I could never eat a singular pringle. I only eat things in even numbers. True story.

LuisGarcia · 31/05/2013 01:20

lots is an even number

ChasingDaisy · 31/05/2013 01:23

Ha, yes, lots it is then.

Fuck, you've just made me realise I'm starving.

how's the knee?

LuisGarcia · 31/05/2013 01:23

stuntnun is kicking my ass

LuisGarcia · 31/05/2013 01:29

My knees are bad. That's a gimme now.

LuisGarcia · 31/05/2013 01:29

You say you're hungry but I read pompoms as poppadums

ChasingDaisy · 31/05/2013 01:32

I just read your pompoms as pombears. Hmmm sentences I never thought I would write...

Ok, the koala is in his cot, seemingly asleep. I am going to attempt the same. Not in cot. Will see you at 3am. Although I hope you are asleep then. I do worry that you never seem to be asleep.

LuisGarcia · 31/05/2013 01:35

see you at 3. Don't worry about me (although that is very kind). The wonderful MrsG has my back.

itsnotyouitsMeals · 31/05/2013 01:40

Up again. Sigh. Hope no one else is

LuisGarcia · 31/05/2013 01:43

holds hands again

itsnotyouitsMeals · 31/05/2013 01:54

Just you and me eh luis?

LuisGarcia · 31/05/2013 02:00

How's your snotbucket doing?

LuisGarcia · 31/05/2013 03:00

Hi chasing. Welcome back. Yes, I'm still here.

Clarella · 31/05/2013 03:01

I'm here. long time no post. not been on mn sorry. hope all are well.

reflux seems lots better. nights are not! unbelievably back on colief after actually prescribed by doctor?! I stuck nose up at it but after a little today his indeterminable wind which has returned seems better. (we did coilef ages ago) I'm picking up that lactose intolerance can come and go a bit?? he had his first illness last week.

I had a car crash today. with a blood donor van. oh the irony! as crashes go it was actually really nice as a bus load of nurses piled out to console me. lo didn't even notice (the crash) and just grinned at them. spectacular scratched de.nt all down side of car. driver was at fault. was moving into left lane except I was there (didn't see me) so effectively ploughed into me. I keep thinking about him as he retires tomorrow. he had tears in his eyes as we all said goodbye.

it's probably helped stuff as resets priorities etc. if I have to continue using our bedside cot indefinitely I will and not stress about it. I sort of want to write to the driver and point out that it's ok?

still bit worried about lo's stiffness at times. hypertonic? despite sitting independently he's still very jerky and uncoordinated when bf. thus still frequently choking, fussing etc. silly mummy worries!

hope all are well?

Clarella · 31/05/2013 03:06

oh yes - I got masitis! at this stage?! wtf! I think it was worrying about los kidneys.

he's had bladder reflux confirmed but a scan of his kidneys was good. one more scan to go but looking good :)

pombear anyone?

Clarella · 31/05/2013 03:10

oh god I just read my posts again. my baby is healthy and thriving :) I'm just now an excessive worrier Hmm Confused Grin

Hello all,

Det - am so unimpressed with your paed. Hope the dietician is more useful.

I am also finding dairy free weaning less fun. Also struggling to make time for it as dd is also still quite full on and needs spoon feeding sometimes. I panic at lunchtimes when her yoghurt is going everywhere and g is also eating. It doesn't help that I'd also like to delay gluten and oats another couple of months as dh is a coeliac.

Kids are over their illness now but I am totally over them both constantly abseiling from my hair. Mil has said she will have them tomorrow while I go and get my first hair cut since g's arrival. It will be my first totally child free 2 hrs. Very excited. Thinking of being radical and going for a pixie crop.

Eliza great that you can do the tube now.

Clarella - might be worth seeing a physio for reassurance about the tone?

Night all.

itsnotyouitsMeals · 31/05/2013 05:18

Up. Yawn.

StuntNun · 31/05/2013 05:32

Morning. We're up with the larks today. J is singing to my hair then pulling it and trying to eat it. It would be quite cute if it wasn't so early painful.
