With dd I cut out the evening feed before the morning one cf. Not least because it meant that I got to stay in bed for a few extra mins each morning whilst she fed!

CSWS I couldnt possibly comment about your fango
The girls are busy but W & I are not. If Star is avaliable I could pick her up and come to you then?
Or 50ft if she wants?

Thank you CF. Do stop crying. It will give you very red sore eyes

ronshar · 16/07/2010 21:17

Or yours Pistachio

CantSleepWontSleep · 16/07/2010 21:28

Ooh yes that would be fab ronshar. Then you can cuddle the lovely J before he gets all big and grown up!

StarExpat · 16/07/2010 21:32

Yes I can come then ronshar and csws. Cf let's definitely get together soon!
Cf does S ask for the bf or do you set up for it and offer it to him? You could try just not offering it and if he's not fussed then go with that - and have dp put him to bed... Etc

ronshar · 16/07/2010 21:34

Excellent. I shall write it in my big book of things to remember.
Pistachio. It is birthday central that weekend but none of my children, so I could escape fairly easily.

So who wants to come to CSWS on Monday then?

StarExpat · 16/07/2010 21:41

Me . But please remind me. So it's 26th?

50ftQueenie · 16/07/2010 21:54

Pick me up Ronshar?! Are you mad woman! It will take you half the day to do that trip!

YAY!!!! DH says we can come too if that's ok CSWS? We can bring supplies. Shall I make a delicious dairy free cake? Ollie has swimming 1st thing (he's having intensive lessons as he's still a bit rubbish at swimming) but they finish at 10. M will be in her element with two lovely boys to play with! Oh and she will probably stare and stare and stare at J. She is fascinated by babies!

CF - Oh dear. You have done a fabulous job feeding S for as long as you have and giving him a little brother or sister is a fantastic gift too. Ronsar is right, boys are cuddly little fellas. Even at 7 DS is very affectionate. You'll always be very close and mummies have a special bond with their boys...

Ronshar - You are welcome to come and save me from hell anytime during the holidays. DS is already excited about seeing your DDs, but mainly DD2...

DH is buying a big gun especially because of young men like that

It was disco night at school tonight. He has just realised that he has two pretty girls on his hands. He he. He doesnt know the half of it yet. Poor man.
50ft I would pick you up from the side of the road by the Dartford Tunnel

Star do you want to come in my car? It is pretty much on my way. I will be dropping DD2 off at 10 so could be with you by 11am. If thats any good for you obviously.

50ftQueenie · 16/07/2010 22:10

Awww but DS is only 6. He's still at that girls are yucky stage. DD2 is just fabulous fun!

StarExpat · 16/07/2010 22:11

Perfect. I'll just drive up to the carpark at and leave my car there and go with you if you pass by tyt anyway then no need for directions and getting lost!

ronshar · 16/07/2010 22:14

Thats sounds good Star.
Only joking 50ft. I think DH is preparing for when the girls are older!
DD2 thinks O is the bees knees. Partner in crime

50ftQueenie · 16/07/2010 22:26

M isn't going to be allowed out until she's 30!

CF - I second what the others said. I found I was more upset before I stopped (2m ago) than after! Pops was I'll and v upset one night about a month later so I just let her suckle, it was the only thing that would stop her crying, and the next day the boob I'd used def felt fuller. Freaked DH out a bit but I just wanted to stop her crying, poor love.

Can we have a meet up in or around Warwick again this year? I'd love to see you all.

Honeymoonmummy · 16/07/2010 22:32

Ill not I'll. Bloody iPhone. Star, if u find the brackets let me know..

StarExpat · 16/07/2010 22:42

I just found them. Press the ?.123 then the #+= and you're there! A whole new set of symbols! Yay! Sounds great ronshar but please remind me closer to the date if poss

50ftQueenie · 18/07/2010 16:53

StarExpat · 18/07/2010 19:14

I'm here! Q has been constipated but finally had a poo. It has been causing him so much discomfort and a lot of irritable screaming. Better now.

knickers0nmyhead · 18/07/2010 19:44

Evening all

StarExpat · 18/07/2010 19:47

Q hadn't had a poo for a while but was struggling and tearing up and red faced trying no potty for us. He gets on, says "I pee pee" then gets a piece of toilet tissue puts it in, flushes and claps...
he hides or turns away to poo and says "I poo" when he's done it. And sometimes tells us "I pee pee" but I don't believe him bc of the toilet experiences. He will not be easy to train I think.

Honeymoonmummy · 18/07/2010 22:20

Sounds to me like he's making good progress Star! hi all, been shopping today, pops suddenly decided she didn't like walking on particular floor surfaces, I'm sure this girl is OCD!
