Up the bum paracetomol would have been better for you too!! Stingy buggers! Up the bum pain killers are soooooooo much better!

Bloody hell PR your luck must change soon I thought the post upthread was something rude I just did not get

Oh heck PR - glad all okay! Sounds lime you need a medicinal brandy It's my biggest fear I stumble with Tilly as I'm so bloody clumbsy at the best of times!

All the fun she had with the lovely Jonas this afternoon has left her wired!! YW, my DP has been giving her a wee pep talk about not making short men feel bad. Chuffing hilarious! J is gorgeous btw!!

PR is the way to go! I keep saying (Per Rectum? Up the bum?)

My tall boys worry me as a short arse! DS1 is almost bigger than me, at 10. Feck. Oscar is set to be exactly the same! He was the same length at birth, and following the same heights that DS was at 4 weeks and 8 weeks! He is 62cm now. The lanky bugger!

I was a tall baby though, and I turned out at 5ft2. I just stopped growing at 11! Will be interesting to see what DS1 does as he is coming up to that height and will be 11 in 6 weeks!

PR for PR!

Exactly! finally

I slipped with her on the ice yesterday and didn't fall and said to DH last night that falling with her was my worst nightmare and then it bloody well happened. I'm still a little bit in shock. In bed now and have some chilling for tomorrow night because I bloody well deserve it. Sooo lucky I fell backwards and dropped her at the last second. It would have been awful if had fallen forwards. My poor baby :(

With the pain in my coccyx it will be a long while before anything goes PR

You could always make double use of the ?! Would be quite cooling me thinks!

waddle waddle waddle, til the very next day....

THAT, Detective, was for hinting there is any other use for lovely wine than for me to drink it. You'll never get that song out of your head.

Oh pr that sounds awful you poor thing. Glad LO is ok. A friend of mine has a dd who is 14m old, and was in a sling on her front; she tripped over the kerb and went headfirst, luckily managed to not land on the baby but ruined her hands. Her dh just shrieked "have you squashed the baby?"

Have just put LO down in her crib, quickest transfer ever, not even a whimper. Could this be the start of something ??

I just dug out DS1's growth charts - my boys are growing at almost exactly the same rate!!!!

DS1 8lb5oz and 55cm at birth. 5 wks 5 days, 11lb 5oz and 60cm.

DS2 6lb12oz and 55cm at birth. 5 wks 6 days 9lb13 and 60cm.

They both put 3lb on in the same time frame, though obviously DS1 is the heavier of the 2! And they are following the same height!

Glad I kept a record, as its interesting to look at! DS1 gained on average 1/2 a pound a week! Except between week 7 and 8 (for some reason I had him weighed 2 weeks in a row) when he put 1lb on! (Growth spurt much?!?!)

I'm not planning on getting Oscar weighed anywhere near as much as DS1. I didn't know how often I should take him back then, so took him every 2 weeks until 4 months when I took him monthly. I'll take Oscar once a month maximum, til 6 months, then 3 monthly.

Oh, has anyone else been given a 6 week HV appt at home? Or a 3-4 month one? I'm a little suspicious. As far as I know there are no such thing as home visits after the initial one. Wonder why.... ?! I told them they can't come anyway .

3 measly oz! Was there any point?!? Oh well, he's asleep now so am gonna try get a bit too! Wonder how long he'll go on three sodding ounces....

Oh PR you barsteward!!! I'm gonna whisper it to DP as he falls asleep 2 seconds after we get in bed tonight. It'll be in his head aaaaaaaaaaaall night long .

Do you want my falling over story?! When DS1 was 10 months, I got one of those cheapy Mothercare Jive buggies, for ease of use on buses. First trip out, I stepped down a kerb when the front wheels (swivel ones) jammed and the whole thing tipped forwards, with me on top of it, in a fecking road. How nothing serious happened, I don't know, it was January and DS1 was all padded up thank frig.

Babies are more robust than we think though, as they don't tense like we do.

Religion alert. Feel free to ignore.

PR was it yourself that was thinking of going to church? I meant to mention this before that nobody there should be annoyed by your personal beliefs or lack thereof. I hope they welcome you with open arms. I know for a fact that God will be pleased to see you there as He is a personal friend of mine. Hopefully you will meet a few people who you can become friendly with, and the children can make their own minds up about what they believe in their own sweet time.

DS in cot in room asleep 11pm. VQ checking out, wishing everyone a good night, especially those who had a shitty night last night x

Detective

yes VQ it was me. Am starting to think I might be cursed so maybe it would be a good idea. I'm spiritual but not conventionally religious. Won't do us any harm at any rate.

Goodnight VQ! And I hope that sincerely!!

We are upstairs feeding. Hoping for a good night as have a busy day ahead. Dd at nursery from 9am so I have a nice day planned. Got to get to the nursery for 9 tho that's the tricky part!!

PR. big hugs.
Watching wire failed other night. So tonight I start dexter.

Soph samosa party it is. Will put u on my list. Anyone else interested in a west London meet up inbox me so we don't clutter up this thread. Will try sort it out for feb some time.

Yikes pr ..... Must have been scary stuff. Glad it's not too serious

Damn it missed all the fun .......

Think I caught ANOTHER case of potential mastitis ! BUT massaged like mad and I think it has been unblocked. Temp has also come back down again to normal although that could be the paracetamol . Will have to see how I feel in the morning...
Right feed done , time to do transfer!

Night all!

Trying to decide whether to do a dream feed or not...

Anyway, off to bed I go.
Good night all.

I have a HV appointment for March Detective so it's not just you.

Nervous my thrush cream said the same so I phoned the pharmacy and they said it was okay as it was 1%.

I second VQ as well PR. It's good to take your children to church and let them make their own minds up whether they want to keep going when they're older. I think there's a lot of education to be found there on a moral and a cultural level as well as on a spiritual level.

Oh good stunt! feel less picked on now!

Canesten cream is fine when bf, I think the peasary is too. It's just the tablet you can't have. IIRC!

Oscar is a sleepy thing so far tonight. He slept from 8 and I woke him to feed at 930. He went back to sleep and DP kept hold of him til we came to bed. I put him in the basket and he wasn't arsed!

Me and DP have just been rolling round the bed singing the duck song! I'm sure Oscar is going to wake any moment and tell us to go the fuck to sleep!! .

Oscar is 2 months today. Happy 2 month birthday!
