Morning Smile

Happy Birthday Saara - hope you have a lovely day sabs, great weather for a birthday Smile

barbie oh my love, what a nightmare. Not that Aberdeen is particularly bad (as far as I know) but I know that moving 3x in a year will not be fun. It would be cool for you to be able to meet up with vjay or jarjar or whatever name she is using today Grin. Maybe you are just destined to move around the country meeting up with emmys's?? How is Dolly today, you must be knackered if she's not sleeping. Tons of luck tomorrow for your scan, will be looking forward to the news that its a baby ralph.

gracie fabby news that the sickness has stopped. Your asthma doesn't sound like fun though - I agree with mls have they checked for infections? Your immune system is lower during pg and your are more susceptible to things. I'm sure the vomiting can't have helped. Hope you feel better very soon x

mls yay for bump Smile and I'm sure if you position DD2 correctly, no one will notice at swimming. I think people are far less observant sometimes than we expect. Are you still doing your painting or is life just too hectic at the moment.

cupcake boys have very unsubtle ways of getting your attention don't they! Glad you got your scan date sorted.

4ever you sound so relaxed and chilled. I'm glad the island of love did the trick Smile.

Monkey glad you're ok (and thanks for update barbie). It sounds like things are a bit mad at the moment!

moon we understand, but make sure you post when you need us, even if it is just to vent. {{{{HUGS}}}} from me x

vjay I'm loving the last ever series of Spooks can't believe there are only 6 episodes though.

blue hope you're ok?? I think I misssed the fall out with your friend as it sounds like it happened around the time that Oscar was born, so I don't know what happened.

LBM if you're around, I know you said you've been to disneyland paris - who did you book it through? We are thinking of going next June half-term.

buddha Glad you had a lovely holiday Smile hope you're not getting too stressed out about E's op. It will be over before you know it.

curlywhodefinitelyshouldbePM fab post, brought tears to my eyes x

Glad the list has been ressurected, but I think we need a new category - support pants Hmm. I've been running 3x a week for 35-45 mins but have lost hardly any weight. I've ordered a running buggy and I'm now impatiently waiting for it to be delivered so I can go running in the daytime with Oscar, instead of in the dark after DH gets home from work. He is away Mon-Thurs next week so I'm flying solo. The mornings are going to be a nightmare - its hard enough with 2 adults.

Otherwise, I've been really busy being a bit of a social butterfly. The parents meeting I went to last week was for the parents of kids in the unit that Isaac goes to. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it turned out to be really useful, because I found out loads of info about what goes on in the unit, stuff about outside activities and also the mums were all really nice. One of them invited me for coffee on Friday with a group of other mums (all of whom have at least 1 child with ASD) and then we had a workshop this week with another group of mums to chat about issues affecting kids with ASD. I managed to meet the mum whose DD is in the same taxi as Isaac which was really useful. As well as that, I've been sorting out booking a holiday for next Easter and organising for our holiday in October (we leave 3 weeks today!).

We have also made the decision to split I&L up - we have been putting Luke to bed in a different room to Isaac to try and get them both to sleep earlier, then we move him back later on. But its a bit of a PITA so we are going to convert the spare room into a room for Luke which means all the furniture in there has to go (its a bit of a dumping ground) and we need to buy him a new bed and decorate the room. He wasn't keen until I said we would have to paint it - he wants it to be painted orange!!!

loueytb3 · 30/09/2011 10:30

Hi vjay isn't ajay a little small to be painting the ceilings??? Grin

gracie meant to say, can beat your lion in the video recorder - we've had 5 CDs in our CD player which holds 1. It doesn't work anymore....

CurlyLikesShortShorts · 30/09/2011 11:21

Sorry lovelies lots of posts u want to write but we are on the move and I'll need to take my turn driving in a minute. Back on over the weekend if I can get network coverage!!!

Just wanted to say happy birthday to our gorgeous Saara GrinGrinGrin

And here's my hand and some hairstrokes for barbie for tomorrow in case I lose the Internet xxxx

Yay we are going away for three whole days GrinGrinGrinGrin

CurlyLikesShortShorts · 30/09/2011 11:25

I mean I want to write Blush

GracieGirl · 30/09/2011 11:28

Vjay I've no idea how a lion gets in a video player, maybe DD might know though! If it's a skill you need to acquire I'll ask her for tips! Noah's ark is now a bit sparse with only a mummy lion. DD has paired it with a fire engine though so all will be well, I'll be interested to know what happens to the next generation of lions though! Grin

Louey sounds like a good idea to split up the boys at bed time. Good luck with the running, sounds like lots if hard work! I've had a course of antibiotics which got rid of the greenness from the sputum so hopefully infection has gone now. I'll give the steroids a couple of days and see what happens.

GracieGirl · 30/09/2011 11:31

Curly have a lovely time!! Smile

Barbie I'll be awake bright and early in the morning to hold your hand for your scan.

My mum just appeared and has taken DD out. Smile I'm off to bed. 2 naps for me today!

BuddhaBelly · 30/09/2011 21:05

Just popping in to give Saara a late birthday wish and to send luck and love to Barbie for her scan tomorrow

Apologies for lack of personals but mega busy at work, had a run of crap sleep with Ewan and feeling rather frazzled Grin starting to wobble about next Tuesday too (I know i know he will be fine but been having awful nightmares) also think being very tired and AF due is a bad combi!!!

Out all day tomorrow but will try and catch up Sunday Smile

VJay · 30/09/2011 21:55

Awww Buddha I know how you feel, I was having bad dreams before ajays nut challenge, by the time the day came I was a nervous wreck, the relief when we were told he didn't have to have it was amazing, and you will feel that relief once the op is done. All I can do is sympathise and give you plenty of hand squeezes and hugs Smile

Louey it's nice meeting other parents of asd kids, there's an automatic understanding isn't there, no explaining to be done. Cjay started trampolining the other week, and I started my usual explaining, but the lady said she had an asd dc, and it was so nice not to have to go into details, she knew what he needed Smile
As for Ajay painting ceilings, I just tip him upside down into the paint pot then rub his head over my ceiling Wink

Anyone watching strictly?
