June 07 - hankering after a quieter, more peaceful time

[daisyandbabybootoo]

I think all that talk of superheroes made us all a bit feisty

gutted blondie, have you tried ringing them, or the venue? what can you do if they are bogus?

sorry to call you that, was too lazy to type in full, i'll stick to BNM, actually that's easy, those keys are next to each other!

I have had an email from tickettout.org which is a site set up against this kind of thing, and they say that as I have paid by cc I can claim it back. But I still am gutted as you say, DH in particular - he really really wants to go. Will have to wait to see if the tickets actually turn up first, though I have done some research and found a lot of worrying stuff and the websit I have bought from

Don't worry about shortening my new name I am going to change it again when I can think of something suitable.>

Oh Delor, I was NOT a pretty site at this step class. I do think I am a pretty good mover most of the time (ok ok after many drinks I THINK I am the greatest dancer) but I was all over the place. May stick to walking my DC's to the park.

Blonde that sux re your gig tickets. IT would have been a really good night out too.

Now better get home.
Using the gym for MN does seem wrong.

You pay your membership don't you Els? Why not? Am impressed tho step - and quite used to really enjoy it too.

Right, changing the beds and cleaning bathroom etc, we have babysitter coming tonight and don't want her thinking what a sloppy madam I am

oh blonde
to wean or not to wean?

I weaned DS at 4months, he stopped BF, was taking any more bottles but was hungry so it seemed "right" to do.

With DD I am all confused again. Just been reading about BLW but confused. DD isn't taking much more milk (and I refuse to force feed her Claire Verity style) so if she starts showing signs of hunger but doesn't want milk then I will prob start. If not I will leave it.

Bye for now everyone

meant to say he was NOT taking any more bottles

Just the same here Els - DD I started weaning at 15 weeks and 4 days - no problems. So they changed it a couple of months later - but hey I've just decided that if it was good enough for DD etc - also DS has cut down feeding gaps - from 4 hours to 3 hours

Perhaps boys are hungrier IYSWIM - DS actually grabs my hand and pulls the spoon to his mouth! Also I keep thinking - well he is 18lbs (and DD wasn't that until well over 6 months)

Yup i weaned my other 2 at 17/18 weeksish and they are both still alive!!!
i have chosen to try and wait till 6 months this time though because i want to try baby lead weaning.
used to be advised to wean at 4 months, then 4-6 months now "experts" say 6 months it's difficult when the goal posts keep getting moved isn't it?

Should explain - 18lbs - he must need more to sustain that weight if that makes sense or am I talking arse?

talking of which it's feeding time again in this zoo!!!.... back later x

I would also say that I admire anyone that can wait that long, maybe I'm just impatient.

Welcome back BNM! lovely to have you back, you've been missed, you know!

And well done all the sleeping babies! Yay! We might start feeling 'normal' soon

Good point Derlor - need to sterilise some bottles see you later xx

Nice name Foxy and thanks I have missed you guys but just feel like I've been in a flat spin!

BTW what is 'normal'? I was never normal!

Really am going now xx

Derlor, in your capacity as HV, can you PLEASE explain to me how it is I am losing so much hair from my head, yet it appears to be growing abundantly on my upper lip

I use the term 'normal' loosely [sp?]

foxy PMSL at you lip hair sorry!!
it's all down to hormones i'm afraid. It is quite common for women to experience some hair loss approximately 3-4 months after childbirth. It is triggered by the sudden changes in hormone levels, and happens to about 1/2 of us i'm afraid (Derlor scratches head and a big chunk of hair comes away....again!!) It should be back to normal in about 6 months or so! Danfruff is also very common around now
the lip hair puzzles me - as it would be caused by a surge in tertosterone (male hormone) i'll do a bit of research on this one and get back to you x

this is interesting....."I have facial hair, especially above my upper lip. What causes this?
This is a condition called "hirsutism" (defined as excessive growth of facial and body hair). It indicates that there is a hormone imbalance between estrogen, testosterone (the dominant male hormone), and progesterone. Progesterone acts as a regulator for the entire endocrine system. A woman who has the hirsute problem probably has PMS, too." bugger! - have you got PMS???
this is interesting too think this explains it better?

BW Foxy, meant to congratulate you an your achievement last night, feels great when you are all organised and can have some me time huh?

Re dandruff - I was shaking my head over DD's head the other day so my hair hung down towatds her face and she could play with it, and then I noticed she was getting showered in dandruff Decided it was time to change my shampoo.
