can't have you undoing your roog neekoGrin

As all too often I am rushing - pfj hope that you are feeling a bit better, your first af after a mc will be a bit all over the shop and I think I often felt sick too on't know if it's to do with hormones. On the other hand...... but I know and undersatand your scary feelings. oh and fingers crossed for your dh wage cheque.x

barbie yeah to bionic dolly and sleeping. It feels like you are in a dark long tunnel when they won't sleep.

iggy babyig is just lovely, hope you are feeling a bit more comfy day by day. That salt stuff you put in the bath is good for stiches and healing and I think I remember taking arnica tablets too, thats a bit hazy though.

cupcake tis lovely to read you all glowing and content albeit it soggySmile Hope the jags were as ok as possible.x

lbm think you are on your travels but yipee for littel j also turning a corner,have a great time.

mls just checking you are not rushing around too much, feet up and ice-cream etc.

vjay..... um I am sorry I have let the side down rather badly this week and not even been to the gym. Well done for perservering though, kiss to the boys.

monkey hope you have had a great time with the family amidst your gleaming cellars, that calls for a boden celebrationSmile

4ever those photos are just ace definatley need sopme clips in all that hairSmile They look so small when you move them into the cot, hope she settles in.

I am on my second day of ADs which for a control freak like me is a bit of a wierd experience. I keep looking in the mirror to see if anyone will notice (mad bint)

Anyway as soon as dh is home we are off the the beach regardles of the mizzle and going kayaking. vjay I know that when I try my wetsuit on I will be quaffing no points soup with youSmile

cupcakefairy · 06/08/2010 20:59

Hello ladies. Jabs were evil - I cried! Wasn't expecting to at all but it was so sad! J coped very well though - he was quite listless last night but seems fine today.

We went to a Mum & baby film screening at the cinema today - Shrek 4 Grin I thoroughly enjoyed going to the cinema again & J was very well behaved.

mermaid kayaking in the rain is the best kind! Hope you blew those cobwebs away. You're a very brave lady starting the ADs; really hope it helps you find a bit more light.

Neeko hope you enjoyed pizza hut :) and yay for a feel-good dress!

iggy so lovely to see you popping your head round the door... please email a pic of iggypiglet when you have 5 mins (pah!) would love to see her. I felt the same as you re avoiding emcs but ended up wishing I had had one after my evil haematoma!

4ever can't believe S is out of her moses basket. Dh just suggested we put J in the cot this weekend...I gave him this look Shock

barbie and MLS where have you got to lovelies?

Ooh, anyone interested- my little bro is on University Challenge on Monday, captain of the Southampton team
Look out for his pretty embarrassing geographical gaffe!! Grin he is a genius about some things but so thick about others!!

Have lovely weekends all :)

4everhopeful · 07/08/2010 01:49

Just have to share: We put biscuit in her little crib & she loves it! Grin She was grinning & giggling, immensely cute! Thought id be devastated but that made it all better, Grin also seein her able to stretch out properly! Blush Its the cutest swingin crib from mothercare, not a full cot, her cot beds huge & looks so lovely in her room, it has her changing mat on top too so good reasons to invest in the crib! Smile Shes so incredibly long she doesnt look too tiny in it at all! ..... Cupcakewiththebrainybro i shall sky plus that! Grin .... Mermaid huge hug, knew youd been struggling & feel bad not been there more for you, but really hope you are making steps onwards & upwards out of the dark times that have hung over you brave lady.. X

Neeko · 07/08/2010 07:53

Morning
Mermaid Big hug for your continuing struggles. Hope the ADs help. How was the kayaking? (sp) I'm Envy as I love it despite the horrible squeezing self into wetsuit experience.

Cupcake Boo for jags but that set will never come again. My sky+ is set.

4ever Bless S in her crib. I've used one with H from day 1 and it's fab. She'll be too big for it in a few short weeks and I'll really miss being able to stick my foot out the bed to give it a shove so that it rocks and I can get 30 more seconds of sleep! Grin

H woke 30 secs after I left the house last night Hmm DH had to spend about an hour rocking her in the pram (with the extractor fan on Grin) to get her back to sleep and she was still there when i came back because he was scared to move her!

SabsFabulous · 07/08/2010 12:34

Hi ladies. Just a quick post from my phone. I started a long post on tuesday but Saara woke up from her sleep screaming as she's teething again and the nights have been the same every night since then Sad. Its my 6th wedding anniversary today and Saara's going to be staying the night away from me at my mum's for the first time ever... Eeek! Don't know how i'll be able to be without her! Will let you all know next week how it all went. Also i'm very lucky in that I have secured a role at work for when I go back in October and won't have to go through the whole application process, so thats such a huge relief. Its been very quite on here. Hope everyone is ok. Hugs to everyone especially mermaid and all the smallpanter's and kisses to my cyber nephews and nieces

barbie1 · 07/08/2010 17:00

Gosh i dropped of the radar then for a minute Shock back tomorrow for a proper catch up....massive love to you all and an extra hug for those that need it right now, thinking of you all

happy anniversary sabs Smile

barbie1 · 07/08/2010 18:04

for you of you not on fb...this is how active dolly is! Smile

barbie1 · 07/08/2010 18:06

you of you???? jEEZE my brain is frazzled! Confused

MummyLovesSadie · 07/08/2010 20:52

Hello I'm just checking-in too Smile. We've had family staying with us, will be back tomorrow when they've gone.

cupcakefairy · 07/08/2010 21:54

barbie video didn't work..says it's either been removed or not visible cos of privacy settings :(

Forgot to say before, blue I'm def interested in your bfing tops if nobody else has bagsed them... I'll email you. A bit dubious as to whether I can still fit into a 10-12 but think it should be ok!
I'm going to treat myself to an Elle McPherson nursing bra too as I've heard they're fab and my dowdy mumsy bras are really doing nothing for me!!

Hello MLS :)

sabs CONGRATULATIONS on the job that is really great news :)

barbie1 · 08/08/2010 07:04

is it working now?

barbie1 · 08/08/2010 07:07

how about now? Confused

barbie1 · 08/08/2010 07:09

last try!

barbie1 · 08/08/2010 07:23

ahhhhh! i cant do it! Meh... oh well

Hope everyone is ok, we finally turned the corner, only 2 wake up's in the night, sleeping til about 6.45am, was just feeling good enough to get hair cut, eyebrows threaded and nails done and then wham last night was the worst night ever Hmm
We were up until 2am Shock poor Dolly had a tummy ache i think, ah well tonight can only get better.

sabs i also forgot to say congrats on the job front, must be a huge relief to have a job to go back too. The pics of Saara on fb are super duper cute!

mermaid in all my self indulgent postings over the last few weeks days i failed to see that you were about to start AD's Blush i promise to pay full attention from here on in. I hope you get on ok with them. You make me smile so much with all your anti dieting talk! How did the wetsuit fit? I hate getting out of a wet suit, im always the numpty who will be hopping around trying to keep my balance and still end up face first in the sand...and find sand in place which it should be for days and days after!
We are in your neck on the woods for bank hol weekend, friends are camping for the weekend and we are coming down for a day trip Smile looking forward to taking dolly on the beach for the first time (silly since we live5 mins from the beach!) we will be the mad family all wrapped up while every sunbathes in swimmers, its much too cold for us!

neeko is H still being a good girl for mummy? Dh and i giggled at your last post... i can imagine your hubby standing still in the kitchen for 4 hours not daring to move in case he wakes H up! Grin

mls how's the bump? hope you had a good weekend with the family....have you come across the coolbabycool web site? fab jewellery, for some reason made me think of you?

4ever forgot to save love the bronze cast Smile Summer has hair a little like Dollie's, i always put a small clip in it, but never a hair band (sorry to the mummies who like hair bands Blush just not for me!) Anyways claires do a baby range of clips and slides which will look adorable in Summers hair!

vjay are you wasting away? Grin where are you? how is the diet going?

oh heck, i have to rescue the playstation from some grubby hands, back later x

VJay · 08/08/2010 10:08

Good morning Smile

I've had a quick read through and a whopping big YAY to barbie and Dolly getting some sleep SmileSmile

cupcake thanks for the link to Aunty Gok's site I will be checking that out later Smile

neeko and mermaid I have had 2 naughty days filled with ice cream, Mcdonalds, curry, chocolate cake, but I have been travelling in the car for a total of approx 20 hours Confused, that's me frazzled Grin, but I am well and truley back on the wagon today. And neeko well done on getting into size 10 jeans, I am no where near my 14's yet Smile

sabs I left Ajay twice this week for the first time ever and he was fine, much to my relief. I was very nervous, but both boys were so well behaved, I was a very proud mummy Smile

pfj how are you feeling, has the sickness gone? How is little Jack?

blue and neeko I am down your way on Wednesday, well Dundee, dh has a meeting, and me and the boys are along for the ride to do some shopping, so if you're around, I am Grin

Had a fab 2 weddings, met up with some old school girl friends some I hadn't seen for 6 years, and 1 bloke I hadn't seen for 15 years but remembered my mouth Hmm, non of us had changed much, still all a bit loopy, we had such a giggle and 3 of us didn't even drink!!!Grin
Back to normality now and dieting Smile

VJay · 08/08/2010 10:09

Sorry neeko size 12 jeans!!!

4ever sorry hun missed you there, read above re diet Grin

OP posts:
cupcakefairy · 08/08/2010 17:39

Aw barbie sorry last night was so bad..you're right it can only get better from there!!
Envy of eyebrow threading...have always wanted to get that done.
By the way, a really close friend of mine is moving to Dubai for 7 months this week for work and is quite keen to meet other Brits out there...do you mind if I give her your email address? She is very lovely but you can totally say no if that's too weird Confused

Neeko I am also Envy of the size 12 jeans!! Well done though :)

Vjay good for you eating all that lovely food Grin life is too short! So glad you had a good time at the weddings and the boys did you proud :)

I'm now going to attempt for the third time this week to put some new pics of J on my profile...

cupcakefairy · 08/08/2010 17:57

Grr, it won't work. I think the files are too big...will have to do some resizing.

Neeko · 08/08/2010 20:45

Hello all.
The size 12 jeans are only fitting now cos they need a wash... Think Pizza Hut was a step too far but I too am back on the wagon now.

Cupcake H was born quite a while before J so I'm allowed those jeans! Smile really must post more pictures too.

Vjay So pleased to hear you had a good time and your boys behaved. Also pleased you blew the diet as it would be horrible to be dieting on such a lovely weekend away.

MLS Let the decorating commence.

Sabs Fab news about the job. Hope Saara's poor gums are ok.

Barbie Hope last night was a blip and Dolly sleeps really well tonight. DH just left H in the kitchen BTW. He sat in the living room watching telly.Smile

Hi to all the lurkers out there.

Joolsiam · 08/08/2010 20:57

Helloooooooooo from the Suffolk coast :) after 6 x 65 hour weeks, phase 1 of my project went live on Thurs and I headed off for a desperately needed long weekend on Friday. Have had a really relaxing time - just what I needed. Am on iPod now but have been lurking and wl join in properly when I get home. Need to join the dieters. Love to all. J

barbie1 · 09/08/2010 07:51

Hi, another crappy night...it's gotta be the teeth Hmm

Anyways, cupcake you must get your eyebrows threaded, it really is the best thing ever! It's getting more and more popular in the uk right now so im sure there must be somewhere local to you? Its hurt's though, mind you not half as bad as child birth Wink
PLease tell your friend to get in touch, it would be lovely to meet her, sadly she is coming at the wrong time cos ramadam starts next week and the whole place becomes a ghost town until after the sun goes down, hard to meet up anywhere for a coffee. Im sure i can meet her somewhere and give her a few tips on surviving in the dessert!
Is she on fb? she could add me if she likes, might be easier for her?

neeko size 12??? well done! Ive just tried on my skinny jeans and i cant do them up Sad diet starts here for me today....

jools feet up, wine in hand, room service, forget the diet and enjoy a well deserved break Smile

sabs ditto on the teething, a right PITA isnt it???? Ill hold your hand to get us both through a hard time, although i think you should let saara stay out more, she seems to sleep longer Wink hope your anniversary was a good one....

iggy gorgeous pics of the wee girlie, i hope you are healing, resting, bonding and all the other things we have to do in the precious first few weeks.

4ever yeah for little Summer being in a bigger bed Smile i remember crying when dolly went into the big cot. Our next step is to get her into her own room, this weekend i think Sad we have to get her sleeping better, for all our sakes

Whoops out of time, ill be back soon, love to you all xxx

barbie1 · 09/08/2010 07:54

oh oh i forgot another barbie moment!

Decided to give dolly a farleys rusk, couldnt be bother to express so just squeezed my boobies while leaning over the bowl, happily squeezing away forgetting im standing at the window.....and the gardener walks in!!! Blush
Strangely he hasn't been back since Hmm

Oh and finally, thanks for all your lovely comments on the video of Dolly on fb! Superbabe indeed! Smile

VJay · 09/08/2010 09:56

Morning Smile

Me and neeko are changing the weigh-in day to Friday as Monday isn't working for us Grin. I lost a pound and neeks 1/2 a pound, so we are still losing which is fab Grin

barbie sorry I didn't see that you'd had a crappy night, and there was me congratulating you Blush, and what's eyebrow threading? I've never heard of it.
Love the barbie moment Grin, I used to do that, express into bowls and stuff, not very glamorous but nice and easy to do Smile

jools come join us on our Friday weigh-in Smile

Right gotta dash, taking dh to work so I can have the car today Smile
