Ladies,
Can't take any more already this morning, I've had to put Micky Mouse Clubhouse... Aaaah. I've been a dinosaur, a bear, a Scooby Doo monster, a van (for Postman Pat), and a beanstalk...

Remember I used to never ever ever get a good night's sleep? Well, it's still the same.
Ok, it's not as bad, I can get her to sleep in her cot (after an hour of faffing and Joey going 'Mimi is waking me UP') and she sleeps soundly until sometime in the early hours. Then she wakes us up and wants nothing but to come in our bed. Once in, she necks a bottle of very watery milk, and then sleeps ok til around 5.30 am, then it's fidget city, hair pulling, kicking, etc as long as I can take it, then we're up and at it. She tries all sorts of tricks:
'I need a poo poo, mammy'
'I need calpol'
'I'm not wery well'
'I want some water'

etc etc etc...

Anything to get her out of there.

Bloss, fab pix of your two chaps!! I love the one of them both running through the grass.

Pixle, teary meltdowns x 2 here, one copies the other!

CB fingers crossed for your scan tomorrow [excited] You are SO not boring us with your pg!

Impy, gorgeous gorgeous Ry.

HC, at your fantastic slim figure. How many points in a cuppa tea? I'm on my fourth...

Best go ladies, time to dance with Mickey...
[sigh]

Annie - your stories do make me laugh (although not very funny for you).

Altogether now 'It's the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, M I C K E Y M O U S E' or is the 'hot dog hot dog hot diggety dog' tune??

Josh LOVES it!!

thefortbuilder · 10/07/2008 13:08

i refuse to have anything on but either a music channel (NOT inappropriate rap that Jacob so dearly loves ), or 30 mins of thomas a day - i would flatly go mad if i had to have mickey on all day - not that it takes much at the moment....

anyone know of any cool places in south london to go? i've kind of organised (well got it in people's diaries) a girls night out tomorrow night and we're all around clapham and i am without inspiration of where to go.

on a good note both jacob and sam are asleep now so i am going to go and nap

and the au pair seems to be working out well although she has had to put up with dreadful weather since she got here!

o'h and 2 of our radiators that are about 3 months old have to be replaced as they were put together incorrectly and can't be changed so dh is happy to waste (imo) about 700 quid getting them changed, when you can't even notice if they are wrong

o'h and anyone with any knowledge of hong kong and the really best areas to live??? looks lie we will be out there easter next year!

ceebee74 · 10/07/2008 20:43

Flick - no, my scan is tomorrow morning. Will probably not be able to get on MN until later afternoon/evening but will let you know how it goes as soon as I can (and whether it is blue or pink obviously ).

Happy birthday!!!!

To all the july babies, again! I hope those who have had birthdays had a great time, and those who are due, have a great time too!

Bella enjoyed herself, she had two, one real birthday, on the beach, and one birthday party day, meant to be outdoors but it rained, of course it did! So we had a million people at our place, and it was great! It is my birthday on saturday and Bella thinks it is her birthday again, and she has no got the hang of present opening! And her favourite word is currently 2!!!

Love to everyone xxx

Pavlovthecat · 10/07/2008 23:40

Wallace · 11/07/2008 08:31

CB read your other thread! But I'll wait for you to reveal all to the others!!

Have a lovely weekend, all, specially you HC, with the PILs... in a caravan... just hope you have lots of BH on board!

Ok - will share now (even though I am meant to be working )

Scan was ok - baby is pretty much ok but there is an issue with it's bowel so I have to go for a more detailed scan next Wednesday and should find out more about what it could be then - am trying not to worry about it.

But, everything else was fine with the baby and the sex was very clear...................another boy - yeah!! Am so pleased as both me and DH wanted another boy and am sure Josh will love having a brother

PixelHerder · 11/07/2008 20:08

Wow Ceebee a boy !!! Two little boys, awwwwwww - so pleased for you . Sorry you have to wait for the follow up scan, fingers crossed it's nothing to worry about and they're just being over-cautious xx

Hope everyone's well - gotta dash now as dinner's ready but will get back in a bit

Wallace · 11/07/2008 21:07

Yey CB, another little boy Positive thoughts for wednesday xxx

TheGoddessBlossom · 11/07/2008 21:23

CB big congrats on another Blue one, biassed of course but two boys is really marve.

thefortbuilder · 12/07/2008 20:55

cb - thinking of you also for wednesday - and yay for another boy - I'm with bloss totally biased but 2 boys is great!

on another note had a girls night out last night and way too much to drink - don't remember getting home, threw up, don't remember getting to bed, apparently could barely speak.....dh not too happy with me - but there were girls worse off than me!
