LOL at octo and dippy pairing up their dc!! There was a little girl in church on sunday who was 2wks old and we reckoned that T and her would make a cute couple!!

nuttygirl · 07/05/2007 21:02

There's an ellaroo mei tai on the offers page that's rather nice....

Ooh and an ellaroo ring sling aswell

Then there's some wrap ones I like but can't choose one!

Hi ellie if you are around. No-one thinks that your emails are a waste of time and yes the email you received was very off and could have been worded differntly.

You have done a FAB job in keeping us all informed and spending so much of your own time on sending uppates to everyone. Don't be put off by one person (and anyway who the hell was hellcat?). So don't worry, and we want to see you back online soon, or we'll be coming to find you x

The thought of ever having sex again, let alone any more babies horrifies me!!!

K is being a nightmare. She had a 4oz bottle at 5.30, and then woke up again at 8.00 p.m. starving and has just had a 5oz bottle. She will not settle at all. I find it really stressful but dh just keeps saying this is the way it is - deal with it!

Surely she can't be hungry again.

I know I have said it before, but I do not like this newborn stage one bit - always second guessing.

Anyway, must head.

eca · 07/05/2007 21:45

octo and luce - thanks for saying you'd be too. At least I know it's not just me being unreasonable. Thankfully she's not someone I see very often. Although dn is back from Iraq in 3wks and they will be coming down again so he can meet T. At least next time I knwo what she's like!!

And Luce - cranberry juice should help you clear a UTI and relieve you symptoms. [ouch] @ weeing razorblades!

SOKL - GRRRRR [angry} at DH! Keep going honey, you're doing a great job. Sounds like K is on a bit of a feeding frenzy, T keeps having them too, just doesn't ever seem full (I'm sure he must have a leak somewhere !!!) Just keep filling them bottles... Oh, and the thought of sex, more babies, in fact even a flipping tampon makes me wince at the mo!!

Eddas · 07/05/2007 21:50

OCto am definately using the she wanted to go to the pub one Actually I could get dd saying but mummy i wanted to go to the pub. I have got her saying that daddy talks to chess geeks on the computer!!!

SOKL, oh honey I feel for you, i'm not too keen on the newborn stage because it is really hard to know what they want. You could try her on aptamil extra(for hungry babies) that might help Hopefully someone with more help will post soon.

CD, one more with 3 under 4 mad woman Will she be along soon?(assume it'll be another girl, LOL!) Try mine and my friends instructions for a boy, do it once and once only just before you are ovulating!!! Seriously i'm sure it works,LOL we both had boys after having a girl!!! Oh it was my boss that tolds us!! He wanted a girl the 2nd time, apparantly you do it loads so we know what you've been up to CD

ELLIE, is pinions right, have you gone because of the email from Hellcat Please come back you are the PA and we need you. I'm sure she didn't mean anything and was having a bad day or something. You do a great job keeping us all up to date. I'm sure you're lurking, pretty pleeeeeasssssssssse

Luce, the look is very good you knowAppartantly i have a very good one so no messing!!!

Eca, would have been hacked off too. My step mother came round with my dad when ds was 3 days old and was trying to stop him crying by shoving her dirty b**ard finger in his mouth. He was not with her very long before i rescued him from her non motherly arms. Bloody woman!!!

Nutty, we are all the same with dc one. I was totally worried about having 2 but I can say so far> taht it's not too bad. Sure it'll all change when ds is on the move

Can anyone tell i'm a little tipsy tonight, not pissed but enjoying vodka and coke number 3!!!

CaptainDippy · 07/05/2007 21:51

SOKL - Quick, swaddle her - and while you are at it - swaddle your DH too - and put him in the shed!!!

uh oh, charlton have been relegated, dh not gonna be a happy man

CaptainDippy · 07/05/2007 21:53

LOL @ you Eddas, you drunkard!!

Yes, I am thinking about a another 2 yrs or less age gap between DD3 and the next one .... but, like SOKL, the mere thought of sex makes me want to swaddle my DH and put him in the shed right now .....

eca · 07/05/2007 21:55

Eddas · 07/05/2007 21:55

Ah but for a boy you only need do it once

Eddas · 07/05/2007 21:56

Whereabouts do the Yorkshire people on here live, roughly, if they don't mind me asking? I'm from Leeds originally, now an economic migrant (!) in London, but with a plan to move back to Leeds before baby starts school. I spotted the reference to "the Headrow" and was saying, Leeds! My mum now lives in Ilkley since and I intend to spend several long visits there while I'm on my maternity leave. Even in this less than des res area of north London a two bedroom house can sell for enough to buy somewhere rather bigger in some cheaper areas of Leeds.

elkiedee · 07/05/2007 22:04

mammyjo, I'm sorry you're having such a hard time, your "dh" sounds more than a little unreasonable.
