Hi everyone!

Booby you norty girl pulling a sickie Hope you enjoyed your day lol!

Olivo hope the conjunctivitis clears up. That sucks.

Luna, lovely to hear K is crawling.

Pinky, hows your foot today?

Snow, have you got your keyboard?

Anyone else I might have missed?

Well update here. Dad came home thursday from leeds. Very tired and sore but glad to be back.
Ellis is now crawling too in his own little style. He looks like a rabbit if I'm honest but it keeps him happy
I was rather shocked last night how quick he can go. We put him dd's room at the far side while dh was bathing dd and I was messing in his room. The next thing I knew ellis was starring me in the face!
Dh then proceeded to tell me that the day before he managed to get from our front room to the family room and conquer a step at that too!
Me thinks its time for the stair gates!!!
His sleeping has got a bit better too over that last few night. He's been going down between 7/8pm and waking around 4am, stirring at 5/6am but we leave him and then he goes off again till 7/8am. So a hell of alot better there. Also he's eating a bit more. Doesnt sound as adventurous as the other LO's but he's getting there. He's letting me feed him porridge in a morning now and last night he let me give him baked beans lol.

Hope all are well.

Hi everyone and happy birthday snow hope you are having a good one. Hows the pregnancy going Nbg? A december baba ooohh how sweet. Sorry to hear about your dad being poorly though and your MIL hoppy hope she is holding up my thoughts are with you all. Right lets get our arses in gear and get this meet up organised. Im going to book it in the next few days and then put a list up of those who want to join in. SJ is trying to crawl but only managing a belly flop little love. I can feel a tooth under the bottom gum too but apart from a nasty teething rash it hasnt broken through the gum yet. The packing is going slowly as dds birthday on wednesday age 4 and birthday party yesterday so house looks like santas grotto at the moment. Finally persuades my dd to join mn and thanks to those of you who have chatted to her on her thread. She is coping really well and is positively blooming She now has a neat little bump and I cant believe my grandchild is in there hehehe I get another baby in the house without the pain lol. Melsy I feel for you hope the pox have all gone now. Hope everyone else is well I will post again on Monday with news of our meet up

Nbg · 29/04/2007 17:46

I told her to come on here and I promise we wont eat her lol.
Am ok thanks. Just a bit sicky when I dont eat so I'm sure I'll be the size of a house by xmas.

Olivo, ha ha at your dh

Happy Birthday Snow!!!!!

Glad to hear your foots better Pinky.

Nbg · 29/04/2007 18:19

Oh and just so you know
Melsy went to New York on Thursday for 4 days.
Her DD1s chicken pox had started to heal up nicely but on Tuesday DD2 got it! So she was a bit upset by that.
I think she said she was teething too
But hopefully when she gets back she'll be over the worst.

olivo · 29/04/2007 20:25

good evening! hope you've all enjoyed the lovely weather this weekend.
dreamy, good to hear from you, glad to hear your dd is doing well and all is fine with her pg.
poor melsy, both of them with the pox - nightmare!i've had a lovely weekend with dd, out and about lots, took her to the zoo yesterday and she was fascinated by the monkeys!!

have decided to apply for another job, part time. not sure we would manage financially but jobs dont come up often here so will have to bite the bullet!! all good experience if nothing comes of it which i doubt it will, but i'd be forever wondering if i dont give it a go! (can you tell i'm convincing myself ?)

Snowboo · 30/04/2007 09:19

Can you all stop changing your names????! So very confoosed lol!

Pinky, glad your foot feels better hun.

Had a lovely 'surprise' party, will fill you all in later, ds1 is waiting to play ToonTown!

Enjoy the day everyone xxxxxxxxx

i had a reading from a medium ion staurday

cj is now mimicing and clapping in response she in investigating everything to the point of pulling herself out of her car thingy by pulling on the fire guard and bailing out also is pulling herself up on anything she can and generally being a pain lol

last night she woke up at 4 30 and refused to go back to sleep til 7 and then we went back to bed

been to a mum and tot group today with the girls i normally meet and they are so into there baby's i feel really weird now round them as i feel work is taking over so much my ww diet had gone out the window im tired really tired my social life is nil; and me and chris ar arguing coz the house looks like a bomb has gone off

sorry to ramble feel a bit down

hope evryone is ok

PinkTulips · 30/04/2007 21:37

foot totally fecked again and dp is pissy at me and giving me no sympathy as apparently it's my own fault for doing the cleaning yes coz the magic pixies will be along any day now to do it for me, how silly of me to bother!

booby, sorry your feeling down. work really sounds like it's taking it out of you lol at you reading though, what did chris say about the five kids?

good luck with applying for that job olivo, i'm sure it would be doable if your really loved it

grannycrackers · 01/05/2007 09:17

pink, you need to rest!! and booby, sounds like you've got so much on. olivo, good luck with the job appl.
i've finally found the camera and taken an up to date pic of ds2 which is on my profile now.
he still has no teeth, but is crawling around all over. i have baby proofed the living room and have one stairgate up so far. he's sleeping really badly since our hospital visit - up 3 to 5 times each night and feeding a lot. he's lost interest in bf during the day cos he's so busy moving so i'm trying to stop him snacking in the day and only letting him come to bf 3 or 4 times in the day in the hope that he will be v hungry and feed well. that was a long sentence
hope everyone else is getting plenty of sleep
oh, btw, here is a link to my questionnaire. i'mm looking for some more responses as part of my assignment. questionnaire

Nbg · 01/05/2007 10:48

Done it GC

dressedupnowheretogo · 01/05/2007 11:07

done it too

what a shite day woke up with a real migraine wasa on my way to fat fighters and realise dsomeone had tried to break in to our car thas the thrid time someone has broken in or attempted to our house van car me and dh are really pissed off about it

we might even move its ridiculous and ive got to stop in all day now coz police may or may not come round

Nbg · 01/05/2007 13:40

Oh god booby, how crap.
Makes you really angry doesnt it.
Has anything been taken?

Dh left his car window open all night the other day and it was fine!
Bearing in mind it is parked on the pub car park!

I have a bit of a dilema. Ellis not only has discovered how to crawl but he has now mastered steps
Its a real PITA as our whole downstairs is open plan apart from the front room and hallway which is sealed off.
So he can get to the dining room, kitchen, family room and stairs.
So far he's tipped the dogs water bowl all over him, then the dog biscuits and proceeded to eat them, then started chewing on the mop and make a run for it outside
We cant put a gate up on the bottom of the stairs because its like a triangle shape and its also the way into the kitchen.
Its a nightmare! Dont know what to do lol.

PinkTulips · 01/05/2007 15:24

we were just at the beach and had a lovely time, although caleb did try to eat his own body weight in seaweed and sarah appears to be afraid of crabs

will do the queationnaire for you now gc. ds is lovely, really grown up looking. he looks really fit and healthy in that pic for so soon after his op.

OP posts:
Snowboo · 01/05/2007 15:50

done it gc. And your ds is gorgeous! looks like a proper little boy.

Nbg, welcome to the world i refer to as 'hell' I must find Austin up the stairs maybe a million times a day, he opens the kitchen cupboards and then proceeds to empty them (can't find any catches to put on them as ds1 just unlocks them on Austins behalf!), mops, dirty washing, contents of bin etc etc. My list could go on but i don't want to bore you all

I've just had him weighed and because he's been so ill he now weighs the same as he did 7 weeks ago. Poor baby. So tonight he is having home made meatballs in homemade tomato sauce, followed by yogurt. Oh and it looks like he's allergic to cheese. Good good. Bang goes my cheese sauce with everything theory then.

My birthday was just fantastic. Didn't get to half the places i wanted to as my hairdresser took far too long making me blonde. But it looks nice so i won't complain. Dh arranged a brilliant party with friends i've not seen for years so that i guess was the surprise. I got a beautiful locket from mil (forgiven her for her sins lol) boys bought me Sanctuary creams etc, dh has paid for me to go to The Sanctuary on Sunday, friend has a surprise treatment at that place, mum got me some La Prairie face cream (well, line filler to be precise) and gallons of Pink Champagne! So a lovely day it was. And i'm very excited about being 30. Found my early twenties to be a bit shit tbh. Wrong boyfriend followed by wrong boyf. So hopefully this new decade is spent with mylovely dh

Oh, last thing, my friend was coming on to my dh at the party, his face was a picture! She scares him at the best of times but when shes had a drink its priceless!!!!

Oops, sorry about the essay

Snowboo · 01/05/2007 15:51

Oh and pinky i'm so of you at the beach!!! (Not of the nappy later thou )

dressedupnowheretogo · 01/05/2007 16:04

PinkTulips · 01/05/2007 16:07

i hope he grows some as it's still all patchy where he rubbed it off!

nightmare about the car snow
at the beach Pink. i sat and stared out of my classroom window most of the day, knowing the sea wasnt far away
granny - have done your questionnaire.
dont think i can apply for the job i was going to go for - its only half time but ours spread out over the week so no good for anyone with a baby at nursery - i'd only just earn enough to pay for that
crappy day, got to go and mark some books and eat some chocolate
