Hmm, I tried to change the subscription settings so that I just received the lite version, but it just came up with a message saying that I would be emailed with the instructions on how to do it. Natch. Should maybe try again?

That's probably a better idea pr, I might do that instead.

petite disposble shopping. bags really get me . too! here in wales they started charging for them about a year ago ... I think it really has helped I have really noticed a difference!

Triplets???
No thanks.

Jabs went ok, she cried a lot at the second one but I stuck her straight on the boob and she cheered up. Also got her weighed, she's now 12lb 1oz at 10 weeks, still in between 50th and 75th but now just above 50th rather than closer to 75th.

I put her in a M&P 0-3m babygrow this morning and it swamped her so the only ones that fit her properly at the mo that aren't v snug are her 0-3 next and baby gap. She's got loads of mothercare but they're huge. I'm wondering whether to buy another pack from next so she's got a few more to wear?

M is currently sleeping on my chest. Got test drive at 2, don't know how wise it'll be on 3hrs sleep. Might tell DH to cancel it.

chunky I sympathise massively. DH plays cricket, he used to play semi-pro but now he's getting on a bit he's just amateur. We're lucky that M is a winter baby as the cricket won't start until mid April. Last season was a bit rubbish as well, 10 out of 26 league maches rained off, so DH has lost the drive for it. So hopefully we won't have too many problems. He's also thinking of dropping down to the second team (but MIL won't have that but that's a whole other rant story).
We've booked a holiday in May, which means missing two weekends and we're going away to a Motorsport event the last weekend of May. That's already an improvement on previous seasons. I've got my fingers crossed that it won't cause too many problems.
At our club you always get men who have children who want to play less an ten people tutting and blaming to woman for stopping them playing and comments like "we'll she knew what she was getting in to, he played cricket before he met her", as if situations don't change
With cricket it takes up so much time. He plays every Saturday and Mathew tend to be 1:30-8:30 in mid summer, although they start earlier at the beginning and end of the season. He has to be there an hour before to warm up and the home ground is 15mins away. Quite often he works on a Saturday 7-11:30 so I only see him for a 15-30minute window Throw in a lot of Sunday matches and then Tuesday evening Twenty/20 in June/July and it's a hell of a lot of time.

Oh god I'd blocked it out, now dreading April

All this talk of sport makes me glad I am married to a geek. He might spend far too much time on his computer, but at least he is in the house

Triplets garden are there lots of multiples in your family? I find the idea of twins scary enough, I wouldn't know where to start with triplets!

GT - it was just a real lake. And i was cuddlng dd1 on the sofa while feedng. No wonder he had tummy ache last night. Think yw wins hands down though.

It is so hard seeing the chaps go on as normal - m dh is pretty god but that is still a bit of a touchpoint. Especially when he says one thing then does something else. Like yesterday when he had announced he was going in late and so could help get the kids out - I took advantage and stayed in bed for an extra 20 mins as I thought they'd be 2 of us - then he gets up when I do, announces he's slept through his helping time and is off now! How was I to know "staying to help" meant leaving at 7.30 instead of 7?!? We had to be out the house by 8.15. We were a bit late - but I was very grumpy.

Catbag, i got a runner. At least i can go for a lovely stroll in the Forest while he gets sticky and muddy with the club; or just pack him off with a running buggy in a few months time :o the original plan was to get him a ssc and they could bugger off for a few hours together but that's on the backburner now.

He is mostly good but certainly no deity... I hate typing on a phone...

fatima h&m sizing works slightly different 2-4 months etc so perhaps get some bridging clothes like I did. They're stuff is generally really good.

Bryzoan

Yes, the frog outfit she had on the other day was 2-4monthd. I thought with some 0-3 being too big then that would be too but it fit well. Her dresses that she has fit so she may have to be girly for a few weeks

We may have the same frog outfit.... Stripy leggings?

Yes that's the one katie I put a photo on the Facebook group. I love it, I love the leggings. May have to see if they have more similar

fatima they do - we have the elephant one - blue elephant and blue stripes!

No Kirrin, there aren't actually. Both my grand mothers had fraternal twins but I am the first to have them since then. My cousin had IVF. 2 embryos put back and one split, 2 identical boys and a singleton girl :)

My husband is a big fat slob. Never seen it as an advantage before. I am, however, a Kindle widow.

Pissing it down with rain here. The garden is a bog. Still. Hating this winter. We haven't had a sunny weekend for months and months. In fact I think the last was in October when LO was born. And I was in hospital. I'm sick of grey bloody skies and want to plan a short trip away but daren't in case we spend the entire time sitting around like at home but without our dvds and housework and books to keep us entertained. I want to have long walks with the dog but can't when the paths are either too boggy for the pram or too slippery for me to risk carrying LO in the baby carrier thing. Even the bloody river nearby is so full they have closed the footpaths alongside it. Which are great for walks as long as you don't mind being run off the path by cyclists every few minutes. To be fair, they are cycle paths, not footpaths.

Every time the poor dog comes inside he brings half the garden with him in mud form and I'm moppng the bloody floors every morning. Shiny sink? Ha! Shiny floors is what I need to do every morning. Just glad we live in a small house so it doesn't take too long.

Oh, and cerazette. It is a bastard of a pill. My hair is greasy by mid afternoon, my moods are all over the place and AF is pretty much always there, and when she's not, she's threatening to be. DH getting snip in April, and it won't be a minute too soon as I am so sick of hormones and remembering to take the bloody thing. Oh, and that thing the OB GYN said about it not making me put on weight? A lie. I have put on 3kg since I started taking it. And those 3kg are nothing to do with kitkats and crisps. Much.

Rant over, toddler woken up from nap.

If the smell didnt give it away, then the look of deep satisfaction on DS's face would tell me there was a poo in the vicinity.

pixies Weepy hugs. Check your inbox xx

Bugger. Because we don't live in Edinburgh any more we got stuck with a fife dental hospital to fix man child. There goes my trip to the city

Going to sort through M's outgrown clothes and put them in vacuum packs in case I we have another on eBay. Would you believe she's in 3-6months at 8.5weeks?!

I am a diving and landrover widow. I have told DP to take next winter season off diving to give me a chance to catch up with quals so we can dive together. He is having none of it . What bugs me is all our his hobbies are ludicrously expensive.

I am hoping to get out sailing again this season. I missed it a lot last year. When do you think we could take M out with us?

My step brother is captain of the

Try having horses :)

Garden - ds still dribbles with size 2 teats. Did your girls? Was wondering whether to switch as feeds take about 40mins
