Hi All
Pancakes part I done for breakfast with maple syrup. Pancakes part II with chocolate spread for a treat after tea tonight. Pancakes part III (for me and DH!) with fruit and honey planned for about 10pm tonight at this rate!!
waves glad to hear you are out of hospital and hope you get your medication soon.
jolly what a rotten run of luck. Will you definitely not get any maternity pay at all from the company? Sometimes you can accrue it. If you don't then you can apply for a maternity grant I think it's called? My friend had it when she had her second (she never went back to work after her first). I think it works out the same as the SMP, but you are then entitled to all sorts of extra grants and vouchers and stuff, so it might be worth checking out? When you do find out for definite about your job? Very sorry to hear about your friend as wel, that is awful news.
Mayan hope things are OK with you.
Non-vom vibes being sent to all those suffering with viruses. There is chicken pox going around DS school and DD's playgroup at the moment. DD has been complaining of feeling cold and tired all weekend so I keep checking her for spots but nothing yet. DS had it when he was just 3, and DD was a newborn, and she never got it so hoping it means she has some sort of super immune system. We are going away to Center Parcs this weekend for the start of half term so no doubt we'll get the first spots on Friday.....
mrswajs yay for the improved scan date and best of luck!
remembering glad you are feeling better.
I am going to properly look at slings this time round. I had a baby bjorn with DS but I just could not get it to fit comfortably at all, although DH loved it, especially all the women coming up to him to coo over the baby all the time!! I tried it again with DD but again no good. I have a bit of a dodgy back, so I just assumed that it was the weight of my babies that was the problem but I'm interested to see that might be wrong. I also borrowed a type of peanut shell sling when I had DD, but I found that when she was snuggled right in, it made her absolutely boiling and I still had to have one hand under her to support her because I as convinced she was going to fall out. However, I will need both hands free this time round to deal with DS and DD so a decent sling will be my lifesaver. I will look up the sling libraries recommended.
Whoever it was that had the Ultima system from M&P - that's the pram system I had. I don't remember all 9 functions, but I'm sure one was that you could turn it into a highchair by putting the pushchair 'chair' bit on the carrycot stand - pushing it a bit far I think!!
