heya all. v nice to have you back online leesmum? hope you're enjoying the sportathon that summer has quickly become. how was laptop-less life? i would have gone stirfry within a matter of hours. congrats on the tooth! i love a baby with a tooth, they look so sweet.
sarah, glad you've found an alternative nursery. and a nice early bedtime seems like as good a way to celebrate an anniversary as any other.
omy - wd on going back to work. would it be terribly cheeky to start a book on when the hall will get painted ? i remember reading a MN thread about a couple with a newborn who'd decided that mum'd go back to work and dad stay at home. apparently dad was going to make a kit car with his spare time.
countto10 - 1lb a week is v impressive, and am that you've lowered your target weight. dont you love that moment when period returns and the crotchyness can be written off as hormones.
mitfords and all the other elimination communication researchers - lol i looked that up too! have seen it discussed on the nappy threads but i think the motivation there was environmental rather than early potty training and understanding your baby better. saying that, i can think of few things more enjoyable than watching the sweet-but-quite-bonkers look on dd's face when she poos. i think its when i love her the most! its like every poo is her first .
hiya sally - hope the chickenpox stays well at bay. think our lo's just a bit too young at the moment, tho' know a couple of my mums friends who would disagree... but then they probably think that internet parenting sites shouldnt be the primary source of info on bringing up babies ;-)
lucy - does sudocreme help with biro-rash?? or at least help wipe clean it off..
gill - ty for bean update. and yes 4.9lbs is 4lb. i only look at the pounds not the ounces... but that's partly cause the metric maths does my head in if i think too hard about it.
all ok here. tis dh's last day of work til sept. cant believe we are going to have the best part of two months together not working. bliss!
anyone else's lo's having a bit of trouble sleeping? maybe it's the weather but dd crying quite a lot when put down and last night was properly awake for hours. hmmmm... feel kind of downbeat and tired myself. my neck and base of skull feel swollen and its making me grumpy and v sleepy. was planning my first night on the lash tonight with old colleagues. feel like giving it a miss now. not sure i have anything to say to anyone and also there is zero chance of me looking ok. plus could take the cash for drinks and use it to top up top shop vouchers and go shopping tomo (oooh rozzy took your tip and tried on clothes in new look yesterday with a perplexed dd lying on floor). do you know the only thing that is vaguely motivating me to go out is that i'm not sure its making dh fancy me anymore with me housebound and slightly low. kind of want to prove to him i can still be a normal integrated person. ah, feck, i'm chatting real nonesene now. time to face the laundry methinks. have a nice day all
