MGP - I'm liking your new name - v cool! And the sound of your new haircut (from the last thread!). I chickened out of a fringe at the hairdressers last week but had mine thinnned loads. Ellen was good too, she came with me for the first time bless her. As for your GP getting sick of you, I rang the manager of my surgery to complain last week. I felt naughty but was so annoyed..yet to see if it worked. My area only does a fast track physio referral if its cancer or neurological but once I complained there was suddenly a postnatal physio I could be referred to. Not easy being a mum when you can't pick up or put down your little one is it??? Rev Vino Will never forget the words for J's christening!!! He usually does all his services from memory, doesn't use books at all.
Rgee - hope your hols were nice. Pippa with 2 teeth!! Wow!!
It rained everyday in the peak district and I could barely walk for 2/3 days as my sore back suddenly got WORSE. Had to ring NHS Direct and go to local drs for painkillers so no boozing for vino unfortunately. Its looking like the hen weekend I'l be on next weekend will be a sober one too. I had no idea how much one uses one's back IYKWIM . So no long walks for family Hobson, however Ellen did get carried in her new bushbaby rucksack which is FAB! DH did the honours, had to really with my poor back and the fact that he broke her new travel cot when he put it up the first night!! Poor thing had to sleep on a makeshift bed of 2 pillows covered in a sheet for 2 nigths then we managed to borrow a cot. DH was also super looking after me. Much better now but can't sit or stand for very long.
E&H - I've got 4 cups so far and Ellen not keen on any of them. She has started holding the small bottle I put her water in herself so maybe thats a start
Loopy - Helllllooooo !!!! Where in Yorkshire are you?
Shimmer - I give Ellen her bottle after her brek puree. Not given her any finger foods yet, you may just have inspired me!
UD I did a pg test this week too! It was negative as weel. We want a second LO, plan to start trying in Jan but it wouldn;t be the end of the world if it happened sooner.
My cellar is not underwater anymore. It started drying and then flooded again. The industrial dryer things are very loud. Its like a hoover being on constantly which does annoy you after a while.
Going to get Ellen weighed this week. She seems to be getting longer cos everythings short on her, trousers cut into her tubby tummy and her arms burst out of sleeves. I worry I'm feeding her too much but she's such a happy little girlie I don't want to change anything. Tonight is her first night in her own room and she went off to sleep without any probs. Fingers crossed....
OMG I have been catching up for over an hour!! I hope you are all as pleased to see me back as you were Rgee....
