May 2008 Babies....food glorious food....hot sausage and mustard!!!

[LuckyPumpkin74]

New thread as it's Nov so our babies are all hitting 6 months!

That would be

OMG, my bloody coil just fell out !!!!

Luckily I saw it, it 'landed' on the wall in the bathroom (sorry if this is TMI ). Had it just fallen down the loo, I wouldn't have noticed as I didn't feel a thing....and I could have got pregnant again !!!! (so not in my plan).

Strangely, I feel very relieved. I didn't 100% trust it anyway, and a lot of people have said they can give you bad PMT, so I'm glad the wretched thing is out.....

and...without having to waste my GPs time too

Glad you noticed gooddays! I wonder who will be next to add a sibling?! I'm feeling all queasy and rubbish at the mo due to my antibiotics but I keep panicking that it feels like the first trimester! Fear not, we have been very very careful but I am the girl who got pregnant on the pill (I didn't muck up, honest, I must just be that 1%!)

Oh and I wouldnt worry too much about your friends, I think DP and I were very like that until not long ago and now we're a lot more pro-routines! They'll work it out too.

and yes serious it is all worth it. Unfair but defintely worth it

We tried DS2 with pear today and he really seemed to like it, Sweet potatoe didn't go down very well. So I think I have a fussy child on my hands, hopefully he will get better as he gets older. He was 6 months yesterday. Can't believe where the time has gone. And 42 days till Christmas. DH goes on saturday and will be away for 20 days. God that sounds like forever.

GDABD didn't realise that they could fall out. Not that I know much about them. I can recommend the implant, I have been the lucky ones and not had (TMI) the continuous bleeding which can be a side effect.

Serious Sorry that you are having a rubbish time with Ebay buyers. Are you still doing the job? Or are you talking about another job you applied for?

Baiyu I didn't know that about Income Support

Mumofkandj enjoy your holiday with the family

GDABD Hope you have a wonderful time with the girls. You too Denny and thanks for the red cabbage info.

Babylove I have joined too

Gingerwench I also found DS2 could straighten his back and looks like he would fall out of the Bumbo. DS1 never did that so it must just be some babies.

Grrrr! trying to sell DDs nursery set on ebay, got bloody 5 people watching it and not one bid with 5 mins to go.

It didn't sell . I hate that, when people are watching it and lull you into thinking you will sell it !

Goodnight fellow FMLs

LM xxxx

Must go......tesco totty weekend starts in less than 2.5 hrs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a good weekend all. Will miss you.

LM xxx

Have a lovely time GDABD serious do you really need to go back to work? If you'd rather not, can you manage without going back? I'm kinda wishing I hadn't gone back, but needs must and besides, I have my escape plan!

I'm very envious of the baby cinema...no such thing in Spain.

Still on my (not very strict) diet. Don't know how much I weigh (too much), suppose I should weigh myself so I know how bad things are and then i can see if I lose any. My plan is just to eat helthier and stop eating crap all day.

It's a lovely day here, a friend's coming later and we're going out for breakfast so I'm looking forward to that.

DS nearly crawling but still no sitting without falling over withing about 4 seconds. Are all your LOs sitting unsupported?

macaco nope, Finn has no interest in sitting. He loves standing holding our hamds or holding on to something (with arms to catch just behind!) but he doesn't seem bothered about sitting.

Macaco - No, I don't suppose I need to go back to work, but I am really struggling with not having my own money and feel quite responsible for paying my own way. DH says he doesn't mind what I spend, but I know that he does (or disagrees with what I want to buy IYSWIM)

DS is rolling like a little rolly thing today and sitting up.. He's been nearly doing it for weeks and today it's just like BAM... So proud of my little munchkin!!!

TSO xx

macaco yes DS sits unsupported for up to ten mins before he keels over front, sideways or backwards but he needs us to put him a seated position, he can't get there himself. He will practice rolling if lying on our stomachs and launching himself off, but no attempts at rolling otherwise

DS isn't sitting yet either. He loves to stand with someone holding him and that seems to please him.

Have a fab weekend to all who are getting away!!

Well DS rolls all over the place all day long. he's really speedy but by the nature of rolling is inclined to bump his head a lot so we have cushions round the walls. It's quite hard work as, being a spanish house, all the floors are marble, so cold and hard for his head to come down against. i cannot leave him alone on the rug for a second cos he'll be off it and smack his head.
He's really trying to crawl and can get up on hands and knees momentarily but can't really move forward.
Just watched an episode of ER (I'm waaaaay behind so don't tell me anything about plots if you watch it....Gallant's only just died)
And I loooooove it. i think that and Law and Order are my faves. DS is napping so I even got to watch it in peace!
I think we'll go for a little walk later as he is obsesses with being pushed round the park at the mo, he loves it. But we can't stop or he cries!

Macaco my lo is not sitting yet. she doesnt roll. In fact she hates being put on her front, the only time she lifts her self onto her hands is to scream and then she throws her face back into the floor. She loves lying on the sofa (don't tell the HV), she will lie there for ages with a blankie and her fav toy, sucking her fingers.
Her most Fav thing in the world is her fisher price jumperoo. I was worried when i bought it ( ebay bargain £45). The lady selling it said her son didnt like it so it had very little use at all. But she gets so excited. I think its because it makes her feel mobile, she doesnt fall over and toys are fixed so nothing rolls out of reach! Definately my best ever buy.

GDABD have a great time away and dont forget to bring photos back, you could post them on the yahoo group

I have bought a selection of baby food today, including the heinz dried food. So tonight she had 3 mouthfuls of the broccoli cauliflower and cheese.

bayiu i'm worried if i go back to work my earnings will just replace the working tax credit my dp claims for us both. Plus there is the childcare costs. I am a driving instructor but i just don't see how i can do that and cover childcare, the hours are too unsociable. But i am enjoying this early months with dd. I just hate having to ask for money all the time and then justifying what i need thats like saying i need to buy dd the xmas pudding babygro in boots.

Just read your last post Macaco, i have a picture of the spanish A&E full of young babies with head wounds from marble floors. Spose a playpen would be good.

I'm so excited i just wanted to share this with you. Today for breakfast my lo ate half a pot of bebivita apple and pear fruit pot!

Well done on the food babylove, you must be thrilled! She obviously wasn't much in the mood before. Soon enough she'll be wolfing all sorts down.
I haven't really got room for a playpen and he likes moving around so don't think he'd like it. I think it'll be easier when he's properly crawling as he won't be crashing his head down like he does when he's rolling. DS rolled all the way over once and then nothing for weeks so it can all happen almost from nowhere.

hmm well it was one step forward and two back with the food. Tea time didnt go so well and she cried after the second mouthful, this time it was potato cheese pasta bake. Mydp went out tonight so i decided she could stay up a bit later. She has been grizzly all afternoon and everything i have done has made her happy but for just 5 mins, then its grizzle again.
So having deprived her of porridge i decided if porridge would make her contented again then so be it. She had a small cup full of porridge and ate the lot ( hand sign for all gone, i made my own with hands in the air lol) She went to bed happy. Babies are so funny sometimes.

I guess its lots of cushions in your home with those floors Macaco, your home must be beautiful marble is very smart. Oh and the sunshine, you lucky devil. Where in spain are you?

Yep, rugs and cushions all over the place! It does look nice but very cold in winter and Spanish houses aren't centrally heated and despite what everyone thinks it does get cold in winter here. I live in Seville and it can get down to about 4 or 5 degrees in winter, which is cold with no heating. Lovely sun today though and the leaves on the trees are changing colour.

A question? what's all this about baby signing? Is it sign language, as in for the deaf? Excuse my total ignorance but why are people teaching their babies to sign? I've never heard of it except here on this thread and wondered what it was all about.

Hi Macaco Yes, baby signing is using sign language to help children to communicate.

I tried it for a while, but DS wasn't at all bothered. We still use some basic ones - milk, nappy, tired, sleep, mummy, daddy, but we don't go to the classes anymore.

The weekend is not going well.

Oh dear serious what's up? DH in a mood?

Yep... DH's ex is being a right royal pain so the kids are upset cos she is being horible to them, we have MIL here and DH isn't speaking, so it's just a bundle of laughs here... Thankfully MIL is lovely.

Plus I have two days 'in the office' tomorrow and Tuesday so MIL is going to look after DS, but haven't ever left DS before.... so feeling a bit unsure about the whole thing...

Weaning is going well, though - DS had pumpkin for lunch, mixed with some apples as he has a bit of a sweet tooth, and it went down a treat!!!
Thanks for asking though, Macaco it's appreciated!!
