As I so frivolously finished the last thread, I thought I'd better start a new one. Go!

still no festive name inspiration ....

Lora1982 · 24/12/2013 08:41

I was thinking claura1982 or something but if I stick with the app I cant change it. if I want to change it I have to use the website and be subjected to taking five hrs to type a post. so im staying as lora1982. ... but if you could all read it as claura1982 that'd be great, ta.

Hello Claura Xmas Grin

Happy birthday Minibugs!! Cake

Safely at mum & dad's. Trip only took 7 hrs this time, down from 9 last time. (Pre baby it was 5 Xmas Hmm). Glad we came on Sunday as weather is horrid now.

LO seems to have some sort of bug as every morning poo for the last week as been huge, explosive and leaky. Others through the day are sometimes similar, sometimes ok. May put him on Dioralyte for 12 hrs today so he is good to eat his Christmas dinner tomorrow.

DP in bad mood as he dealt with it this morning while I was fast asleep. Didn't know where everything is at my mum & dad's and found that they only have vinegar surface cleaner (they are Eco warriors). DP was disgusted.

Hi claura Wink

Tired today. Ivy up in the night and ds2 appeared at 6am wondering where his presents were! We have all now listened to too much 1direction but at least hes happy!

Hope everyone all ready for christmas now and not getting too battered by this storm

LetThereBeCupcakes · 24/12/2013 18:45

It's nearly Christmas! DS slept really badly last night but DH actually got up with him so I got some sleep. Hoping for a smoother night tonight. I have mastitis again, plus a throat infection so could do wit the extra rest.

Managed to finish DS' stocking today - just need to wrap the presents to go in it! I shall be scoffing homemade mince pies whilst I work. Bliss!

If I don't get online tomorrow, merry Christmas all!

bugsyclaus · 24/12/2013 19:52

Thanks for all the birthday wishes and merry Christmas for tomorrow Xmas Grin Cake Wine

CreepyCrawly · 24/12/2013 21:36

Happy birthday to your DS apple.

cupcakes boo to mastitis :( feel better soon x

Had a little comedian on my hands this evening, blowing raspberries on my boob and then laughing her head off. She sticks her tongue out now when I sing the green frog song from rhyme time and puts her hand over her mouth if I gasp Grin

Merry Christmas to you all, have lovely days tomorrow x

AngelHairAngielka · 24/12/2013 22:04

Merry Christmas! Hope you all have fun-filled restful delicious days Xmas Grin

Lostbaubles · 24/12/2013 22:14

Merry Xmas to you all if I don't get chance to wish tomorrow.

Hope your DS had lovely b-day apples

I'm am officially wrapped out. Dd1 is totally spoilt. I have gone mental as usual poor DD2 looks like the forgotten child! but I'm pleased I managed some sense Grin

We are off to my bro's tomorrow back Boxing Day eve, they know how to party! my liver is feeling the trauma already! Still feeling a little fuzzy from girls dinner last night! Porn star martini's are not my friend

Enjoy all x

Happy Christmas everyone!

Just trying to feed E to sleep, not very successfully so far as she got worked up in the car on the way home from my aunt's. She's vegan but very kindly did us a lovely turkey.

cupcakes I'm glad DP is being more helpful. Yum to mince pies.

How were all the babies with their presents? E loved her books and musical instruments but the rest not so much as yet. I think it will all grow on her when she's not overwhelmed.

bugsyclaus · 25/12/2013 20:12

Merry Xmas everyone. I'm also feeding minibugs to sleep. It's been a long day as we had a dreadful night last night; there was a thunderstorm and it woke dd up at 3am, so she decided it was morning and didn't go back to sleep. I have cooked Xmas dinner for 8 on two hours sleep and am broken!

bugsyclaus · 25/12/2013 20:14

We hardly opened any of dd's presents from us as she had so much from gps and had her cousin to play with so it was all quite overwhelming for her.

TheHollyandtheIvyCrumples · 25/12/2013 21:59

Merry christmas all! Hope everyone had a lovely day x

Ivy seemed a bit overwhelmed and wasn't intrested in her presents. Its pretty mad here with so many. She took a shine to dd1 new buggy and had to be rescued as it topples when she tries to use it! She won't leave it alone! Tbh we didn't get Ivy much as we have so much already and its her birthday next wed.

Shes taken more steps over the last few days. Only 1 each time though. Tried to get her shoes last week but she has wierd shaped feet and nothing wouls fit.

Lora1982 · 25/12/2013 23:40

hope you've all had a great day. we did after last nights nastiness he's got a cold again so we always get a nasty night or two then.

he loved his pressies esp the tree ball vtech thing and his cars. in all his excitement he stood unsupported for a bit

suppose I should sort out his old toys tomorrow

BuntyandherMassiveGlitteryCoil · 26/12/2013 00:06

Merry Christmas, all! Hope you all had a lovely day.

Aah, my belly. Sooo full.

TheHollyandtheIvyCrumples · 26/12/2013 16:58

Dp has just asked me what we did last new year as he couldn't remember if we went out or stayed in Confused i said well i had a baby early on new years day sooo... Honestly how do you forget that!!? Shock

glorious · 26/12/2013 20:11

apples! Shock

PaschasDanglyReindeerBaubles · 26/12/2013 20:53

Shock. Idiot!

We're home instead of PILs as MIL has been violently sick all night. We had christmas day at my parents which was great fun. Both boys thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Dan loved his click-clack track and a froggie stacking thing the best, many many presents still unopened - for both boys. Grandparents have gone ridiculously overboard as usual. We haven't even got the PIL presents yet. Goodness knows where we are going to put it all.

Happy christmas everyone!

meringuesnowflakes33 · 26/12/2013 21:31

Happy Christmas everyone!

About to put a very tired and overstimulated again baby to bed. Poor little thing it has been a whirlwind!

So nice to be at my mum & dads and relax. Today we went to see BIL & SIL who live nearby and LO got loads of attention from his big cousins (5 and 8).

TheHollyandtheIvyCrumples · 26/12/2013 21:38

The funniest thing was he asked me in front of of his db and sil...hesa bit embarrassed but honestly!!!

I want to get Ivy a click clack track for next week..

Speny today moving bedrooms around. Boys now in box room and dd1 has the bigger room. Still need to move get rid of some things and get dp to move the cot but hopefully Ivy will soon be in with dd1.

pascha your poor mil, thats horrid over xmas.

bugsyclaus · 26/12/2013 23:35

Pascha your poor mil.
We still have so many unwrapped presents, luckily grandparents had asked what we wanted so our big presents were things like sing and sign classes. But they still bought lots of toys too.

Minibugs and I have yet another stinky cold Xmas Sad

lollipoppi · 27/12/2013 09:20

Happy belated Christmas all!

We had a lovely Christmas Day at home, I spent most of it cooking then had the fam round for buffet in the evening, dd was a bit overwhelmed but Ds1 loved it!
Then went to mum and dad's yesterday it was lovely

Pascha your poor mil hope she is better soon

Apples that's so funny what a plonker Grin

I can't believe the babies are turning 1 already, where has the time gone!

LetThereBeCupcakes · 27/12/2013 12:44

Fabulous Christmas here, DS loved every minute. Took all day to open the presents - he was utterly spoiled by everybody! Think we will be asking for some toy storage for his birthday.

MIL is not well so has decided to head home today rather than stay until next weekend, which is a shame. DH will be staying with her for a couple of days so he can relay her floor, which means DS and I have the house to ourselves. We're planning to try and sort through the mound of toys in his room. Think it will take all weekend!

Turkeybirdiewithcranberrysauce · 27/12/2013 13:09

Sorry for the poorly MILs.

Happy belated Christmas from me too. Glad people mostly had a good Xmas. I think it was my best yet having two babies to watch opening pressies etc.

It's X's birthday today! We are just waiting for family to arrive for her little party. She is very cheery and happy so I'm sure she must know its her special day! I'm quite excited too, can't believe my tiny little baby is 1 already!
