About time I start a thread! Pom poms still shaking, bumps growing, babies and toddlers talk a plenty, while the support, laughs, hand holds and weebling continues...

Night night. Don't roll over or you'll fall out the bed!
I'm still waiting on DH coming home from work. He left at 7am. This will be the 4th time this week. M asked why her daddy doesn't want to come home anymore, bless her...

VJayazzle · 05/04/2012 22:17

VJayazzle · 05/04/2012 22:13

Weight loss mainly. I'm fat and fed up so looking for inspiration. I look at good housekeeping sometimes, but you'll find me in chat mainly or sn or allergies or student parents Grin

Neeko · 05/04/2012 22:10

hee hee. What you browsing? I've become addicted to the style and beauty and housekeeping threads.

VJayazzle · 05/04/2012 22:03

WOW congrats gracie! That sounds quite dramatic! I was just thinking of you this morning. Welcome little Matthew :) ooh I sort of hope mine comes a bit early (but not that quickly!) ..but I highly doubt it will happen!
Hope you're feeling ok & enjoying the first few days :)

VJayazzle · 05/04/2012 21:59

GracieGirl · 05/04/2012 20:56

Just thought I'd pop in to say hello to everyone. I hope everyone's doing ok, I'm sorry I've been AWOL for a while.

Anyhow, I have a 2 day old DS!!! GrinGrinGrin. He's just lovely. He's not due till 17th April but obviously no one told him that and he arrived very very quickly in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Not much of a birth story,it happened all a bit quick! I had a few contractions and By the time my parents arrived (10 mins away) to babysit DD they were every minute. I had a scary 5 min car journey to hospital and got the urge to push in the car park! Managed not to push and baby caught by midwife shortly after getting inside maternity unit.
He was 8lb exactly, born at 5:52am on 3rd April. We've called him Matthew James.Smile

GracieGirl · 05/04/2012 20:47

Evening! Knock knock.! Can I come in? Blush

cupcakefairy · 05/04/2012 18:09

Sorry stupid phone double posting Blush

cupcakefairy · 05/04/2012 18:00

Ooh & neeko, yes we would have waited few more months for the bed if it wasn't for baby but glad to have got it underway now! Definitely hear you on keeping them in one place!

Hi 4ever :) yeah can hardly believe how well j has taken to the bed, even wants to go in it for his naps saying 'bed bed, leep leep!' :) I'm just waiting for a disaster but maybe it won't happen! He doesn't get scooters at all, so funny he tries to sit on them like a ride on toy!
Happy Easter to you too (and everyone!) Hope u have lovely weekends.

vjay did I hear broody? Grin ah go oooonn Wink

4everhopeful · 05/04/2012 14:13

Meant to say Happy Easter to you all! Grin

Hey Vjay I'm here & good thanks! Smile Been meaning to post for ages! Big up your Cjay for tackling his first Munro! Bet you were eversuch a proud mummy that day! The scottish countryside is so beautiful Envy I used to love going walking with my dad.. Can't believe the switch in the weather eh? I actually got a tan last wk, now its back to jumpers! Only in Britain eh?!

Talking of which, I've been wondering how Barbies getting on too..? Hmm Bet its all a bit of a culture shock... If you're lurking hon, hope its gone smoothly as poss & you're still on for next wk?!

Hope youre having a wonderful break and had a lovely anniversary Blue?! Smile

Luckylouey if you're lurking from the sunny canaries!

Neeko I did Grin at your description of H not wanting to come into blow out her candles bless her! Sounded like a lovely day, fab to be able to spend it in the garden less mess Smile We'd hoped to have Summers 1st bd in the garden but it was pouring all day! Avidly planning her 2nd now, can't believe its only 7wks Shock seemed like ages between us when we were preg but no time at all really! Summer literally just learnt how to use the scooter we got her at christmas a few days ago, until then she'd wheel it about and stand on it with both feet! Grin

Cupcake hooray to J in his big boy bed! Bet you're pleased that's a milestone ticked off, before baby arrives! Grin Have you got him a 'big brother' t shirt? Too cute! Smile

All good here, looking forward to a nice long weekend with Dh Grin our local mothercare is reopening today after we lost it to the august riots looting bastards Hmm Have had a £30 voucher forever so off to purchase a potty and whatever else we find! Gonna wait til after her birthday and our hols before attempting actual training though!

Morning Smile

cupcake yes cjay said it was awesome, he loved it. Him and dh have already planned their next Munro Smile
Well done to J for sleeping in his big bed, what a big boy Smile

neeko I don't blame you for keeping H in her cot for as long as possible, I would have kept Ajay in his, but he just kept climbing (and falling) out.
Ajay has just learnt to go on his scooter, it's so cute watching his slow progress round the garden on it, but it keeps him happy, and quiet, for some time Grin

barbie are you there?????

blue hope youre relaxing and enjoying your hols, I bet you've got a nice cup of tea and dh cooking you breakfast as you read this, or is that just what I'm wishing for myself right now....

4ever how are you?

Heard from one of my old school friends that she's expecting her third, I'm really excited for her, and what with another friend expecting her first I had a fleeting feeling of broodyness yesterday, but it's gone again Grin

Neeko · 04/04/2012 20:19

Hi ladies.

Vjay Hope you've been sledging. We had snow here yesterday but it didn't lie. Nice and sunny though freezing today. well done to cjay for bagging his first munro. I climbed Ben Nevis a number of years ago. It's an awesome feling when you get to the top.

Cupcake well done to your big boy for sleeping in a big bed. Know you're doing it this early because of bump but I'm crossing my fingers that we'll get at least another 6 months out of Hannah in the cot. It's the only place she stays put! Grin

4ever I too had my Shock face on when I read about ring-gate! That must have been frightening.

Blue Hope the sun is shining for you in beautiful St Andrews

The birthday girl had a briliant time at her party on Saturday. The sun was shining and she was outside all afternoon with her cousins and was sobbing when we brought her in to blow out her candles - made for interesting video footage! Grin
Her favourite gift is her new scooter. She pends half the day on it saying "Scoot, Scoot" to herself!

Hope the rest of you are all ok.

cupcakefairy · 03/04/2012 08:40

Wow vjay can't believe it! It's raining here today boo! Amazing about cjay climbing the munro, did he enjoy himself?

Wondering how barbie is getting on anyone heard from her?

Hope you're having lovely holiday blue!

Ds has now spent 3 nights in his big boy bed! Gone v well so far, slept through to 6 or 6.30 & hasn't got out or fallen out! Sure it could go downhill when he realises he can get out but it's a good start :)

VJayazzle · 03/04/2012 07:09

I know, looks like it will be sledges and snowmen today rather than the sandcastles on the beach I'd planned to do.
