oooggs - oh sweetheart

Have had a text from MJ. She's ok, just feeling a bit down/blue. Think that Christmas and NY has taken its toll.

Going to go and have a cuppa now

night all

oooggs - you are having such a rough time sweetheart. Have you tried putting salt on the blood? Sometimes that helps.

NorthernLurker · 03/01/2008 20:54

oooggs - what a miserable time you are having - has the bleeding lessened at all since?

maveta - I've never asked dh to stew fruit for B for precisely that reason - he would have to chop it all into precise shapes - never mind that it gets reduced to squelch!!

SOL - good to hear everyone's return to work has gone well.

KHIN - sorry you were all ill but good to hear you are on the mend.

Eddas - how nice you've had a good day - pleased for you

SPB - T is trying out his voice - so cute isn't it - except when it's jolly annoying - B had a good on the way back from the Lakes - excellent on the A1 - just what you need - an over-excited baby screeching, then screeching more because her sisters laughed!

Hello to everyone else I've missed

Well I've had a good day - had B weighed for the first time since September - 17lbs 6oz which seems pretty fair to me.

Then we went into town and I got the most fab new changing bag from Monsoon - 70% off in the sale

Tea ready now, back later

Sorry oooggs, no need to apologise as everyone else has said. You have to talk to someone.

Octo · 03/01/2008 21:07

Oooggs - your poor thing - thinking of youxxx DS1 has a footie match on the 20th so we can't come down that weekend but will find another date and come and give you a hug! xxxxxx

I am not GGF btw - that was birdiemum/bump - she lives down in Tanuton. Met her last January in Bristol - lovely. Had two older children.

It was me who said re-use the jars

I don;t make up special food for Ernie - I just mash or blend what we are having and freeze any leftovers!

Just had some rather yummy ice-cream Ben & jerrys choc brownie (((((yummy)))

I have started my period aswell so less freaked out about the coil thing!

Octo · 03/01/2008 21:08

Ernie weighs about 19lbs now.

StealthPolarBear · 03/01/2008 21:19

oh oooggs
You must be due some nicer and less stressful times ahead very soon!

Idreamofchocolate · 03/01/2008 21:23

Is Sophie the biggest fatso of the lot - she's over 21lb now? Put her in the backpack for a walk a couple of days ago - killed me (see my photos...)

Octo · 03/01/2008 21:27

IDOC - such beautiful children - I have seen photos before but you should be very proud - they are gorgeous - as yu are too obviously

Eddas · 03/01/2008 21:33

no idea how much ds weighs might do the old weigh myself with him/without him tomorrow

THey are gorgeous IDOC

StealthPolarBear · 03/01/2008 21:38

Lovely pic IDOC!
She looks really long as well, do you know how long she is?
I've put a picture I took today of T enjoying his first snow on my profile.

Idreamofchocolate · 03/01/2008 21:40

Thank you - I think they're gorgeous too!

Eddas · 03/01/2008 21:41

CUTE spb, LOVE the big eyed picture below the bounty one. Which btw looks like my ds' bounty picture

Idreamofchocolate · 03/01/2008 21:43

Aww c u t e SPB - love the mini-snowman next to him too!

No idea how long S is - will try to measure the wriggly monster tomorrow. Will also measure her waist - I'm sure it must be about the same as Emily's (aged 5). She's just my little chunky monkey!

StealthPolarBear · 03/01/2008 21:43

Oh I thought I'd taken that off
Dreadful isn't it, and they expect you to pay for these things?!
He might have been a bit red and squishy but he did not look like that
Go on, share yours!

StealthPolarBear · 03/01/2008 21:45

Has no-one else had their 8 month check then? T had his just before Christmas and they took all his measurements again
(well, not his waist though )
Lol at S's waist being the same as a 5 year olds!

Eddas · 03/01/2008 21:47

someone tell me how to reattach my profile. brain gone into shut down again

i will share it spb, tis a cracker thing is it looked ok on the screen and felt obliged to keep it since dd has them

Eddas · 03/01/2008 21:48

ds hasn't had a checkup. Probably depends on the health authoirty IIRC he will have one at a year

Idreamofchocolate · 03/01/2008 21:49

Argh, my last message got eaten!

No 8 month checks here. We just get left to it after a couple of months.

Off to bed, see you all tomorrow x

Eddas · 03/01/2008 21:49

don't worry brain clicked into gear and found it all by myself [thicko emoticon]

Eddas · 03/01/2008 21:50

yep i'm off to bed too. Night x

PillockOfTheCommunity · 03/01/2008 21:54

early nights you lot

no 8mth check here either, and no bounty pics, wasn't in hospital long enough with J, and they didn't come round with M, or if they did it was while I was still unconcious from being given drugs that effect my Narcolepsy. twunts!

We had ours 2 weeks ago - all fine - 50-75th for everything. All normal ...

I have added lots of pics

Octo · 03/01/2008 21:55

Our hospital won't let bounty in!

StealthPolarBear · 03/01/2008 21:57

Eddas, couldn't see your bounty pic. The rest are lovely though - it's amazing how alike their facial expressions are!
Off to look at octo's
