Here we are

I think 15 months is 'late' as in everything is aimed at them walking at 9 months, but I don't think it is worrying late IYKWIM? I think if he actually wanted to, and put his mind to it, he could walk, I think a lot of it is lazyness, he crawls at the speed of light, so he thinks if he can get whereveer he want's to go by crawling, he doesn't need to walk does he?! If he hadn't been standing/cruising by now, I'd be a lot more worried, but he's been doing that since 8 months, so I haven't got a problem with it yet!

Your poor DS though, it's not on is it? As you say they should know him better by now. I still worry about DS1 being at school! I remember in the nursery one of the teachers couldn't ever even remember his name, kept calling him by our surname (which is also a boys name) but you'd have thought it wouldn't be that hard after a year of looking after him to remember his name! And his name is Thomas, it's not some fancy-pant's made up name that no-one has ever heard of before!

Anyway, I hope your DS is feeling better today? Could he have the same bug as you?

LOL at 'fancy-pant's made up name'!

Not sure about DS bug..he vomited on Friday night (all over 'each, peach, pear, plum' and the duvet) throwing DH into panic! Queue mummy exiting from relaxing bath at lightening speed and naked streaking around! LOL

Then he was fine on Sat/Sun/Mon till the evening when he vomited again. No D though. I had to have him at home with me on Tues coz nursery won't have him within 24 hours of sickness. He was fine, although tired so went back yesterday. He had normal nappies and ate well right up till the end.

I've not heard from them so assume he's ok so far today. Think I'll phone them...BRB

OMG DIEGE!!!!

I LOVE YOU!!!!

Oh Im a nervous wreck now!!!

I am so going to put my Most Haunted dvds on now!!

Ciaran Fest coming up!!

Shouldn't have phoned. Am crying now.

They said he's ok but not very happy. Keeps crying and being grumpy, it either means he's tired, hungry or unwell and just keep thinking he's be happier with me, but I'm struggling so much - I have to keep running to the toilet and I'm worried its me making him poorly.

Sorry Nat!!!

Bloody MIL has just text me to say that ds likes chips!!!
No wonder ds has had a really bad tummy last night and this moring. Dh was trying to work out why ds's runny poo smelt like a chip shop!!!

Hope he is OK cal

OMG, if Kay get's like that over and autograph, what on earth will she be like when she get's BFP?!!!!

Oh no, Cal, (that was x posted before) is there anyone that could help out? Have they given him something to eat?

I'm still a teenage school girl at heart.

I got another bfn this morning. I dont think I am pg. Dh doesnt either as I have been nice to him!! I got real bad mood swings in the first 8 weeks!

Morning all,

Sorry to hear you are still poorly Cal. I wouldn't worry if your bloods come back normal, gladular fever doesn't always get picked up and sometimes "just a virus" can last for weeks and make you feel rotten.

I am surprised about the nursery's reaction though, surely they could have worked out he was still feeling a bit poorley.

Oh and I am sure there is nothing to worry about on the language fron, children learn to speak at different rates. Does he understand what you say to him, because that means he is learning language too? I think if he is not saying any true words at all my 18mnths then it is worth going to the doctor but before then there is nothing to worry about. Its a long time since I studied who children learn to speak so dont quote me on that!

I'm sure he'll be fine, I said on the phone that he'll only be grumpy if he's tired or hungry and asked what he'd eaten.

He had a milk bottle at about 6.30 this morning, which is unusual but he asked for it, nursery have given him weetabix and toast and ate all of it, and he had a biscuit and some banana at about 9.30. Its lunchtime in about 45 mins.

She said he might be tired, is it ok to put him to bed?

I've told the nursery manager, and his key worker (who is also head of baby unit) that he's to have naps on demand. We had previously been trying to get him down to one nap a day but it just isn't working - particularly since he's been walking. So I confirmed again yesterday to let him sleep whenever he needed it.

Hopefully they'll put him to bed and he'll feel a bit happier afterwards.

I feel like such a bad mum.

I am sorry to her that your DS in unwell. If he's ok then maybe leave him at nuresery as you are so unwell yourself? He would be grumpy and tearful if he was at home with you as well because he is poorly.

I agree, 15 months is late rather than early, but not Late ennough to worry about. My DDs walked at 14 and 12 months, DD1 didn't say much until about 18 months and DD2 hasn't said a word yet.

I'm not telling you what's on DH's our list! Most of it's normal stuff that we just haven't done much of for a while, but there are a couple of things that I won't be sharing!

Now I've written and read it again, I'm wrong, I don't feel like a bad mum.

He'll be fine, I'm being silly coz I'm run down.

Ignore me. I think I'm being hormonal and oversensitive at the moment - even without AF!

Thanks for reassurances. V kind of you all.

Cal, you are not a bad mum! If you were, you wouldn't be so upset and worried now would you?! Let him have his sleep, maybe ring back just after lunch see if he is any better?

Moosma, Spoilsport!!!

MoosMa, I think I've been very naive about your list...

when you said about favours I thought you were planning a wedding...have just worked out that its not what you meant at all!

well, i may be an idiot but its cheered me up a bit!

Calm yourself Kay!!. Just to help with your Cieran fest, he laughed very nervously about the babygrow request and muttered about paternity claims etc . So there you go, I think that counts as sleeping with him . I just laughed and said, 'oh don't worry, she's not the crazy-stalker type, just a big fan' .
CAL: NEVER ring nursery...cardinal rule!!! You onloy end up feeling guilty, and think they sometimes lay it on a bit thick for their own sakes sometimes. Whenever I've rushed there after a call saying dd doesn't seem herself, she's always been laughing and smiling before she's even seen me arrive. Seriously though, you do need to get better. Fingers crossed for the GPs!
Re: walking/talking stage, I was told that the average for walking is 15 months. They refer at 22 months here. Wait til you're on no.3! DD3 walked at 12 months, but is only now stringing a few words together (she's 2.4). They sat it can be because with later siblings, they simply don;t feel the need to form words so much because the others speak for them (plus maybe not as much reading to..certainly the case in this house!!).
Will be dipping in and out today (stop it!) so will try and keep up the best I can

NJ that is very good plan and exactly what I will do.

My HV said my ds is a bit behind with his talking. He is 11 months old and he cant say proper words really apart from Dad, Mum, Dog, No, Hiya and Murph(name of my mums dog)

Diege, I could never be a crazy-stalker person. Dh would never let me.

I met Duran Duran(my fave band) once and couldn't even speak to them let alone be a crazy fan. I just stood there with my mouth open looking like a nutter.

DD2 is 12.5 months and can say ahhhhhhhh when she cuddles - that's it! I'm not going to worry though, I think she's fine and she certainly understands nearly everything I say, expecially if it's 'milk' or 'biscuit'

. I was like that when I met Mick off Brookside . And then started talking at great speed about absolute rubbish
Right, off for tour of dd1's new school for September

Kay at your ds being behind at 11 months - as per my post, my DS says no real words! everything is 'da', he just uses different intonations and from all other things I've read today, he's not behind at 15 months!

Perhaps your HV is a little demanding!

Glad you have a plan Cal It is worrying when you can't be with them, (even when they are well in my case , me? Over protective? Never..... )

Right I really must make a start on the house work.... if I come back in less than an hour, tell me to f off please

Moos, we had single words until dd3 was two, so I really wouldn't be concerned

15 mths is not late to walk, they all do it at different times. Mine have all been between about 12 months but 15 months before they are ready for shoes. I have lots of friends with babies and some dont walk till 18 months. Nothing unusual really. Incidentally children that bum shuffle instead of crawl walk later. Beau crawls and bum shuffles so will be interesting to see what he does.

Natlie hope that G is ok, the nose bleeds dont sound nice poor fellow. Glad you are seeing the GP, it is surprising how much blood they can lose through a nose bleed. Hugo has them occasionally too.

Kay how are the symptoms? Nearly Friday!

How are you all?
