May 2007 Postnatal, sleep and smiles only please babies!!!

[Mrsjaffabiffa]

Thought it was time for a new thread.

Men heh? I agree with the developmental bit BB, J is desperate to roll over AND sit up and I remember with the other dc that they often had disrupted nights just before they mastered something 'new'. I am going to hold off weaning for another month to see what happens..

LG&T and MrsJB, how do I get a lickinlips or a bluebit?

April, sorry to hear it was tough seeing your grandad, I'm sure you absolutely made his day, seeing you and the babies.

Click on my Bluebit and you can get one, my sister did it for me. Tis great fun!

Did i miss the meetup AM? Cant find it on the meetup threads, hope i didnt

We are off to a wedding tomorrow, DH sister! Have almost packed up the car and organised 6 outfits with spares. Phin is bridesmaid, she is so excited, girlie sparkles, huge dresses and all that. Will be gone for 2 night staying in a hotel. Have to get there though, friday rushhour Portsmouth to Oxford, looking forward to that not.

A lady just had her babies (twins) on the multiples thread, Dante Angelo and Nova Rose, how cute is that?!!

Well between mumsnet, ebay and facebook Im hardly off the pc lol. Found a really good friend on it last night and have spent a couple of hours tonight chatting to him. Its been great catching up, hes joined the royal marines now and boy does he look good in uniform lol (shh dont tell dh ) Apparantly he had been looking for me on there for a while, someone loves me

LG&T, meet up hasnt even been arranged yet - it was just going to be a small on ei htink, you, me, lupins, mum2g?? and someone else i think. We were just trying to pick a date that would suit everyone.

Me!! I was going to try to meet up too. I can do most days, sure dh can take ds2 to pre-school if need be

Pick a day ladies, any day. Just not Mondays or Thursdays

Sorry pebble, brain stopped

Not next week for meet up - Im skint this birthday party is costing a fortune!!! week after may be good tho! AM am I still good for a lift in your swanky new car?

LGT how do I make icing that is thick like in the tubes you can buy, just wondered if you may know - its for our KK donut decorating on Saturday - if not going to have to go and buy some, thought it may be more fun and cheaper to make it tho

I am finally starting to feel like I am getting on top of my housework for about the 1st time since being pregnant and useless, havent washed up, but am pretty on top of it yippeeee - it will only last until half term and dd will trash the place

benson lol at your dh - thats excatly what mine says

Sweet dreams all xx

Hi, I'm starting work tomorrow and am fighting back tears because I just realized that I'm going to leave my babies behind. I think I'm going to sit here holding Cruz all night just so he knows I love him. Is it normal to enjoy your second baby more than the first?

MKG good luk with the job tomorrow, Its bound to be a wrench, as for enjoying 2nd more than 1st - sorry to say but I am too, Arlen is like a dream in comparison to Willow hope tomorrow goes well

I am up at sill o clock as Arlen has develpoed a hacking cough and is bunged up with thick snot between his nose and throat and cant clear it poor love - and guess who cant find thier snot suck!!

Of course the lift is still there for you Hope you managed to get back to sleep.

MKG, good luck for your first day.

Pants night sleep here for both kiddies. Ella was up between 12&2 and ds from 5am - think he woke at half 2 as well.

Phew.. thought i missed the meetup then! Im ok any day but will have to be back in time for school pickup at 3 so a morning would be better. Gun Wharf is nice, but extra toddlers would probabaly leg it ie Hugs. But then he legs it wherever i am I will pick up Pebble too, ok Pebble?

Hope little Arlen got some sleep Lups and you!

Am packing for the wedding and tidying house so it is not a state when i come home to it on Sunday night. Well actually im on here and making an aquarium on face book Must go...close tabs....cant do it....

LOL LG&T I too am making an aquarium

Enjoy the wedding..

I might be able to come to the meet up too, let me know where you all decide.

ooooooooooo how exciting were going to meet people, yipppeee adult conversation at last!!

Lups im not really an adult... im an 17 year old geeky lad (one with extensive knowledge of pregnancy and childbirth)

Oh cant pull that one MrsJB has met me

Hi all

Count me in for the meet up, what about the week after next? Mornings are fine for me, i will leave it to you to suggest where, as i am still getting to know the area and haven't ventured much outside fareham yet.

I think Dh and i went to gunwharf just before i had G, is that where the seconds shop for next, denby, M & S are? I will look up if i can get there via bus, train. It will be cool to meet u all in person, you all look very glam on facebook! Got to go, got to get my lunch before g wakes up!

lol lgt thats how i feel,

Lupins you know what my issue is, because Mateo was a much easier baby. I just enjoy holding Cruz more, maybe it's because I know how fast time will go by and I took that for granted before.

Cam- I'm waiting for Aidan to wake up with his toes in his mouth.

MKG - I feel for you about going to work. I'm not going back for a couple of months but am already feeling gutted about leaving Aidan.

hello

MKG hope work goes ok for you. I think you do enjoy your second more, I think alot of it is because you've been there done that and are not panicking every second of every day about your capabilities as a mother. Unfortunately no.3 doesn't get alot of time so as much as I am enjoying Jorja and she is soooooo easy I don't feel I've given her much from me.

lg&t, have a lovely day tommorow, phin is going to love being a bridesmaid. She'll look gorgeous.

Jorja has seen the eye specialist this morning. Her vision is fine and he is hopeful her sticky eye will clear by the time she is one. WTF! It won't effect her eye though and if it is still a problem after she is one then they will do an op to open the canal from the tear duct, means a general though so they are not keen to do it. I thought as she'd been through that today I may as well go the whole hog so I took her for her 2nd lot of jabs and she was weighed. 14lb 4 now. Porker!

Maddie is a star, yey, had a disasterous day potty training on day 4 infact I nearly gave up but day 5 yesterday she cracked it. NO accidents, even did a poo in the potty and all of them on her own. She even pulls up and down her pants, bless (think thats an independant girl thing)H was months before he'd do it unaided. Today has been the same so far and I've stopped asking her every half hour today and she is remembering fine.

Jealous about the meet up, I'm a southerner so would be there to see you lovely ladies meeting. Lg&t is definately not a 17yr old lad, if she is she has an amazing surgeon.

Pebble have you got your wine from lg&t yet. I'd forgotten about it, if you haven't hopefully you can get it at the meet up.

Fallout from the first week back at school - round one, 5 year old girl 0, mummy 1 she seems to have run out of goodness, having spent it all on being a model child at school...

Well done Maddie, ds1 is only just learning to cope with his pants!

I definately enjoyed dc number 2 much more than the first and am equally enjoying J as he seems to be so easy. Good luck MKG with the new job.

Dh is convinced the whole lot of you are 17 year old spotty geeks

Huff huff..I want to come to the meet up..
Maybe I will venture onto facebook then if everyone else is..although I know I will end up on it all the time and be a wreck as Ive no friends

DH has returned from accounts conference but is incredibly hungover from 3 days of 'management bonding' (ie getting as drunk as poss for free and paintballing and the like).Thus he is unable to move..since he has returned I have changed all the sheets, cleaned the house, made tea, popped to Tesco, bathed both girls, read to L, sterilized and made up all the bottles and watered neighbours plants.DH on the other hand, has been asleep on the sofa!He may as well have stayed away!He is at college all day tomorrow too so no help there, hey ho..I have done rather well on my todd this week if I do say so myself and have actually quite enjoyed it..always nice to be able to watch what you want on telly..

I am loving it with my second too..With hindsight I now realise I was a nervous wreck with L..and not myself at all..this time around its great, but then M is really a dream of a baby so I am very lucky..

Will pounce on the postie in the morn my lovely Cam!

Have just got into bed to find sheet soaking wet..L must've poured her water onto the bed earlier when I wasnt looking..yuck yuck its very soggy..what was that about having done well?I beg of you..we will have to flip the sodding mattress now!
And when Id just changed all the sheets as well!
