Lostbobbles · 09/10/2013 09:55

Just off to swimming, well DD2 not me Grin

Angie my DD1 suggestion's for cat name were.... Catty lot of thought went into that and Maude!! the mind boggles

Lostbobbles · 09/10/2013 10:13

Bunty, best wishes for today, thinking of you and your friends xThanks

lollipoppi · 09/10/2013 10:39

Oh Gish yes Bunty thinking of you today xxx

lollipoppi · 09/10/2013 10:39

Gosh, not Gish!

CreepyCrawly · 09/10/2013 11:25

Hoping today goes as well as it can bunty

Pleased to hear babies are on the mend.

Very jealous of the kitten, it's a cutie. I'd call it Darren, but then my dog is called Paul so feel free to ignore me Grin

Molly is gorgeous too, and both your DDs lolli. Dan looks cheeky pascha. I've put a new one of nancy on my profile, it's sideways though.

Enjoy swimming lost!

Anyone else's baby turn their tongue upside down?!

BuntyCollocks · 09/10/2013 11:29

Hello all, thanks for the kind wishes. Today went as well as it could, his mummy and daddy were so brave and strong, I'm in awe. It was a lovely ceremony, and the poem is written in his card was read which was nice.

Cuddling teeny to sleep and counting my blessings.

Everyone's babies are gorgeous!

octanegirl · 09/10/2013 14:26

Hello all - well nothing much new to report. I guess all the babies are now at the age that nothing particularly noteworthy happens now till they START WALKING! :) So far F has four little teeth and still commando crawls about. Not pulling himself up on anything, in fact zero desire to do so!

In other news my youngest sister (10yrs younger) has just had her 12 week scan. She had a m/c in July so was on tenterhooks. I think she's allowing herself to relax a little.....

newbie6 · 09/10/2013 17:23

Hi all,

Glad today went as well as it could bunty, it's amazing how strong people can be.

As for me, am at the end of my tether. Sleeping is still a nightmare, still no teeth, not sure what has happened to my good sleeper, serves me right probably for thinking we'd won the lottery when it came to a baby who would sleep :)

Feel as though I'm the only one with a baby who isn't sleeping in RL but maybe my friends are just telling lies, ha ha!

BuntyCollocks · 09/10/2013 18:43

Have had a screaming baby all day, who didn't sleep last night, and had barely napped. Head thumping. Feeding her hopefully to sleep now. The screaming has literally been all day bar minutes. Poor wee mite. Something not right.

glorious · 09/10/2013 18:58

Oh bunty I'm sorry, that's the last thing you needed. I'm glad it went as well as could be expected.

creepy Ellen does the tongue acrobatics.

Look at those babies! Dan is a proper little chap isn't he pascha. And Molly and kitten both super cute angielka. And lovely pic of the two together lolli. I've added one of Ellen from about a month ago. It's a dreadful picture (she doesn't actually have red eyes, honest!) but a typical expression so I like it Smile

AppleCrumples · 09/10/2013 23:31

Oh bunty hope she is ok.

Managed to get a (sideways) pic up earlier of Ivy. The babies are all growing up. 9 months has gone so quick.

Ivy got herself up on her feet earlier, she looked so pleased with herseld (then fell over). I actually met a 9 month old yesterday who is already walking Shock

Birdies · 10/10/2013 13:21

I've taken a quick photo of X just to put on here!

Ive loved seeing the babies again, I sort of think I would recognise them now if I saw them out and about! They are such a sweet little bunch and so nice to see how they have all grown.

bunty how is C now, hope she is much better?

apple walking at 9 months, wow! Ivy is doing great to be pulling herself up. Do you think I should get something X could try to pull herself up on as our sofas are a bit high. Or do I leave her to it? And crawling wise she gets into position but one leg is tucked under her and as soon as she gets it out she falls flat onto her tummy. Am I meant to be helping her?!

I've been a bit quiet as still waiting for scan results for my DD1 who has an underlying medical condition. Am so scared of what they might say, and I daren't phone to chase them.

Hope everyone else is ok. And hope the other poorly babies are doing better.

Don't all our babies look amazing? Its fascinating to put a face to all the names. Wonder what they would do if they all met?

Birdies Daniel has just started pulling up to knees in the last week. This morning he got himself wedged on top of the (full) laundry basket. It made me laugh so much I took a photo which I'm uploading now. He has a vtech first steps walker for christmas but it wouldn't surprise me if he got it by november the way he's going.

Lora1982 · 10/10/2013 16:59

I dont want to post the last picture I took of him. It involved nappy off time, shit everywhere... including in/on his new crocodile xylophone thingy... and in his mouth :(

LetThereBeCupcakes · 10/10/2013 18:53

I've added a picture of DS to my profile now. Very dribbly, as usual!

Birdies Hope when the results arrive it is good news for your DD1.

Bunty how is C doing now?

We have fairly major Separation Anxiety at the moment. My mum has DS for a couple of hours every Thursday afternoon so I can take the dogs to a training class and apparently he was very unsettled, bless him. Probably not helped by the fact that he has another tooth coming through.

BuntyCollocks · 10/10/2013 19:07

Ew, lora ! Shock

C is still whingey, thanks for asking, though. Her pee stinks, so been following her with a bowl for half an hour - no pee. Typically last night she peed on the floor. Twice.

No poo today either. Could be a rough night.

Cupcakes can't see your pic, your profile isn't public. Separation anxiety is rubbish isn't it? Dan had it a bit a month ago, although he settled once I or DH had been gone a few minutes. He gets very smiley when DH gets in from work, then very upset when he goes out of the room to take his boots off. DH has to do all his bits and pieces with Danny clamped to his leg or chest or whatever. Its quite sweet to watch really.

Bunty Hows Cam this morning? Did you get a sample in the end?

Dexter sounds as disgusting as Daniel, Lora Smile

So sock-ons become sock-off-and-fling-across-the-room for Dan Hmm. Another good idea bites the dust! Thank goodness for tights weather.

Lostbobbles · 11/10/2013 10:38

Have just updated a pic of Lois. So fab to see all the babies pic's all growing up so quick....

Well we finally have a tooth Smile fingers crossed the bowels will now sort themselves out RANK....

Pascha, Lol on the sock off's! what about the little leather shoes?

Bunty, how's cam?

Anyone know where you can buy the sleepsuits with the non slip soles?

Angie, does the cat have a name yet?

LetThereBeCupcakes · 11/10/2013 11:18

Doh! Am on phone but will fix profile when I get back in. Currently sitting in the car waiting for DS to wake up. Baby gym really wears him out. Feel a bit guilty though as the dogs are in the house alone waiting for me.

lost our last lot of Sainsbury's sleepsuits had non-slip soles. They were the next ones up from the cheap plain ones. I think about £11 for 3.

Tugstonia · 11/10/2013 13:06

Cupcakes I'm also sitting in the car waiting for dd to wake up! It's chucking it down outside and it's all nice and cosy in here.

How is everyone and how are all the babies? Hope the poorly ones are better now. Dd still v snotty and has a barking cough. She seems fine in herself but has had this cough for a couple of weeks now. Think I should take her to the gp even though it's probably pointless.

Bunty was thinking of you on weds, your friends sound so strong.

When I get in I'll put up a pic of my little munchkin, your babies are so cute.

Birdies · 11/10/2013 13:53

Thank you cupcakes. Two weeks and still heard nothing. Very tempted to contact them today but keep avoiding it.

Wow lois has so much lovely hair!

Shit in his mouth lora? No way?!

I just had to pay £60 to have my teeth cleaned by a hygienist. £60 for a scraping, surely that's a bit much?!

newbie6 · 11/10/2013 18:16

Hi all,

Think I've managed to upload a photo of my wee one! Can't believe we have babies standing and crawling, my wee one must be lazy, hee hee! X

BuntyCollocks · 11/10/2013 18:41

Didn't manage a sample, pascha and lost, the minute I went to get ds, she pissed all over the floor. Hmm

She is drinking and having more breastfeeds, but her pee smells like she's dehydrated. It is clear and not at all dark. Confused by it all. Still quite whingey, and not sleeping briliantly, but not as bad as it had been at its worst.

Lois has gorgeous hair!

tugs they are amazing. I'm in awe. I was/am a little wet puddle on the floor, and they're so dignified and calm for the most part. I think there is still shock there, especially with his daddy.
