Oh and at you HV Pesha, remember smile & nod then stick your fingers up when you've left the room

Lesley - also meant to say I would have come with you to the hospital but Erin has her injections on Thurs and I'm at the docs on the 26th.

Pesha · 12/06/2007 13:33

nuttygirl · 12/06/2007 13:33

nuttygirl · 12/06/2007 13:34

Pesha · 12/06/2007 13:54

T just woke up to find me with my head under his blanket sniffing his bum to decide whether he needs a nappy change before we go out. He gave me a very not-amused look and I was PMSL!

EllieK · 12/06/2007 14:08

i'm not surprised Katy

Hi all

Thanks for all supportive messages about hospital on Thursday.It's silly to resent DH's phobia - he can't help it, but I worry if something bad were to happen I'd have to deal with it alone. My mam is now coming down on Wednesday on the train.I'll drive her back after appointment and stay in Newcastle until Sunday. Dh will join us on Friday night. Going to have a girls night on Saturday at a friend's house - leaving ebm with DH and the ILs- will be my first time away from George since he was born.!

CD sorry things aren't any better today.

zazas and pesha - your LOs are gorgeous. Been trying to get pic of G smiling but he stops whenever we point a camera at him.

ellie -thanks for mail. your tour sounds like it will be fun.

nutty- will mail you when I get back from NE about meeting up.

going to try and eat something now, then venture outside.

Have good/better afternoons.

Pesha · 12/06/2007 14:21

CD - if you need more curtains ive also got a load I dont need that are just sat in the cupboard taking up room that you're welcome to have. If you're at all interested let me know and ill have a look and let you know what they look like and measurements and things cos cannot remember off hand. Actually that reminds me if anyones interested in buying some very girly pink Next curtains with kittens on for their dds (or DSs if you want ) then let me know cos I only bought them for dd last summer but now she's moved rooms they're too big and nath wasnt too keen! Actually might try and take a pic later and put them in for sale section.

Sorry didnt mean to turn that into a sales pitch But all the rest are going for free CD or anyone else who needs them

Hello! As Ellie said, Boss is out - so here I am!

Feeling a bit brighter, didn't do coffee with friend this morning, couldn't face it - so lay on the sofa & cried instead - pathetic eh!!? I hate feeling like this. Feel like I am going loopy - guess it is just the "6 Week Hormones" kicking in!!!!? Horrid. Slap me someone .....

Deep Breath ....

THANK YOU for lovely, wise advice zazas - apprecitate - only trouble is, it seems now I have gained some momentum, I can't seem to find the brakes - Does that make any sense!!!!? I don't know how to slow down .... Wish I had more support around me - feel like I am running, full pelt with loads of stuff in my arms, but there's no one around to give the stuff to, so I've just got to keep carrying it. Does that make any sense or have I genuinely gone completely loopy!!?

Argh!!

Baby Zazas is GORGEOUS and Baby Pesha's wee smile is scrummy - Thank you for sharing guys!!

V.quiet in the shop, esp as DH has taken DD3 (other DD's in nursery) and a bottle of EBM back home - 1st solitary peace & quiet in 6 weeks .... nice, but odd.

"Talk" to meeeeeee .....

Katy44 · 12/06/2007 15:31

i'm here!!!!!

Pinions · 12/06/2007 15:32

Hi nutty have been meaning to reply to you for ages....would be great to meet up at some point if you like, am a bit stressed at the mo more to do with 3 yr old to be honest and getting him into nursery every day. Some time during July theres a huge MN yorkshire meet up at Temple Newsham which should be quite goos as long as the weather stays good so if you fancy that?

In case you haven't been its huge, has also got farm, ice cream/outdoor cafe etc etc.

Anyway as if not predicted baby now crying will email you take care x

Katy44 · 12/06/2007 15:34

T just weed on his own face - I was lifting his legs up to dry his back and out it came!
Luckily managed to wipe it off his face and then stuck him in the bath but the mental scars might take longer to heal

EllieK · 12/06/2007 15:37

pmsl Katy
Joe wee'd in his mouth doing just that a few days ago, but i just laughed

Hi CD

LMAO @ T Katy...one of the fun things about having boys eh?

Pinions, I've been to temple newsam...when I was about 40wks pg. Went round the farm and was too scared to feed the sheep . Would have liked to come but have no transport as DH needs it for work.

Katy44 · 12/06/2007 15:49

In his mouth??! he must have a fantastic aim - you won't be mopping round the toilet when he's older

EllieK · 12/06/2007 16:00

i'd lifted his legs up to change his nappy and it just sort of pointed that way

Hello all

CD - sorry to hear you are having a shit time at the moment. You sound like you're taking on too much, and because you've been coping everyone assumes you're happy with doing everything. You must let (i.e. make) dh do more if you can - you cannot be Superwoman all the time (only most of the time). I am really looking forward to seeing you again next week, and if you want to rant and rave then, please feel free. Personally I am already having a teensy glass of red to help me get through the rest of today. Hic.

Also, is your mobile working again? I dropped mine down the loo once, but as someone else has said on here, I took it to pieces, let it totally dry out and it was fine. Let me know if you still need my mobile no.

All good here. Just seem to spend all my time out seeing people (which is obviously fab), doing the school run etc etc. Sophie is good - has put on 2lb since birth (she's 5 weeks now) so is now 10lb 12oz. Little porker!

CaptainDippySuperBoobs · 12/06/2007 18:53

Sorry I didn't get to chat .... a friend's mum came in to talk about reusable nappies ... and that was sort of the rest of the afternoon gone .....

Mobile is now fixed - apart from the camera, which is a shame - Pleased it is working again though!

Hi EM!! Looking forward to seeing you too honey - and meeting little S.

Have a strange feeling P is going to be the littlest bubba the meet-up ..... bless!

She's 6 weeks & weighing in at 9lb 9oz. Anyone beat that!!?

nuttygirl · 12/06/2007 18:57

I can beat it...but won't be at the meet up. Little Erin is 8.5 weeks and at her weighing at 8 weeks she was 8lb 14oz.

Ah...talking about reusables...that can certainly pass lots of hours!

nuttygirl · 12/06/2007 18:59

I've currently got her sitting up on the sofa like a big girl .

OCTO - how do I wash the rikki's?????

AngeG · 12/06/2007 18:59

Hello

Izzy will be a little bigger than that she was 9lbs 91/2 last week...but she is 10wks tomorrow. She is petite just like me
