do you know something you should be telling us Snow? who is it? go on......!

i know what you mean, i'm in an altogether better frame of mind now the sun is out. feeling quite positive and happy today.

where did you disappear to last night btw? msn had you logging in and out like a yoyo and whenever i typed a message it said it couldn't be delivered but i got the dumdedum one from you!

PinkTulips · 10/01/2007 13:14

WOOOHOOOOO! (but you are really booby )

dressedupnowheretogo · 10/01/2007 13:15

pink y r u not on msn?

olivo · 10/01/2007 13:24

Yay booby - that's cool!

aw, come on snow, you HAVE to tell us.....

Snowboo · 10/01/2007 13:28

Well i think it will be the least expected. And will be a surprise for who i reckon also!!!! But i won't say yet. Cos then it won't be a surprise!! LOL

PT, someone was online who i didn't want to talk to so had to leave it offline hence the messing about. Not sure what it was doing tbh! Did you get the other link? It was funneeeeeee

Snowboo · 10/01/2007 13:46

Hmmmm. Where'd ya all go??

I'm off now to have lunch and tidy the house.

TTFN! x

ok what have I missed out on? Looks like I'll have to wait and find out later.

I know I won't be annoucing anything for the foreseeable future, have given away Talia's clothes that don't fit her and have been to my GP to go on the pill.

I have to admit that it is a bit selfish of us but Talia is getting to the age where we can leave her and dd1 with my sister for a couple of hours, if DH and i want to go out and I am beginning to go out a bit more and socialise, salsa lessons and hopefully next week the gym.

Pink - I know what you mean about getting glammed up. I bought a couple of things, a pair of jeans, a top and a dress in the sale just after New Year... size 14!!! (haven't been that for 3 years) so am really chuffed. Beats living in my trackies and slippers.

As for Talia, she is doing really well.... getting to be more baby then newborn if you know what I mean. She is still small, last time she was weighed she was 13 lbs and she is almost 6 months old. But she is adorable and dd1 will do anything to make her laugh.

She sleeps through the night which helps and she loves her food, she got upset yesterday and started to cry when I took her bowl away so that I could warm up her breakfast!!

We are pleased about the hole in the heart closing up but we were told that it will take several years so that's probably another reason we don;t want to have another baby so soon as we are still uncertain about the future.

dressedupnowheretogo · 10/01/2007 14:28

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh micku she sounds so sweet is she really 6 months can we have pic please

it was me being thick i asked if pg hormones could make baby sick if she was bf and every one thought i might be pg which i dont think i am as ive had no periods but not that that will convince any 1

so im being nosey can talia do all the nomal stuff as she grows up? runing swimming etc

micku5 · 10/01/2007 14:38

Booby, she will be six months old on the 21st. Can't believe it myself.

The doctors and cardiologist don't think the VSD will have any effect on her as she grows up especially as it is closing up but obviously we will have to monitor things for the first few years and see what happens.

She also has Di George Syndrome (Chromosome 22q11 deletion) which means she could have some learning and behavioural problems but so far we haven't noticed anything and according the to HV checklist of what 5 month babies she seems to be doing it all.

I have a couple of photos of her from christmas but I need to download them first... but these are a few from before.

dressedupnowheretogo · 10/01/2007 14:46

your girls are gorgeous

you are truly blessed

PinkTulips · 10/01/2007 16:17

had to go shopping booby. we went for a drive along the coast too to celebrate both kids now having car seats that will actually be safe in an accident!

micku, she sounds like a real sweetie and it's good news that so far the DiGeorge doesn't seem to be affecting her. hopefully it'll stay that way

Snow.... email me! i want to know who you think.... although i might have an inkling, lol!

sarahlou1uk · 10/01/2007 16:24

My god. I don't come online for a couple of days and it's taken me 1/2 hour to catch up! You girls can yak!

Anyway re car seats. Molly is still in her travel system one but only just. Will have to get Jack's out of the loft probably next week. Bit of pain though, cause it will mean that I will have to get her out of the car seat and put her in a pram for the school run, where at the moment, the car seat fits onto the pram base so if she's asleep I don't disturb her. We bought a Britax First Class for Jack nearly 4 years ago which comes with a padded removable inner for newborn babies. Don't think I'll be needing that as Molly is older than Jack was when I put him in it.

Going to get her weighed tomorrow. Haven't had her weighed for 4 weeks so expecting a huge weight gain seeing as she's now having 'food.'

Lol at all you dreaming of your 2nd child! At the moment, part of me wants another child but the sensible side says NO . DH not keen either!

I've just bought Molly a Graco Giggles Entertainment centre from ebay. Was supposed to be delivered today but the delivery company messed up, so will have to wait in tomorrow instead . Just had her in the bouncer in the doorway and she loves it! Got some cute pics that I'll upload and post when I've more time.

Take care everyone and speak to you all soon (though I'll probably need a spare hour to read up on all the goss!)

olivo · 10/01/2007 16:29

SNOW - tell us, tell us, tell us!!!!!!!

getting impatient........

sarahlou1uk · 10/01/2007 16:36

Well, I can definitely say IT'S NOT ME!!!

olivo · 10/01/2007 16:39

me neither!

glad all is well, sarah!

eenybeeny · 10/01/2007 18:44

WHO IS IT!!!! I WANT IT TO BE ME!!!!!

Ok

god I miss a matter of a day or so on here and everything kicks off. I cant possibly catch up in the 5 mins I have on line before I have to deal with Alex so I will just say hi and that I want to know who is planning more babies! I want one but Sal says no help me persuade him girls!

Tomorrow is my birthday, 28, I dont know what we are doing yet its Sal's secret.

Hope you are all well.

PinkTulips · 10/01/2007 18:55

persuade? nothing to it! say 'fine if you don't want any more kids contraception is your responsibility!' they never remember to buy condoms or put them on, lol!

eenybeeny · 10/01/2007 18:57

hahha yeah I could try that but I am sure he would remember he REALLY Doesnt want another!

I took a test the other day. It was BFN.

olivo · 10/01/2007 19:01

eeny - i thought it might be you !
i'll let you know if i find a way to persuade dh (other than 'oops, must have forgotten to take my pill! ) and you can try it with Sal. hope you have a lovely day tomorrow.

eenybeeny · 10/01/2007 19:40

thanks Olivo! what I want for my birthday is to be caught up on all the gossip I've missed!

BigHotMama · 10/01/2007 19:57

Ha ha its ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(only joking!)

Happy birthday Eeny! Sure Sal will have a lovely day planned, how romantic having a surprise.. (That reminds me, my birthday falls on Easter Sunday this year so we're thinking of having a double, may get jackson christened on same day not sure if they do christenings on easter Sunday though?)

Congrats on the news of Talia Micku5. Pics are great, your dd's are beautiful.

Booby, the nails are going ok, not got a big client base yet as dont want to start then have to stop while I go back to work for 4 weeks, so am gonna pull my finger out in March, but am getting better at doing them and my nail art is coming on great.

Just found out my best friends sister is 10 weeks pregnant...my cousin's baby is due on 18th Jan....everywhere i look its babies babies babies...trying not to get too broody...what is it with us all ha ha!

Snowboo · 10/01/2007 23:05

Eeny you young thing! Its my 30th in April and i'm nervous as i have hinted i want a surprise party but knowing dh as well as i do he won't arrange one....Bah....

lol at you all owning up. its still not me!

oh baby has just woken and filled his nappy....typical when dh is at the pub!

Snowboo · 10/01/2007 23:07

Also, eeny have you heard of 'faulty' condoms? the ones with pin holes in them so they split?

To add, not something i've tried, just told dh i was going to have a baby, he said no and i got preggers!!!! hehehe

olivo · 11/01/2007 09:11

Happy Birthday Eeny!
hope you have a lovely day. xx

dreaminofawhitexmas · 11/01/2007 10:00

hi everyone how are you all doing. Happy birthday eeny hope you get everything you want and have a great day. Lol at all you young ones I had my 40th before xmas and it definitely isnt me thats preggers so who is??
welcome to our madhouse pinchypants and in case they havent told you im the one with 7 yes thats right 7 kids. My eldest is 18 and the youngest is now 17 weeks old. She is just adorable and weighs 15lb 9 so doing really well. We arent very routined as Im sure you can imagine with such a huge family everyone lends a hand though and we have set bedtimes and a chore list Sophie-Jane usually finds someone to give her a cuddle and change her bottom and gets naps when its quiet enough to do so She is doing really well sleeping through the night and is taking both breast and bottle feeds now.

I love the photos of your babies stumpy eeny and micku they are so cute no wonder everyone is getting broody good news about Talia by the way micku

Pink you made me laugh so much about the piggybank theft Caleb is growing lots isnt he I can remember my older ones swinging each other in the door bouncers too I bet dd age 3 will do it to sj too

hows your door bouncer going bhm? LMAO re jackson finding his willy and rolling little love he'll be ok when he's older then

snow wish some of us lived closer you can feel very isolated with young babies

olivo hows your lo getting on in her own room are you back on the matress? lol re lack of sex since birth know the feeling

hope your back is ok melsey hun you must keep aiming to have some chill out wind down me time each day

hi booby hic lol well done on being discharged from the mh team hows cjs teething going any signs of any teeth yet?

bursting I have also read that you have to be provided a room and a refridgerator for storing expressed milk at work
well hope everyone else is well must go change a smelly bottom
