Hi All,
Can't pretend I keep up, but I read when I can and try to make sense of the name changes and in-jokes (I fail, miserably). I did see the sad news and am so very sorry.
I just saw the mei-tei (sp???) mentioned; I have one and it's the bestist sling ever, ever, ever. I used a pouch when G was really small and keep a ring sling in our car but now take my mei-tei everywhere. Soooo comfy and versatile and secure-feeling. Lovely. Stylish, too. Saw also about all this trying for another baby stuff. Blimey!! I hope Octo's DH will be okay about it if you do get another boy? Lovely news, though.
The only news I have is that I realize I've got much braver. DS1 is meant to be starting playgroup in October but I know he isn't ready and I also know this will be read (incorrectly) as parental anxiety, and I don't care! His welfare comes first. I want him to start after Christmas, when it will still be tricky but I hope not impossible and they can lump it.
I think this is caused by taking G to be weighed. He was born on the 50th centile, shot up to the 75th and then I hadn't had him weighed since he was 8 weeks old. Took him last week out of curiosity and he'd dropped down to between the 25th and the 50th. Now, he was teething and had just had his jabs, which I reckon could have accounted for a little, but the HVs were all,
'Ooh, we don't like this. Come again in two weeks and if he hasn't improved you'll need to see a pediatrician.' WTF??? Bfed baby, by the way, so the charts aren't relevant. The HV also doesn't seem to realize that even using the charts, the anomaly could be the 75th period!! Sure, I want to get him checked, but by the time any appointment came through, he'd be on solids anyway. So have gone bolshie all round.
Only other news is that DS1 has bitten G a couple of times Bugger.
Sorry, mega-post but I'm never on here. If you are still reading, I hope those of you who had PND are recovering, and that everything is going well.
Love,
Bugmum xx
