Pesh-a for me and oooooooogs definately - am I wrong?

Anyway Pesh-a () B was born on 21st April - so she and D are basically the same age. Interestingly dd1 and B weighed almost exactly the same at 5 months and 8 and a bit - sounds a bit like D and Maia - you just have the size of children you're meant to have

oooggs · 21/01/2008 20:24

Luce is close it is ooggs

dh used to call me oogie rhymes with boogie (something to do with my maiden name)

then it got changed to ooggs and he never calls me by my real name unless he is cross or I am about to crash the car

ds1 uses it sometimes and I try not to laugh saying 'it's mummy to you'!!!!

NorthernLurker · 21/01/2008 20:27

aaaaarh that's sweet ooggs!

geordiemacminx · 21/01/2008 20:28

Been on solids since 3 months, although she fed him here, he kept pushing it out, clearing didnt have a clue what was going on...

Maveta · 21/01/2008 20:35

i say it like Ellie - would never have thought to say Peeesha.

Sorry to hear of your worries Pillock, haven´t posted because I don´t think I can offer much advice but fwiw I´ve always thought you sound like you´re doing a great job and some of the suggestions you´ve been given sound good.

just been trying to give directions to my mum who´s gone to pick up dh. hope they´ve found each other, my directions are dire at the best of times and they aren´t communicating directly but through me so for all I know I am imagining dh somewhere completely different and directing my mum to god knows where Just glad I didn´t have to leave the house though

oooggs · 21/01/2008 20:35

blimey he weighs more than most of our 9 monthers even dt2 wasn't that heavy!

PillockOfTheCommunity · 21/01/2008 20:37

POTC, I am sorry you are having a rough ride atm. No words of wisdom, but am thinking of you.

GMM, astounded by the weight of the 4 month old baby - very bonny indeed.

Pesha, I have to say I always think of you as Pesh -A. Sorry

NL, hope your dh had a fab first day.

Ange, really glad Izzy is off the a/b's.

WO, good luck with the appeal hearing. Hope you are feeling ok about things.

Brain now shut down. Am interviewed out, and dying of sinus pain.

Hope everyone is ok.
