About time I start a thread! Pom poms still shaking, bumps growing, babies and toddlers talk a plenty, while the support, laughs, hand holds and weebling continues...

Happy birthday Summer Smile

Happy Birthday Summer - what a beautiful day it is for it as well Smile 4ever I know I've texted but hope the party goes well.

mls ouch ouch! I remember a friend saying that the afterpains were worse than labour after her DD2. And you are on no 3 so I can't imagine what it feels like. Hope they ease off soon.

cupcake he's gorgeous!!!! Hope you are all doing ok

blue hope you have a lovely party too!

Lurgy here, Oscar has vomiting/diarrhoea and off food. Dr thought it was tonsillitis yesterday so we have 10 days of antibiotics. Temperature seems to have improved this morning but he's not eaten a thing since Weds lunchtime and we are getting through a lot of washing. Washing machine has just gone on the blink which is fabulous timing. I've got a mild dose (hopefully). Bloody annoying as the weather is so nice.

VJayazzle · 26/05/2012 13:09

Happy birthday summer SmileSmile hope you get spoilt rotten. I know ajay has texted you already, but I'm home now so can wish you happy birthday myself Smile

Love the pictures of the wee sjays Grin they are both so beautiful Smile

Well I've just got back from Glasgow having dropped dh off. He's walking the west highland way for the teenage cancer trust. Won't see him til Wednesday and ajay is already asking to see daddy now. But I've got you girls for company Smile

VJayazzle · 26/05/2012 13:10

Bleurgh louey you poor thing, and in this heat with no washing machine, I feel for you xx

Loueytb3 · 26/05/2012 14:23

vjay it's working sort of but it keeps getting stuck and we end up with sopping wet washing. Everytime oscar poos we have more washing cos its not staying in his nappy. At least it's sunny. Washing machine man is coming tomorrow do hopefully it will be fixed. I meant to ask - where is trail magazine in the newsagents? Looked in a large whsmith yesterday but couldn't see it. Is it with the cycling mags or elsewhere?

VJayazzle · 26/05/2012 14:27

Look in the sporty sections I think, it's a walking magazine Smile

cupcakefairy · 27/05/2012 10:33

mls hear you on the afterpains.. ouchy! Mine only lasted about 3 days though thankfully. Never felt them with ds1..bit of a kick in the teeth after just going through labour aren't they!

louey hope the lurgy clears soon, not nice when the weather is so glorious. And hope washing machine gets fixed!

vjay lol at sjays :) love it!

4ever hope dd had fabulous party.. show us the cake! I'm trying to think what to do for ds', maybe Thomas the tank.

moon really hope this sun holds out for your big day!

4everhopeful · 27/05/2012 18:50

Thanks for the birthday greetings & tx you lovelies! Grin

Summer had the most fantastically sunny funny and very happy birthday! Grin Was so so sweet watching her running round our garden playing with all her little friends and cousins, the trampoline and slide took a pounding Grin she had an absolute ball, and was spoilt rotten too! Grin Us adults had a great time too! Dh and I do love to throw a good party if i say so myself!

Shattered last night and spent today chilling in the sun and snoozing, glad to not be manically packing! Told everyone our news yesterday, all family and close friends, and they know the history so no point in waiting, the more prayers and positivity the better... Wink Still not quite sunk in, did a 2nd test today just so I could watch the line develop in front of me! Grin

Ahhhhh here comes my gorgeous 2yr old girl, all grubby and grinning Love her soooooo much, off to have a nice soak in the bath with her... bliss Smile

Loving the photo's of our little boys ladies - soo lovely. Almost enough to make me broody - but then I look at BB and remember never again Smile. However will never stop me loving ickle tiny babies - so lovely and snuggly. And of course hard work....

4ever what a great day for you and Summer. We had a little family do for BB today - well my brother and family came round for a barbie and cake. It's also my eldest nieces 13th birthday next week and so good opportunity to celebrate both. Kids spent the afternoon racing round with the waterpistols - lots and lots of fun

moon 14 days - wow . How exciting - when are we having your virtual hen do? I do remember Mrs Kates - which was a lot of fun. And most of us will be able to drink too!!

vjay notice you also got the free nappies and wipes! Loving anything free here too.

Got to go, got the mother of all ironing piles here but have had to stop to buy some sandals !! long live summer - weather and obviously the birthday girl Grin

My poor darling girl just got stung by a wap on her thumb.. Sad Dh got the sting out, tried cold compress and calpol, any suggestions or tips?

4everhopeful · 29/05/2012 18:04

Have you any piriton to give her or other antihistamine?

4everhopeful · 29/05/2012 18:21

Actually we have... She screamed and screamed intermittently for the first 30mins or so but now seems to have calmed down a bit thanks to the wonderful distraction of c beebies & fingers xd no swelling yet, but she's still cuddled in my arms and very sorry for herself... Sad Choc buttons seemed to help too...

Do you think still give piriton even though done calpol and no swelling yet? Maybe before bed?

Worried about reactions and things Confused

Thanks for prompt response vjay x

OP posts:
VJayazzle · 29/05/2012 18:26

I'm sure she would be swelling by now if she was to have a reaction, I swell straight away. The pain is intense for the first half hour then it subsides, so she's over the worst now. I'm no expert though, only an expert on what happens to me.
Give her a big cuddle from me, brave wee thing xx
