Hello all, V quick message as mad dash tidying house, preparing food (Actually yet to start that and people arriving in 3 hours...). It's Jordi's first birthday!!!!!! Cannot believe my little 4lb2oz mite is a 24ish lb one-year-old. Just like to take the opportunity to say thanks again for all your support in the hellish early days (and since), I honestly might have cracked without you lot.
Lots of love, Callie and Jordi xxx

Happy Birthday Jordi!

Happy Birthday to Jordi!!

Hope the party goes well

bethoo · 08/01/2008 15:20

Best wishes for Jordi on his first birthday.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

bethoo · 08/01/2008 15:21

Rosy - yummy cake!! looks massive!

fitfox · 08/01/2008 17:11

Happy 1st Birthday little Jordi!!!!

Hope you enjoy it too Callie

Bethoo - if he is going to be the big strong responsible man from now on, why is he blubbing like a weak man on the phone? [pitiful emoticon]

You are going to the gym, meeting new people on FB, being responsible and looking after your baby.

In contrast he is being a pathetic, dope addicted, emotionally weak flake!!

(sorry, got a bit carried away there...)

MerryPIFFLEmas · 08/01/2008 17:38

Happy Birthday Jordi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow .... Hope the day was fabby!
Bethoo, if you think if exp changed , you could take him back , then tell him what you need him to do to earn it back
Earn, not spend, pay you back, BEHAVE like a man who can provide side by side for his child and mother of his child.
And do not let him back into house or bed until he has proved it.
If he is serious he will JUMP to it

Well negative tests!!!!!!!!!!!! HOORAY but still no AF
Am 40 days now!!!

ReverseThePolarity · 08/01/2008 17:44

Oh god I go away for a day and... too much to catch up on!

So wanted to say, happy birthday Jordi! I can't believe it, our first thread birthday!

Piffle... glad to hear your result is negative (that is what you wanted isn't it?) now you just need AF to turn up!

Everyone else, going to love you & leave you and come back when I'm a bit less stressed!

muppetisacat · 08/01/2008 19:56

Oops - missed that is was Jordi's birthday today.. have been too busy exploding Jacket potatoes in the oven ...

Jaysthird · 08/01/2008 20:28

HAPPPPPPY BURPDAY TO JORDI!!!!!!!

I hope the birthday party went really well Callie, and the kids didn't wreck the joint!!

I had 5 little ones (it was enough, trust me) over last Sat for DD1 2nd birthday, it was chaotic but loads of fun!

I cant believe i am only 49 days away from my due date, for some strange reason i am shitting it this time round!!??

Going to have a read the posts, and then while DH plays Guitar Hero3 (joy) i will reply

Divastrop · 08/01/2008 20:35

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JORDI

wow,i remember logging on and saying 'oh my god!one of the ante-natal thread ladies has had her baby already!' to a bemused dh.it only seems like 5 minutes ago.

Elsie will be 10 months tomorrow

she wont drink her bottles,atall.she wont drink any milk whatsoever today,even cows' milk from a juice cup.i hope shes ok and is going to have 6 new fecking teeth tomorrow.

i have brushed her teeth every morning+evening since they appeared.she loves it.

kitty-why do you have 5 sets of tetth to brush?i'm sure at least 2 of your dc are old enough to brush their own(and ilke i say to mine,its their problem if all their teeth fall out cos they cant be bothered to brush them).

bethoo-remember that your xp is just saying those things to try and win you back.if you were to give in to him he would behave for about a month then go back to being a tosser.
dont get me wrong,i believe that people who really want to change their ways can do it,but only if they are doing it for themselves.if he wins you round this time he will believe he can do it again and again.
and stop feeling guilty.i felt like a total bitch after splitting with xp.he begged and pleaded and i felt so guilty.everyone felt sorry for him and i was made out to be a total cow for dumping him.bearing in mind that he had twice been convicted of ABH on me(and they were the 2 times the police wouldnt allow me to drop the charges).dont let him get to you,stay strong!

evenhope · 08/01/2008 20:36

Happy birthday Jordi!

Sazzy join the March 07 crew on FB and then the rest of us can find you

Well I went back to work today Was really worked up about it so that last night I woke every hour or so (and of course DD slept almost through) and when I did sleep I had nightmares.

It was fine. Better still DD was fine, apart from managing to get the lid off her cup and coating herself in pear juice... Does make me wonder why no-one was watching her, but then yesterday I noticed she had a little bottle of tea tree body lotion and thought nothing of it until a few minutes later saw she had a lid in one hand and the bottle to her mouth

kittywise · 08/01/2008 20:44

Did Jordi have a lovely party callie?
Ron is 9 months old today

Diva, I sometimes brush the bigger ones' teeth, especially if the dentist has a go

Well dd3 did really well at toddler group today, no nasty behaviour "no bite" she said as we went in (bless).
She kept it together until the last 1/2 hour when she bit a little girl really hard on the hand .

If she doesn't want something she says "no like", at least the speech is coming.

sazzybeehomeforxmas · 08/01/2008 20:54

Happy birthday Jordi

I hope he enjoyed his party callie. Can you post pics please? I think I am in the march group on fb. I will have to check again as I obviously missed people due to being a total dunderhead.

Evenhope - I was like that on sunday. Elliot slept really well and I think I got about 3 hours, worrying and tossing and turning. Annoying isn't it? Glad your first day was okay and hope you have a better night tonight.

Glad some of you are being as rubbish as me at teeth brushing. I will start tomorrow!

Have day off tom - this is hopefully going to be my new timetable - work 2 days then day at home then another 2 days. I think this is a much better plan than 4 days in a row

Right - off to do some exciting telly watching. New series of CSI starts in a mo. I'm a bit obsessed with it

FourCalliecoingBirds · 08/01/2008 21:35

Thanks for all birthday messages . Well the party went well, Jordi despite having had not a good day prior to it was mostly fine during it, got lots of pressies, the other babies were great (it was the four older ones 7,6,5,4, who were the problem ), and I now feel like a parent - I've done a party and survived. Off to continue drinking now all quiet on western front!

bethoo · 08/01/2008 22:54

Callie- glad party went well, i do nto know if i will even do the first birthday thing as only know one other baby here who i 3 days older than Hayden. at least me nade his mum can celebrate!!!!
Piffle- is this your first period since having lo? it took me 4 cycles to regulate as the first periods were between 40 and 45 days.
was it Sazzy who said she liked CSI? my fave is Vegas. watched new episode tonight. very good, i love it!
xp came over as he took me food shopping. he was being all mopey and saying he was going to change for me but i said he had to do it for himself, to stop being dependent on his mother for one. until he gets his head sorted and his future sorted, he wanted to stay the night and i was tempted as he is a good lover but i did not want to lead him on. would not mind no strings attached sex but he would presume we were back together!!

morocco · 08/01/2008 22:54

woohoooo! happy belated birthday jordie, agree it seems only a few months ago at most that I logged on to find out the first of the march crew had their baby!
so so sorry not to come on here more often, it's all so busy these days, just have time to read the odd few threads, mostly bf, then back to the grind
just wanted to let you all know that emily has been ill, she was in hospital over the weekend with suspected pneumonia altho they decided it was bronchiolitis in the end. anyhow, she's fine now, but it was a bit . mind you, she coping beautifully with it all and the hosp were fab
anyhow, back to lesson planning

muppetisacat · 09/01/2008 09:19

glad emily is ok morocco

party sounds a success callie

piff - I'm joining the menstruating ranks! Got my 1st af last night - it's been nice not to have them... what a faff - still bfding loads - but obviously not enough.

bethoo · 09/01/2008 09:44

MOrrocco - sorry to hear about Emily but glad she is well now. hugs
Morning everyone. hope you all slept well.

Rosylily · 09/01/2008 09:57

Morocco that must have been stressfull, glad she is okay now.

Callie the party sounds like it went okay! Well done!

Am I the only one left not to have af yet then? I wish I would get it, my hormones are annoying me!

fitfox · 09/01/2008 09:59

Morocco - good to hear from you and I'm glad Emily is OK (how frightening for you!)

Diva - you had to go through so much gried with your ex. What a B*stard!!

Bethoo - well done for sending him on his way last night

Diva/Kitty I let DS1 clean his teeth but nag him all the while, calling out - "have you *brushed for 2 minutes?", or "if you don't brush them properly, you will end up with sore teeth like G and the dentist will have to pull them out" (a friend's son who has had 2 extractions and loads of filling by age 6)

Evenhope - glad first day went OK - don't worry it'll be fine once you get back into the swing of things

Sazzy - 2 days on, 1 day at home, 2 days on sounds great - you never get more than two days in office in a row.

I am interviewing for lodgers atm. I have:

  • Chinese proff/studying couple (I said I didn't want a couple)
  • 2 women who work long hours and can bring an extra bed, but speak no English
  • A lone parent with a 7 yr old DS, who I didn't bond with
  • A male lecturer (said I wanted females)
  • A female student (said I wanted professionals only)

Strangely, all the female professionals have been either realy unreliable (not turning up for viewings) or they have turned up but been very demanding (asking for all sorts of extras/rent reductions/want to change all the furniture)

fitfox · 09/01/2008 10:01

Rosy - make the most of your temporary AF free liberty!!

ReverseThePolarity · 09/01/2008 11:24

Jay, if you are around would you take a little look at this about silent reflux?

I have spent all morning so far applying for jobs & speaking to agencies and I'm a bit bored now so I thought I'd have a coffee, go on MN and express a bit of milk (mil has Bertie for the morning). So hello everyone!

Rosy I am AF free too. My poor dusty mooncup. I too feel hormonal, it's like it's all building up inside of me waiting to burst, both literally and metaphorically. I feel like a dam! Hope that's not tmi!

Foxy lol @ your lodger situation; maybe you don't want a female professional after all!

Morocco poor you, that must've been a huge stress. Glad she is better now.

Bethoo your xp sounds like he needs to sort himself out; maybe in a few years' time when he's a bit more mature if he proves himself you can take him back then? If you're not already off with one of your FB beaus!!

Evenhope, glad work wasn't as bad as you thought it was going to be!!

Sazzy your new work plan does sound better I think.

Diva are they allowed cows' milk at this age then? I thought you had to wait for a year, which I always thought seemed a bit odd as they can have dairy products from six months...

Hope Elsie is back to her milk ASAP.

Kitty I brush Bertie's teeth. Or rather, I put some toothpaste on the brush and he chews on it so much that I figure they get a pretty good clean anyway!!

Muppet sorry your AF has appeared... I suppose at least you must feel that things are back to some kind of "normal"?

Callie glad you had a good party.

Right back to coffee & app forms now.....

ReverseThePolarity · 09/01/2008 11:24

Should that have been beaux?
