WEST LONDON MEET-UP THREAD - APRIL 2007 (Part 2) - Acton to Sunbury everybody welcome

[mellow2]

New thread as the old one has run out of room.

holding monti

pmsl... sorry fox! i was very there!
will you come and visit then?

try and stop me

Monti has changed now and wants to be held and stimulated!!!

Is yowling as I type - now wants feeding every 2.5 hrs (was 3 hourly before)

plus he's huge

great stuff . maybe you should feed him more in one go or the milk isn't enough? are you still bf foxie?

hello all

nanou - best of luck with move sounds exciting

foxie dd was like that she would cluster feed in the evening as well

paddle we had our share of night terrors there are a few sites which deal with it and offer good advise, basically there is not an awfull lot you can do but be there and wait for them t accept comforting. it is much more distressing for us because they seem so upset but it does go away.

it seems we will not be going away after all, think dh is not happy about birthdayoh well i really should have just planned it all a few weeks back

hi to everyone else

Hello all,

I can't keep up with this thread. It moves far too quickly for me. Busy as ever so I'm just popping in for a quick hello.

Great news, Nanou!

Fox,
I don't think dd would nurse in public these days. She's far too easily distracted plus she's only doing one optional afternoon feed in the day.

Nanou - congratulations on dh's job, you're going though!

Paddle - we're considering Oz, you could always come there with us

Sue - I wish I was 37!! I started worked at 12 (a lovely Saturday job!!). So you can work out how old I am!!

Nanou yep still BF - aim is 18 months!!

sfx - I won't let him cluster feed in evenings as I have to feed and get the otghers to bed. He feeds 7pm ish then DH walks the floor with him - with dummy in his mouth (DS2's mouth that is, not DH's mouth!)

I bet you wish dh had a dummy sometimes though don't you foxie?

Puds, you may say that; but I couldn't possibly comment.....

ooh la la...
tell us more tell us more!
pmsl

my god I have turned into such a stress head! Had people picking up ebay items, viewings, dh on phone about properties in s'pore (our condo has fallen through, but he has found 2 others), organizing quotes and appointments for relocation companies , and looking after the boys all by myself. oh and I only got 4 hrs sleep last night due to jet lag .

Mellow did you find what you are looking for? Maybe you could buy some from the usa and get them shipped? I think thats where all the good ones are.

shoves cup of camomile tea @ Quokka

what, I need valium you dill!

I know what you bloody need luv!

yeah, a bag of morphine for Quokka, quick!

hmm morphine .

here's a glass of vodka and red bull quokka!
Cheers!

Oh oh oh... that is fab news, nanou1! I am so please for you and your DH. I know it has been a real struggle for you guys in recent time. Of course, I'm devastating that you are leaving me .

But, I am soooooo looking forward to the house warming party. Can we go skiing in the ALPS? Please please please....

Hey, if you need any company after DH goes to Switzerland, I can come round after work and we can order dinner for delivery while your little princess sleeps.

hi ele. was just thinking about you as i realised i had not replied to your nice email the other day . you ok? you dont hang out much around here these days. would be lovely! still in a bit of a shock tbh, it somehow seems unreal - if that makes sense? am starting to think that we should put dd straight into a local school so that she learns the linguo asap. it is an opportunity after all.

You could always send DD to Switzerland with DH and he can do the childcare run everyday while you party in London.

Are you coming to Quokka's leaving do at the Jonez palace?

lol ele! re quokka's do... my problem is that is it a uni friend's 40 Bday party and we are close. He is organising a camping weekend and it starts on the friday night... but we said we were not sure we would go on the Friday night. need to discuss further with dh. but of course i would love to come

Great idea, quokka. I'll google it.
