October 2010- now they're chomping, next they'll be stomping

[HarrietJones]

Eek it's going so fast!

Well my night out has been cancelled so it's not an urgent rush round the shops but we are going to have z look for some summery clothes anyway.

Oooh you're making me fancy a camping trip with ds now

I still think of you all by your original names too. I want a new less moany one for me but am lacking inspiration at the moment

I keep imagining I can feel a baby inside me not sure what is up with my insides! Makes me miss being pregnant a little. Although I am loving this stage so much, ds changing every day and such fun company

tf, how about HappyFeet? Then I'll always sing that song when I see your name!

I miss being pg - I absolutely loved being pg. Love being a mum too. It's all good.

I'm sure I can feel similar movements such as my tummy rippling tho knowing my luck the surgeon probably left something behind!

Happy feet was taken so am trying this for size... At least its a bit more positive!

Ds has been refusing a morning nap and having a long one at lunch time this week, anyone else finding the same?

sorry about all the double posting! my phone's fault, am not sure why it does it.
can I ask for suggestions from you for where to look for a nice smart but comfy outfit for ds for my sister's wedding in a few weeks time? can't seem to find anything I like (tried m&s, next, gap, mothercare so far...)

I like the new name! BFF! :)

The Style and Beauty forum on here should be better-able to advise. We're lucky and DS can just wear a kilt. Easy! :)

I'm a bit lazy with wedding outfits as I tend to find my dc just want to running and crawling around outside and are not "on show" much (weddings are a nightmare with 2 under 3)
I go for smartish trousers, a shirt (soft linen) and a waistcoat (again soft). Dd2 also goes in trousers as she is crawling and gets really frustrated in a dress as she keeps putting her knees on it. I've got a few pretty tops for her.
The reason why I say soft is last summer we dressed Ds1 up in national costume and it ended up being one o the hottest days and e tantrummed the whole day, and looked sooooo uncomfortable

dd3 has been in a fight with friends dd. She now has scratches down her face & I'm going into work tomorrow with her! Fingers crossed the go down quick!!!

Bron looked like she'd been in a fight when DH got home on Friday night. Red eye from where she'd rubbed it with food on her hand and then multiple scratches!

BFF- try Monsoon they often have smartish baby stuff. I got some cheap stuff in their sale. www.monsoon.co.uk/children/baby-boy-0-3-years/icat/babyboy/ You could just get a waist coat from there and team it with existing trousers and shirt. Although I'm sure he'd look good in a nice pair of dungarees with a t-shirt. Comfy too.

Did she win?

DS has a horrid cold and as a result has a very snotty nose. The thing is he keeps rolling around on the floor and getting bits stuck to his face (gosh I sound like a right slattern) as a result of his runny nose, he looks like a proper grubby little boy (doesn't matter how many times I wipe him). Also if I'm honest, a bit feral.

BFF I like Next's stuff, they often have smartish baby boy stuff. TBH I'd just buy something cute (probably with ears on it) and wait for DS to rue the day that I dressed him up as some sort of woodland creature.

I've ended up with mastitis, typical really.

No I think she lost :(

Mastitis is shit. Are you managing to feed plenty? It's more efficient than pumping. Are you in work?

Really nervous about meeting new boss tomorrow. Don't want the days I previously requested but not sure I can get them changed

HJ How did you get on at work today? Have you managed to work the days that you wanted to?

Tribble I am working and expressing during the day. It's really tiresome although I am lucky in that I have my own office. Does your DS actually drink the milk that you express? I am only expressing to keep my supply up and even though the childminder offers it DD3 doesn't drink any milk while I'm at work . I try to feed her more 'normally' at the weekend but she expects is less and less. Over the summer holidays I am going to wind down to morning and evening feeds so that the expressing can stop. I'm very sorry to hear about your mastitis, lousy.

BFF I like the name change - I still think of everyone by their 'old' names too though!

NoHun I am missing being pregnant, I love my pregnant belly! I think I've got one more baby in me, but that will have to be my limit. I'm too old and have three already. DH isn't quite as sure am I am though. We will definately have to wait a couple of years. You are very welcome to have my period for me if you like so that you can conceive!

Mocking Your poor DD with her eyes and scratches.

~~~working at home is very good for catching up on mn!~~~

Spring- dh is more positive than me about another baby. I'm not sure I'm physically up to it. Work are putting in a assessment fore due to still having SPD as it's going to limit my work. I went through every combo of days & requested different ones to my original request. They like it cos I'm working busy points & split days. I like 1 in 1 off!
New boss was nice , dd3 was v good & charmed everyone, only issue may be expressing. No where has a lock. Bosses office best option( good blinds)!& she offered to let me use it as long as there's no meetings. I'm hoping to get away with once a day ( how often does anyone else?)

Ooh didn't think of monsoon, thanks mocking! I would be inclined to just put him in comfy dungarees myself but my dad and sister have gone at me so much to get a smart outfit. Am sort of tempted by the animal costume idea though trib

Sorry to hear about the mastitis tribble :( .
I am down to just morning and evening feeds. ds has formula in the day. I couldn't cope with the idea of expressing when starting a new job, I never got on well with it anyway.

Glad new boss is nice hj

Good to hear from you spring flowers

spring yeah ds takes milk from others when I leave him, he's had a few funny moments with the bottle bt generally he's been ok with it.

hj no, I've mostly been lying on the sofa today if I'm honest.

Sorry to hear about the mastitus Trib. When you express, towards the end do you press firmly on your breast one press at a time in a circular direction to get the last of the milk out? It might help so a blocked duct doesn't happen.

Nohun- did you say you were doing EC? We just sit dd3 on the potty before her bath cos she kept weeing on us and she sits & watches for the wee now. Dh is convinced more than me that she is aware what is happening

Hi
What is EC? And who is BFF please :)

Elimination Communication :) and no idea

Tiredfeet happyfeet was already taken and she wanted something more positive.
I'm not doing EC with Dd but I suspect she will be quicker at potty training, she is with everything else

Ah thanks. I didn't think about BFF standing for somethingelse long day!

trib before expressing shower head on the breast really helps. Mastitis is rotten. Hope it shifts quickly.
