Good afternoon. lo is now officialy cruising in fact I am watching him go very slowly along the edge of the sofa as I type. He stops occasionaly to see what it tastes like
Not sure about movements Rumpel but when I first wake up and lay on my back I feel something down there whether its my uterus re centralising but I am 13 weeks now and started to feel lo about now too.
Good luck with your interview youngmum. What is it for?
samsam do you eat anything between tea and bedtime? I find a bowl of cereal lasts till breakfast as it staves off the hunger for a while. Im pleased to say Im just passed the realy exhausted stage now.
My cousin rang this morning to tell me shes 8 weeks pregnant with her second child. She is soooooo poorly from ms poor woman

samsmam · 10/07/2007 12:36

I've come on here for a rant, I have been asking the doctor about LO's left eye for months and he kept saying it was fine. blah, blah, blah. Neurotic mother I thought!

Now because the HV noticed there was something wrong she sent me in to the doctor and now LO has been referred to paediatric eye consultant. Arghhhhhhhh.

samsmam · 10/07/2007 12:37

I don't eat anything after tea at 5pm- I sit with a cup of tea at about 8pm and think of food and just can't face it. Maybe I'll try some shreddies, it works in the mornings! Even LO had a bowl of her own this morning.

EffiePerine · 10/07/2007 12:39

Sorry to hear that Samsmam: at least you have a referral now. What do they think the problem is?

samsmam · 10/07/2007 12:40

He said maybe a squint- these people don't listen to the mother knows best thing!!

gingeme · 10/07/2007 12:51

Hope it gets sorted samsam. Keep us posted.
On the eating front I also found cornish wafers with a bit of marge on them and a cold glass of water did the trick. I love them anyway yummy......

gingeme · 10/07/2007 12:56

Just a quick question does anyones lo rock of music is played? Edward 'dances' to everything even some adverts on the tele

EffiePerine · 10/07/2007 13:40

Samsmam: sure they'll sort it. I think squints are hard to diagnose in the early months as most babies squint to start with

Gingeme: DS bounces to the music he likes. Dh plays him lots of early ragtime which he loves (my attempts to get him into Tom Waits have been a bit of a failure )

wuzzlefraggle · 10/07/2007 23:11

Gingeme - Lo loves Aerosmith lol...thats my girl!! takes after her mummy

hi all, hope every1 is ok.

samsam - grrr @ ur doc for you...still, at least now something will be done x

Anna is really fast crawling now! she zooms about lol. she is doing the cruising to (didnt realise it was called that)

wuzzlefraggle · 10/07/2007 23:11

oops, i meant samsmam

gingeme · 11/07/2007 11:02

lol wuzzle niether did my dh and he thought lo was off on holiday.
lo's getting good at it now he went from our sofa to the coffee table this morning. Only a tiny gap between the two but even so. I reckon hes going to be walking before hes 1. Then well be in trouble Wow talking about 1st birthdays. Where has the time gone?

EffiePerine · 11/07/2007 17:44

Don't talk about birthdays yet Gingeme

DS can stand up pretty well now hanging on to the sofa (or the side of the cot - new trick). He;s not v happy at the moment (nor am I) as we have a nasty cold. Went to the GO as he was getting a bit wheezy and have some baby nurofen so we'll see what drugs can do . He's started objecting to Medised (tried it as he was v snotty) but the nurofen is orange flavoured which he seems to prefer .

Helloo all, back from jolly hols.

Congrats to all the pg ladies, you brave mad people!

Weather was very british in france, did not even go on beach or swimming pool went to lots of things like aquariums/safari parks, etc, eventually ran out of cold weather things to do, and sacked it and went to Disney! Cost an arm and a leg but dd loved it, lo even went on some rides and was gobsmacked by it all.

Lo decided on holiday that he'd like to be fed at 3am every morning - grr. He has finally learned how to eat and has defo put on weight as trousers no longer fall off. Hopefully will get off 2nd centile now. Also he has come home with two bottom teeth . No crawling here, and he can roll but can't be bothered. Just likes being upright all the time

Youngmum - hope it all works out on job front.
Samsmam - Grrr at your gp, sure it will get sorted now tho
Ginge - can't wait to find out what you are having!!

gingeme · 12/07/2007 20:11

Hellooooooo.... Hellooooooooo.... anyone there.......anyone there.........? Wow its echoey in here

wuzzlefraggle · 12/07/2007 22:14

LOL gingeme!

samsmam · 13/07/2007 07:52

I'm here! Been feeling a bit ill for last 24hrs!
Been up since 3am- LO decided to wake up- not been there since she was 3 months old! Then 4am she decides that she wasn't going back to sleep (after much rocking!) so I gave her some milk- finally asleep at 4.30am then the shop underneath us gets burgled. Arghhhhhhh, I called the police then they turn up make a noise chatting amongst themselves.

Lets hope LO has lots of naps today!

Have a good day all, I still have to get a top for wedding tomorrow!

gingeme · 13/07/2007 09:13

Oh samsam hope your Friday improves. Our night, well early morning was like that yesterday. Ds3 coughing because of his tonsils again woke lo up at 4am. ds3 was easy to put back to sleep but lo decided it was time to get up. As you say after much rocking and shushing gave him a bottle about 4.30 where he decided to sod about with and finaly went back to sleep about 5.15 am
Try to enjoy your shopping trip today.
Im off to the dentist at 10. Only a check up this time.
Hope you all have a good weekend. And wedding samsam

EffiePerine · 13/07/2007 09:31

samsmam · 13/07/2007 12:16

gingeme · 13/07/2007 21:15

Enjoy the wedding samsam. Just a quick note to say if Im not about as much its because my big boys will be here from Sunday for 4 weeks.
Have a good weekend all xxx

Rumpel · 14/07/2007 10:33

Hi All,

Hope you are all well and LOs are behaving themselves.

Samsmam - hope you enjoyed the wedding and Gingeme - enjoy your big boys.

Youngmum - any joy with the job?

Probably will not be around much myself for next few weeks as we move on Monday and no phone/internet as yet. In mad panic as still lots to do and the weather is abysmal - was hoping to get some garden tidying done.

Must go - A is away to in-laws for the day so we can crack on with the work!

gingeme · 14/07/2007 22:42

Rumple all the very best with your move. Hope it all goes swimingly. Rather you than me. I have to do a bit of moving around tommorrow. Have to fit 4 beds into a room made for 2 beds. Might be a bit of a squeeze but atleast it will be cosy
Night all xxx

babyducky · 16/07/2007 15:02

hi all, very quiet on here.

hope everyone good.

Hope your having a nice time with your boys gingeme.

Rumpel-hope the move goes well.

Nothing interseting going on here, bored bored bored!!!

gingeme · 16/07/2007 15:36

Thankyou babyducky. Ive just about got on the pc for 5 seconds thats the boys arent on it.
lo has 2 moreteeth popped through either side of his top two. That explains why hes been a bit off colour lately.
Had a brill weekend. Won a 14" dvd tv combi yesterday at our community fete. Dont know where we are going to put it though.Well hope you are all well.
samsam how did the wedding go? How are you feeling? I was terribly sick last night. Finaly fell asleep about 3am feel drained today.
Ho hum.......

samsmam · 16/07/2007 17:47

Been feeling rough today- maybe it was the magnum ice cream? I really have gone off chocolate. It may be because I slept for an hour this afternoon- sometimes I regret sleeping for waking up feeling rough. I am generally really tired. Wish I could get a whole nights sleep!

Wedding was good, I decided Saturday morning my outfit didn't look good so I made a big dash to town and bought another outfit! Then I ended up wearing the new skirt but a top I alreay had. Hope the picture postings work. You can see my outfit in the distance of a picture- its a black and red skirt and red top.
