AM so sorry to hear about your Grandad.
SKY Huge congratulations, another one who is a bit here.
Ok have now caught up here but am yet to revisit old thread.
Feel like all I do is moan these days have had a crap few weeks. Been referred for back/shoulder pain and went for physio this week only to be told I have pulled/torn a disc in my neck. Ouch.
Also went in for meeting at work a fortnight ago to be told they are shutting down the centre where I work. Part of me thinks don't worry you can maybe become a SAHM and then I see my bank balance and realise no can do. I should have a job for the next year (not due back until April 2008) as they wind down all the current business but still a big .
I am also really excited about christmas this year as DD has really got the idea this time. I can't help but feel shitty that there should be 3 DCs here though. Also an extra bod down round the table as my Grandma died just after B.
Me and DH usually have all my grandparents round for lunch and since 2004 our christmas guests have been dwindling but we have added in the ones left behind like my Mum and DH Dad otherwise they would be on their own. My remaining Grandma will prob be her last Christmas as she is an ill woman and is basically staying alive by sheer will and determination. Bless her. DH and I have said we will probably go away next Christmas as a change of scene.
DH also fell out with his dad a fortnight since and they have not spoken since, he is coming to us for christmas lunch. Ho Ho Ho!
I am also wondering what to do for B, I think I will take him a pressy and a small tree or wreath or something. I feel each month when G is the next month old how great he is x months but then I feel crappy as it reminds me how many months since B died.
God I bet you've missed me haven't you prophet of doom and gloom that I am.
G is getting weighed again today as last week he had only put on 3 oz in 5 weeks. HV should be here any minute now. I have been a bit remiss in his weaning but have really got on with it this last week, he just hadn't seemed ready before. Bless him he doesn't even sit up yet on his own. He weighed 12lb 13oz last week so hopefully a marked gain by today.
DH is still driving so there is hope although he still has yet to drive himself and DD in to work/nursery. If she is at nursery then I have to drive.
The house should be ready early Feb and have posted some pics to let you have a nosey. (although not sure if christmas name links up properly).
Please don't feel ypu have to post just getting it all off my chest has helped.
Hope all of you who have been poorly or have poorly little ones are okay and agree with LGT it sounds like impetigo you can get some cream from the GP to help clear it up but it is highly contagious. DD had it earlier in the year and ended up with it on her mouth, nose, thumb, both legs, elbow and bottom. G had it on his mouth and back of his head where DD kissed him.
