Over here ladies-

I did it again - hope you don't mind.

I'd love to come to the next meet up. Even though I'll be the youngest one there

Plan not v exciting - trying to cut out a night feed at a time.

Meet-up: what about a park with a cafe in case it rains?

sounds excellent em! Wish i was brave enough 2 do it! I am gonna start giving him more of what we eat now though.

can i just ask u all what you give your los for breakfast? have been giving him just porridge & fruit puree, if i give him weetabix or something like that can i use cows milk or do i have 2 use formula still?

id like to come to the next meet up aswell, i'm about the same age as u emily so i wouldn't worry!

Hi all,

Haven't been about much...DS been V under the weather.
How is everybody??

BendyB- You can use cows milk if you want but it has fewer 'good things' in it that our LOs need while under 1yr.

Chilledmama- Hope your DS is on the mend.

I was just reading through the thread and there are a lot of people that haven't posted for a while- hope they are all ok.

Swizzler- Samantha still that 11oz ahead in weight, its weird how they are growing at the same rate! 21lb 11oz.
I am getting really upset by people just going on about how 'massive' she is. It is really getting to me.
I have got the Santogen Pronatal vitamins

A park with cafe sounds good for meet up- as long as I can get there safely after my past train experiences!

Lost 4lb this week, I wonder if I could lose 7lb before 3rd June when I go to Cyprus.

Hi All,

Bendy - fab news how exciting for you. Are you gonna do the full white thing?

Samsmam - well done on your weight loss. Ive lost 17lbs now - still 2 stone to go. BIL gets married June 30th - need to lose another stone before then - treat myself to a new frock. Am starting pole dancing classes on Monday should help shift the weight, not looking forward to the flab wobble though. Had to go and buy a pair of shorts for it. I used to belly dance for years and I love dancing.

Martha - met the foreign couple at court - shook their hands and tried to convey that we didnt blame them as they didnt do it on purpose. They wrote a nice letter too so I got my friend to tanslate one back to them telling them to just get on with their lives as they felt really guilty poor things.

We are off to view 4 houses tomorrow- finally got DH lost wages and settlement from the accident. (after many years of waiting)

Been very busy with Uni, Lo and life in general. bro and SIL and baby neice coming tomorrow for 2 nights. having a girls night out Sat and men folk are babysitting

A uses a beaker sometimes for water, apple juice etc. I put a teat in it though, once she is comfy holding it I will change for spout. havent even given her meat yet. Still on veg and fruit purees.

She cut her first tooth today! After weeks of top incisors bothering her a bottom tooth came through!

Sorry for long post. Fingers crossed for you Emily.x (What happened to postponing cos of sleeping with Dh?)

BendyB, I've rolled back a little...

CONGRATLATIONS

Night night all...got to go and feed Guy before he wakes up and screams at me!

thanks chilledmama, think i'll just use his formula milk for now then.
hope your ds is ok now?

I was really worried bout her wed got her home went to give her a bath and she had a rash and was really hot but she seemed ok took her to the docs yesterday and it just a heat rash cuz of her temp and she got swollen glands so she is on so meds and was very mummy mummy yesterday bless her!!!

hey youngmum, u havent been around much! guess your busy with work,how is it goin?
dp didn't do it in a really romantic way, i knew he never would! We had been talking bout it for a few days aswell so wasn't really a surprise either!
hope jasmine's ok x

yeah i have been finding it really hard working and being a mum especially as she not sleeping well but we getting there it just great when i go pick her up and she gets a huge smile and reaches out for me makes it all worth it!!!

Sound like kai doing well? Jasmine sounds like she says dad too not sure if it is as i thought it was to early for them to talk it also sounds like she say mummy to sometimes

Morning all. Dh and I were talking about your lo last night samsam and he said shes lovely and hed like to blow raspberries on her cheeks , does it to lo all the time to make him giggle. Dont forget once shes on the move too shell lose some of her cuddliness .
Lo was awake at 4.30 this morning chatting away in his cot.Left him for a while to see if he would settle back to sleep but he started moaning a bit so he had a bottle and soon dropped off. Hes also had a rash and a bit of a temp like jasmine. Did the doc say what it was youngmum21?
Were going to buy Edward a cup today. Should be funny. Bet hell drown himself at first. Ds3 did for a while now he drinks form 'big people'cups

gingeme- he sed that babys cant sweat as their sweat glands dont develop until they about one so the get a rash when they get too hot instead he has given her amoxcillin sp you mite want to get it checked out just to make sure her temp has gone after lots of calpol but the rash is still there so am keeping an eyeon her!!!

hopefully sometime in july,
yeah kai doin really well, can sit up, rolls about everywhere, he's just about crawling too.
cant believe how quick its all going! he was 6 months yesterday!
he is def saying dad, its so clear! i thought it was too early aswell, but yesterday my mum was showing me videos of when i was little, i could say dad & mum at 6 months, by one i was saying whole sentences!!!

nxt july btw!

isnt he ova six months? jasmine 6months on sunday!!! 6 months is 26weeks isnt it?

sorry my fault jasmine 25weeks this week lol jumping a head a week

lol yeah 6 months yesterday, born 3rd nov!
better go do some housework
speak 2 everyone later x

Hi, Guy has got CROUP! Its ridiculous, I didn't think it still existed!!!!
He's had it for about 7 weeks now so its really annoying him and me; he has good days and definately not so good days.
Ended up in hospital with respiratory distress and Petichial rash (men rash!!). They kept him in but couldn't really do much for himm as its viral but wasn't Meningitis so that was good [phew emoticon].

He's had the rash 3 moer times since the initial one and a couple more visits to the hospial but hey keeps me busy!

Moan moan, better go and wake him up from his snooze.

Speak later

Gingeme- It is just so frustrating! I don't over feed her, she eats all my own home food. As you say when she starts to crawl and roll around she'll be ok.

Samantha is really upset this morning- thought she woke up too smiley! She slept from 7pm to 8.10am. Lovely to get up and have my breakfast and a shower. Should've stayed in bed really!

Rumpel- your weight loss is going good. I have lost 25lb now and got 18lb to go.

youngmum- hope LO gets better soon.

chilledmama- cross posts- must be frightening to have to deal with illness like that. Hope everything gets better soon.

lol samsam she is just georgeous though. Dh talks about her all the time. I think he was quite taken with her. Well done on the weight loss by the way. Your doing realy well.
I hope Guy is back to full health real soon. My Mum said I had croup as a baby and it came to a point where ahe nearly threw me out the window but luckily it never came to that.
Bought lo a cup which is similur to the one ds3 had. An any way up cup, hasten to add dh's choice. Der he just thinks its a teething toy as he hasnt a clue how to suck it derdont like to say 'I told you so' but.....
Im going to Mothercare later to get one of those cup attachments to put on Avent bottles. If there too expensive Ill get him a Tommee Tipee cup like ds3 had.

Let me give you all a laugh!

3 nights ago Guy was on change mat in bathroom...funny old thing at bath time. He was having a bit of 'freedom' and a bit of sitting up practice (not quite so good without bulk of nappy to stabilise). He decided that rather than sitting up he would much prefer to eat his feet so started leaning forward towards them except he found something else on his way which apparently was just as good for a chew!!!!Have you worked out what is was yet (in a Rolf Harris styly)????

Yup, he's currently one of those 1 in 3 lucky boys!!
Hopefully he'll grow out of it!
Haven't told DH yet...I'm sure he'll be jealous!
