Morning all!
Just a quickie to say hello to all. I've just had a decaff coffee. I think my body is rather thick as it seems to give me the same sort of buzz, even though I know it hasn't got caffeine in. V odd.
Wow, Veg - that's a lot of breakfast. I'm lucky if DD1 eats 3 raisin wheats and half a piece of toast! No wonder she's in 25th centile! She weighs 1 stone 10. Not a lot. DD2 also in 25th centile. Oh dear. Mini children! DD1 still in most of her 12-18 month clothes!
Ooh, DD2 shocked herself and me this morning, by rolling from her back to her front. She started doing front to back when she was 6 weeks old! And now back to front at 5 months. V proud. DD1 rolled back to front at 8 weeks, stopped at 14 weeks and didn't do any other form of rolling til she was about 8 motnhs old!
I forgot to tell you all a boring story, but Summer - I feel horrible for you having such a sh*t MIL. I am v lucky with mine. She is a gem. Sometimes she drives me insane, but she's basically a good, kind woman. I think I said this before, but they had a daughter who died when she was 5, before DH was born. V sad and they are amazing about it and to have coped. They do talk about her, which is lovely. She was called Penny and died of Leukemia. V sad as these days she would have survived.
Anyway, DH's uncle told me that DD1 looks very like Penny, but he couldn't say it in front of DH's parents because it might upset them. I was talking to MIL, who I am quite close to and she was talking about Penny, so I asked her if what the uncle had said was true and she said "Oh yes, she looks so like her, it's amazing. She's incredibly beautiful and we love her so much." I nearly wept. She was terribly worried that I would be upset in case history repeated itself with Izzy. But actually, I don't really believe in that sort of thing. In fact, am really touched that she looks like Penny and am really really glad as it makes them so happy. It's lovely.
Ooh, have nearly brought self to tears!
Off to Islington this morning as DD1 in nursery.
