woken up for a feed in approx an hour & 15 mins.

cupcakefairy · 01/11/2010 22:14

Goodness, I feel so sad for Lily Allen :( can't imagine going through that in the media spotlight. Poor, poor girl :(

4ever love the new pics! Jude is also constantly blowing raspberries it's hilarious!! He can sit up for a few minutes if he's holding onto his feet too- so cute!

barbie Jude's sleep is a lt better thanks.. since doing pupd he goes off to sleep like a dream at bedtime. For naps we put on his musical light show cot thing that he stares at and then drifts off to sleep :) His wakings are still hit and miss- some night lots of wakings and lots of crying, some nights just one so hard to say really.

MLS hope you and your girls are doing ok. Is dh back at work?

We start swimming lessons tomorrow :) My dad is over for the day so is gonna take some piccies.

monkey hope you had a lovely day.
Lots of love to all x

loueytbg · 01/11/2010 21:06

Poor BQ hope you feel a bit more human soon. Just keep thinking that it means you have lots of hormones flying around which is only good.

bakingqueen · 01/11/2010 20:43

Hello sorry not been on been feeling really rough this week nausea and vomiting worse feeling totally wiped out back soon

VJay · 01/11/2010 17:45

Yay to spooks barbie I don't get it either sometimes, but still love it.

4ever those pictures are soooo gorgeous, I love the one of Summer reading, clever girl Grin

VJay · 01/11/2010 17:37

oh poor Lily Allen that is awful Sad

VJay · 01/11/2010 17:35

louey Cjay did enjoy Hallowe'en, he just went trick or treating round at our neighbours house, Ajay had no idea Grin

blue lol at a book to keep wee ones busy Smile. Loved your description of you dancing and doing the actions, me and my sis are the same Grin you should us dance to 'reach for the stars' by S club 7 Grin

Back in a mo...

loueytbg · 01/11/2010 16:55

Don't worry barbie had already heard about it on the radio. I feel absolutely wretched for her. Apparently she had a viral infection the week before, I wonder if that had anything to do with it.

Quick wave, back to work for me

barbie1 · 01/11/2010 16:10

louey and bq please forgive my stupidity for mentioning Lily Allen...i should of thought about it more before posting, you really dont need any more ammunition for feeling wobbly and there i go and put my bloody foot in it Blush sorry girls Sad

barbie1 · 01/11/2010 15:54

i cried too, poor girl...Lets hope that something good comes out of it (iyswim) like mc being taken seriously, and not swept under the carpet like the taboo subject it has been for too long.
I really didnt know whether to mention it at all, but if we cant talk about it who can?
