Due Fab Feb 2009: the Curry and Cake Club

[onwardandupward]

Here is our new thread!

Oh dear are we talking about nappies again.....

That's great news about TBM & TinyTink - I needed some good news this morning after being up till about 2.30 as DS wouldn't/couldn't sleep even after lots of calpol. We have prepared a big list of things we want to discuss with the paed today and won't leave his office till he takes some blood to test DS for coeliac disease.

Thanks for all the book suggestions, I will be doing a sneaky amazon order later and we will intensify our efforts in getting him used to the idea of the new baby, my friend is due in 3 weeks, so he's going to be seeing a lot of her tiny baby, so that shoudl help too.

laidback & mrsy - who do I know that lived round the corner from me and i wnet to brownies with his sister and is laidback's godson and mrsy fancied at school - do i need to look on FB as it will drive me mad not knowing all day as work have blocked all those kind of sites - spoilsports....

Best of luck at the paed's today Kazza - you must be absolutely shattered!

Great news about Tiny Tink staying put - still have TBM in my thoughts and prayers.

Swampster - the savaged min-min story made me laugh so loud that my secretary from 4 doors down came in to find out what was up. Now she's guffawing away out in the secretaries pod with the other mums...

Nappies are a slightly less scary thing to talk about at this time in the morning than the savaged min min though Herbgarden...

Great news about TBM - you hang in there little 'un!

Remember the min-min thread with great affection and tears of laughter in my eyes.

Remember it almost as affectionately as the time I rolled an unconscious patient on to their side (to freshen them up), only to have them squirt poo all over my horrid old boss! Ah, happy days......

MIL bought the "house inside mummy" book for us. Ds was interested for about 2 mins until he realised that dinosaurs were not going to be amongst the major protagonists, then he wandered off to play with his diggers . Hopefully, he will be more interested as time goes on.

Dh has bought a roomba vacuum cleaner as my back/hips etc are so bad and I have to vac every day due to the hairy dog (who is so lazy, it seems that moulting is the only thing he will do with gusto). Have got physio referral through - yippee!

Off to bang my head against a brick wall as some of my team mates are lazy dumb feckers do some work on my project management proposal. Bloody hate uni group work

KazzaL - Good luck with ds's appointment today. You guys sound absolutely worn out. Hope things improve soon x.

Kazzal - the mystery man is my best friend (LR's) younger brother, they lived in Windsor Rd when you were in Lyndhurst Rd. Mrsy is considerably younger than us and so my godson (who is the same age as her) would have been way off the radar ! Mena anything to you ? (look on facebook otherwise !)

Also - good luck with you paed appointment. Ask for a second opinion if you don't get any joy.

I remember - i used to clean their mum's cooker every friday for £1 a week. You still in contact with LR? I was in guides with her too

I'm going home on friday eve for a primary school year reunion in one of the bars on the seafront - had to ask my sis which one is what as it's chnaged it's name too many times now. Will be very strange though meeting up with people I haven't seen for over 20 years

Not feeling too tired this morning, it will be tomorrow when I suffer and i can't even get an ealry night tonight as I have guides till 9 - but it's half term next week, hurray..

laidback - you make me feel about five years old...

kazzal - hope everything goes well today.

God I know , I laughed at the min min story but obv couldn't tell my male colleague sitting next to me (or could I?!)....he has kids I'm sure he would have seen the funny side.

Isn't it funny how of all the people out there several of us know [of] each other??

Min min story is hysterical - cheered me up this morn as have been up half the night with DS... kept waking up and asking for a book..... nearly hit him over the head with it after the 4th time. Sigh - I guess I should be happy that he's developing an early interest in reading!

Calico - my DS loves books too - we have to have 4 stories before bath time and then around 4 at bedtime too (I swear he picks the longest stories too!) and then in the morning when he wakes up he often asks for stories in bed with us under the duvet....

We've made it a rule that he can have as many stories as he likes during the day whenever he wants but none in the middle of the night - seems to be working so far!

Ah, that's really sweet Dinky. I think my DS just wants to use the book as a missile but I'm hoping that he'll eventually read one...

Morning everyone. Still have cotton wool in my head today so am quite confused with trying to follow the thread, min mins, mystery men and brownies!

Good to log on and see some good news from TinkBM. Every day gained is great! Bet Tink will be glad to have mummy home/nearby.

My DS has loved books since he was really tiny and we have to read the same one every night as his last book before bed. We got it last Nov so its been every night for nearly a year.....I hate that book

What's a roomba WWMC? I have physio on Friday and am sooooo looking forward it (saddo) as I'm in so much pain.

Hope paed appt goes well Kazza

Calico - I am dreading the clocks going back this weekend . DS2 already wakes at 6.00am - I am hoping that somehow he will magically reset and continue with the 6.00am rising, but methinks that I too will be being belaboured round the head with a library book at 5.00am from Sunday ! .

We're off to a wedding on Friday - I ordered a new dress to wear from Monsoon, but now I don't like it and I am having a wardrobe crisis . I have a dress a wore to another wedding in September which still fits, but is a bit summery. I have a maternity dress that is a bit OTT.... balls...I think I am going to have to go shopping later .

Kazzal - still in contact with LR. We have been frinds 30 years this year ! . I wish someone would come and clean my cooker for a £1.00.

oh Lord, forgot about the clocks going back - DS has been waking a 5.30 ish for the last few weeks. Don't think I can face a 4.30 breakfast.....help! Am now thinking bad thoughts about keeping him up til midnight in the hope of a 6.00am lie-in.

Hey all - sorry havent posted in a while just been sooo busy with wedding preparations and that kind of thing generally. Still having loads of probs with diabetes and sugar levels so back up to the hospital today - need to get them sorted out very soon though as 23 weeks this sat and need for my little man not to be affected by them which he will be soon if this isnt controlled.

Did have a quick scan of posts in last week or so and just wanted to say that i hope that TBM's little one is hanging in there ok - very scary stuff but hopefully she can hold on for a few weeks yet.

Hope everyone else is doing ok - cant wait to get to 24 weeks myself as i know alot of you all are past that date now. Only another 10 days to go - just will be nice to know lo is officially viable

Had wedding dress taken up as there is no way i can wear heels for wedding - back wont take it but the alterations lady took it up too far and now you can see the tulle underskirt when i walk - shes left no hem whatsoever so im not really sure what to do other than get the tulle underbit taken up too but then the dress wont really be as long as i wanted it to be grrrrr - bit late to be looking for another dress too!

Rosieposey - what a pain about your wedding dress. I had the same issue with mine and ended up with a 'ballerina' length dress, which would have been ok if I looked anything like a ballerina...

Have sudden odd craving for mulligatawny soup (and I don't even like beef) which I need to do something about right now. Alas village shop here stocks poor selection of over-processed foods and chemical loaded snacks so I'll have to try and find some suitable lunch alternative.

Ok - am happy now, have made do with cream of tomato and a peshwari nan left over from last night's takeaway.

mmmm I've been eating a tin of tomato soup a day with grated cheese in every day! Not great for the salt intake but I can't get enough of the stuff!

Good choice on the heels RosieP, I struggled through most of the night and wasn't pg! Having netting peeking out is quite fashionable!

Also totally dreading clocks going back - had a relative lie in with ds waking at 6:45 (has been 5 all this week).

We've tried keeping him up late but it makes sod all difference.

MsLucy - we aspire to 6.45 wake ups in our house. DS has been up at 5.50 for the past few days, is normally a 6amish boy. I too will be sharing in the early waking pain on Sunday....

hmmm, they all seem to have an inner clock set for a wake-up at a crazy pre-dawn time. Poor DS was falling asleep again on the way to nursery this morning......so why oh why can't he manage to stay asleep just a little teeny bit longer in the morn. He's always been rubbish at sleeping through but it's getting worse at the mo.

spottyshoes - roomba = robot vac . My back, hips & general undercarriage area are knackered, so he got this to help with housework (have to vac every day, sometimes twice a day due to extremely moulty dog). I too am looking forward to the humiliation & pain that is physio treatment.
