Sept 10 - Now they're all one, where has the year gone!!!!!

[lumpylumps]

Sorry, I've jumped in with the new thread! Its been running through my head for the last week!

You lot must ask be very busy it is very quiet.
I think lucy is finally getting over her illness. She slept most of yesterday and when she woke in the night she didn't have a temp, first time in ages. She is still asleep now so were enjoying the peace

cinnamon I found my boobs shrunk far too quickly too! I need to get some more bras now as they still seem to be shrinking!

Orlaith's been ill too recently. She just hasn't seemed quite herself and has had lots of diarrhoea (she's had a lot of baths this week!). Yesterday morning I eventually went and woke her up at 10.30, god knows how long she would've stayed asleep!

1 wet nappy in 24 hours!!! I'm going to take him to clinic tomorrow. See what the hv says! he's eaten 2 pieces of melon and 1/4 petit filous size yoghurt all day and drunk about 8oz in total. 6oz of that was at 5am!!! I don't like it

Aww lumpy that's awful! Grace was like that a few weeks ago but she was drinking at least! Hope he feels better soon!

Hi

Im still here. Not busy, but have been away this weekend to PIL as was MIL Bday. Had a nice weekend, especially as Ds and Maia wake up at 7:30am but run straight into Granparents room and get in bed with them! Love it means DP and I get a lie-in till 9am!

The sun has decided to put in an appearance this week and we were still in the playground till 7pm tonight! Its still v.cold but got wrapped and had a good run around (well the kids at least, I mostly sat on the bench chatting )

lumpy Hope Olly feels better soon - well that goes for all the pooorly little ones.

Am doing lent again this year, cutting out meat and chocolate. (keeping in biscuits though ).

Just looked at the calendar, looks like I won´t be able to make it as fly back on the 18th march. Maybe next time we could do one in Spain!!!

oooh! patito a spain meet up sounds good!!

Arghhh lost post grrrr
Will try and get back tomorrow to catch up.
In a nutshell though was sending get well hugs and blaming Jack for destroying our laptop...... On my new toy now so I'm baaaaack

Nighty night xxx

That's rubbish lumpylumps, if you don't get a good answer from the hv I'd be tempted to see the gp. Hope he picks up. Luke is still having 2 bf a day and has been eating his breakfast but not much else all day, still drinks a lot though.

That sounds lovely patito, being in the park until 7 I mean. That's my favourite thing about summer, the lovely long evenings!

I'm a proud mummy tonight as we've been to ds1's parent's evening and he's doing great the only negative thing is that his writing is being affected by his speech. They teach them to write phonetically which he does but because he doesn't pronounce things like everyone else he's spelling them differently :(

Luke is still not really well, go drops for conjunctivitis and he's eaten more but still a cling-on and i'm feeling really drained by it all. Two sick boys while mummy is sick is really not a good combination! He's sleeping through now which I agree is a good sign Debs75 as with Lucy!

Running is going well despite the cold, I finished week 8 today so can now run for 28 mins straight. I am still only covering 4K so even with running the full 30 mins will not manage 5K but a lot of the way there. Thinking of joining a park run but the closest is in Cambridge and it starts at 9.30am. I can't run on a full stomach and feel very ill if I leave the house without eating so would need to get up very early on a sunday morning for my breakfast to have gone down in time for a 9.30 start! Thinking of doing a race for life though if anyone fancies sponsoring me

Had no pancakes due to parents evening :(, hopefully have some one tomorrow.

Hi all
Am still here just lost in a sleepless haze. Phoebe is much better and making up for lost time! She is not sleeping properly though and just wants to play. Im so tired and with work as well Im just wrecked. Also have a total bitch to deal with at work which wasnt wearing me down til recently. think I am just so tired that it has really affected my moods.
Will pop back later

MammyG! ? Or

Go for the Mammy and have some from us!

Olly seems a bit better today. I've been syringing the dioralyte into him. he fights it but he seems brighter for it. He's still not drinking tho so I'm not sure how long it'll last.

cinnamon the running sounds great. Well done! I couldn't run for the bus!

Welcome back bang i've missed you!

Hi

Just checking as off to work in a mo. Was on the beach yesterday and it topped 20ºC and tomorrow we´re off to the mountains for a sledge in the snow. When it´s like this I don´t miss home so much .

Have a good weekend all.

hello lovelies, has been ages. hope you all doing ok, i never seem to have much time to check in these days xxx

I bet I'm the only saddo on here on a fun Friday night..... Feel so boring these days. not that mn is boring of course..... Definitely not our thread..... Just me!
Hope poorly babies and mums are feeling much better! Xxx
Can those with time have a quick update on Los? Just be nice to read what others are doing daily etc Jack has finally cut out his afternoon milk which is brill! Food is so much easier than milk

Quick question folks..... So my sister has bought her beautiful wedding dress! Our close cousin is getting married 2 months before and I've found out that her 3 bridesmaids dresses are a bridesmaid equivalent to my sister's dress do I tell or not??

I'd tell her bangwentmytriangle, better now than at the wedding. I'm not good at updates will have a think and be back!

Bang I'd tell her. But hopefully in the following 2 months most people will forget what the bridesmaids were wearing anyway.

Orlaith's chatting loads now. Her favourite words/phrases are "oh no" (about anything and everything!), "more" and "help please", oh and "mummy... mummy... mama.... mummy... mama... MAMA.... MUMMY" (you get the idea!). She draws and dances all the time, but hasn't got the hang of shapes yet. She usually likes us singing together but this morning I started singing and she put her fingers in her ears!!! And she loves the guitar. She seems to take after DP far more than me, she's just like him in so many ways!

patito did you just come on here to make us all very very jealous?!

melly Hiiiiiiii!!!!!! Nice to hear from you. I hope you're all well.

Hi all, sorry I've been very sporadic on here recently. We're moving house very soon (6th March!) and also we've just come back from hols (so patito's good weather doesn't make me jealous!). We were in Tenerife, which was apparently colder than usual for the time of year, but we had a couple of lovely warm days and overall it was a lovely change compared to the cold weather we were having before that. Amazing looking place - it's a volcanic island so it's all very dramatic landscape-wise. Good food too, Aphra ate really well and a great range - fish, meat, veg, fruit, bread. She always loves yoghurt too and there was enough tasty flavours so that was ok too.

Hard to catch up with everyone's comments but for Bang's question on what others are doing daily - Aphra is waking up anytime between 6:00 and 7:30 (on a very good day for us!) and napping normally once during the day but on hols she was having two naps, a morning and afternoon one. If she has two naps it's a 2 or 2.5 hour one in the morning and about an hour one in the afternoon. She comes into bed with us and has a feed unless she's had a bottle of cows milk very recently (DP gives her a bottle in the night or early morning, and sometimes if it's right towards getting up time it can overlap a bit) and then plays with my iPhone or iPad - she's getting really good at playing with some of the games by herself, and then other ones she wants us to do so she can watch. Has anyone else tried Toca Doctor? It's a lovely little app with some simple puzzles and she really likes it. She's recently started to "play" Angry Birds and in playing it for her, she's got DP hooked too!

What else? She does still have an afternoon feed but not every day - it's particularly if she is ready for an afternoon nap and then she feeds to sleep sometimes. After our dinner it's time for her bath which normally she loves, but she seems to get very thrown by change in this area, so when we ran her a bath in the place in Tenerife she was screaming and crying and really not wanting to go in at all. In the end I got in too and gave her a feed! But normally I just give her a quick feed to sleep. Dunno how much she's getting nowadays to be honest, but she's still keen and I'm fine with it, though I do get some soreness on the nipples sometimes. Debs, how did you find feeding your DD before Lucy was born - were you keen to carry on, or her, or both?

Sorry this is so long now! Mammy, glad that Phoebe is better now and hope things get better for you overall too - I'm sure that once you are less tired the work colleague will get easier to handle. And lumpy, hope Olly is better very soon too. xxx

Good to hear from you comixminx.

Luke is awake between 6 and 7.30, depending who else is up! He naps for 2-3hrs around 12.30 and goes to bed 7.30-8. He is so full of character, very strog willed and into everything! He does play now which is lovely but still likes to investigate where he shouldn't! He is on and off with food, some days he'll eat everything and anything and other days he eats like a sparrow (always has a big bowl of porridge for breakfast) but letting him feed himself definitely helps his faddyness! He understands everything you say to him and nods or shakes his head. Still not saying much - ta, yes, no, that, there, cat, dog, car and dinosaur. He loves cuddles with mummy and his poxy muslin and has just discovered tv. Has milk first thing and last thing and has a cute little run now when he wants to go somewhere I don't want him too.

And from mellymooks too, just posted after you on the thread about boys names :)

I should also say that he babbles all the time just not specific words! He can also kick a ball around like a pro and throws everything well too. He loves his vtech rocket shape sorter but not so good at unfamiliar ones and tends to just push the shapes really hard!

I'd tell her too bang

Olly is brilliant! he still wakes around 5am for milk but goes back off till 7ish. He has 1 sleep whenever I can fit it in for about 1 hour 30mins. He's a good eater but sometimes a bit picky. He Loves cars and animals and knows all the animal noises. His speach is coming on really well. He copies every word you say and uses a lot appropriately. Hes just developed a real temper tho. very funny to watch & he's a real mummys boy

Awww I love reading posts like these!
Jack adores his bed and pulls to get in it after story time. Would rather that than cuddle 'MeeMee' (me)
Sleeps pretty much 7-7 and has anything between 1-2 hours after lunch though sometimes after a day at Gran and Grandpa's he really needs a catch up so can do 3 hours.
Chats loads but seems to have swapped saying animal names for their noises even though I know he can do both. Loves saying 'Don' for his Jellycat donkey and he has become firm favourite. Strawberries make his eczema worse and we're still avoiding egg until 18month skin tests at hospital. Eats well at lunch and dinner but prefers to pick at breakfast throughout the morning rather than in one sitting.
Has 11 teeth, 5.5g tootsies. Such a happy chappy and is always giggling. Has a very cheeky streak and can reach mega volume shouting at his toy dog. Never stops running around, in circles and if outdoors HAS to have a stick in each hand. Favourite thing in the whole world is books of which we have way too many!
Love trying to do the actions for heads, shoulders,knees etc and knows the following body parts: hair, tummy, toes, knees, hands, chest, eyes, ears, mouth, nose, tongue but not bum!
He's an absolute dream and I can't get enough of him...... Unless I'm trying to get my iPad back off him grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Got 5 days in Centre Parcs in two weeks so cannot wait! Any tips Lumps?

Sounds like the poorly ones are on the mend which is brill to hear and very jealous of mention of holidays in the sun! I worked out last week that I haven't left Yorkshire since last June no wonder I want to move house!

ooh! got him weighed last week & he's 22lb 4oz! Olly adores books too!

Which centre parcs are you going to?? Toby was this age exactly when we went! He loved the bowling! oh, he did soccer tots too! Blimey, he semed so muc older than olly does now! I'd never even think of sending him to soccer tots!
