Sabs1981 · 30/03/2010 15:25

Just realised I wrote that post whilst eating a Wispa bar [blush}

Sabs1981 · 30/03/2010 15:24

Another congrats to neeko and family on neekogirl I texted neeko as well to say congrats and she wanted to know who won the sweepstake!

mermaid so sorry to hear about your cat And please don't leave us A bit confused about your last post

monkey if you're lurking, here's a hand to hold. Life is so unfair sometimes

louey good luck with sorting out the childcare arrangements but good to hear the search is going well

iggy is the place you're going for a second viewing online? Post the link so that we can all have a nosy!

barbie checking on Devon like that is not silly at all. I'm always waking up in the night to check on Saara. We sleep at the end/bottom of our bed so we can be closer to Saara as the cot is there And with routines, I know I said yesterday I thought we had it cracked, but Saara woke up again last night. I do get gasps from people in RL when I say I'm not trying for a 7am-7pm routine, but I'm trying to do a routine which fits our lifestyle, even if it isnt the "norm".

vjay is the snow settling? I'm taking Saara into work on the bus tomorrow and heavy rain is forecast here tomorrow. Thats going to be fun!

pfj I am so sorry I forgot you in my post yesterday Hope you're back again soon

kate at Jack being 3 weeks already!Hope you're both doing well

gg I'm also lurking for news from mls Will try to text you if I'm still on here and hear anything

Found out about a buggy fit class starting soon near me. Really need to stop eating chocolate. I'm sure when I go to work tomorrow there'll be comments about my weight

mermaidspurse · 30/03/2010 14:58

Primrose, florence, bethsheba, sharon.

mermaidspurse · 30/03/2010 14:53

monkey sending you out a mass of thoughts and hope and strength.

barbie burn the book. You are doing really really well.

snow? so glad that neeko is cuddled up in hospital and not battling through a snow drift.
vjay that shovel your dh bought has so been put to good use this year hope your back is a wee bit better, sorry re the feeding and hope you are ok.x

4ever thank you sunny lady you are sounding upbeat, hope you are feeling less spd and getting a bit more sleep.

poor cat is now in a box in the greenhouse poor ds, it's nearly school time and dreading it.

love to everyone especially new girls, sorry will try and catch up later.

MrsKate · 30/03/2010 14:46

hope everyone one is well xxxx

GracieGirl · 30/03/2010 14:39

Am I too early for news from MLS? Just nipping out, can someone text me.

GracieGirl · 30/03/2010 13:11

Barbie I'm pleased I managed to reassure you. Routines are just one way of doing things, they work for some and not others.

I can't stop thinking about Monkey its just rubbish isn't it.

Barbie if you send an email to [email protected] I will send you all the numbers I have.

GracieGirl · 30/03/2010 13:08

Mermaid I'm sorry about your cat.

I've had a text from Monkey, things aren't sounding good. She's had the CVS test done and is now resting. She gets the results at the end of the week. She says she isn't holding out much hope as the scan didn'tlook good. Poor Monkey - lie just isn't fair is it!!

ThePFJ · 30/03/2010 12:51

mermaid - I am so sorry about your cat, I had my cat put down a little while ago, he had been with me since he was a kitten. I was in pieces. I found it helped to put a picture of him up on the mantlepiece so I didn't feel like he was completely gone.

Hugs xxx

barbie1 · 30/03/2010 12:05

Aw Mermaid lovely lovely lady, your poor cat, I know how heartbreaking that is, have had to do the same with my beloved childhood cat & 2 dogs & still reguarl;y dream of them years later ...What a horrid way to spend your birthday.. Poor DS too... Massive hug coming your way... x x x x x BTW we have missed you - sure all the others really echo that, we want you to stick around please.....? x x x x x

VJay · 30/03/2010 10:55

oh mermaid I am so sorry, your poor cat, and poor you and ds too .
I have missed you on here recently, and always think of you xx

OP posts:
barbie1 · 30/03/2010 10:50

oh dear i thought something was wrong..you are normally so happy. Poor you and poor ds

mermaidspurse · 30/03/2010 10:48

achhh ignore - feeling cos spent birthday evening at emergency vets, I sure know how to party.
cat had been poorly all week and plummeted yesterday. rushed him in, he has a tumour and its cats curtain time. I am waiting for the call from the vet now, am just ridiculously upset. ds is beside himself as he was out at skate night and not here for him. I can't ask the vet to keep poor cat alive until after school that would be too cruel.
The circle of life and death eh? we came home watched single married other which put the icing on the cake, ate cake and cried lots

VJay · 30/03/2010 10:29

Oh and barbie you are doing really well, you are following your insticnts and from reading your posts you sound like a natural, only take what advice you want from these books and discard the rest

OP posts:
VJay · 30/03/2010 10:26

mermaid I would text you if I had your number, I have 4evers and blues that's all. How are you?

I know barbie I stood on the scales on Friday and I weighed a stone and half heavier than I do now! Go figure!!!

OP posts:
barbie1 · 30/03/2010 10:17

hugs for mermaid im sorry nobody text you i dont have your number only gg. Please dont feel left out, we love you!

vjay snort at you thinking you have lost a stone and a half since friday, that would be one impressive diet

barbie1 · 30/03/2010 10:14

loueytbg Gosh you have been through it lately havent you, glad you feel better enough to post, i also suffered from headaches after my mc, they come and go with the hormone dip, it does past but in the mean time orange juice and lots of water will help, as will doing nothing/ eating mini eggs and watching crappy day time tv

curly wow how did you manage to do such a big post? Im off to the hairdresser this afternoon, i have to take the baby though because i have no one to have her, times like this i really miss being near the family . Dh will drop by the salon on the way home from work to collect her so hopefully she will be sleeping for the time she is with me and then naughty wide awake for her daddy

q&a well done for such mammoth and personal posts glad you have found us and are settled, as is pfj. Its nice to have new faces here (shame its not for nicer reasons)....

vjay i too read back over the old threads, its nice to see how far everyone has come, how supportive we all are and there are a fair few laughs along the way...remember the hoover anyone?

lbm nice to see you again too....sorry you are so tired, cant believe you have only 3 months left already

blue hello...i nearly fb you the other day with a question but by the time it had loaded i had forgotten maybe i was going to ask how long baby brain last for

A massive hello to everyone i might of missed...Im in the middle of a bit of housework while baby sleeps, i have so much to organise before we fly home.

Just had my post baby checkup and everything is good...Im having the coil put back in when we get back, although i have been put off by vjays poor back
Devon was brill, she slept all the way through the appt only to wake up as we were leaving, and then scream in the car, so badly she sounded like she was choking...i was in the outside lane of 6 lanes with manic drivers all around me, i did a movie manover and pulled into a garage and pretented to need petrol so i could check she was still breathing as she went so quiet after the screams....please tell me others do silly things like that too?

We have to go and collect Devons passport tomorrow, how cool is that?

The lady who's name we do not mention on mn (gf) has been staring at me over the last few days so i finally sat down and read it, then i had a few tearful days thinking that im a bad mum cos i do everything she says not too., started to really feel a little down about lack of routine, cuddles at bed time and demand feeding. Thankfully my mum and gg made me se sense and realise that ife is too short and to enjoy the baby...routines can wait.......Until i really cant take anymore lack of sleep

Have A good day everyone xxx

mermaidspurse · 30/03/2010 10:09

neeko fab news well done. Hope that all is ok now and you are all cosy counting pink toes and fingers.xx

Noone ever texts me the good news that happens, feel I am truly out of all this happy bump stuff really.

monkey so thinking of you lovely lady, please, please try and believe, I know it is very hard.x

mls thinking you have a scan so hope you are ok.

ThePFJ · 30/03/2010 10:07

Congrats Neeko!!!!

I have been a bit off the last few days, sorry I haven't been around. I have got plenty of mini-eggs though so I am sure I'll pull through.

Hugs everyone. xxx

VJay · 30/03/2010 10:06

Oh iggy I know, at the moment he his sitting in his bouncy chair squealing at ds1 because he thinks he is so ace

iggypiggy · 30/03/2010 10:01

barbie I thought we had similar taste too when you posted your nursery pics - I love our house - but we always wanted to move this year to get somewhere a bit bigger - with a garden, so we just going ahead with that.

louey meant to say - Hot Milk is a brand of bra - they are nice! I don't much like the name tho....

QA highly recommend a spa day - My mum paid for me to have something similar after my MC and is was lovely.

Vjay I really can't beleive it is 7 months since Ajay was born... that seems like yesterday!
