Just bumping you up before I lose you!

HuggyPomBear · 01/04/2012 22:02

Hello all! I have an iPad....it's lovely. Hope you're all well. Thinking of you nohun!

HJisgoingtogoBOOM · 02/04/2012 06:53

Ooh IPad Envy

tiredfeet · 04/04/2012 19:40

hope you are enjoying the ipad huggy
and hope the move has gone well nohun

ds finally has two more teeth, giving him a grand total of four!! he grew them just in time to show them off at his first ever dentist's appointment.

what have you all got planned for the bank holiday weekend? I've got a couple of visitors but otherwise just planning on relaxing with ds and pootling around (dh is working 3 out of the 4 days, of course!)

HJisoffwork · 05/04/2012 07:36

Dd3 is poorly. Started Saturday & had to cancel our trip to Chester. GP said virus & come back today if no better so we are.

floozietoozie · 06/04/2012 19:10

It has gone quiet! Hope you all have a lovely Easter. [busmile] Hope move went well nohun, and Huggy I have ipad [buenvy]

can you tell I like the [busmile] [busmile] [busmile] [busmile]s ??? [bugrin]

NoHunIntended · 06/04/2012 19:38

Ooh, iPads are great! Enjoy!

Poor baby HJ. Hope she is better already. DS is teething, has at least four that I can see coming through all at once, poor little tyke, but he is being brave, bless him.

We are in Frankfurt. Is good to be here, settling in, though we aren't in the apartment for good, at least I hope not, it leaves a lot to be desired, but it's free for three months so I will try to make do! It is clean and roomy enough, at least. DS seems to be comfortable in his new surroundings, taking it all in his stride. I hope we make a good go of things, I am sure we will.

Hope you all have a great Easter break. Our belongings haven't arrived yet, so looks like we won't get our Easter Eggs in time (I bought and packed some from the UK). Oh well. [busmile] anyway!

Hi nohun

No dd3 is still pretty rough. Has virtually eaten nothing since Saturday (thank goodness for breastmilk) and lost loads of weight. Still coughing & being sick. On anti biotics, regular calpol otherwise her temp shoots up. She's brighter in herself in between but having some really long naps.

tiredfeet · 06/04/2012 20:08

oh dear hj that sounds like hard work, although at least hopefully the naps give you a break.
nohun glad you have got there ok, shame about the easter eggs though! hope your belongings get there soon

happy easter all [busmile]

NoHunIntended · 06/04/2012 20:47

tf, my dentist said he didn't need to see DS til he was three??? I thought the earlier the better! Well, I will find a new dentist in Frankfurt.

HJ, sorry to hear she is still poorly.
And I see you are off work? What's happening with that?

How do girls!? Smile

HJisoffwork · 06/04/2012 21:37

Hi silver!

I'm off on leave. Back on Tuesday.( providing dd3 is eating by then).

tiredfeet · 06/04/2012 21:49

nohun we were going any way so they said might as well start see him too. felt a bit silly as he has so few teeth! but I figure at least it gets him used to going, and if there were problems they'd be spotted.

hello silversky!

HJisoffwork · 07/04/2012 08:17

Dd3 saw dentist in Septenber . Pre teeth.

MonsterBookOfTysons · 07/04/2012 13:52

Hi guys :)
Happy Easter :o
HJ hope you are feeling much better.
Hi silver, how are you :)
NoHun are you there now or is it Monday coming?

HJisoffwork · 07/04/2012 14:56

Oh seem to have lost part of my previous post!

Meant to say she got the first ones a week later.

HuggyPomBear · 07/04/2012 16:58

Hello All! I'm glad you made it to Germany ok Nohun. Sorry to hear your dd is poorly HJ. Best advice I got when dd was being sick was to wake her every couple of hours for fluids. It's great that you're still breast feeding, it's so much better than trying to give them horrible tasting rehydration salts...I know! Lovely Easter here. Got a dark chocolate Lindt bunny for DD :-) she likes Lindt 70%. Got my parents a marzipan egg and eyed it all night in the fridge...they very nearly did not get it!

SilverSky · 07/04/2012 18:29

Happy Easter y'all!

I am well. Shattered. 26+1 weeks with nbr 2. Those of you on fb may have guessed tho have not officially announced as still got a way to go.

DS is 17mo, walking, babbling with not much talking! Only got 6 teeth and bet your bottom dollar there will be bad teething around EDD.

Any of you with two got any tips? Grin

MonsterBookOfTysons · 07/04/2012 18:31

Silver my tip with two would be to enjoy it! You already know most of it due to the first so it is easier tbh.
The only thing I found was I was more scared of the birth as I knew how much it hurt but even that turned out easier and less painful!
Congratulations!!! :o

HJisoffwork · 07/04/2012 18:52

This too will pass

HuggyPomBear · 07/04/2012 19:23

Wow! Congratulations Silver Smile. No tips! I cannot imagine having anything more than DD.

DD has just fallen asleep in my arms cuddling up before bedtime. Soo lovely. She opened her easter pressies this evening as we're travelling to see g,parents tomorrow. She was a very lucky girl and got 3 hand knitted tops, some leggings and a t shirt, a little basket of eggs and a chick. She was delighted. We're saving the Lindt bunny til tomorrow or Monday.

SilverSky · 07/04/2012 20:15

Had cs last time and no real labour pains so I'm still none the wiser wrt full on contractions ! Prob better off not knowing!! Grin

MonsterBookOfTysons · 07/04/2012 20:22

Oops sorry silver :o
You will be fine! :)

HJisoffwork · 07/04/2012 20:55

Will it be another CS?

SilverSky · 08/04/2012 08:26
