Hi All
Just an attempt at a quick catch up - bit manically busy here as have the parents coming on Saturday for a few weeks and so much to get done before then?
HC - at your BIL and SIL - £2500 on a watch, good grief!! Think how many bottles of Blossom Hill you could buy with that Hope the migraine buggers off soon x
Annie - hope you had a good night out and that the haircut was a success, sounds radical!! If you do join Bloss?s Facebook please be my friend as well - you should be able to spot me fairly easily amongst Bloss's friends on the first page, I?m the one brandishing alcohol?
Bummer about Kayley?s sleeping How's she doing with food? (sorry, that sounds HV-ish, don?t mean to)! Hope Joey?s settling better at nursery. I think it really is just a question of them getting used to it, very hard though at the start - i was lucky that Emma was too young to notice when she went or I would have been a total mess, hope it gets easier soon. xx
Impy - fingers crossed it?s nothing serious, I do remember reading recently (on one of the threads here I think) that numbness is fairly common with cs scars and I guess scar tissue might well feel lumpy, especially if your belly is anything like as soft and jelly-like as mine is lol. Hope they can put your mind at rest soon xxx Re the bf, hmm alcohol-free nights don?t really feature too strongly in my schedule I think I?m ready to stop now though (bf not drinking!), though still have a few twinges of sadness of course. Have tried to stop gradually, eg tried a couple of mornings ago and she did feed, but very briefly and nothing like an equivalent to even a small bottle, so I guess she?s not really missing out on much now anyway. On the other hand she happily gutzes down formula first thing in the mornings so that?s good.
Hi Ceebee - well done to Josh - sympathise about the mixed feelings when they don?t appear to be AT ALL bothered at your departure Emma?s so preoccupied with pouncing on the nursery toys she can barely raise a wave, bit embarrassing sometimes as the nursery girls vainly try to get her to ?say bye bye to mummy?! It?s only because she?s so familiar with them now though, would be a different story if it was somewhere new I guess .
Bloss - you a bad mum - most bonkers thing I?ve ever heard! I can so understand how incessant questions must drive you nuts (bit like having new people starting at work maybe, but much worse ).
I?ve been looking forward to Emma talking a bit more (just by way of variety really from the current range of communication - ?displeased shriek? / ?herrow? / her other two or three favourite words) - but aware at the same time it?s a mixed blessing
Agalch - not surprised you enjoy your mindee and child-free opportunities - that?s a full-on early morning schedule Make the most of them - and the belly dancing!
Lysette - glad all went well with the scan - really feel for you re the sickness . But worth it in the end! It is supposed to be true that girls make you feel sicker, and also that you crave chocolate and fruit rather than pickles and salty things - we should do a poll here to see if that?s true (was for me)! And it?s great that you manage to get out and about as much as you do, much better than mooching at home.
Spin - with you on the girly clothes shopping, and it?s so much easier to buy her clothes than trying to squeeze my own fat arse into a new pair of jeans
Emma?s doing well - hospital appt today and she?s properly back on 25th centile. Have been advised to try dairy in a couple of months time in stages (starting with processed, eg in biscuits, then going onto yoghurts and cheese, then finally raw milk) and see how she goes. But she was SO well behaved during the appt, couldn?t believe it. The dietitian asked ?is she always like this?? ?NO? I said, laughing darkly.
Hi to everybody I haven?t mentioned, hope everyone?s well.
Well better get on, have good afternoons all xxxx
