June mummies '05 thread 8 -The one with where they get EVERYWHERE!

[katzg]

one new thread as requested

hope the title meants with approval

Hello. Not been around for a while. Seem of have had a right nightmare week or so. Ds has had 'man flu' and OMG what a nightmare he has been. I did feel extremely sorry for him as he looked awful, streaming eyes, runny nose and constantly coughing, but it seems to be going now.

We have learnt to roll over now. Back to front. He does it all the time. Even at 3.30am. And gets stuck on his front and then cries. Not funny. Can sit up all on his own for about 2 minutes now as well. Although its a bit hit and miss sometimes, depending on how tired he is. We're not on the move yet though. Thank god.

Anyway, hope everyone is good xx

happy birthday to me 37 today!

now where is that box of chocolates?

hope everyone doing ok, pesky weather seems to bring nasty colds to little junies, get better soon
take care all

Happy Birthday SFX.
Hope you have a great day!

Happy Birthday SFX! Dont forget a glass of vino to go with the chocs!

Yay, feliz cumpleaños or Portuguese equivalent of this to sfx! (Should have asked Lua today).

Just a quicky, haven't caught up on recent posts but wanted to report a most enjoyable Northern Junie meet-up today, MrsW attended with both dses (and I nobly resisted an opportunity to kidnap ds2 when she and ds1 were putting more money in the parking meter). Lua came sans enfants, so we were all highly jealous of the fact she didn't have to spend the whole meet warding off hands covered in veggie puree etc. Katz and Lil Miss Katz were on excellent form, Lil Miss Katz is an absolute wonder of mobility and very cute indeed. Although it may not seem like much of an achievement, my ds was much more smiley and happy in the company of strangers than he has ever been; my mum has been visiting this week and after initially treating her with the disdain he reserves for all strangers he has come to terms with the fact that she wasn't going to go away! I think we have had a breakthrough in terms of a realisation that strangers are not inherently evil monsters

Glad you enjoyed the northern meet up-I'm very .

We finally have a tooth this morning-woohoooooooooo!

Hope everyone else is ok,and I hope the move is going smoothly,Skyler.

On my way out for a girlie night bopping and getting very drunk, woohoo! but just wanted to say before I forget Katz...is it definitely the new nursery and not her age?? I only ask because ds has been at one nursery or another since he was 6 months and we had a very bad stage for a while where he didn't want to go at all and would cry as we turned into the drive to be dropped off. He is now in a loving it stage!!! The other thing is nursery B will be a different routine to A and she may take a while adapting to this change, but may settle down shortly...maybe it's worth persevering with B for a short while, but if she seems no better and it would make you happier then move her back to A?? Sorry can't be more help.P.S even though ds is in a loving it stage he still cries some mornings when he's told he's going - and then cries when he's told he isn't!!!

thanks for the comments and advice about DD1 and nursery - we have had a chat to the staff at nursery A (the one she loves) and they have said its very normal for children who are very settled in one nursery to not like another, what we are going to do is nothing for the time being but might buy DD1 an extra afternoon at the nursery she loves, it would make life a little easier for me and DH and not cost a huge amount extra each month

The meet-up was great - good to see everyone again.

We must try and organise a huge junie meet up, i know a thread was started, but what about a birthday party for them all, probably mid june? its far enough away that there is time to plan and hopefully the weather will be better so maybe we could meet up for a picinc somewhere, Hyde park in london perhaps?

Katz - just a thought. Any weekend in June we try and pick is bound to be when someone has a special birthday party planned for a 1 year old Junie. So how about, say, end of July, when surely no Junie will still be celebrating his/her first birthday?

july sounds fine!

And just to get you extra-excited, KVG, I am about to launch the 'June mummies weekend extravaganza' thread to accommodate those ladies who prefer to meet on a Saturday or Sunday. Your dreams of meeing the northern Junies are not over!

Well as the others can testify, I have a fondness for chiffon I will launch the thread post haste and I will CAT you so we can liaise by email as well.

Btw, I wish I could do more to bring a smile to a tired lady, I'm sure your dd would thrive in the house of "get the hell to sleep NOOOOOWWWWW!" (joking, my night-time techniques are nothing like that, although maybe they should be).

evening all

quick drop by, hope all are well.
still no teeth but mealtimes are a lot of fun here, i usually put some food in a bowl for dd to help herself while i spoon feed her food goes everywhere

cant wait for better weather need long walks.

meet idea sounds good and end of july is good too, if i have my way i will be working weekends so i will need plenty of notice to get one free.
take care all

Afternoon ladies

Oh a meet up sounds fab, glad it's in July tho - we have dd, ds and mil all with June birthdays and if you factor in father's day I'm not sure I'll have any free - and if I did I'd be too broke to come!

Had a bit of an up and down week last week df was taken into hospital with suspected kidney and liver failure, luckily it turned out to be gall and kidney stones, all remedied now but meant lots of trips to visit just incase that sounds harsh but we don't get on, never have and tbh I only see him for the kids, not that he's that fussed - seen dd twice and ds less than a dozen in getting on for 4 years. I felt sorry for him, don't wish ill on anyone, but am glad all's ok so I don't have to travel 120 mile round trip to visit anytime soon ho hum.

On the movement front dd is now a wiz on her bum, shuffling from one end of the lounge to the dvd player in record time! and ds is permenantly off my xmas card list with his whistful comment last night when snuggling up for a bedtime cuddle '...mummy why do you still have a fat tummy when Amber's come out now?' !!!! shall have to have stern words with that young man about how to flatter and how not to flatter a woman

Quick post as I'm at work and shouldn't really be on here...

Belated happy birthday to sfxmum, hope you had a lovely day.

No teeth either here (DS2 that is, not me, I've got plenty of them).

Lovely to see everyone last Friday, sorry I didn't have much time to talk (was too busy threatening/bribing DS1 to sit down and behave himself!). I'm sure it was much quieter and more peaceful when we left...

Tea, your DS is a cheeky little bugger isn't he? What was your reply to him (apart from sending him to bed without stories )

Got to go, boss is back.

Mrs W - do you know for once I was speachless - and that doesn't happen often I can tell you!

Hi all-

Hi teabelly - nice to see you around!
DS managed today to get out of his pants ! It was pretty funny, it came out as he shuffled forwards in his profecient commando style.... DD and I ROFL as he look puzzled what the fuss was aout...

MrsW - All I saw were two gorgeous and well behaved Ds's. Ds2 is a saint, but Ds1 also was very well ehaved. It must be their upbringing

Feliz aniversario sfx! Did you hae some "nun bellies' to celebrate...

bloody HV
DH has just taken DD2 for her 8 month check and she has lost weight apparently, she is now below the 50th% line.

Her advice stop breastfeeding at night!! WTF!!!

Do you think it might have anything to do with her crawling at 4months!!!!!!!!!!

stupid stupid women

Ah Katz, nice to see consistency when your first dd was also subject of concern at her 8 month test for being more interested in cruising the furniture than showing off her pincer movement by picking up a bit of fluff or whatever it was.

I'm no expert, but dd2 looked fine to me last week, a wonderment of mobility as I said before.

Below the 50th line hardly seems major cause for concern, unless she was right up at the top before?

Katz - the first time ever we saw a HV (when DD was 14 months)her main concern was that I should stop bf because I didn't thought dd ate much. She ended up convincing me, partly because I wasready to give up anyway... at that point she was btw 50 and 25%.

Since then she fell off all the curves and now stand btw 9 and 2%!!!!!

I agree - stupid, stupid!

The only worst suggestion I've heard was from dds nursery carer, suggesting that I should give her more sweets!

Just ignore the looney!

its just craziness i know, but wehat worries me most is that i'm an (well i'd like to think) inteligent person and i can see that shes just talking utter rubbish, but what about mums who aren't quite so clued up!!

I think the clincher for me was when she suggested that by dropping the night breast feeds DD2 would then eat more veggies during the day, like all good dieter know drink full fat milk and stay off the veggies you'll lose weight!!! well that what shes suggesting!

You know of course that my adopted niece and nephew weren't even on the 1st centile when my bro adopted them? Here's me showing my red book demonstrating ds isn't a big ol' porker (as my Mum likes to claim) and their children were dangerously underweight. (Now my lovely little nephew eats for England, although is still in the same size clothes as my ds, despite the fact he will be 2 in March).

Ladies, we have NOTHING to worry about.
