Hello all! Another week has flown by without the time for MNet - arghhh! Everytime I sit down to have a catch up, DH collars me to go on his Facebook for him! Sometimes I wish there were more hours in the day! Lots seems to have happened this week, DH and DS1 now need glasses for close work and I need stronger ones for the same (a very dear trip to the opticians as you can imagine), DS1 typically picked the most expensive pair he could find although they are quite funky so hopefully he will wear them when he needs to. Evie has almost mastered crawling, she does a mean forwards commando-style crawl and is having a good go at a real crawl too, can't quite get her arms and legs to go in the right order yet though! Also DH had an interview on Friday for a job doing maintenance at an airport, job sounds fab and money is great, he's got to go for a second interview once all the security checks are complete and hopefully he'll get it but I'm not counting chickens just yet.
Anyway, enough about me, how are you guys?
Skid, am very impressed that you managed to express 2 9oz bottles! I never managed more than 3 oz in one go! Would be interested to know how much DD takes each feed. You are right about the babies being at such a yummy age at the moment, I could just eat Evie she is so cute and such a little person now!
Clairey, love your extreme babywearing photo! Hope your move has gone well today and Yay! for DS self-settling in his cot, hope he keeps it up!
Caz for your period, mine has not arrived yet and am not looking forward to it, I am assuming it will arrive once I stop BFing but am always very very irregular anyway. Is DD doing any better in her cot? Hope the return to work isn't too bad, I can just imagine how bad you feel, I go back 2 evenings in September and am dreading it already. Hoping DH gets the good job and then I won't need to as I have a little typing job from home now, unfortunately it doesn't pay enough at the moment to quit the supermarket.
Fifi at your hols, hope you have a fab time! Glad that Ethan is fine now, hope the Nystatin is working - I had the cream while pg and it was great, gently did the job IYKWIM.
Suey, hope you have good hols too, sorry to hear about your fibroids, hope the scan goes well when you get back x
JewelsandGems, how are you? Did you test yet? Hopefully you are just irregular at the moment. Are you still bfing? I am and am taking the mini-pill as I do not want to be pg again. Oh, and I have a little sock puller too, she always looks so pleased when she gets one off! Looking forward to seeing how she manages when she's back in tights...
Wizz, hope you had a good weekend and it was not too crowded!
BT, glad you had a good time in Scotland, am still very ! Bless Daniel missing you! I popped to town the other day while Evie was sleeping and was a bit long, when I got back she was happily playing with DH, wasn't at all bothered that I wasn't there when she woke! Would almost be offended if she wasn't so cute, afterall I am the only one who has ever fed her, dressed her, changed her nappy etc... . Mind you, she was playing on the floor today and I sat down near her and she twisted round and lifted her arms to me [heart melting emoction] and she won't let DH feed her!
Clara, Happy Birthday for Wednesday, am glad it turned out to be nice for you! Also glad that you are settling in well despite the heat, will it cool down soon or does the Summer stretch into Autumn in Pakistan? Sorry to hear DD1 is still tantrumming, I doubt the move and heat and everything has helped but speaking from experience I am sure it would still be a problem if you had stayed in Britain.
Mellymooks, hiya! Great to hear from you! I too find it hard to keep up with everything in RL and MNet too (hence my once-a-week posts).
Hi Lizzer! Beanster, at your cleaner (although I would be the type to clean before the cleaner arrived). I have given up on DDs afternoon bottle too after DH suggested she may be refusing because she is not hungry... it makes sense as she was also refusing her tea. Now she is loving her tea again and seems more than happy with only 3 milk feeds a day (especially as they are all BFs). Will tackle the bottle issue again once back from hols (legoland!) but perhaps just stick with a cup.
Cazzy, glad you had a good hols! Can't believe your Evie is climbing the stairs! Mine is just starting to master pulling herself up onto her knees to get the toys in her toy basket and can climb all over me proficiently - it's scary how quickly she's learning new things!
Right, off to nose on Facebook for a while before DH comes home and takes over!
