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!

Eva is growing up so quickly Sassy and where did those 20 months go?

Newmum IU have been bitten by about every animal going, pigs do hurt but horse bites are horrid, they have such big teeth and it bled so much.

Lucy is telling me 'no' all the time now. IF she poos and I ask her if she has she runs and says no, it is a very cute dainty 'no'. She is also managing to say the other dc's names pretty well. I think we will get some prepoer conversation from her soon

Thank you sassy34264! And well done you for running so far, do you enjoy running on a treadmill as much as on the streets? I can't really afford to go to the gym but is an appealing idea! Are you bottle feeding Eva or has she cut her milk down to one feed a day?

That's cute Debs75! I ask Luke and he says yes and says there while pointing to his bum but if I say shall we change your nappy he then says no and runs off!

My new baby started today and he was very good although he did get very clingy in the afternoon. He is on a strict routine and I am already finding it strange! He hasn't cried for food or shown signs of being tired he's just been fed and put to bed. I'm not saying its wrong and he's very happy on it but its so alien to me, hoping it will all fit in ok once the kids are back to school and I'm doing school runs.

cinnamon umph just been to the gym again tonight and did crap. well. i did and i didnt. couldnt finish what i had planned cos i have shin splints! feck feck feck. they can be a bloody bugger to get rid of, esp someone like me who is impatient to get fit again. but i did manage to do 1 mile in my fatest time yet. 10 mins and 22 secs. going to have to have to rest a bit and then maybe lay off the running and do biking instead.

i like both running on a treadmill and running outdoors. treadmill is easier cos its flat (but you can put the gradient up) i also like it cos you can see miles and times and it makes it easier to sets goals etc. but i love running in general. i almost managed to do the full 3 miles (that i started to do before xmas) this sat. i just had to walk about 200 metres in the middle to ease the pain in my leg- which i now know is shin splints.

Nooooooo, not just giving her 1 breast fed and nothing else- im not that bad at being a mum am i?
she has my breast milk plus 3 bottles of 8oz.

how are the pregnant ladies doing? im almost jealous! said to dp today 'shall we just try for one more before your vasectomy' he said yes!!!!!

i dont think i can though. its been hard work (understatement) but i would love another one in theory

fatest!!!! probably more appropriate!! ha

fastest!

oh god!! need sleep. i mean i almost managed to do the full 3 miles of the OUTDOOR run, that i started before xmas.

bedtime for me........

im going in a minute- i promise! (im soaking in the bath)

debs isobel says yes and no to stuff, but always the same answer to a certain question. so if i say have you poo'd she always answers yes, 'do you love (insert anyones name) always gets a very earnest 'no'.
the only time she answers appropriately is to do with food and drink.

jacob's yes was a caveman sound until a week ago- arrr. he says it now, but only when he can be bothered. he's all for his dad and i dont think he cares if im there are not- which is quite upsetting at times. i think i lost him when i had eva. hopefully he will come back to me eventually. oh god, crying at this. definately bed now.

Some babies just aren't keen on milk sassy34264, wasn't suggesting you were a bad mother! My brother stopped drinking milk of any kind at 6 months and didn't start again until he was about 8 years! It's rubbish when you don't meet your targets even if you did well you know it's not what you wanted to do! My friend had shin splints when she used to run but doesn't run anymore. Well done on the fast mile though :)

Argh....no timetocatchupproperlybut will do tomorrow hopefully. Just want to ask about milk.......
Jack has had the snots for a good ten days and has been a bit all over the place really but hasn't touched milk for 7 days. Do you think it's too early for him to have naturally weaned off it or possibly just a cold/faddy thing?
Will post properly soon but hope everyone had a fab Easter xxx

Beadit Read cinnamons just under your post, an answer before you even asked! Could be like you said cold related. Cows milk produces mucus Ive been recommend to stay off it whilst with cold, so maybe your little man is just naturally in tune with this.

Thanks for asking, sassy - all going well here if tired in the evenings!

Aphra says 'pooo' rather plaintively when having her nappy changed - we thought at first it was an actual indicator of having pooed but no, she seems to do it when there's just wee too. She also says 'bapple' or 'bapu' which is obviously derived from apple but she applies it to any roughly spherical fruit or veg of the right sort of size!

We're getting really up close to the limit on this thread now so I'll use cinnamon's suggestion "Sept 2010- Another 6 months past, it's going too fast!" and create it now. Yay!

Oh but before I do - my friend's screaming baby has had a couple of acclimatisation sessions at the nursery that Aphra goes to and it seems to be going better, fingers crossed. Let's see what she does when there's a longer session!

Here it is:
our new thread!
