December 2012 - 2nd birthday party chat? Already?!

[PurplePidjin]

Here we are

Loving the Asbo teddy :o I used to have a pink lion thing that went everywhere with me, my parents quietly named it That Wretched Animal. As I can't actually remember the things real name, my parents version stuck...

R has a cow called Baa. Who says Moo

Nut always here, or on fb if you prefer the privacy, to listen

WOOHOO Spotty nearly all over

Ugh my fat typing fingers, sorry for all the typos. I don't know why I still type on the app when it is so rubbish!!!!!

Thanks ladies, good to know you don't mind. Although I don't want you to all be bored silly with my ramblings by Christmas

Spotty are you excited?are you reDy? Can you tell us about the cake??

I think I'm ready. We're not having a cake not really excited not looking forward to everyone looking at me

No cake? That's my favourite bit
I know one couple who had cheese (arranged like a cake) instead of a cake and another who had Welsh cakes . I made mine. The middle layer was red velvet cake. It was awesome!

DH & DS are poorly (not that you would know DS is sick) with hand foot and mouth.
Well, I guess DH has it too. He was hot this morning and feels all achey & tired. I'm hoping it doesn't make him too poorly.

But for some reason it has made me really want cake!

We've got a pretty hefty three course meal and it's a lunch time thing so we decided against it we're staying here after!

Ooohhh that looks lovely! How many nights will you be there?

Just the one then New York on 3rd December. So bloody excited! First time away from the dc though

At playgroup today there was a "nature treasure box" for the kids to play with. T picked up a shell, put it to his ear and waited. Then said "seaside broken, ran out of batteries, not working anymore". He's been watching Peppa Pig with the seaside episode :)

Oooo Spotty exciting, and the hotel looks lovely.

Nutella i hope DS and DH are feeling better soon

Stacks haha thats funny, i love that thought it was broken.

H is a weird child i have lost count of the amount of times shes shoved her feet and my face today and demanded that i kiss her feet

MrsNut hope they're feeling better soon

Spotty that looks amazing

Stacks bless!

hales R likes to poke his feet into my face I keep reminding him to be gentle, I'm a bit under the weather at the moment - not ill per se but a bit achy and getting tired faster than I think I ought to - so we're doing lots of Kind Hands etc. I don't buy into the stereotype that Boys Must Be Rough, all the men I know and like are kind to their friends!

Next week spotty! Try not to worry about all eyes on you - next week it will all seem right and they will excited, loving, teary eyes. Is dd excited? Lush looking hotel and NYC - amazing!
Hope everyone feels better soon. Hand foot and mouth can make them feel quite rotten.

Too right pidj. T loves me to 'bite' her piggies and sticks them up every nappy change.

Exciting spotty! Looking forward to pics once you find time after the honeymoon..

Quick announcement - O's little brother joined us 5 days early last night. Emcs which is a real bummer, but staff lovely, have managed lots of skin to skin, and feeding seems to have settled first time, which is nice..

Congratulations Utopian He really is a beautiful baby. I hope you heal quickly after your EMCS but look after yourself.

He is gorgeous I'm very jealous! Hope you're feeling ok after the emcs

Congratulations Utopian

Utopian congratulations again and best wishes for a speedy recovery from your EMCS

I have red velvet cake in the oven - anyone want a slice? Everyone welcome

Mmm me! Ds has been asleep almost 2.5 hours might have to wake him up. I've managed to wrap all of their stocking presents

Sooooo I'm obviously somewhat behind in present buying

I might have to find someone to make me some

Oops. I over edited my post I need some Christmas stockings making for the DC's with their names on. We had some when we were kids. My Mum made them and they were great in their simple homemade-ness .

Loving your work utopian! Got yourself a cracker there. Give him a big sniff for me. Xx

Haha WL that comment made me laugh

Nutella go over to the christmas bargain thread and have a nose theres loads of ideas and you don't even need to leave your house for most of them.

I went back to the chippy tonight after 2 weeks off it was nice being back but H wanted to come with me i felt horrible saying no. Luckily Dp distracted her so i could leave.

Hehe wl - he is soo small compared to O!
Nutella, I'm well behind on presents too, and no prospect of quiet shopping/making time now!

I have managed to get a couple of hours' sleep! A decided to cluster feed from 11.30pm but I have propped us both so he can and no risk in bed. Miraculously we've been left to it by the frankly scary night midwife!
