Afternoon ladies.

Octo - thinking of you and praying for your family xxx.

Runny (and Elkie) - you know you can rely on the ladies on here when you need them for any support & advice. PND is shit (and I do speak from personal experience). But you will get through it, I promise. Runny I will go and look at your other thread.

STILL havent sent that book swap email
Pinion, you wanted it twice, yes?

leakyR · 31/07/2007 17:27

thread is really exciting!

Katy - G is also a wriggler and can be quite a noisy eater so discreet feeding is out of the question! Getting more used doing it in public. TBH I find strangers don't gawp it's more likelywith people I know.

leakyR · 31/07/2007 17:28

Sorry meant this

maveta · 31/07/2007 17:52

Thanks for the well wishing re. meeting with my boss. She did actually turn up and we had a good old natter. Things still not particularly firm for my return.. kind of been left hanging but am actually looking into other things as well.. hmm.. we´ll see, we´ll see..

Runny - sorry to hear you have suspected PND, glad you are getting help for it, thinking of you xx

Lol at public norkage. I´ve been thinking about this a fair bit after all the posts you get on here and you know breastfeeding in public is so no big deal out here.. no one has ever so much as looked at me twice, to my knowledge, much less said anything about it. I have no shame.. yesterday we went to view a house (we occasional suffer the very mistaken delusion that we can actually afford to buy) and N was wailing for food. I had him in his baby bjorn so I just loosened it so he hung really low, whapped my boob out and off he went! Had a muslin to kind of vaguely drape over the most obvious of the cleavage and that was that. Munched away for about 30mins! The estate agent didn´t even bat an eyelid.

PS. We´re en route to constipation central again.. not pooed since friday and today he´s started his gnnnnnnnrnnrrrrnn (red face and straining). Yay. Never have I occupied myself so much with another person´s bowel movements. Or found myself willing them on ´push, push, you can do it, gnnnnnnnnnn´

Pinions · 31/07/2007 18:11

Maveta you can hire my mum and dads boat .

Pinions · 31/07/2007 18:14

Another great day here.

Family days out, aren't they the best!!

Been to boating lake and "sunbathed" for a couple of hours,ds1 did a whole lap on "scooter", followed by picnic, followed by walk around nearby "Golden Acre Park", fab day all in all.

I don't want this weather to end......ever!

Hmm tomorrow?

Katy44 · 31/07/2007 18:15

It's not so much that I mind people seeing, more that he doesn't get very much, gets frustrated and angry and I get wet (as does anyone within squirting distance )

Pinions · 31/07/2007 18:15

And Katy NOT funny.

Katy44 · 31/07/2007 18:25

Sorry

Pinions · 31/07/2007 18:58

HI to everyone else, sunny vibes until the end of september purlease.

Right off to be a good wifey (well almost). .

eca · 31/07/2007 19:12

HELLLLLLOOOOOOOO!! Finally back from our epic holiday/wedding frenzy!

The wedding went well and the sun shone even though the rest of the uk was flooded! Had a few meltdowns in the week running up to it (including my dress having to be completely remade 2 days before the weddding), but came through ok. Had my make-up done on the day by someone who does make-up for the Emmerdale cast! Don't watch it myself, but my Aunt will DIE when I tell her!

T did really well and coped with being hauled from pillar to post all week. We had a pool where we were staying and took him swimming for the 1st time! He absolutely loved it and was sooooo cute!

Not caught up at all! Not much hope the way you lot chat! But noticed that Bugmum popped in. Hope you're doing well with your lovely boys

And Runny, thinking of you xxx

And Maveta we're in Norfolk But I expect you're looking at Norfolk broads, we're over the other side of Norwich (west Norfolk). But if you do come and fancy meeting up we'd lurve to see you, Noah and dh!

Ok, need to go and put T to bed. The darling boy has slept through 4 times now in the last 10 days AND he picked the night of the wedding to sleep until 8am which was bliss as we didn't get in until 1.30am. Not sure if it was the amount of booze I'd guzzled though

Will try later to work out how to put a couple of photos up of the dress (WITH straps!) and T in the pool!

Hi ladies

Bugmum, lovely to see you again. Sounds like you are very happy and settled. x

Katy and GMM, glad to hear you had a good day today.

Leaky, pmsl at public norkage! I love that word.

Eca, glad to hear the wedding/hol went well -welcome back.

Runny, sorry to hear that you have suspected PND. I really hope you get the help and support you need hun.

Emmy, do I take it you are no longer knackered!??

Ange, hope the sinusitis is easing. My cold seems to have developed in to sinusitis as well, so lots of sudafed and Anadin Extra.

I am afraid I have forgotten everything else .

All ok here. K has been quite whingy today. I don't know whether it is because of hunger or whether she is teething. Lots of hand in mouth, bouts of crying and tons of dribble.

Just a quick question to the NON NORK FEEDERS:

What weights are your babies, and how many ounces are they having and how often?

Thank you.

Hope everyone is ok. xx

eca · 31/07/2007 21:09

ok tried to add photos. did it work?!

eca · 31/07/2007 21:16

no, ok, trying again...

Sexonlegs · 31/07/2007 21:16

eca, you don't appear to have a profile up and running ie no little yellow symbol.

JoMa · 31/07/2007 21:17
