Fab Feb 2011: Walking, talking and still not sleeping.

[blizy]

I hope you don't mind me starting a new thread? Lets hope it's a lucky one for me.

robin yip thats what I was thinking, Ohhh I am getting quite excited about it now. I love doing things for Zoe. I was painting stones earlier to place in the SANDS garden on Saturday (we are going to the sands memorial service in in the national arboretum again).

Hi all, I just lost my own post I am actually watching Poirot and then saw Borgs post haha, I'm tired and its boring me off to sleep so thats ok

wiggles glad you had a nice birthday :) You have to milk it for all its worth!

Robin yes messy play is at a surestart, its really good when its on except for the last 15mins where we do 'singing' which is led by the most tone deaf, loud woman I have ever heard. There are a lot of non-english speaking mums at the group so they're all chatting away in polish/urdu etc whilst this woman is 'singing' whilst the english speakers have to join in and me and my friend try not to look at each other and laugh Toast duty sounds like a pain in the bum to me, how long do you have to keep that up for?!

blizy wiggles has a good idea there for the book, could you carry it on as a sort of diary, doing little letters and thoughts for Z when you think of them? Or just a Dear Z, this is what we've been doing today, thought of you iyswim?

american and Borg A was awake at 5.45 today of you both. Although she had a sleep at 4 for an hour and I put her in my bed and snuggled up next to her which was nice.

deb I have never had/been to a baby shower, glad your sis enjoyed it though, and the girls by the sound of it!

Where is ledkr? Has she lost us?!

Yawn I'm off to bed soon. Feel a bit saying this but think I might be a bit depressed, I'm tired all the time and just want to sleep. Have contacted cruse bereavement counselling so might go and talk to them about my dad, we'll see. Anyway night all xx

Borg that's why I chose this nick name - I look exactly like her! in my dreams
I'm really annoyed though - some biatch one has totally copied me . There's a poster called RobinScherbatsky! How dare she! She must be new as she's only got 9 posts (I searched because I'm a weirdo and I wanted to check that I was the original one before I got all huffy about it).

blizy I've just had a nosy at her pics on DH's FB (she has pictures of them up) and she's basically done a picture or two on each page with pretty lettering, pictures of butterflies and poems. She's put borders around the edges of each page - pictures of pretty buttons. It looks really pretty and effective. It looks like she's done a few for different occasions. They're really nice!

X posted Ponyo. Don't be you've been through a lot! Well done for contacting Cruse Bereavment, it definitely wouldn't hurt to talk to them.

I used to take DD1 to rap and rhyme and the woman who led the group could NOT sing AT ALL :o. She was fantastic at her job and great at getting the children to listen, really really good with kids, just a terrible voice!

I can't take L as it's on at a time that we can't go :(.

It makes me feel :( that we don't really do half the things that I used to do with DD1. All the groups seem to have been shifted about so that we can't make it. A shame as I used to do something every day with Isabel.

I hope you don't all think that I'm weird for referring to Isabel as DD1 even though you all know her name! It's just that I CBA tying out Isabel every time and if I put I it looks like I'm saying me! :o

Thanks robin
I am at rap and rhyme - are you a rapping mummy?! I'm imaging Rachel from friends I dont know where your mn name is from, is it something geeky?!

A's middle name is isabel (it's my sis's middle name too)

Yup,

I like big butts and I cannot lie,
You other brothers can't deny...

My name is from How I Met Your Mother - one of the characters was a teenage Popstar in the 90s and her stage name was Robin Sparkles (real name Robin Scherbatsky).

Everyone laughs at Rap and Rhyme when I've talked about it! It's just a Sure Start group where they do singing and playing with instruments :o

Anya Isabel is gorgeous! She really suits it too :)

Ha! Good rapping there Rob-S

I've never watched how I met you're mother. Might give it a try if I see it now!

Aww and thanks about little miss Anya Isabel (who is currently moaning in her sleep...)

It's good! A bit like Friends, if you liked Friends. I think they're up to the 7th series now but there are repeats all the time on E4!

Hope A sleeps well tonight! L still wakes sometimes, drives me mad!

I guessed it'd be on e4! A always has a little moan at 10ish for some reason, weird. She's asleep now though, let's hope for an all night long sleep for us both

RobinSparkles Christ for a minute there I thought you were talking about my arse

ponyo hope you get counselling sorted out, when I was depressed all I wanted to do was sleep. I used it as an easy withdrawal from dealing with people. Of course you could just be absolutely knackered dealing with everything and your body and brain could just need a rest!

I love the name Isabel.

Think ledkr is campervanning?

WeAreBorg Mr W has just said that the music was a bit "boombastic"! He thought they were setting everything up for sequels.

:o wiggles was that wishful thinking?

Btw, I just snorted milk out of my nose at me talking about your arse!

ponyo You have been coping so well, well done on contacting cruse. I hope it helps you. x

himym is fab! Dh and I both love it.

robin I'm at rap and ryhme! I will be putting butterflies on the book too, they are our thing for Zoe. We decorated her room with a butterfly theme and when she died we recived loads butterfly cards.

Night night all

thanks wiggles That is gorgeous, but I think i'm looking for a pink one.

Hi all yes been campervanning will update on wind and rain tomorrow but am in bed which feels like heaven after 3 nights camping.

reastie would be sooo nice to meet up,ill buy some mr kiplings Not read all thread but will tomorrow zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hi, I know its been a while but i thought I'd show my face. Hope you are all doing fantastic and all the toddlers are being slightly well behaved.

Freya still isn't walking. She took 5 steps while we were in holiday last week but has done nothing since then. She is definitely a cheeky lil madam though.

Hi Hubbard- you have one lazy girl!
How are you and the kids today?

She must be the last one on the thread to start walking. She is definitely very lazy.

The kids are fine I'm not really. I'm so angry still.

I didn't walk until I was 18 months!
I am angry on your behalf. Just you keep going, you are doing a fantastic job. The kids will always remember that. X

I had a lovely afternoon out on my own yesterday, cinema, shopping, coffee, the trifecta of baby-free relaxation. I came home to an absolute disaster though. L ate lunch then was sick all over DH, which caused DH to vomit. He didn't make it to the kitchen bin in time and got it all over the carpet and radiator. The kitchen smells absolutely minging now, I've had the carpet cleaner out and DH cleaned behind the radiator as best he could but the smell won't shift completely. Who the feck puts carpet in a kitchen anyway?! I feel sick every time I go in there.

blizy - I think a scrapbook for Zoe sounds lovely.

Hello to everyone else, just a quick break while we're crash cleaning the house.

It doesn't feel like I'm doing a fantastic job, I just keep thinking this is it. All they have is me now and i have to be everything to them. It's not fair on them.

Hubbard, L has only just started walking. She took a few steps at about 14 and a half months and then didn't do any for ages. Took a couple of steps occasionally but crawled all the time. It's only the last few days that she has been mainly walking but she still crawls often!

It's quite nice as it seems like they're still babies rather than toddlers, iykwim. They look so much taller when they walk! What are you angry about? Sorry if I've missed it - I haven't posted in a while until a couple of days ago. :(

Xposted :( that last post of yours has kind of said it.

I'm sure you are doing a fantastic job! Look after yourself and be kind to yourself. Do you have any family to help you?

American ew! Poor L (and DH). How is he now? Why is it that any me time/quiet time is followed by a fiasco? A few weeks ago DH and I went to the cinema, first time in ages and we were really looking forward to it. My mum looked after the girls, everything fine - came out of the cinema to see a few missed calls off my mum - Isabel had been sick in her bed! Got home and both girls were down stairs - L had been woken up by everything and was thrilled to be up, all smiles. I had to change all of Isabel's bed clothes, put her back to bed but would L go back down? Nope! It was about midnight at this time.
