Happy birthday Teddy Smile

moonmrs · 16/07/2014 15:14

Yay happy birthday teddy! Doesn't time fly. Dont blame you getting all emotional I think I'll be the same! J is 10 months old this week so not far behind you.

SabsFabulous · 16/07/2014 19:20

Happy birthday Teddy - some fantastic weather to celebrate Smile

Wow Moon can't believe J is going to be 10 months !

Hi Neeko how are the school holidays going? Saara breaks up next week.

It's Ramadan at the moment so the fasting is tough going in these high temperatures and having to go without water for around 19-20 hours especially as I'm still breastfeeding! But at least I'm not at work.

Waves to everyone else x

Sorry! Silly phone

Neeko · 16/07/2014 21:53

Gosh Sabs that does sound hard work. Take it easy.

Holidays are brilliant, thanks Smile. Lots of chilling and play dates with my girls and loads of cooking delicious meals from scratch. DH is very pleased WinkGrin.
The holidays have made me realise just how manic life was this session. Counting my blessings that I'm back in my old role next session which should hopefully make me a much less shouty mum.
We are also have a very special Emmsy visitor in August with her little sunbeams. Can't wait!!

Neeko · 16/07/2014 21:54

Oh and hi Moon. I hate it when that happens with a post.

CloudOfStarlings · 18/07/2014 22:48

Hi ladies! Sorry to miss Teddy's birthday 4ever hope itwas a lovely day! Can't believe it's been a year!!

My sister had a baby boy this morning by cs. For those of you who remember she had an ectopic pregnancy when j was born so absoutely thrilled for her! Off to see them tonight!

Neeko · 21/07/2014 17:14

Congratulations auntie moon GrinGrin. Fantastic news. Bet the cousins will be great friends in a couple of years. Smile

Hi rumours, you Facebook traitor you! WinkWinkWink Xx

Shroomboom · 21/07/2014 21:40

Fantastic news auntiemoon Grin Enjoy those newborn snuggles with dn, bet he is scrumptious. Your sister must be so thrilled! Lovely to have him and J so close in age Smile

4ever Happy Birthday Teddy! Can't believe he's one already, and sorry to have missed the actual day. What did you do? Hope you all had lots of fun!

Rumours yay to FB! So lovely to see updates and pics Smile Wow re school for AJ, how are you feeling about it?!

Cloud you sound like such a lovely mummy Smile Hope you have lots of lovely times doing fab stuff with your boys this summer. The time goes so fast with them doesn't it Sad

Dh and I watched a film last night - About Time. Anyone seen it? I laughed lots and literally sobbed at the end - it just brought home to me how precious this time with our lo's is, and as soon as it finished I raced upstairs to see my babies Grin
Ds is being delightful at the mo, I opened the fridge earlier to find a little pot labelled 'for the bees' and he's prepared sugar water for them to help them on their way. Dd is a delight, and believe it or not is 6 months old today. I am still bursting with happiness and we are still pinching ourselves!! She is such a darling, I haven't a clue how we got so lucky. She's just started eating solids too, so is a very happy girl and loves her fruit.

Neeko sounds like you're having a lovely summer too, and that'll be wonderful to see MLS. Make sure you do lots of relaxing, sounds like you need it!!

Sabs poor you re fasting and bf'ing, you must be exhausted!! Do you not get dizzy? If I don't eat for more than a couple of hours I am good for nothing, you must be made of strong stuff Grin S and Z are so gorgeous it's great to see all the lovely pics you post on FB.

Right, off to bed now, a big wave to everyone else and hope you're all okay xxx

moonmrs · 21/07/2014 22:32

Newborn snuggles were lovely! Can't believe j was ever that small! Both doing really well hopefully home tomorrow.

Shroom yes dh and I watched that last night too! A real thought provoker I nearly cried many times. It's very rare I'm impressed by a film but I really liked that a lot.

Waves to everyone back soon.

Neeko · 22/07/2014 22:15

I saw that film too. It's very good. Made me send a few soppy texts to family and give my girls and extra squeeze Smile

4everhopeful · 25/07/2014 13:50

Congrats aunty moon! How lovely for your whole family!

So nice to hear from you shroom you sound blissfully content! Can't believe little L is 6 months already!

Sabs feel for you on Ramadan in this heat! Eid nearly here though eh?! Hope your 2 lovelies are good?

Neeko are you still on hols at caravan? Say a big hi to mls for us when you see her!

Rumours nice to 'see' you too! Can't believe you're planning back to school already! We only split up on Monday! (Very emotional I was too!)

Talking of which, cloud I can't imagine how you must of felt at Ds actually leaving his nursery, totally understand the tears! Was bad enough at Summer leaving her lovely teachers just to go up to reception! Can't believe she will be gone all day, seems such a long day, Ill really miss her and Teddy especially will.. They also do a strange thing, nursery is split into 2 classes, in morning and afternoon sessions, reception is just 2 classes, but rather than keep all morning Children in 1 class and all afternoon in another, they mix them all up, which means her little group of friends will be all split up?! Does anyone elses nursery do this? Seems ridiculous to me and I'm also anxious that she has so much else to adjust to, new hours, new teacher, new class, that at least keeping the familiarity of her all the classmates together, and her friends would make sense?!

Just realised I've not even been on since Teddy's birthday! Was brilliant, as much of a whirlwind as his actual birth! Spent the day before at Chessington zoo, just the 4 of us, a lovely birthday morning where Summer kindly 'assisted' with all his present opening! Then her nursery, with immaculate timing, had their end of year family picnic and little song performances from 11-1pm, which was really sweet, but then had to rush home and set up his party which the whole family came too! Was hectic to say the least and I'm still recovering now! Must post some updated pics!

CloudOfStarlings · 25/07/2014 21:39

Ahh 4ever sounds like a lovely day! Yes ds' school were going to mix up all the nursery kids too - I think it's because some new kids come in, and half the nursery class are staying in nursery (ones who started in Jan) so I guess they just mix it all up...it is hard to split them up from their friends though. I feel your pain - only 1 girl from ds's nursery going to his new school (he's moving to go to the Catholic school which didn't have a nursery btw) but I'm sure they'll be fine and make new friends in no time.

shroom OMG YES that film!! I SOBBED at the end...usually when I'm watching stuff with dh I manage to hold the tears in (cos it's a bit weird to be crying next to someone while watching a film!) but I couldn't with this one...just absolutely beautiful and I keep thinking about it all the time and trying to really appreciate the time with my boys. I can't believe your dd is 6 months either!! Wow. You sound so happy :) (and how cute is your ds!!) Thanks for saying I sound lovely but wow, it is exhausting being 'supermum'! Only one week into holidays and my patience has been very tested but we've also had loads of fun :):)

Hi rumours! Ooh good luck with AJ starting school too! Hope he'll settle in well.

moon congrats!! How lovely to have a boy cousin for J so close in age - will basically be like a brother :)

Hope you all have lovely weekends...dh has a week and a half off now and we're going camping on the south coast :):) hoping the sunshine stays!

Hello lovely ladies. Very quiet on here. Hope you are all ok.

Rumours. How's the preparation for school going?

The holidays here are whizzing past. I'm going to work today armed with bin bags to do a big clear out. Not coming home until I've filled at least five and my cupboard looks spacious again. The exam results are out here today so there will probably be lots of people in and I'll spend much of my day chatting Wink

Neeko · 05/08/2014 22:17

Well I only managed 4 bin bags but the exam results surpassed all expectations. So proud of my classes SmileSmileSmile.

moonmrs · 06/08/2014 20:15

I'm a-lurking. Very busy here, we're in the process of buying a house! What with working full time and looking after J I don't have much time left for mn-ing these days (and with work blocking mn Angry and phone internet crap). I am still here though! Hugs for everyone and will be back soon xxxx

Neeko · 06/08/2014 20:59

Hi Moon. Sorry to hear you are so busy but buying a new house is so exciting. What's it like?

MLS and co are coming here on Friday. Excited. Grin

MrsKate · 07/08/2014 19:13

I'm lurking too teds 5 weeks already ConfusedConfusedConfused we have been a way for a few daysto seaside jack loved it

moonmrs · 07/08/2014 20:00

Neeko The house is lovely! Has beautiful gardens, a driveway, 3 bedrooms, doesn't need any work doing it although we'd change the décor, but fully functional so wouldn't do anything immediately. Its near some excellent schools which was a big deciding factor. And its a right bargain! Have always rented so this is a huge thing for us, and it will actually save us money as the mortgage is loads cheaper than our current rent. Have fun with mls say hi to her from me and hope she's ok as we don't hear from her very often.

mrsk nice to see you fellow lurker! Glad to her you've been away, its always good to get out of the house in the early days when everything takes forever! Hope you're finding a routine for you all and Jack is enjoying being the big brother.

to everyone else, wont be on over the weekend but back soon (so I keep saying!)
