hehe, HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMBER!! (i love that name!)

Rumpel · 04/10/2007 19:17

Hi Everyone

THANKS for the Happy Birthdays.
Amber was such a happy wee soul today (she usually is though). We spent the morning in Tescos and she was delighting everyone with her giggles and babbling and smiling. I felt rather overcome with emotion though - am and slightly that my wee baby is 1 already - do you know what I mean? It is weird - was close to tears this morning.

Gave her some of her pressies and kept the rest for Saturday as her wee cousin is coming through - we thought we would have a bejous party then. Baked her a chocolate cake today and we'll light the candle and sing Happy Birthday to her again on Saturday (get it on camcorder).

Well am off for a bath and some vino - need to enjoy it while I can as I will be abstaining for ages if we conceive this month.
Got the neighbours coming round tomorrow night as we thought we should make an effort to get to know people - wonder how it will go, my bro and SIl and baby are here Saturday and then more visitors Sunday - Tesco bill was HUGE!!!!

Well night all.

It will be great to see them together again - last time they enjoyed nose pulling, eye poking and general grappling!

EeyoreIsFab · 04/10/2007 21:16

Happy Birthday Amber!!

Rumple - you seem to have had a good day & hope Saturday is just as good

1st Birthday Party question - are you all having/ had a party & what are you doing?

wuzzlefraggle · 05/10/2007 10:37

Eeyore, I'm doing a little tea party, but it's only for close family. I think there will be something like 9 of us here(10 including Anna). Will have balloons etc to decorate and a cake with a buffet type thingy going on.

Well...I swore to myself that I had bought plenty of presents for her birthday and was not going to buy any more...and last night I cracked and bought her a keyboard too lol. Damn...how the hell do you NOT spoil a lo on their birthday??? lol

Hope you are all doing well and the pregnant ladies are all blooming

gingeme · 05/10/2007 12:39

Morning ladies. We will be having a tea party too on the Sunday before Edwards birthday. Just a few cousins and friends round. Ballons,cake and a buffet too.
Took Edward to playgroup this morning and he did four more steps on his own.He stands for ages with a toy in his hand now too. So clever
Pregnancys going well thanks. Had a bit of the runs yesterday though so was starving by the evening.
Hope you are all well xx

wuzzlefraggle · 06/10/2007 16:46

Ahhh, well done Edward on the steps!

gingeme · 06/10/2007 20:47

Update update Edward is now a fully fledged walker

wuzzlefraggle · 06/10/2007 21:14

woohoo!! I bet you're a very proud mummy gingeme!!

gingeme · 07/10/2007 11:44

He he yes I am wuzzle. The funny thing is hes just learnt how to clap too so every time he stops he claps himself. Hes nothing if not modest.

gingeme · 07/10/2007 11:46

Many Happy Returns of the day too
Samantha
Darius and
Lilah
HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY

EeyoreIsFab · 07/10/2007 12:39

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY Samantha Darius and Lilah!

Well done to Edward on the walking too!

DS stands for a long time, will walk holding hands and has done as many a five steps on his on, but isn't in a hurry to keep at it [frustrated emotion]!

Thanks for letting me know about birthday celebrations - I'm just so indecisive. We are planning on a celebration the Saturday after DSs birthday - just a small party with family, but all his cousins are grown up so I'm hoping a couple of people from playgroup might be able to pop in, but we haven't seen them for ages as I've gone back to work and can't make the group . Also my Dad is likely to be in hospital then, so will have to have party on his birthday too!

(Sorry for waffling!)

wuzzlefraggle · 07/10/2007 13:14

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Samantha Darius and Lilah

Eeyore, I hope your Dad is ok chick x

Gingeme, ahhh, it's really sweet when they clap aint it? lol. Particularly when they are clapping themselves! lol

Happy Birthday Darius and Lilah.

Sorry its so late- been a hectic day.

Rumpel · 08/10/2007 10:55

Happy Birthday William!
How are you?

SAMSMAM- what did you get up too?

GINGEME - well done to Ed for multi-tasking - he'll soon grow out of that being a male and all

BABYDUCKY - are you putting the pennies in the CTF or have you opened a bank account?

We opened a bank account last week as I am a bit wary of the fact that they can get their hands on all that lolly aged 16. What would you have spent lots of cash on at 16? A tattoo of something hideous? Cider? Make-up? Parties? Even worse, like me - some saddo boyfriend who was a lazy F*d-up waste of space? Scary thought eh?

Well we had a megabusy weekend and am shattered now. Lack of sleep over the last few weeks has caught up with me. Am off for acupuncture tonight as this week is THE week - no more bevvy for me this week! Had some yummy Montes Alpha red wine at the weekend as I knew I would have to be dry for a wee while now - just in case.

Amber had her 5 thingy booster jag tomorrow - will let you all know how it goes. It should have been last week but they put it off until tomorrow as it was her birthday.

What have you all decided about the MMR? I was leaning towards singles but realistically it is the most researched inocculation of all time so I am veering towards just getting it now. People forget now how serious measles can be but I knew a girl where I used to live who caught it at 14 and has been a (sorry for the term) 'vegetable' ever since - really sad. The worst thing is you can't tell if the brain is okay inside but the body just won't respond so you are trapped in a perfectly rationale brain -aggggg! Torture.

Need to go - A is sleeping and need to study - yawn.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILLIAM!!

EffiePerine · 08/10/2007 13:08

Thanks

Haven't been on the thread in ages, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all your LOs!

Re MMR, we're going for it asap. There's a measles epidemic locally thanks to a low take up of the MMR jab and childre have been seriously ill . I know it's an emotive subject, but I would say that there is no independantly corroborated evidence against the jab and measles is a v nasty disease (and on the increase)

babyducky · 08/10/2007 14:56

happy 1st birthday william! Have a lovely day,

Its my dps birthday today aswell, we have just been out for lunch.

Rumpel- he has got a bank account that i've put the money in today.
