Lovely photos, Eca - glad the wedding went well.

Runny, am sorry to hear about the PND but at least you have a diagnosis so that's a positive step forward. I had it after dd and found a local PND support group very helpful (despite DH referring to my "misery mums group ).

Hope everyone with lurgies get better soon. We've all had disgusting colds and DH appears to be developing some kind of extended man-flu or possibly even the pneumonic plague.

Went to the zoo today. Had to queue for ages to get in as half of Edinburgh had the same bright idea. Had lunch first then set off to see some animals at which point dd started wailing "Neeeeeed to hold mummy's haaaand " swiftly followed by "Waaant to go hoooome ". My increasingly desperate entreaties of "ooh, look at the monkeys" and finally "do you fancy some ice-cream?" were met with wails so back home we went. . Needless to say after a snooze in the car she was fine and demanded ice-cream as soon as she got back in the house !

Am off to resize some photos for my profile as have finally got around to downloading them from the camera.

Oh no, is Joe poorly already from nursery??
That is one thing I am not looking forward to when K starts - the bugs!

emmymummy · 31/07/2007 21:36

MMM mmm Joma, keep us posted on the tasty men!

SOL the Calpol was because she seems to be teething and was quite unsettled, dribbling and gnawing away at her hands at bedtime yesterday. She looked really shocked at the taste and spat most of it out though, bless.

Evening ladies

Eca pics are lovely. T is a happy chappy. V.cute.

JoMa - sounds like work is FUN! I met Dh when we shared an office (not that I'm marrying you off or anything )

Right I'm saying goodnight as I need a bath and early night as I want to go to the 9.50 am showing of HP with George tomorrow. Fingers crossed he doesn't scream.

JoMa · 31/07/2007 21:37

JoMa · 31/07/2007 21:38

lol at 'Calpol code' Joma. Em is a strict follower of the code and hopefully S will be too! Calpol is good stuff

elkiedee · 31/07/2007 21:39

SOL, Danny weighed on Thurs at 15 lb - big for age but in proportion to length apparently - the feeds are 7 oz but how hungry he is varies quite a lot. I tend to feed on demand though and just use timing of last feed as a way of guessing whether his yowls are hungry or something else (often a wet nappy).

JoMa · 31/07/2007 21:41

matthew was, and still is, a little sod on calpol, and nurofen

both make him hyper and i get no rest, long ago given up unless it's vital he has it, in which case i try to do it just before he goes to daddy

oooo, can you give them calpol for teething?? T took forever to settle tonight, screaming in pain and chewing/dribbling like mad.

emmymummy · 31/07/2007 21:41

Wow 15lb Elkie - he is growing really well!

JoMa · 31/07/2007 21:42

oooh yes Eca, works wonders!

ok, will be getting the pink stuff asap then!

elkiedee · 31/07/2007 21:46

Help! Danny's apparently trying to crawl already! He's not succeeding but it won't be long at this rate, and I don't think we're ready for it AT ALL.

emmymummy · 31/07/2007 21:46

Nighty night, off to bed. May see you with a 'knackered' tomorrow

JoMa · 31/07/2007 21:47

night EM

Sexonlegs · 31/07/2007 21:49

Medised is fanbloodytastic. Tempted to have some tonight myself.

Wow Elkie, 15 pounds - what a good solid size. K is only 12 pounds and is 14 weeks. She is so diddy compared to B at this stage, and B was formula fed too. What formula is Danny on?

Liath, sorry that dd was a pickle at the zoo.

JoMa, you go girl. Isn't that the main reason for going to work - to have a little flirt???

JoMa · 31/07/2007 21:50

but of course SOL
