oh Moon I'm so sorry. I completely understand that this thread is a bit full of big and saggy panters. I hope you can come back to us soon and hopefully join us saggy panters.

Just flying past as i can hear Isabelle waking up downstairs and she'll be demanding her feed. MLS I've updated my profile and will sort out some pictures as soon as I can. I'm not putting any on facebook, I know my profile is secure but I've told all the relatives that they aren't allowed to put pictures of my daughter on Facebook so I shouldn't either.

Barbie very cute pictures!!

GracieGirl · 26/02/2010 20:59

The photos are on!

MummyLovesSadie · 26/02/2010 21:01

OMG GG another one with a fine head of hair! What beautiful pics, she looks so contented. I'm envious of anyone who has a baby with hair as dd was bald until she was about 18 months & even now she she's got about as much hair as a toothbrush!

Neeko · 26/02/2010 21:49

Hi lovely chatty ladies.

Moon so sorry AF got you, Really hope you're ok and back with us soon.

Jools Nice to hear from you too.

Barbie We want the details! So lovely to hear from you and Devon is gorgeous. Sorry you've had such a difficult time but sounds like you're dealing with it. Take care.

Gracie another one with a gorgeous girl. She looks so alert. Totally understand about not wanting to post pics. When DD was born someone wanted to put her pic on the school website and I almost ate them!

Curly You soo deserve the weight loss. I'm actually surprised you put much on as you were so poorly throughout.

Vjay stop being so hard on yourself. The men in your life love you exactly as you are and it'll come off in time.

Blue Hope the memorial service was ok and B behaved for his gran.

Cupcake Fingers crossed for Monday. Finish the series of Greys to keep you distracted. It's addictive n the same way as Ebay! I think we're on series 5.

Iggy Yay for flutterings! Are you ready for the next size in the Royce bras yet? Feel like my boobs have gone boom in past few days

MLS Sorry to upset you but I'm planning on getting a good 6 inches chopped off DD's hair soon. Long hair is lovely, except for the washing, conditioning, combing out the tangles and keeping it tied back to try to avoid the nursery head lice.

My midwife phoned me this morning to say that I had been booked into the Health Visitor's clinic instead of her's on Wednesday which meant I got another home visit today. All fine with LO and definitely facing the right way now.

On a sadder note, a good friend's mum died suddenly last night. Spent half my time at her house as a teenager and can't believe she's gone

GracieGirl · 26/02/2010 22:08

Neeko sorry to hear about your friends mum .

Blue I so know what you mean about people behaving around your Mum, my Mum is the same. Isabelle instantly stops crying when my Mum tells her to and Mum can even change her vest without getting a tantrum! Its a good thing my Mum is retired and only 10 mins away.

MLS the one in the bath in hospital is my favourite - such big cute eyes!

4everhopeful · 27/02/2010 07:45

Morning! Cant sleep so am attempting a 'quick' post!

Neeko mainly cos wanted to let you know something, but just read about your friends mum, I am sorry.. I just wanted to tell you that Boots has a half price deal on Tommee Tippee closer to nature breast to bottle breast pumps and bottles! I got the steriliser kit in that range at Sainsburys last week as a 1/3 off, but yesterday picked up some bottles at Boots & now DH is getting me the electric breast pump today after he finishes work, its from 80 to 40! (my pound sign doesnt work!) Thought, must tell Neeko! Barbie lovely to see you back sweetie! Congratulations again to you & Mrbarbie! Devon is absoluetly stunning and I love both her names! Sorry to hear about the headaches, Ive also heard thats a side effect of epidural.. Hope they subside soon.. Whens your mum & dad coming? Must be soon? Im looking forward to your birth story! The more info the better as far as Im concerned! Also, bless you for thinking of me when you are on your baby moon! You're very sweet! x

Gracie Isabelle is another gorgeous girl! You must be so proud! I dont think I congratulated you on your fabulous birth, I want one like that! Also glad to see you still managing to post & keep us all updated! Im finding all the advice flying round on here invaluable though Im getting a bit confused too!

MLS are you still beaming my lovely? I lookedd at your profile too and bless your bean in every sense of the word!

Blue sorry to hear about your friend too.. Its so tragic when they are taken so long, specially that bloody disease cancer, my poor bro was only 40, he should of been 53 on March 10th week after my birthday.. Hope the memorial went ok...

In fact hope both Blue and our lovely *Vjay arent being too affected by that awful weather up there in not so bonny Scotland? Im also a facebook cowad, dont like teh idea of old faces that I want to say in my past stalking me tracking me down! Had friends where exes put friend requests in and just feel uncomfortable with whole thing! MN is my one guilty pleasure! DH and I enjoy our bubble when at home together too much, so dont want to be tied to the net!

Moon awww hon just crap AF came, I was really hopeful for you too... I understand teh need to step away, I know all the baby talk must be a bit much, I felt exactly the same, after my 4th MC last Jan, it took 8 months just like Curly, to fall with this blessed miracle and each month I got a BFM got harder... Take solice with your lovely DF

Jools nice to see you pop your head round the door and ditto all of the above.. I so want your time to be soon.. Have you thought of acup? How about a nice loooong hol with DP? You work so hard..

Calling Mermaid...... Missing you lots sweetie, hope some RL respite is doing you good and you are not weebling away under a shell somewhere? If you are, plese dont weeble alone & come and offload? x

BQ sorry in my self pitying state the other day I missed your post! Good to hear you are up and at 'em! Pole dancing sounds like fun! My ex bf actually did it (one of many reasons she is now ex bf, had severe personality transplant since we first met at 9!) it is great for muscle toneage tho, and a nice non sleazy class where you keep your clothes on would be great fun! Will do wonders for that pelvis floor!

Iggy yay for flutterings! Its amazing isnt it?! You do notice a pattern.. Our LO was super active acrobactic for a few days, then she has a coupld of days intense rest! Did panic me at first but so long as I feel something! Doesnt have to a gymnast every day! However whenever I splurge on baby stuff as we did yesterday (see below! ) I need to feel her as much as poss & panic when I dont that I shouldnt of brought so much! Oh the paranoia goes on!

Hey Cupcake lovely, sorry contact has been lapse of late! Blummin work You must be entering 3rd trimester now?!? Hope you are doing OK? Fingers crossed that the househunt is succesful on Monday! I have also been splurging on baby stuff! After my massive oh woe me ness i did retail therapy yesterday and got some adorable piglet bootees and babygros, and oh so cute 'daddys girl' & 'mummys flower' tee shirts at mothercare, as well as muslin squares (always think of Barbies muslim squares ) then 6 babygros & mitts at sainsburys 25% off sale, as well as said bottles! Then we went to mamas and papas, initially just to use loo, but saw our pram system in a different design, not the black & white polka dot but grey larger polka dots for 200 cheaper! It does look bit more modern than the other, so think may go for it, also after MIL initially said she would pay for it, she ended up giving us less than half the cost in the end as BIL and his GF having baby at same time means she now has too buy 2 of everything! Think we will go for it, 200 could go on so much else, with MIL 300 and the HIP grant 190 thats it paid for! Have to be sensible about it!

Sooo much for quick post! Really should be sleeping still, was wake before DH alarm went off mind racing.. Did teh same on thurs night after feeling incredibly sorry for myself and absolutely awful - I def have SPD my left side of pubic bone is very painful whenever I move, my ribs ache, my back aches, my ankes are swollen and my thrush is roaring, this is all due to working as my body has been used to the R & R Ive (been lucky to have) throughout this pregnancy. My main self pity o thurs was fear that Im undoing the hard work of early months by putting so much pressure on my body, as well as the mental pressure of facing redundancy & leaving my great job, & juggling work & money worries.. I woke at 2am on thurs night and couldnt get back to sleep til 7am, so took friday off work and had a bit of a lie in, then had our retail therapy session! One of the many things I was worrying about was getting everything we need for the baby while Im still earning! Hence the splurge!

Anyway, am gonna go back to bed & try and doze til DH back at midday, then a lazy weekend for us, will only work mon and half days weds & fri so that should help this crippling SPD, cant walk, turn in bed, climb stairs, get dressed.. Hope to feel better for birthday on thurs, feel more like 55 not 35!

Love to all x x x x x

4everhopeful · 27/02/2010 08:51

Still awake - having just blitzed all housework downstairs in kitchen & front room, despite strict instructions to stay in bed from DH! Hope you are all having nice lie ins! Realised I forgot to mention our splurge yesterday also consisted of a gorgeous fairy playmat from mothercare reduced to 30 (need a pound sign!) some bibs, and a value pack of mahoosive night/t shirts for the hospital from sainsburys for a fiver! Also mum brought baby some cute little pink converse style pumps which are by DH baseball glove and look so teeny and cute! Anyway - back to bed for real this time! x x x x x

Neeko · 27/02/2010 09:39

Morning all. Thought i'd give you a laugh at my Barbie moment (sorry Barbie know you are a sensible mummy now. We need a new name for our blunders) I posted last night saying my boobs had taken on a huge spurt. was a little alarmed actually as already wearing a G cup and didn't want to go any bigger. Anyway, went to put bra on this morning and noticed another one lying on the floor. [messy-cow emoticon]Turns out I'd been wearing a bra all day yesterday that I grew out of 6 weeks ago!!! Boobs back to "normal" size today in a bra that fits - phew!

4ever well done on the baby splurge. Sorry to hear that you are feeling so sore. Don't mean to be overbearing but I'm a little worried if you take it too easy you are actually making things harder on yoursef and your body. Swimming definitely helps my SPD (front crawl, not breast stroke) as does bouncing on my ball. Would probably also help the rest of your muscles to stretch out a bit too. Just make sure you do some gentle exercise everyday. I also think work in the longterm is good for the emotional weebles as it provides a distraction from all the twinges and pains that are a normal part of pregnancy. Again, I don't mean to offend but don't want you to hibernate too much. They do say that you have to keep your body moving to prepare it for labour. (Please don't be offended!)When you get the hypnotherapy cds you'll probably find tehy help with the mind racing too.

Gracie FWIW that's my favourite pic of your girl too.

4everhopeful · 27/02/2010 10:21

Hey Neeko bless u, im not offended, did have same chat with doc (tho she was a bit judgemental & did upset me cos made me feel like sloth!).. Thing is i kno my body well & pre preg ran 5ks, did pilates, rode bike, did all mums housework as well as own, worked 35hr wk & generally lived at a million miles a min! It was mc consultant that stressed to do nothing more strenuous than a gentle walk, take it very easy & get signed off for first few months.. In those scary early wks i was afraid to do anything to put the preg at risk after the horrific prev times, but have since found my own pace, as said i just blitzed my housework, i was on a shopping marathon yesterday, i just potter at my pace, i get lots of sleep, i stay chilled cos i kno im doin baby good.. When i do too much, & bein back at work, waking up at 6am & sitting at a desk, is the only time iv suffered with these aches & spd has gone from sporadically uncomfortable, to constantly unbearable.. (As also with the thrush, backache, shoulder ache & swollen ankles..) That in turn is what brings out the weeble as im used to feelin physically well so worry about affect on baby. My mind has been alot healthier & in control of (understandable) moments of anxiety, when not working, as trying to take on our new database, new manager & team, whilst facing redundancy & obvious worry about security & covering mortgage, alongside 80 of my colleagues that iv worked with for 14yrs would stress anyone, let alone in my position! There are about 6 people signed off with stress due to it all as it is! I actually think iv coped with all this extremely well, sorry for long winded justification, but as said doc 'was concerned' & made me feel lazy & slothlike which couldnt be further from the truth & i ended up in tears & it has bugged me eversince.. Any woman desperate to be a mum who has had 4mc would be understandably cautious & many would resign to complete bedrest for 9months! I havent gone to that extreme, im from a family of fighters & come out stronger for it!

cupcakefairy · 27/02/2010 13:52

Afternoon lovely girls. Thanks all for the good wishes about the house..we're crossing everything it's the one too. It's just up the road from our mw friend too (my Mum's best friend) so as I can't have my Mum nearby she'd definitely be the next best thing which would be so lovely!

Gracie GORGEOUS pics of your girl..that bath one is just ADORABLE!

Neeko lol at the bra thing and I sympathise on the long hair thing! I used to wear mine so long when I was little and hated having it detangled so I always just went round looking like a right scruff ...go get it cut off! (sorry MLS )

iggy yay for movement! Mine is definitely in a pattern too, much more active first thing in the morning & last thing at night.

moon I'm sooo so sorry honey absolutely gutted for you. Please don't stay away too long.

4ever loving the sound of all the splurging!! Thanks for the Boots tip; I might pop in later to look at their stuff. Sorry to hear about all the weebling but I think you're doing just great..relax and know that your lo is safely tucked up in there and you're doing everything you can for her. Quite of you being able to buy all pink stuff (the converses sound gorgeous!) - we're glad we don't know the sex but do wish I could buy some gender specific stuff.
Liking the sound of your nighties and tees for hospital too...someone on my an thread recommended buying super cheap dark towels from asda or similar to take too, ones you don't mind getting all dirty & maybe throwing away! (I put my fingrs in my ears then and ignored any talk of stained towels )

Ok, I have 2 really questions.
-Do newborns need bibs? Is it just for them drooling or does breastfeeding/formula feeding create that much mess??

-Are babies supposed to wear those short-sleeved, legless vests under a sleepsuit and any other clothes? Just wondering how many vests to actually buy!

4everhopeful · 27/02/2010 16:27

Thanks Cupcake sweetie, my preggers buddy! Yea, I think I can pat myself on the back the majority of the time! The towels are a good tip! Your questions arent silly & funnily enough my good BF who told me about the Tommee Tippee Boots deal, said exactly the same just yesterday, when she had her DS, now 6 (and her DD is same age as my bump - 26wks!) she just put her DS in babygros & didnt realise you DO need a vest all the time as well! She was advising me on all the things I need! Also, after buying 7 bibs (for 3quid!) at sainsburys, I also wondered if they still need them for BF?!? I presume so!!!

Funny moment of the day - I only truly understood what Braxton Hicks are this week and pointed to DH as my tummy went tight & he could feel bubbas shape! He came in the room afterwards and made me nearly fall on the floor laughing! I have added a pic to my profile for you too see why!

Neeko · 27/02/2010 17:13

4ever Great pic of your DH Glad you're not offended and never doubted for a moment that you know your body best but feel I couldn't have been a good friend without raising my concerns. Sounds like you have it all in hand though.
Thanks again for the tip on the breast pump. Gonna stick with the Medula one cos know it worked for me last time and already bought the bottles to fit the pump.

Cupcake Glad my bra moment made you
My DD never needed bibs whilst exclusively BF but then she never spit up until she started on solids either. I'd invest in a pile and be prepared. Totally recommend the velcro fastening ones as the tying ones are a faff and some babies hate the over the head ones.
As for vests I'd get at least a dozen as sometimes they get messy several times a day. Top tip, if the vest gets really messy from an explosive nappy cut it up the front with scissors and peel it off and throw it away. Far easier than trying to avoid getting poo on baby's head as you take it off normally. (and much less traumatic for you!)

MummyLovesSadie · 28/02/2010 07:12

Neeko G cup.....OMG!

4ever lol at your dh! If I were a bit further along I'd buy one of those breast-pumps but at 8+3 I can't justify it really. Having said that I am in maternity wear already!

Cupcake I'd recommend buying cheap mahoosive pants from primark to take to hospital. They are better than the disposable ones & believe me you will be chucking them away after the birth! Yes to bibs from me - I love the tommee tippee ones. It's the soft milk-bibs you want. I'm going to sell some of dd's old stuff on Ebay in the coming few days, it would be funny if you bought some of it! You'd know it was me as my Ebay name is the same as my mn name.

Awake early again. Weird dreams all night & growing cramps waking me up.

VJay · 28/02/2010 10:02

lol at your dh 4ever, very good

neeko lol at your bra size , and thankyou for your lovely words, you are right, my boys don't care what size I am, and I reckon it will come off once feeding stops.

cupcake ds1 had bibs when he was a baby, I think it was cos he was bottle fed and made more mess, as Ajay hasn't needed a bib til weaning, plus a little more now to collect all the drool that comes with teething.
Ajay always wears a 'short sleeved legless' vest under his clothes, but he is a winter baby, as was ds2, I wouldn't know what to do if they had been summer babies.

Ajay is poorly again, he has another cold! He slept ok last night, but just likes to snuggle with me during the day, which is rather nice

VJay · 28/02/2010 10:03

gracie lovely pics, she is gooorrrggeeeooouuusss

mermaidspurse · 28/02/2010 12:30

barbie it is so lovely to think of you all cuddled up with little devon so pleased for you all. It does sound like a leak, my little sister had a leak from hers and couldn't sit up without a terrible headache, couldn't look at natural day light etc. I think they 'filled' the hole with some of her blood and half an hour later she was a transformed woman.

Hopefully your mum is with you /nearly with you with bulging granny suitcases and you can rest lots.

gracie your little one has been here before glad you are ok big kisses from me x.

vjay poor wee ajay, not surprised he has another cold with all that weather you have been having. Your dhs snow shovel was a good buy! Hope ajay feels better soon.x

cupcake so hope you get your nest. imo warmer weather babies don't need vest and babygrow and also disposable pants are a right of passage get some they are lush, if nothing else for the comic aspect they provide!

kate congrats on your maternity leave. thats been a long time coming you must be cream crackered.

4ever afternoon sunny lady Back in the dark ages when I had my ds I don't recall doing anything overly different from my everyday activities. I think an active work/ home balance is ok. Probably the only thing I actively did was lift a cup of raspberry leaf tea in the last few weeks and walk waddle a lot, I did a lot of that! and ds was born like a rocket. Specialists think that gloved hands and cotton wool approach is effective for recurrent mc. I am thinking that obviously what you have been told and done has worked

bakingqueen yeah to the pole I take it you have not started another course of clomid lovely lady? I am so thinking positive thoughts for you and sending you a massive gold star.xxx

moon mother nature sure has a shitty sense of humour. However the sap s rising spring is springing and I know you will get your bfp, ok not this month but it will lovely. Hang onto that lovely df and all that is sparkly and it will work out.xx

jools much thoughts to you, dp and your poor friends. I am hoping that you are as ok as you can be right now. Lots of love.xx

I'm sorry I have missed loads and am a very bad mermaid. but love to all, kisses for all nephews and nieces especially little Devon - never going to think about the border the same again!

MrsKate · 28/02/2010 12:43

hi all

hope everyone is ok

im getting. (trying to be ) organised ive packed my bag and washed all newborn baby clothes its getting me all excited .

xxxxx love to all xxxx

barbie1 · 28/02/2010 14:15

hello

one handed typing so cuse any mistakes!!!!

i am writing my birth story for you all, im saving it in word and will post as soon as i finish....its going to be mammoth!

Devon is a week old today! cant beleive how fast this week has gone..or how slowly it has gone at times too I have learnt so much in the last week i think my head will explode!

Firstly i wanted to say that i have noticed the thread is very baby oriented at the mo and cant blame the small panters for feeling a little left out Please please stick around girls, it will be your time soon...i know where you are all coming from but would hate to think that you feel pushed out with all the baby talk etc....please promise to keep in touch and let us know how you are all doing. Big hugs to jools moon bq and mermaid. As i always have said, we started together and will finish together!

my family have arrived and with them two huge cases of clothes and things...its like christmas all over again!

everything is going well....Devon slept for 7 hours last night and only woke cos i prodded her to make sure she wasnt dead
she is cluster feeding, 7 hoursworth yesterday which was draining but the long sleep made up for it last night.
Im getting worried though cos she sleeps so long, the nurse said its fine to leave her as she is getting enough while cluster feeding while another said to wake her every three hours

4ever at dh.....oh and muslim squares are great, no need for a bib, just use a muslim! ha ha

mls i cant help but smile when reading your post...you just sound happy, if that makes sense? how is dh now he is back

neeko lol at the bra thing! my friends all call silly moments barbie moments quess its going to stick!

Ill be back, my arm is numb!

GracieGirl · 28/02/2010 20:27

Hello! Just a quick visit...

I'm plodding along with copying the Natal Hypnotherapy CDs when Isabelle lets me. So far got six copies of CDs 1 and 2 but only one copy of CD 3, I'll hopefully get a few more done tomorrow and then get them posted to you all. I'll do some spares in case anyone else wants some CDs.

MummyLovesSadie · 28/02/2010 20:28

Barbie talk about leaving us in suspenders! Lucky you, seven hours sleep = happy mummy! Dh has been working from home lots since he's been back, he has the next two days off which I'm glad about. I have my booking appointment with the midwife on Tuesday - that will be a milestone for me.

Mermaid you have been missed.

Vjay poor little Ajay. Have you got a baby nose clear?

Brief post again from me as I'm feeling so yuk.... not complaining though!

MummyLovesSadie · 28/02/2010 20:31

Gracie you are very kind doing the cd's. Can I expect a birth like your then??

bluesatinsash · 28/02/2010 20:39

Hey everyone,

Boys are tucked up in bed, DH is tucked up playing his PS3, all is well with the world

Saying that had a terrible day with Ben, he was really unsettled all day and I'm wondering was it due to me having glass of wine on Friday night? . Vjay have you experienced this?

anyway,e nough about me, catch up time .

Moon - big hug honey. Sorry to hear TEW has reared her ugle head and your body was giving off such good PG symptoms - its so bloody unfair. We're all here for you whenever you want us x

Barbie - you sound like you are coping brilliantly, gold post-natal star for you! You do what feels right for you re: feeding Devon, she is only a week old and probably still sleepy so make the most of it . I was always quite strict about feeding both boys every 3 hours regardless if they were sleeping but they rarely slept past 3 hours anyway.

Looking forward to reading your birth story, sounds like you went through the wars - I can relate! As a veteran of two c-sections I can say that you will get back to normal, it may take a while but you will. I remember being on holiday the year after DS1 was born and having on my skimpy tie at the side bikini and you would never have known I had a section. The scar fades to silver and is so low that even the skimpiest of pants/bikinis hide it. Just take things slowly and after about three weeks you will feel a bit more human . Have fun opening all those presents from your family!

Gracie - Isabelle is just beautiful, you must be proud as punch! My Mum is also retired and lives approx. 7 mins walk away from me. She is my life saver, comes over every day and I would be lost without her help just now as having two DS's and a house to run is bloody hard work!

cupcake - I would invest in bibs yes but more importantly thousands of muslin squares!! BF babies may not spit up much during a feed but it tends to dribble out afterwards and they can have the odd projectile so never be more than a metre away from a muslin square! DS1 was a summer baby, from teh hot summer of 2006 and sometimes all he wore was a wee vest as it was so warm. In fact one night he went to bed in just his nappy, elbeit wrapped in his shawl. M&S and Mothercare do the softest vest IMO but was also given babygrows from Asda and they were lovely and soft too. Fingers crossed on your house x

Vjay - sorry to hear Ajay has the cold, but at hime snuggling into you today.

4ever - slowly but surely honey, slowly but surely. The nursery is taking shape, just lovely. Big hand holds still though, your DD might be born on my DS1's birthday!

MLS - LOL at your DD's hair being like a toothbrush! Why are you putting her clothes on E-bay, this baby might be a girl you know!

Neeko - I was thinking of you yesterday as I srted Ben's clothes into 0-3/3-6/6/9 etc. in his wardrobe,can't think why . What's your plans for this week? Still feeling your having a boy BTW .

Mermaid - lovely to hear from you honey, have you made appointment yet?

I can hear DH boiling the kettle so time for me to sign off and shasay downstairs to watch Lost and cherish our 'couple' time before it all kicks off in the morning .

Waves and love to everyone else x

Neeko · 28/02/2010 21:11

Hi all.
Hope you've all had a lovely, restful day. We went to visit our friends who had the prem baby. He's now been home a few weeks and is a healthy 6.5lbs. He's utterly gorgeous too. My friend and I were talking baby equipment (as you do) and I told her my breastpump was knackered. She gave me a Medela Swing one as the hospital gave her 3 and can't take them back depite the fact she's only used one. Feeling very lucky and grateful.

Mermaid Nice to see you posting, though wish you'd say what's going on in your life. Hope you're ok.

Vjay Hope Ajay is ok and sleeps tonight. Bet you're right about when feeding stops. My parents just got back from Ballater and I couldn't believe how much snow they had when they showed us video footage. It's like a totally different world.

MrsKate nice to hear you nesting. Have you looked at the spinning babies website to try to turn Boris? There is a technique that they will try about 37-38 weeks whilst scanning you and my MW says they give you some kind of relaxant to make it more comfortable. Swimming is supposed to help too.

Cupcake Have my fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Blue Clearly I trigger mental pictures when you're doing anything a control freak would do! Sounds like your mum is a great help. Mine has just cut down her hours at work so she can be available for the 1st few weeks.

Glad I gave you all a laugh with my comedy boobs and bra story. I'll be the one laughing when I make money as a Dolly Parton lookalike when my milk comes in!

VJay · 01/03/2010 10:05

Morning lovelies, Ajay is a half today , yes 6 whle months have gone by already

mls thanks for the info, I haven't got anything like that will look into it

blue no I've not experienced Ajay being unsettled after a glass of wine, I only tend to have a small one occasionally and it's always been ok.

barbie looking forward to your birth story. Re the feeding and sleeping, all sounds normal to me. Ajay seemed to feed constalnly during the day but was far more seetled during the night, which makes it a lot easier to cope with.

Gotta go, Ajay is a wailing, oh and feeling a lot better now

mermaidspurse · 01/03/2010 15:25

happy half to ajay
glad he is feeling better vjay neeko I am a woman of mystery

barbie those of us still kicking our heels are all happy for you all.
You know that lovely lady. I have a lovely sense of completed circles and new little ripples spreading out.
Please don't stop talking babies cos you are all having them

But we/I can't always bounce about and sometimes if we dissapear for a little while it's only to try and scrape ourselves up again.
Right I am off to take 4 boys to the under 11s skate night. It wil be cold there will be shit coffee, noise and general maleness and utterances of 'look at my olly'said for the 100th time.

vjay I will be back later to have some of that half a year cake
