Don't go to bed just yet - It's your turn at Scrabble, Leaky!

leakyR · 23/08/2007 22:31

Played my turn and left you a wide open Z begging to be used!

Goodnight!

CaptainDippy · 23/08/2007 22:33

Used it! Night hon!

weeonion · 23/08/2007 22:36

ellie- i ma not sure but anything has to be better than an evening in with big brother!! still not drinking so no doubt will a sober one for me! (not the same for dp!)

leaky - yep - it is the one with the underwater photos - they look great!

sol - we go to bounce n rhyme - sounds like yr sing n sign. c loves it - but tends to yell/ shout alot. guess thats the idea really. have put gmm and my name down to gymbabes as well.

i am spending a fortune on ml - classes / groups / lunches/ coffees/ ah well. no helped by shopping trips with gmm

c on 2nd night of a last ff. she screamed the place down again and refused it from both dp and i. ended up giving ebm instead. felt awful - especially as we are heading towards full ff. off to see bf specialist 2morro am for last attempt to sort this. we'll see. also physio for pelvic floor. feel like the bionic woman - needs rebuilt!!

EllieK · 23/08/2007 22:38

nooooooooooooo, we went to Norwich cos it was raining, they're dodgy in Norfolk

I spent a fortune while on ML with my 1st ... all part of the package!!

Tis cold here ....

CaptainDippy · 23/08/2007 22:48

Sorry to hear about C and the FF / BF - hope the specialist can help hon. xx My Pelvic Floor is shot to pieces.

weeonion · 23/08/2007 22:53

pelvic floor - i think i left that behind in the labour suite

quiet night on here...

so sling mama - advise me on a new sling. got to grips with my ring sling but fancy a mei tai. what do you think?

CaptainDippy · 23/08/2007 22:55

Do you have a "snuggly baby"??

weeonion · 23/08/2007 22:56

nope - tell me more?

CaptainDippy · 23/08/2007 22:58

Hopefully Ellie will agree with me on this one (!?) I love the Mei Tai sling, but it puts the baby v.close & snuggly into you, iykwim!? My 1st loved it, my 2nd tolerated it but my 3rd is not keen at all - she is a very "looking out", inquisitive little soul ..... What do you think, Ellie??

EllieK · 23/08/2007 22:59

i love the mai tei, goes everywhere with me

i'm here but looking at clothes for my night out

OP posts:
EllieK · 23/08/2007 23:00

it does keep them very close, Joe is very much a snuggly baby, he likes to see whats happenng but he can see over my shoulder. he has always been one to lie on my chest snuggling and the mei tai seems perfect for him

OP posts:
EllieK · 23/08/2007 23:01

but yes, a baby that doesn't like being held close won't be as comfortable in it

OP posts:
CaptainDippy · 23/08/2007 23:02

That's what I thought ... Moobs is a right little schnuggler, isn't he?? Pea Pod is sooooo interested in everything around her now, wants to be held out all the time.

Think my friends are back .... BYE!

weeonion · 23/08/2007 23:04

c loves being close. she loves her slings - likes teh baba sling and a kangaroo postion at the mo. i have looked at mei tais but i am not so hot on the whole wrap / tying round idea. i am not so keen on our wilkinet.

weeonion · 23/08/2007 23:05

cd - bye and well done on teh baby sitting tonight

EllieK · 23/08/2007 23:13

i thought it would be tricky but i manage it fine, have a look at different wrap styles here

OP posts:
weeonion · 23/08/2007 23:18
