Iggy Oooh, very exciting, hope things are starting to happen! Good luck for whenever it does!
MLS Lovely to have you back from Florida, did you have a good time? Hope it wasn't too hot for you...
VJay Am so sorry to hear about your poor dog How sad. It's so difficult when that happens - I am dreading it with our two. You mentioned your ds wants another dog? Well, when I was a teenager (bit different I know), my dog was run over by a car and died the next day. I was so devastated - he used to sleep in my bed with me, and went everywhere I did. My mum took me out a couple of days later to get me another dog, which was very sweet of her, but because I was so upset at losing Ben, I never really had the same bond with the second. I wish that we'd waited a while and then I could have appreciated the next dog, and have come to terms with what happened. HTH's. How's DS1 now?
Can't believe Ajay's starting to walk btw!
Blue Sounds like you had a fabbo time at your wedding, love the pics! I was very controlled at the one I went to - dh didn't come as he was working, so I had ds with me, and only had about one glass in total as I needed to chase him round and keep him 'under control' (as if!). Not easy in heels and delicate floaty dress
Sabs Thanks so much for telling us about the traditions, very interesting to read! I love the idea of giving the equivalent hair weight of silver to charity. They sound really lovely and very special things to do (with the exception of slaughtering an animal!)
I agree wholeheartedly with MLS on the DVD player front - has been one of our best buys! We use ours on planes a lot too, travelling between here and UK. DS has the routine down to a tee now, and watches for the seatbelt light to switch off so we can get it out! I actually get a bit of me time as a result - fantastic!
So sorry to hear about the stress over your job, you must be really worried about it. They have to take the maternity leave into consideration though don't they? Surely that can't go against you, it wouldn't be legal? Really hope you're keeping your chin up, and good luck with your interview. Am sure you will be brilliant!
Barbie Hope D went back to sleep pronto last night and that you got some rest? Great that you're making progress, despite the setback - you will get there! You must be missing dh - are you able to speak to him when you want?
Cupcake How are you doing? Your dh sounds lovely We didn't dtd for about 6 months if I remember correctly Poor dh! Just too weird though... V exciting that you're thinking of going on hols - deffo go while J is tiny, it's so much easier to travel! With ds we found that the smaller he was, the easier it was, then at about a year it started being tricky, and was literally a nightmare by the time he hit two. Go now, while you can
Mermaid Hello lovely How are you? What have you got planned for ds during the hols? Anything nice? Are you managing to keep your head above water? Bit of a struggle sometimes isn't it
4ever Thanks so much lovely pics, did you get my email?
Re Calpol, I wouldn't give it to her before, as she might not react to the jabs in any way. I think you can give Baby Nurofen from two months (?) and we were told over here that if the baby has a fever or is grizzly in the three days after the jabs, that it will be from the jabs and therefore to give medicine if that is the case. My doctor always said only give something if fever is above 38.5, but we gave ds something after his injections if he only had a slight raise. He was never really affected that much though which was lucky.
Lovely re christening - will have a look at the dress from Next, some of their stuff is lovely!!!
Neeko Lovely that you're planning H's christening for September, v exciting! What will she wear?
Well, things here are ticking over - AF started on Saturday, which was a headf**k as I would've been so panicked and not ready if I had've been pg, but am v worried that I'm not. No win situation really. Think we missed it as I was trying not to ttc, but regretting that in a way now. Feeling rather messed up at the mo, and not sure how to proceed. Due date getting closer, and the three ladies I know all due within ten days of my date are getting bigger Want to hide somewhere until it's all over.
Better go, and sorry I haven't posted more personals. Louey i love your posts, because you always include everyone, it must take you ages to do!
Love to all xxx
