Hi everyone
Sorry I've been quiet of late - longer hours at work means I rarely have time to MN these days....
Can't wait to hear from you Flick and see pix of Sam - hope all goes well and Jacob loves his lickle bro! Hope Jacob gets on ok with his glasses too.
CONGRATULATIONS CB!!!! So so happy for you! How exciting! Finger's crossed for you that you don't feel too ill with it or anything. Big congratulory (sp) hug
Oh Spin, hope you're ok babe. Really hope Roshi will be ok. Must be a v stressful time but, as you say, I'm sure R will be fine in the end. As everyone has said, don't worry about offloading on us, if you want.
Lovely pix of the girls HC. The garden was a masterpiece!
Glad you have cleared the air with your DH, Annie - it's always good to have some time on your own to reconnect. Hope it becomes a more frequent thing...
Thanks to Bloss and everyone else who recommend 'How to talk so kids will listen...' - blardy fantastic!!! Highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it. Have found it's affected all my relationships - not just the parent/child one. Brilliant.
Good luck with the weaning Mae - the only time I miss b-feeding is when Ry is ill and I worry he's not getting enough nutrients. But generally it's kinda nice to get your body back to yourself! The morning feeds were the last to go with us too.
So sorry about your in-laws Bead. What ar**es. Just don't understand that kind of behaviour - sounds incredibly selfish. I can understand wanting to cut them out your lives but seems a shame at the same time... Could you maybe send them letters and photos from Charlotte - just so there is some contact, no matter how minimal? Just an idea.... Good luck with the mortgage.
How did Z's test results go, CatchinZeds? Finger's crossed for you all.
Glad you got to have a crazy afternoon out Pixel ! It's funny how you appreciate just the smallest things now, no?! If I get a night out it's such a huge treat now! My in-laws were fantastic when we were in Barcelona and DP and I went out most nights (though we were so knackered that we were back by 12...!) and they looked after Ry in the mornings so we could have super-luxurious lie-ins... bliss! (Could do with them here this Easter as both Dp and I are feeling a bit under the weather but Ry insists on getting up at 7am regardless - so inconsiderate! And he was up at 4am this morning demanding porridge - freak show!)
Hi Kbaby! Loving your ds' obsession with pink - channelling his metrosexual side already! Fantastic. Ryan likes to wear my flowery hair clips and looks so pretty!
Hope the house is going well Twinkle - bet it'll be lovely when it's all sorted.
Quick q.... anyone's else's bairn who has recently developed ezcema has now gone off bath time? Ryan used to LOVE bathtime but for the past month or so will just stand in the bath tub screaming. Don't know if the scratches on his body from the ezcema sting when he's in the water or if it's just a phase. Any ideas? Have had to bring him in the shower with me some mornings just to get him clean!
Well darlings. That's my mammoth post for the month! Hope everyone has a lovely Easter.
Hugs, Impy xxx
