That's good mama

utopian check out www.woking.gov.uk/leisure/leisurecentrepool. I haven't tried this time but did a short swimming course there with dd2. The toddler splash sessions are unguided but nice enough although the Sunday one is best to book a place. There always used to be a buggy fit class in the same park but it clashed with drop off/pick of dd1 so didn't look too far into it. Had a quick look on link but only got my phone so prob best to call them. If not, am pretty sure there's one in nearby Guildford in Stoke park. The spectrum pool in Guildford is great for los once they start walking.
Sheerwater sure start gave me a leaflet for a massage course last time I took dd to be weighed there - I couldn't fit it in so binned it but contact details here (sheerwater comes under caring day care) www.surreycc.gov.uk/people-and-community/family-information-service/support-for-parents-and-carers/sure-start-childrens-centres-in-surrey/contact-details-for-sure-start-childrens-centres-in-surrey/sure-start-childrens-centres-in-woking
There'll be nct bumps and babes group too - again dd being my 3rd I don't go to any but know there will be some.
Let me know if you need any other info.

Zzzzz second wake up here. Glad it's Sunday tomorrow, I love Sundays as dp is home, might even get a cheeky lie in!

SpottyTeacakes · 24/02/2013 03:18

Hmm Sunday today I mean Grin

WLmum · 24/02/2013 03:18

Meant to say I did aquatots swimming (or something similar) with dd1 and it was fab so check that out too

SpottyTeacakes · 24/02/2013 03:23

Argh I meant today! Today is Sunday. I give up! Blush

PurplePidjin · 24/02/2013 03:53

My last period was a year ago today

EggsMichelle · 24/02/2013 05:05

That's nostalgic Pidj! Mine was 26th January (body decided to play tricks on me before falling pregnant!)

Has anyone else's lo got a built in alarm clock? Regardless of the time he goes to bed, F always wakes for his first feed at 12,30ish, it's very clever! It's looking like a much better night than last night, he has just fed and slept.

If the house work is done, might persuade DH to let us go to mil for Sunday roast.

HoneyMumandSon · 24/02/2013 05:20

eggs yup to built in alarm clock. We trief dteam feeds but made no difference as he still woke at the same time.

SpottyTeacakes · 24/02/2013 06:05

Nope, no pattern here!

I've still got my stupid period, it's really light though. Apparently only 2% of people get their period when ebf Hmm

WLmum · 24/02/2013 06:09

ispy I'll try that hold, hD assumed that dd was a bit young buy maybe not - she'll be 10 weeks on tues. How old is n?

SpottyTeacakes · 24/02/2013 06:34

Dd always gets up at 6. Today she is still asleep Shock ds is wido though Hmm. Bacon sandwiches for breakfast Grin (sorry I always talk about food!)

utopian99 · 24/02/2013 07:00

Mmm bacon. Ate entirely too much cake at this do yesterday and heartily pissed off with myself but it was so nice.

Ds always wakes at the same intervals despite original bedtime too.- except tonight as i was so sleepy at his 1.30 feed i fed him lying down (safe co sleeping position), next woke up at 6.30! Shock

Great for sleep, not for dh and i getting our own bed/snuggles though. Also he now seems to be the Most Wriggly Baby in Manchester..

Thanks for the links wl, will be looking into those! (I remember the spectrum from when we were little - bet things have changed though..)

SpottyTeacakes · 24/02/2013 07:03

Utopian the spectrum is tiny these days, it's definitely shrunk Wink has a costa now though! How long are you going to be in the area?

Chloe55 · 24/02/2013 07:38

Oh dear eggs that's worrying, hope she makes a safe return, keep us posted.

I went to bed at 9pm, co-slept all night, I def fed 4 times as I remember switching sides but most if it was done in a sleepy fashion, have no idea about the times and it was all very calm so feel like I've had a pretty good sleep. Dh has taken her now, after dressing her in jeans and an I love mummy top-she looks so grown up ShockSad and now I'm gonna get a bit more kip before she comes back to bed for her morning 20min nap Smile

utopian99 · 24/02/2013 08:06

spotty we'll be at least 6 months I think - looking for somewhere to buy to live in London but need to work out where and sell our place up here first.. where are you?

SpottyTeacakes · 24/02/2013 08:15

I'm just the other side of Haslemere. Not that close but Guildford is our nearest big town and where we go if we want to go shopping etc

IsThatTrue · 24/02/2013 08:43

Oo if anyone fancies a meet in Guildford I could make it. I'm out near Croydon but its not far down the A3, we go to spectrum swimming with the big kids every few months.

SpottyTeacakes · 24/02/2013 09:21

I'm up for a Guildford meet!

WLmum · 24/02/2013 10:05

Guildford meet good for me too!

WillYouDoTheFandango · 24/02/2013 10:52

I STILL have my period, it's 18 days and counting. I only had 5 days between lochia and period, fed up now!

Hope she's found soon Eggs

Jamie got up at 4 and 7 last night. I've only had 2 nights of 7 hours solid sleep, but they were soooo good! Although I think I'll miss him when he starts sleeping through Blush I'm such a sap now!

SpottyTeacakes · 24/02/2013 10:56

Envy WillYou! Thirteen weeks and only two times where I've had 3 1/2 hours sleep in a row!

WillYouDoTheFandango · 24/02/2013 11:01

Oops sorry Spotty I am a dreadful insomniac if that helps though? Quite often he'll be snoring away and I lie wide awake all night Angry

SpottyTeacakes · 24/02/2013 11:25

It's awful when they're asleep and you're not isn't it? It seems like such a waste! The past couple of nights I've struggled getting back to sleep after the 2/3 o'clock feed. It's ok though, not as bad as when I was in hospital for steroids and they woke me every hour for four nights Angry just what I needed before labour Grin

WillYouDoTheFandango · 24/02/2013 11:36

Grin ah hospital wards, the least relaxing place ever! I often think about the 2 19 year old girls who were on the ward when I got induced. They had hyperemesis and were 10 and 12 weeks gone. It was 4am when my waters went and I made a ooh noise at the pop. I then did 2 hours on all fours reading heat and chatting to the other ladies. I could see these 2 white faces poking out of their beds and one said please stop you're terrifying me! I wasn't even moaning mooing or anything! Just reading bikini body stories and looking where one direction had been spotted. God help them When it's their turn!

SpottyTeacakes · 24/02/2013 11:42

Oh you should have started mooing after that Wink
