hi girls - sorry, a bit of a mammoth post below and some is a bit out of date, but here goes!
Beadmum ? oh she?s gorgeous, such a sweet face! Bless her with her bag (like your rug and floorboards too ? we?ve just ordered a similarish rug for the front room so Emma has some hope of crawling on it, the floorboards are too slidey for her!)
Bloss ? wonderful pics of Toby and Lily, so fab to have a cousin so close in age. Hope those spots bugger off soon!
Kayzed ? more gorgeous pics of Roshi, she really does have a twinkle about her doesn?t she? Agree on the fringe btw, should suit her and less hassle than tying up?
Wallace ? fab and funny pics too, he?s such a big poser isn?t he
Pretty ? lol at Junior the plank, he?s very clever actually to find exactly the right button to post on MN, perhaps he?ll be an MN fan when he grows up and is a dad!
Jeannie ? good to hear from you, amazing pics of Abbey, she looks so different with her hair tied back (much more grown up) than with it down! She is a total cutie.
Impy ? I didn?t notice either ! Hope you have a lovely family reunion with DP Re the sleeping habits, maybe it is a developmental thing. Emma has been going off to sleep at night like clockwork for months now, until this week when we?ve had to keep going to get her as she?s ending up in a right state trying to get herself off to sleep, all hot and screaming. Even last night she didn?t actually cry, but spent nearly 2 hours whining and chuntering to herself before she finally dropped off. Yes the Nutramigen is because of the cow?s milk allergy, she is having soya formula at the mo but I won?t give her very much because of the controversy about it, so the dietician suggested this. She did try it from a bottle, but refused it (what part of ?I?m screwing up my face in disgust and batting the bottle away? do you not understand Mum ) so I?ll have to try diluting it.
Agalch ? at your renewed libido, you go girl! Deffo think it?s true about libido being related to confidence.
Twinkle ? sympathies on the work thing ? is there any prospect of cutting down hours in the future?
HC ? don?t know I?m afraid re the calpol and nurofen, though I think one of them is probably better for bringing down temperature. Maybe look at NHS direct website? Hope she?s much better soon {{hugs}}
Ceebee ? Emma does some very efficient sieving of food she doesn?t like, she spat out every piece of boiled egg white (which I?d mixed with some mashed veg to try and disguise it)! I?ve been looking at Next too, some nice stuff but got hacked off with ordering online as they force you to buy one of their catalogues on your first order. Trying to find some short sleeved and short legged rompers for her ? ended up cutting the arms and legs off her 6-9 month babygros which seems to do the job
Annie ? hope DS?s nights are better now, sounds very tiring and stressful {{hugs}}
Lysette and Numpty ? respect to you for organisation on the 1st birthday parties! Was a bit as I?ve done sod all to organise anything, we?ll probably just end up at the pub
Sleep ? good luck with the nursery I think they really do benefit from it if it?s a good one and they settle happily.
Kbaby ? doesn?t sound likely that you are from what you?ve said, but worth a quick test maybe to put your mind at rest? Fingers crossed for you.
Will catch up more soon ? love to all xxx
