Thanks, birdies not feeling better ATM but it is only day two of daktarin, so fingers crossed soon!

meringue ah, you're a couple of years older than me. I'm from Armadale. Have completely outed myself if anyone from back home is reading this, as between my job, where I live and my dc names, I am completely and easily identifiable!

I'm back home next weekend for ds's birthday - we should meet one time I'm up for a longer visit!

If the weather is good, I think we'll go to the zoo on Friday. Can't wait - penguin parade!

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes. We have had a fab day with friends and family. My dad bought ds a batmobile. An actual powered one he can drive. Where the hell shall I put it???

Didn't realise id made the last post (woo) I thought fourlegs was ignoring my question and the rest of you had stopped talking :-D.... but no its a new thread :-D

Back to work sunday I nipped in yesterday It was my friends last day before mat leave so I got a card and stuck some painkillers on the front like they'll help ha and crocheted a boob beanie and a star shaped blanket.

Pascha lifes so cruel sometimes, those poor girls thats so sad.

Dps cousin has a 5 week old whos in leg braces etc because of a club foot, ive never met them but everytime I hear tales of his crying and drs doing things to him I feel almost sick with sorry for the poor soul.

Bugsy thrush in the boobs how does this happen and how do you get rid? Not shy to say im glad ive had no further boob ishoos after fukin abcess gate id end up hacking them off myself.

Lora1982 · 23/01/2014 10:25

Happy birthday Darcie!

glorious · 23/01/2014 16:42

Happy birthday Darcie!

lora love the knitted boob! Grin Poor little newborn Sad

pascha if tomorrow doesn't work out we can fix another date of course. But I've got my fingers crossed!

mrsbug · 23/01/2014 18:09

Happy birthday Darcie!

Day three back at work. Yuk. Dd is still enjoying nursery although she has another tooth coming through and is generally miserable today.

LetThereBeCupcakes · 23/01/2014 18:41

Happy birthday Darcie!

DS went up to a little boy who was crying and gave him a huge hug - so cute!

Has anybody started offering cows milk as a drink yet? How do I go about it? Just put some in his cup and hand it over?

BuntyCollocks · 23/01/2014 18:44

Happy birthday, darcie!

lora I think it's from when she accidentally broke the skin when she pulled off the boob violently, it let in some nasties, and it started from there. Couldn't get through to my doctors today despite phoning for 90 mins, so I'm going to see if I can get in with out of hours tonight. :(

pascha fingers crossed for car!

happy hope your scan was a positive one x

Happy birthday Darcie!

Ow Bunty, hope that gets better soon :(

How sweet, Cupcakes!

We tried to put cows milk in his bedtime bottle - that went down like a lead balloon :)

lollipoppi · 23/01/2014 18:55

Thanks all, had a lovely day, we went to baby splash this morning then family came round this afternoon

Happy hope your ok, how did the scan go?

Cupcake that's adorable!

Pascha hope the car gets fixed and you can have your meet up

Dd is way over tired now after today, bed time all round Smile

AppleCrumples · 23/01/2014 19:54

Happy birthday darcie.

pascha those poor girls, thats so sad :( Hopeyour car is sorted soon.

cupcakes we tried cows milk in Ivys cup and she wasn't at all intrested. The others were simikar i think and seem ok for not having cups of milk after bf stopped (at 10, 12 and 13 months)

happy hope your ok x

bunty hope you get to see dr soon. poor you, you'd think we'd all be safe from problems at this point!

ivy all quiet today, bit worried shes coming down with something!

Lostbobbles · 23/01/2014 20:55

Happy Birthday Darcie x and belated to Callum for yesterday.

Loving the sound of the batmobile, was going to get L a push along sit in beetle but DH gave me the look so didn't pursue.

Creepy good to hear you had a good first day at work. Oh and random but how the hell did you ever manage the 30day shred? I did level 1 the other night and have already veered onto 60 days trying for alternate days and not sure that is going to happen my body is aching.

Pascha, such tragic news, life is so cruel, poor family. One of DD1 school friends mum passed last year leaving two young children. When I see the little girl and her dad it just breaks my heart.

Lolli, wish your dad well x

Lostbobbles · 23/01/2014 21:06

Cupcakes, L is drinking cows milk. I warm it a bit and put it in a sippy cup. Wasn't greatly received at first but drinks it now.

Also I have over the last week just changed bed bf for cup is bit whingey at first but I pretend to drink the cup and she then wants it Grin did give in and bf in middle of night couple of days ago though

Feel little bit sad at giving up BF but weirdly liberated at same time.

happyhow · 23/01/2014 21:13

Scan as expected. Baby measured 6 +2 and should've been 13 today by their dates. Had MVA this afternoon after waiting for 4 bloody hours and being told very little. Took 10 mins and was horrendous emotionally. I wasn't sure about being awake for it - NEVER again! Just seemed so unnatural and wrong. And I was far too aware of what was going on and being a biologist, I understood everything that was being said and knew all the physiology etc. I currently have a GIANT glass of wine in my hand....

We've tried B with cows milk but he's not really fussed. Gets a huge serving of yogurt from us every tea time and nursery give him that plus cheese/milk etc in his food.

Pascha, how awful. Those poor girls.

Pascha · 23/01/2014 21:24

Oh Happyhow I'm so sorry. Take care of yourself and enjoy that Wine tonight. X

Daniel takes any milk from any vessel. He's such a greedyguts likes boobies best but quite happily sips cows milk or any other milk from a sippy cup or an open cup if I help him

Very cute, cupcakes they are so lovely at this age aren't they?

Car is fixed. Tomorrow is on!

Lostbobbles · 23/01/2014 22:05

So sorry Happy, best wishes and enjoy the Wine. Very emotional experience.

Angielka · 24/01/2014 08:36

happy I'm so very sorry Thanks Look after yourself won't you.

cupcakes that's really cute, bless!

I'm on my way to meet pascha !

happyhow · 24/01/2014 10:54

Thanks. I'm not too bad. Knackered and sore after walking B to nursery this morning though.

Had a very sickly sweet midwife too that I wanted to punch! She did my head in and made it worse! "Was it sore..? Is that why you're crying?" (Complete with patronising held tilt). "No! It's the whole fucking situation!" I was close to telling her to fuck off but held my tongue. Hubby had to leave immediately after to get B from nursery which was awful as I was left on my own for the next hour. He felt horrendous leaving me upset but we couldn't do anything about it. I sincerely hope I never have to go through that again.

Glorious and Pascha, have fun today!! Smile
