Must.go.to.sleep. and stop trying to think of swearwords

Goodnight quiche. See you in 2 hours. Luffs you all.

MissMummy1 · 20/05/2013 21:19

LOL at vq

Staggered once more by the amazing people on here (pp I am looking at you!) I don't view you all as strangers but friends, despite having only met a downright lovely handful of you!

FXd det you get something!

YW how are you feeling?

Aaaaand Matilda is wide awake. Wired in fact. Currently biting lumps out of me while giggling hysterically Hmm

BigPigLittlePig · 20/05/2013 21:24

Great minds, eh VQ?

Night chasing - fc it's a good'un.

ChasingDaisy · 20/05/2013 21:24

Snap MM the quichettes and Luis (Luis and the Quichettes - a new band perhaps?) are like friends to me. I also feel like I know all of the quiche babies really well and am very fond of them all Smile

TheDetective · 20/05/2013 21:26

It's a wankstain every day then!

TheDetective · 20/05/2013 21:27

Please Pidj!

Passmethecrisps · 20/05/2013 21:29

Cripes det! I really hope you get some.

VQ I asked the dietician about going on to Lipl 2. She said 6 months whether weaning or not. Didn't need to be 'on the nose' but it has the necessary nutrients for a 6 month old.

Oh and good job at docs today. Of course you are doing a great job!

Welcome esme!

Glad you are feeling better YW. I remember at about Christmas time having some kind of bug which started by a horrendous attack of acid reflux in the middle of the night. It was awful. I remember lying there feeling utterly miserable thinking at least I knew what was wrong with me and could go and get down meds. Poor babies!

Poor you and E horsey. That sounds a lot to me but P has never been a chucker so I have no sense of scale. I would mention it to te docs just to be sure.

Love the name inspiration chat. I love how a name can mean nothing until you see the baby attached and then it takes on a whole new level. I love all the quiche baby names. I am always showing DH the pics on Facebook and he always says "oh, that's a nice name". I think the babies make their own names work.

We picked Penelope years and years ago when having a red wine chat at the kitchen table. We wanted a name which could be big or small. If that makes sense? I am a sucker for daisy, Molly and so on but we wanted something where she would have some sort of choice. I hate my name so this was important. I had real problems with a boy's name though. I was worrying as I felt I was struggling to bond with a boy with no name. We went for Henry but I am not sure a potential master crisp would get this moniker.

I can't sneeze with my legs open. Blush

PurplePidjin · 20/05/2013 21:31

She has your details. Hopefully local enough to get some sorted tonight or first thing tomorrow. Plus lots of reposts across forums probably even nethuns to try and help. Hippy mamas are kinda good like that Wink

BigPigLittlePig · 20/05/2013 21:32

I'm not sure I want to know the story behind how you discovered that det.

PurplePidjin · 20/05/2013 21:33

Pass, your dd has my name and I'm never the long version, hate it Blush sorry!

Passmethecrisps · 20/05/2013 21:36

Bad times det. Bad times

Passmethecrisps · 20/05/2013 21:37

PP it's all good! You never can tell. Just know that anytime I see your name I smile!

PurplePidjin · 20/05/2013 21:39

I've pmed your profile to a mama who knows someone who might have spare and I'm waiting to get approved to your local sling group, then i can add you - they have contacts too :)

kirrinIsland · 20/05/2013 21:39

Thanks for all the good luck wishes :) Work went fine. They all seem like a nice bunch. I did have duck into the loos a couple of times to hand express as I got quite sore and I did miss my girls but all in all it was a good day.

chasing hope you are ok. We are all here for you. Get some rl advice too. You are not trapped, you just think you are ((hugs))

Luis hope you get some sleep soon - can you take a break somehow? How are the knees?

detective glad the room swap worked :) light at the end of the tunnel...
Hope you get the milk sorted.

VQ how are you and J feeling? Better I hope.

Ouch Sophia :(

Have a good trip mrsJJ

2 nights' sleep spa break sounds fab izzy your family are ace :)

Bastard car crashers pikz :(

Welcome esme :)

Sorry - I'm sure I've forgotten things - I haven't logged on all day so I've a lot to catch up on between making lunch and bottles etc for tomorrow.

Just off for a shower and then bed. N slept from half 7 til half 1, and then til half 6 last night. I can't remember the last time she didn't wake up at least every 3 hours. I'm hoping for the same tonight - though I expect I'll be disappointed Grin

Elizadoesdolittle · 20/05/2013 21:43

pass We have similar name tastes. I wanted Daisy for DD1 but DH veoted it. Instead it's her middle name. DD2 was going to be Henry if she was a boy. Oscar was also in contention but it didn't flow with our surname. vq Jacob is a lovely name. Yes it's getting more popular but I don't think that matters in the great scheme of things. DD1's name has become really popular but I love it, she suits it and I think that's all that matters.

Welcome to the quiche esme

We received an offer on our house today. A shit one so was turned down flately but it's encouraging. We are willing to go lower than any of our previous buyers managed as they are cash buyers so could move quickly but they went 35k below asking price. No point entertaining taking this as it would mean we couldn't afford the mortgage on the place we want to buy. Hopefully they will come back with a decent offer.

Well at the moment both girls are sleeping peacefully. Long may it continue. Am shattered. Must make sure I go to bed at a decent hour. Am rubbish when I don't have someone to tell me to go to bed. I stay up far too late faffing.

Pikz · 20/05/2013 21:43

PP am in awe of you! Wow! Det I hope you get milk shortly.

Kirrin yay for good first days.

Am curled up in bed after my arse wankbadgering shitty day. Roll on tomorrow.

Elizadoesdolittle · 20/05/2013 21:45

Forgot to add Izzy sounds fab. Enjoy every second, you deserve it.

pilkz Bastards. As I pranged my car on Friday I feel your pain. But it was my own fault. Glad you're ok.

Kirren Crossposts. Glad you're day went well.

Passmethecrisps · 20/05/2013 21:51

Oh aye!

izzy that sounds looooooovely! Nice for you!

And Holy fuck pikz that must have been nasty. Glad you drive a tank. It is bad enough driving with your own baby in the car but with someone else's you feel extra aware if everything. But you can't legislate for other people.

eliza we have awesome taste!

Passmethecrisps · 20/05/2013 21:52

I meant to ask if you are sore anywhere pizk? Maybe you could have a nice warm bath and some Wine

horseylady · 20/05/2013 21:52

Might be a cold he just keeps coughing to vom ;
:( just done whole nighttime clothes change after he coughed till he puked. vq does j do this??!! He was last fed at 6.30?? And has screamed on and off since then?? Then he just decides he needs to be sick and just coughs and coughs and coughs till he shifts it? Is this normal??? It doesn't feel normal? My cousin looked shocked when she saw him do it?

det the feed on Facebook is lovely!!! The ladies on there are so kind!!

TheDetective · 20/05/2013 22:02

FFS! DP is pulling a face about BM. He won't go for it, and I am dead on my feet.

He can be such a fucking man tosser sometimes. Closed minded bastard.

He just keeps saying let's see how he is overnight with the vanilla in it.

Well, great. I hope he enjoys his night, because I am not dealing with the fall out. He can. Angry
