Due April 2009 - Tralalaboomdiay, our bumps grow every day!!

[BabyBolat]

Place your bets on how long this thread will last, my guess is two weeks!!

LOL can just imagine you hobbling down there Nutty (or being carried by DH) and giving them what for!!

Barbarella - you are scarily organised!!!

Hydrotherapy people just rang from the hospital. From Monday I am going to have four sessions bobbing about in a lovely warm water environment with a genuinely sexy Canadian bloke. Now that's what I call therapy. I love the NHS sometimes. I had better go and do my bikini line etc.!!

I think that you'll do fine too and I also think it's great to bf as much as you can. Being organised at the beginning and going in with a plan will I think help you settle quicker into rhythm that will work for you and your dh.
My sister who had twins said she sometimes felt like a bf-ing machine trying to keep her boys happy in the early stages. She made sure to call on everyone she could to help though and often one of the boys was being ff while the other was being bf. (she found it near impossible to do the two at once because she needed a free hand for the 2yr dd running around.
Shame on your dh's co-workers, but often men don't know how to express themselves very well and since it's still common practice to think that marriage is a ball and chain... well I'll happily join the posse and give them what for too

Shall I book the minibus?
Can we go in all wearing handsfree pumps to frighten them? Please?

So I pose another question to those already mums...
How much trouble will it be for the child to be lifted out of the car seat when they are sleeping? If we want to use a baby pouch instead of a stroller, they'll have to be moved anyway...And babies always seem to sleep very well in pouches...do you foresee a lot of crying for babyBleuravin?

lol handsfree pumps...that might well scare me... I'll do my OW routine and double over quickly like I had to do at the car place the other day because SPrite kicked in that ooh so sensitive low spot... I thought they guy behind the counter was going to poo in his pants his eyes were so wide

ooh yes that will scare them!!! Barbarella, sometimes wonder where blokes humor comes from particularly in GB, but you do get some grown ups who tell you just how magical it really is!!!

Barbarella, I don't think you are soppy at all - shows that you are so in love with each other, these little babies will have everything they could ever want!

Bleu wow twins and a 2 year old!! Your sister must be amazingly organised! I think that was my friends problem to be fair, she never got in to a routine, and was literally 'on call' for them whenever they needed it!!!

Boffin - yay!!! that is amazing!!! ooh, I think my back is hurting a bit actually - can I come with???

He is mine, BB, all mine. I am not sharing him with anyone. But you can have him after I have finished with him.

Poor bloke has no idea what is about to hit him.

Bleu, sometimes they wake up, sometimes they don't, but if you're feeling lazy/tired you will just end up bringing the whole car seat in and plonking it in the hall, which is an argument not to get a heavy one.

Poor Nutty. It's tough to know what to do now.

aw Nutty that's the pits in many ways... So sorry
Try to focus on the good stuff as much as you can and pamper yourself lots to make up for the ucky stuff.
Would you like a nice warm, fresh from the oven Cheesecake to wallow in? I have one on the counter...

Nutty, I am being referred to a pain clinic - I forget if you have told us already, have you been to one yet?

The thing is the car seat we were thinking of getting is one of those static ones that you leave buckled into the car...

Oh Nutty - what a nightmare - did they offer you ANYTHING in terms of physio or something to help -

Oh Boffin, come on, play fair..... just a couple of sessions!!!

Bleu, think it really depends on the baby some sleep fairly heavy some don't - ca't remember who asked about slings but I got a great one from Close www.closebabycarrier.com which I love and is really supportive (have had my friend check it out with her baby) can carry it upright or led asleep!

Alright but only if you share nicely. And look fatter than me

Bleu I am not having any pain problems but I want some cheesecake please please please....

God I would sell my children on ebay for a piece of warm cheesecake right now.

I will make one. Bleu, please remind me what I have to do.

Oh yes Bleu can you send the recipe....

Poor Nutty thats really poo. Just when you had thought it might get sorted being told you have another x months of it getting worse must be horrible!

On a different note I had a mini argument with dh last night and cant even remember what it was about (I think I may have told him he was sex obsessed or some such thing in a joking manner) anyway he told me that I have changed and am getting frumpy as I get older (I have just turned 26) and I dont know what he means, when I asked him to explain he started on about me behaving as if my mother is in the room all the time judging me on what I say and do which I may understand in the context of sex etc as that is the case since we got married but what does that have to do with being frumpy?

I am confused and it is really bugging and upsetting me now.

Claire xXx

Well you can each have a heafty piece because DH does not know that I made it yet.

He can have that little sliver that's left...if I do not choose to eat it later myself

Cheesecake:

About 10-15 crushed digestives
Heaping big spoon of sugar
75g of melted butter
(mix together and press into springform pan-mines a 9inch)

3 250g packs of cream cheese
250g sugar-finer granulated sugar works better i find
dash of vanilla -or for super special fresh vanilla pod seeds
50ml milk or light cream
3 eggs
Mix the above together add two dashes of flour (no more than 30ml) mix again so it's super smooth. Pour into pan. Bake at 190'C for 30-45 mintues (or until the outside 2inches are 'set' when shaken. Cool 15 mintues then cut away from pan and cool another 20-30 minutes (or as long as you can wait) Remove completely from pan -and voila!

To make super special cut the mix in half before mixing in flour and add flour to one (15ml) and coco (15ml) to other then swirl the mixes together pour most of one around the pan then the other then go back again and pour the remaining of the first. Add chocolate shavings to the top after the first 15 minute cool. People go ga-ga for it.
