Please give your baby's favourite foods so we can get some ideas from each other.

Morning all, good nights? Not too fucking bad here just fucking 4 again for dummy. Forgivable, only swearing cos its cunting weds.

sorry o isnt well lily hope she feels better soon!

bastard miserable fucking weather here. Guess we won't be going to the park today then!

Not pox - which is really good news as we have way too much going on at the moment to be cooped up with it. I think g just does a very good line in viral rashes.

Poor Luis. Liked the findus quip pass.

Hope you enjoy tonight lily - and that lo feels better soon.

Reasonable night here, but DS woke at 3, was crying out every 5 mins for no apparent reason until 4, so I gave up trying to settle him in the cot and brought him in with me - whereupon he started laughing and wanting to play. He eventually went back to sleep and I was woken by my smiling laughing boy's face right in mine. So, forgive able, like kyz says, but not perfect!

Morning. It's sweary Wednesday.

horsey once he gets used to it he will love nursery, and your time with him will be that much more special for both of you.

I'm really pleased that my two have got places in the village nursery. They can be guaranteed an excellent meal a day that I don't have to think about (DD1 and I eat leftovers most lunch times as our main meal is in the evening) and nursery gives them the opportunity to learn to sit quietly if need be, have structured play, socialise with children their own age (DD1 will be in the big children group and LO will be with the 9-18months group).

I really dreaded going back to work with DD1 but once I got there it was fine. I was looking forward to work, but not to leaving her iyswim. When I moved her to nursery in september she fitted in very quickly. Her health took a nosedive but that was going to happen at some point, if not now then when she got to school.

This time I am looking forward to them going into nursery, but dreading the work side of it.

Shall post an update on FB.

luis if it helps the other night when I was up and didn't want to be I kept waking up the cat. Very childish of me I know, but her being stretched out sleeping so well was annoying me. After three wake ups she fucked off outside.

Lily I am so sorry little O is poorly. Snot has such an effect on them at this age, and a sore throat is utterly horrid. It took J a good 2 weeks to get better, and is still not 100% yet.

The clothes came from Tesco, and were given to the kids with the tags removed. I know I am ungrateful. I also know that they cost a lot of money

I have another sodding period! Having about a week inbetween them it seems. I hope things settle soon as my mood dips and I feel very very tearful. Fucking hormones.

Ooh, and I bought some Aveeno yesterday and it is lovely so far. Please tell me its uses again? I am putting it on Js eczema and also on his cradle cap, plus DD2 has a viral rash that is eczema like, and has been scratched - she has not scratched since I put it on

I love it when LO gets unsettled by something - a loud bang, or the dig barking, or whatever, and she kind of freezes, looks at me as if she needs some guidance on how to react. If I laugh she relaxes and laughs too. If I don't catch her eye or show myself to be relaxed she cries.

vq I get you. i hate unwanted presents. I resent people spending money on something unwanted when they could have spent it on soething useful. That might make me sound grateful, but it is really just hating not putting money to best use. When the ILs visited when LO was born they asked what we wanted as a gift. I said bibs. They bought bibs. And a completely innapropriate toy for DD1 which they took out of the box before I could hide it to return it. It's frustrating. We know the gesture is a kind one, but it's a shame. Because those 60? tthey spent on that stupid toy could have gone to far better use.

That moght make me sound ungrateful ooops

might

Oh fuck it.

pr what are your girls called?!

Awaiting phonecall from community dietitian - now that's what I call a speedy service!

DD and LO. Why? :o

YY to unwanted gifts. My dad is very into gifts for the sake of it and would send me wild in my teenage years by trying to buy my attention after he divorced my mum buying pointless but expensive crap that I didn't like or want. He couldn't understand why I wasn't grateful and I still can't couldn't understand why he didn't listen.

horsey have answered on FB. Am a little paranoid of putting too much personal stuff on here.

pr thanks. I understand totally!!! I just realised I didn't know?! Lol

Oh and snot is horrid. It's always two or three weeks here. Along with reflux. I want the weather to be better.

Yesterday was so horrific.

Weather here is rubbish too. May is normally about me whining at it being too hot and dreading summer

Morning everyone,

pig that is good service!

O slept 7.30-12.30-4.30-7 last night, but more importantly, slept in his cot!

Had big success at breakfast - avocado on toast and then he actually let me spoon feed him avocado . Feel like he actually had a proper 'meal' for the first time.

Trying roasted pepper sticks for lunch.

Ouch, my bunion is burning for some reason. They haven't troubled me for years since I have stopped wearing heels. Why would it flare up now?!

Lots of people back at work soon. My MA runs out in July so need to look for a 2 days a week part time job. Would absolutely love to be a sahm, I'm really not the career type. Dreading leaving O. Trying to get him used to my parents as much as possible as they will be looking after him while I work. MIL was supposed to be doing a day a week but I'm not allowing that now.

I'm due at work at 2pm. Currently snuggled up with L in a blanket. He had a proper 'bf and doze off' moment which he's usually too distracted for these days. Enjoying the snuggles.

Maternity leave has been wonderful.

It was about at this stage of maternity leave with DD1 that DH and I decided to postpone the snip, just in case. Maternity leave is wonderful and am very aware that this is my last one. I might take some time out again in a few years, but before that I've got some ass to kick.

chasingavocado on toast sounds like a yummy breakfast I might try. For me! Any tips on bunion friendly pretty shoes?

bp a community dietician is good, let alone one on wheels!

Sorry, I think I might have just made up that the dietician was mobile. Is she? He?
