Hello everyone - can't keep up with you all so don't post on this thread much. But just wanted to say how I can't believe our babies are nearly 1!! This has definately been the fastest year of my life! Smile

Anyone got any good ideas for celebrations?

quite broody myself

2Happy · 02/05/2006 23:27

Me too, sfx. Had a bit of a scare this month with my first af last month not coming back this month, found myself very disappointed with a negative PT. Working on convincing dh that a second child a very good idea... Wink

sfxmum · 03/05/2006 09:08

good morning

giddy - so how was the gig? much shaking of hips and hands in the air?

while i was out yesterday dh took dd swimming (so cute in swimsuit) and bought her a cycling helmet, bike seat to follow - trying to control myself and not post countless photosGrinShock

work meeting complete pain, still contemplating just paying back the cash, but in any case am not likely to last beyond the first 3months - not quite sure how i feel about this

took dd to GP yesterday because i am concerned by a clicking sound coming from her hips/knee, GP found nothing wrong but dd referred to paed ortho

take care all

it was my concert night last night and it was fanstatic! wow and yeah and Giddy1 you are in for a treat!

hi sfx
I hope all is well with dd's legs.
The Take That gig is not until the 25th of june...oh and by the way hahaha at the "take that you lot are very young aren't you!" comment.
In my case the answer is "NO" but I can wish cant I. I just take any chance i can get to see bands live even if it is really cheesy .
I'm feeling really anxious at the moment as dd1 is having surgery on her ears on friday. She needs a thorough examination because she has immune deficiency and some of the inner tissue has decomposed due to continuous infections.
I am so worried because we cannot restrain her or get her to co-operate on a day to day basis let alone in the situation like this. we are having to take baby too because it needs both of us to look after dd1 and no-one is available to look after the baby.
Anyway must dash.
back later
love to all xxxxx

giddy1 · 03/05/2006 09:22

can't believe how sunny it must pop out asap

sfxmum · 03/05/2006 10:36

and i can't spell oh shoot!

giddy1 · 05/05/2006 18:38

I BlOODY HATE HOSPITALS !!!!!!!!
dd1 has had her operation today. It was really hard for her and I am so angry that the staff just made us manage. We had to wait in the reception area until after midday. She had not had a drink etc since bedtime the night befor. It was boiling hot in there and she was not able to umnderstand why she was refused a drink. The kitchen was right in front of us with people to-ing and fro-ing with food and drink.she kept thinking we were going home because they made us wait by the door until they could give her a bed. However when I asked if we could leave and return later we were told "no" as the Haemotology nurse had arrived to give dd1 a transfusion (even though it had been previousely arranged that no transfusion would be attempted until DD1 was already in theatre and knocked out!!!....she's severely autistic for crying out loud!!!!!!!
Dh even had to lie down on a bed and be wheeled back from theatre with dd1 lying face down on top of him (she's 16 not three!!!) because they had no contingency plan to cope with unexpected movement from her and did not have the staff to escort the porter.............awful!!!
We bought her home within an hour of coming round as no-one from the consultants team was even going to see us and I was livid that an E.N.T procedure was done to my daughter and no attempt was made to remove all the pus and gunk that had seeped into her outer ear.just left it stuck like glue .
YES I will be complaining.
sorry for ranting , just feels nice and safe here.
hope everone is o.k
lots of love

katzg · 08/05/2006 08:27

dd2 often pinches my breakfast so thats big girls milk! will have to change the order with the milk man to get full fat milk!

dd2 has discovered books! she now grabs one and climbs on your lap and wont budge until its been read over and over! current fav is 5 little ducks oh and its all acompanied by the word duck over and over

sfxmum · 08/05/2006 10:13

good morning all

giddy - what ans awful time! i guess expecting bit of common sense would be too much

mumma - i am still brestfeeding and will probably continue a while longer, so not too worried about milk. dd has been having full fat cows milk in cooking for a while and for the last few months she has formula for cereal at breakfast when required but are about to replace it with cows milk (this is in addition to a.m. bf)
i don't think we will be giving any more milk, she usually has yogurt ans cheese too so i think it will meet requirements.

we had a nice weekend it was dh's birthday.
am waiting on work for a couple of details before making final decision

hope you all are ok, take care

Skyler · 09/05/2006 11:14

Hi every one
Congrats AmyJade, what wonderful news for you!
Giddy - Unbelievable!!!!! Angry for you.
DD2 slept through once this week. Only once. Still up twice a night apart from that.
DD2 has had full fat milk on cereal in cooking etc since 7 months ish. Still b/f here though so not sure about the milk to drink thing. Good Luck with the move Mama3.
Love to all, sorry have so little time nowadays grrr.
Off to new toddler group this pm. Wish me luck.

Bubbaloo · 09/05/2006 19:08

Hi Everyone,
Hope you're all well.Sorry for not keeping up with things but it's been so busy here.My FIL is in hospital with a badly infected gall bladder,one of my cats has also just come home from being in hospital having 2 teeth out,after my neighbour gave him a bone and I've been rushing around to find an outfit as my brother is getting married on sunday! All I need to find now are some nice polka dot heels to go with it,so off into town tomorrow to look for themGrin.I got my birthday pressie early from Dh-he bought me a car last weekend.It's nothing flash,just a little white Fiesta.I haven't driven for about 7 years so thought I'd be really nervous,but now I've got it,it's like I've always had it and I love itGrin.
Giddy-That's really awful about the hospital.I'd also be annoyed and would definately be complaining[angry}
Muma3-Haven't given the milk much thought yet.Ds does have cows milk on his cereal and I've packed away the steraliser already(although I am still steralising,using the kettle!).I will probably do the same,and try just the one bottle first-he only has 2 bottles anyway!
Ds has also started crawling in the last week and today he has pulled himself up to standing twice and with no help from meShock.Looks like it's all happening at once,but it's jolly good fun.
Take care all and sorry for not catching up properly.xxx

tribpot · 09/05/2006 22:03

Bubba - yay, crawling, it's all hellish from here on in.

Interested by all this cow's milk malarkey, apparently it's against The Rules til 1 year, altho (a) our little ones are so nearly there anyway and (b) rules are stupid.

On a different note, due to badgering by my health visitor, an "outreach" worker from a local nursery has been round today (I really don't know why). Am staggered at the costs for full time care, not that ds would be going full-time but just on general principle. I do not understand how anyone on a single salary can afford it, barely see how anyone on two salaries can. I appreciate that I am basically the last Junie in the world to see how it operates, but I am genuinely stunned. WHY go to work? I earn a decent whack, and if I had to pay for full-time childcare there would be no point going out to work, basically.
