A fourth child?! Is she crazy! Oh wait! 
Congratulations, Spring, if you are reading! Well, congrats anyway, even if you're not! :)

Congrats Spring! Am I right in thinking she had three girls prior to this?
I did survive the party, but only because I have some great mum friends and fellow parents at ds's school who mucked in and took over helped out when we were a bit behind with the setting up. And did loads of clearing up too. Seriously, women should rule the world. Everything would be sorted out within an afternoon.
Brilliant snow day today. Went sledging in the park with kids, then later on me and ds built a snowman (ok, I built the snowman while ds threw snowballs at me - he's not very good at making them so not much damage done 
) and then had an organised snowball fight. I have to be honest, I was quite bah humbug earlier this week about the snow, but I really enjoyed it. It's much easier now ds is more stable on his feet. Have you had much snow in Germany, Lentil?

Sounds like my kind of wedding 
. Meat haggis (dredging up memories here) tastes overwhelmingly of pepper.
Hope your DH gets home ok Ood. How's DD3's oom?

Hello - I do have a baby boy - thank you for the messages! We didn't know what we were having and I'm quite surprised that it wasn't a girl. We've been shopping now so he does have some clothes . My labour wasn't great, the worst of the lot but it was quick so that was good. So far (today will be day seven) he is very lovely, no bouts of crying at all and feeding well. And sleeping well too.
I would agree with Ood regarding the teenage years. It can be fierce here. I have girls who are 14 and 12 and it is hard work. Really tough sometimes. I'd rather a toddler any day!
It's lovely to read the new thread and catch up on everyone's news.

It's FT here! Felt like a bit of a seasonal name change. It has been snow business too, very unusual for here. I've become a bit of a winter convert in fact (for proper winter). Aw, Spring, he sounds lovely. I watched Call the Midwife on catch up the other day and got a bit broody looking at the little babsies. However, the thought of having a two-year-old running around in three years or so definitely quelled the broodiness. She's lovely but oh my goodness. I do agree though that toddlers are probably less stressful than teenagers because at least you can pick them up and take them if necessary. I'm a bit fearful of the teenage years....
I wish I could give DD her own oom. She's currently not going to sleep easily at all and I think would be easier apart from ds as he now has a nightlight and she doesn't seem to settle while it's on unless she's completely shattered. To be fair, neither of them have had much outdoor exercise in the past few days, so she might be better tomorrow as it's dry and I'm off work and can run her ragged .
