June '07- We are all bump free!!! HOORAY!!

[loonylovegood]

Daisy visiting Scotland in Aug so hoping to manage meet up with Scottish contingent then. Few others looking to cath up in London for day out. Where are you Jamantha?

I'm near Oxford, so london might be possible

We were talking about going to Horniman's Museum in Dulwich in a couple of weeks. Be great if you could make it!

Jamantha - have had lots of days that sound like that. Shoot me down - I've given up and wear her in a sling when she's so demanding. Yesterday was a first as I actually went for a wee wearing my Baby Bjorn. I confessed to my antenatal friends today and 2 said they'd done the same.....

Haven't got the hang of the sling yet - got a ring sling rather than a structured one and haven't got used to adjusting it yet. Must practice more though. DH came home early to give me a break though, bkless him. Had a cuppa and sorted some laundry and feeling a touch better.

I just read about your sling jamantha and remembered that mine came yesterday, so I tried it out (it's fab btw) with William and he fell straight to sleep! Well Alice just came up to me and asked if she could have a go, so I took William out and put Alice in it in the toddler hold! She loves it too, she has been in it for about half an hour, I'm never going to be able to take it off! I've really started on a slippery slope!

I've also got a huggababy sling (too much shopping - I know) but my lo hates that. Jamantha - you could see if you borrow a structured sling from someone and give it a go - that, the dummy and co-sleeping are getting me through. Wish I could be more disciplined and do no sling, no dummy and moses basket but when she cries I just want to sooth her ......oh alright , I want an easy life......

Hello...just been out to a kiddies birthday party, and feel mentally exhausted now. I only knew two sets of parents so just sat in the corner not speaking much. I find, with the PND that talking to RL people is very difficult. I'm sure they thought I was a bit odd, sitting there with Emily, not speaking. She slept through it all as well so its not as though I could pretend I was busy with her. I hate this person I am now, as I've always been chatty and friendly and now I just feel like a real loner

So, lovely ladies...make me laugh and cheer me up!

For the "scottish" meet-up, how does Friday 10th grab you both (and anyone else who fancies a trip to Glasgow). For location, what about the Burrel Collection? or Kelvingrove Art Gallery? Its years since I've been in Glasgow, so there may be somewhere much more approriate and fantastic that I don't know about.

Awwww daisy, you are not alone. I've felt like this since dd was born...probably need to sort it out really. I was always a complete social butterfly, drinking and dancing and was out most nights, but now I've drifted away from most of my friends and haven't spoken to anyone except my parents and my dp (oh and health professionals) for about 2 weeks! Ho hum! I really need to get a life! Thank god for MN!

Hmmmm...trying to think of funny things to make daisy laugh...AAAARRRGGHHH too much pressure!

I have to go and hide my ribena now, the boys are coming down and they are not drinking it! It's mine, all mine!

I think it may be a nesty thing I am very sociable but to be honest chatting in the school playground am and pm has been enough for me. I am quite happy to be at home with lo or out on my own with him and ds. I feel like my energy has to be focused on him and ds and I don't have a lot left over.

You are definitely not alone Daisy. All I want to do at the moment is hide in the house. I haven't even told many people that Charlie has arrived - I think I am just wanting to hibernate at the moment - everything else just seems a little too hard.

I'm with you on the hibernating annobal! If it wasn't for my dd I'd never go out!

Well - loony - don't know if I can call you Holly as I don't know you like the others do -but my lo is just getting over her jaundice and she is 7 weeks. She went in to have some bloodtests and as I suspected, just bf jaundice. I asked how long it would take to clear and they said it didn't matter cos she was fine.
Daisy - Can't believe you've got PND - you seem so funny and happy.Not that I know anything about it but it will pass.x

Here's a joke that even 2 year olds will like!

What kind of bees produce the most milk......?

Boobies!

Not sure what I'm going to do next week though as school holidays! Don't think DH will be back at work as rash seems to be getting worse...

Everyone in my household is asleep - I have now turned to drink...

Of course you can call me holly, it is my name after all!! I love that joke, it's so sweet! The dr wasn't concerned about the jaundice, I supposed it's just me being paranoid! Glad your dd's is clearing up!

Is anyone else getting HP tonight, or is it just me being a saddo freak?

mine is comng from amazon and I will be reading it straight away... that's the weekend sorted then ha

Holly, what's HP?

I just clicked - it takes a while

HARRY POTTER!!! DP has promised me he is going to go to asda at midnight!

...It's good to know I'm not alone then.

dm1, I've suffered from depression on and off since my a bout of not very successfully treated PND after DS was born 5 years ago, but a few major life events in the last 2.5 years added to a hormonal rollercoaster of a pregnancy has made for a not very happy bunny. I suppose its easy to hide it when talking on-line.

I am getting better though and yesterday felt normal all day for the first time in god knows how long .....then its all been a bit much again today

Its all Next's fault...I felt fine till i couldn't get the sale stuff to work

Obviously I never really got into HP. Is this the last book?

i've not read any of them...and have only seen about 15mins of the first film . i think i must be pretty unique in that.

We do want to get a box set though and start reading them to DS.

Next have a lot to answer for Daisy
