[katzglitterytree]

hello all

come and join us new and old junies

snowfall i do appologise hunny pc was playing up im so sorry.

Giddy heyy there you are hugsss im glad your feeling better today, and jess is ok, and you can post whatever you want on here Giddy i think we know each other abit more now, so please share im glad you feel you can.

Ive been very weepy again today, and most of the week all of the sudden my tears come, i really miss my mum.

I never told you mums but i was holding my mums hand as she passed away, i felt her go, and let her go, but i was about 5weeks pregnant at the time thats why my baby is a miracle to me, i think my mum sent him to me.

My typos are so shocking, so sorry. They're legendary in my personal life, are they legnedary here yet?!

OH EYM x-post so sorry. I posted a poem, well part of one, for you earlier in the week. Did you see it?

Cratchit - you've not gone too far. So sorry you and your baby went through that. Agree that loss experiences/separation anxiety must be the reason for the superstitious feelings about our children. Doesn't seem to make it any easier to be rational about things though.

Giddy - glad to hear Jess is happier.

We're in the UK for a bit, visiting my mother and other assorted rellies. It's fantastic being able to go to Mothercare and Boots and buy good, cheap baby stuff. There's loads of posh stuff in France, but it's really hard to find good quality basics like bibs and sleepsuits that aren't horribly expensive.

ds still sleeping through and am just starting to believe in it.

Also first tooth - and that reminds me - Skyler and Katz (and anyone else with toothy babies) WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US ABOUT THE TEETHING NAPPIES? .

ds now sitting for as long as he likes without tumbling over. Am trying to enjoy this stage, as he can sit and play by himself for 45 minutes or so, but can't move at all from where I've put him [evil jailer mum emoticon]. I've been having hot tea every morning.

I'm sure it used to take more than that to make me happy, but now it feels fantastic.

Hope everyone is feeling good and festive.

Erm Miss whiplash lol wonder who that can be hugsss

Im feeling better this morning i think im just so tired and stressed at the moment ive got hostesses comming out of my ears, and chaising them round for orders grrrrr drives me mad, William is so unsettled waking up 3 times a nite, i dont think he actually hungry but very unsettled so i need a break.

Crachit im sorry i didnt read your poem hunny i knew it would make me cry when i feel better i will thank you.

You see if my lovely mum was here, she would come and stay and say, Right im taking will out give you two a break, she would here inbetween visiting gillian we would both get loads of support.

My siters all live quite far from me, so a lot of planning is required when i want a break.

anyway im off out tonite god help em lol thats my friends and i dont feel guilty at all. I will be on that kareoke first lol.

Giddy its row row your boat gently to the shore
if you see a croccodile dont forget to scream.

i think lol thats what i remember

Hello all,

Sorry I haven?t been on for so long, quick catch up time

Welshie, lol at your DD and the non-existing chocs. It is amazing how young we are when the all consuming desire for chocs takes over our lives and to what lengths we will go to in order to get it.

Snowfall ? that?s so funny about your DD and rice cakes. Cant say I blame her. They do taste like polystyrene to me.

Trib, I am so sorry to hear about your poor friend. How awful for her. Oh, and I am so sorry to laugh at your sliding pavement incident, but that is just so hilarious. So so sorry (slightly shamefaced)

Bubb, great news about your mum. Really pleased for you.

Giddy, there is nothing I can say that all the other lovely junies haven?t already said, so I just wanted to send you enormous hugs from the jonah household.

everything fine here, but must dash as DS has just come home with DH and needs feeding...hope you are all well....

Hello
Cratchit and Giddy - This is so the place to write that sort of stuff down. Where else? I gives me a sense of perspective too and we all need reminding to appreciate the people we have sometimes. I know how lucky I am, but it doesn't hurt to have it made clear every now and then to stop me taking things for granted.
I went flying on Friday. DH booked me a flying lesson in a Cessna. It was excellent fun controlling the aircraft and I really enjoyed seeing some of Cyprus from the air in the glorious sunshine. There are lots of Christmas parties and drinks for us at the moment as dh's work/baby group etc etc. I have eated so many sausage rolls and mince pies. I actually went out for lunch with two friends yesterday which was very civilised. I took dd2 but she was very good even though she wouldn't sleep. She also had some baby rice which seemed to go down OK.
Ah yes teething nappies are awful. Unfortunately both my dd's suffer from terrible nappy rash when they are teething . We are on camomile tea wipes and plenty of nappy free time in our house what with dd's latest arrivals. Poor thing .
Row row row your boat gently to the shore
If you see a lion there don't forget to roar
ROARRRRR!
or
Bounce bounce bounce your boat down the jungle stream
If you see a crocodile don't forget to scream Aaargh!
or
Rock rock rock your boat gently to and fro,
Watch out, give a shout into the water you go,
SPLASH!!!!
or
Row row row your boat quickly down the river,
If you see a polar bear don't forget to shiver,
BRRRRRR!
Oh we do them all at Musical tots. It is a great group.
Have to dash, dd2 needs a feed.
Byeee

morning junies

a bit of a challenging time this weekend
dd had another bad night and dh who is usually really lovely, had an extreme man moment. it made me really stomping madthis was followed by a lesser man moment - i know you seem angry but i dont know why-
anyhow popping out later sans bebe to make a few last minute purchases, thinking mostly for me!

skyler that sounds really exciting nothing like being in control
good about the baby rice too

hello and good day to everyone else dear junies

okay not had a chance to catch up as my sister is here visiting.

DD2 rash has been diagnosed as cutaneous mastocytosis, which means she has over active mast cells, basically it is harmless and will clear up by itself in 2-3years! its very common but not normally as many patches of it as dd2 has, we see the consultant in 4months and have to go back if it gets worse or blisters or her health seems to change.

had a fanstatic morning in the spa yesterday was soooooo realxing

And just to add DD2 baptism is on the 8th of Jan at 10am in sheffield, if you'd liek to come email me katzguk @ hotmail.co.uk , scraggy is thinking of coming for those of you who rememeber her,

Giddy, best of luck for your Christmas dinner. That all sounds incredibly stressful. I?ve just got my MIL, FIL and DF and I?m already dreading that small number.
Katz, glad to hear you finally have a diagnosis and best wishes for the baptism.

Well, I have had a truly stressful day. As I?m going back to work tomorrow full time, I?ve had to swap all the furniture in my house around as I need my office back and it has been the nursery for the past 6 months. We couldn?t rebuild the wardrobe (all my clothes) as we are also having a builder in on Tuesday to make our loft storage friendly (ie, floors, a light and one of those funny staircases you can pull down). Every single room is now filled with clothes, junk, boxes etc and we still have to get down all the cr*p I have chucked up into the loft so that the floor can be laid down. Lord knows where that?s all going to fit. Apart from which I am dreading tomorrow. I am lying to all and sundry about how I can?t wait to use my brain again, which is true, but my overriding emotion is ?OMG, I have to leave my little angel/treasure/beautiful baby? . I am so upset about this.

Right, enough of my ?ME ME ME? thread. I have no right to whitter at you all about something so unimportant when some of you have real worries. Apologies for being so utterly selfish, but I just needed a rant. Feel a little better now. The enormous glass of wine in my right hand is helping somewhat as well.

Wish me luck for tomorrow???.

Jonah-Best of luck for tomorrow.I was meant to actually go back to work last week but couldn't bear to,so have put it off til March.I know it's going to come round quickly though-I really don't want to go back.I'm only going back 2 days a week and worrying about it.
Hope the wine has helped.I haven't had any wine(not really a drinker),but I've managed to get through half a box of Heroes tonight which is NOT a good thing.

jonah hugsssss dont be silly, of course you can talk about it, it must be very hard for you, thats why im only going back part time weekends i hope or after school clubs where hubby can have william, im the same i dont want to leave him, and i would miss him too much.

I just say to myself I waited 16 years for my baby boy, and he deserves all the care i can give him, but im lucky hunny i can do that, and i can say that I repect all of you lovely mums who are going back to work,hugssssss.

Katz ive never heard of that rash, im so glad that you found out, you sound ok about it now,.

Giddy wow can i can come for christmas dinner lol what a house full your going to have, they will be just me hubby and MIL and our william lol nice and safe, eldest boys are going to grandparrents.
But im cooking, a duck lol im not the best of cooks but ill give it a go, when i invited MIL for christmas day hubby said i can belive you did that, your not the best of cooks lol he is telling the truth though i told my sisters they burst out laughing.

Great nite out last nite i was the dancing queen lol and kareoke queen a bit too much vodka i think
didnt dance around poles this time though lmaooooo

lol im having problems grrrrrrrr as you can see

nite xxxxxxxx

evening junies
jonah - best of luck tomorrow, it will probably take time to get used to it, take it easy.

katz- great you know what that rash is and it does not seem too serious

giddy - cant you just put your foot down or make up some excuse and have a quiet time? think its fine to be selfish particularly since this is such a tiring time with the little ones

good night all

oh btw in spite of pcos and still breastfeeding on demand my period returned(sorry if tmi) pleased, was thinking it would be harded because i am still overweight. makes me more positive about a second pregnancy did i just type that

Jonah, lots of luck for today. I think your ds is staying at home with his dad? This was the sanity-saver for me, I seriously would have been a nervous wreck if I'd been having to leave ds in nursery when I went back to work. As it is I am finding it hard going, and that's only part-time. The funny thing is, I don't particularly enjoy looking after ds (esp, as per the last few days, he is waking up at 4:45 to start the day) but I can't bear to be apart from him. Ideally I would like to stay at home but have a full-time nanny, so I only had to look after him when I felt like it (I think this is unlikely to happen).

Take it easy on yourself, going straight back to full-time is pretty rough.

Giddy, your Christmas sounds .. hmm. Like you'll need a two week holiday to recover from it. And don't worry, you are not alone in your morbid thoughts. I have a sense of dread all the time that something might happen to ds, despite him always having been perfectly healthy. I think it comes with the territory.

2many, hope you got your night out!

Katz, good news about the rash, must be a relief - even if it is going to be around for 2 or 3 years, eek.

Glad that my falling over story is still providing amusement for some! I do seem to have hurt my wrist and knee though so I am less amused myself than I was

Eek, stop watching for a couple of days and the thread about triples!! Where to start?

Jonah - a little late but good luck for today, really hope it's going ok for you

EYM - glad you had a good night, you dancing queen you!

Giddy - wow, what can I say about your Christmas?? Do you get to relax at hogmanay instead then? And grrrrrr to your HV! Silly mare!

Katz - so glad you have your diagnosis, must be a relief for you. Spa...mmmm... that sounds nice. Had one when pregnant, was looovely.

Cratchit - hope your baby's tummy is feeling better

Skyler - I never knew row your boat had so many variations! Fantastic - is ds's favourite, and now it's even more fun!

Troubles - long time no 'hear', hope you're lurking and ok and work's alright

And hello to everyone else I've missed off here!

Thanks for all your support about dh and 'babysitting'. He ended up getting to go out anyway, but so did I as got my dad to babysit. And dh came and picked me up so could
have a couple of sneaky festive beverages! Had a great night so all worth it in the end. Now, what should I do while ds naps - huge pile of ironing, or wrap christmas presents??

Afternoon ladies

Just come back from ds's 'songs around the tree' session at nursery. Fab all the little ones dressed up, acting out bits to the nativity story, and singing festive songs they've specially been learning...and in the midst of it all my little angel spent the whole time picking his nose proundly for the videos!

Katz - glad the rash isn't something worse...hope it clears on the quicker time scale for dd2.

Skyler - brill - flying I'd love to do that you lucky lucky girl Ta for all the verses - now I know I've been singing them wrong all these years

Jonah - hope today went as well as possible, and you didn't miss ds too much.

Giddy - wow for your xmas lunch sounds like it'll be fun!

Not sure if anyone's interested but I have loads of 6mths + boys clothes from ds to give away. Was gonna sell them on ebay but had two loads go recently for just about the sellers fee and it's so dissapointing, I'd rather give them to someone who'd appreciate them for the cost of postage. DS was a june baby so the clothes are the right size/season for our present little bundles. If anyone is interested email me on saint dot greavsie at ntlworld dot com

Right best go dd is fidgiting for england on my lap - almost dropped her twice
