Erm yeah Filly. When was you thinking?

Lol at Simpson scooting round the house on ds wheelybug which one did you get ?

Gingeme how do you find space you must be ultra organised!!

Filly Lucky was in right place at right time was getting scarily close to loosing everyone again!
Feel free to put your suggestions forward for next one sure we could decide in the next 850 posts

Countess nice to see you popping back in don't worry bout keeping up nice to hear about ds sounds like dd

Well Martha is crying in bed as she was allowed a late sleep so is in protest i think ! Just went up to settle her and she had got out of her grobag What is it with her ? I did bath tonight as dp out and she can climb fully out of bath seat set's my nerves on edge!
Will be grey before i am 31 which is tom (shameless birthday plug )

you finished having fun yet simpson?

have had a yummy chinese and now having a glass of chilled white to cheer myself up for having a day that started at 4am. (3.56 to be precise!)
dh texted me and told me to so i don't feel too guilty

he's coming home later tonight to help with tomorrow morning - he doesn't normally come home on a tues so will be a bit weird.
managed a nap this morning after dropping ds1 at nursery - 1.5hrs to be woken by doorbell - babysitter too ill to do tonight - orchestra - could have tried to find someone else but figured an early night was more important. though we have a concert coming up and i need the practice

right, going to finish wine, then take laptop to bed

LADIES

here please?

Got Ds the lady bird one, it looks fab!! He is going to love it

Treating myself to a glass of wine here too!!

Lilyloo - how on earth did she get out of her gro bag??

no wine is so having a cup of tea and dunking biscuits instead !

Simpson who knows i think she stands on the bottom of it and rocks on the cot and manages to stretch it so press studs pop and then climbs out of it! She has been sent to test me i think

happy birthday lily for tomorrow. 31? spring chicken

what model grobag do you use? the 'official' grobags for 6 months and above have no shoulder poppers for precisely this reason. they have only a zip around and you need to stick arms through holes. may be worth it, I get mine second hand from ebay, usually fine.

Nathan will ahve a weeliebug for his baptism/birthday, my parents asked me to get him something solid for them and I have wanted one for ages.

taken Nathan out for a long walk this afternoon, hoping for a better night.

LOL what an escape artist Martha is I have sleeping bag with poppers on sholder too think its from mothercare.

Madmouse - wheely bug looks really solid (has to be to take me on it!!)Definately a lovely present and then Nathan can pass it down to a brother or sister

Lucky - Sorry no cats for us, DH got real phobia.

DH has been off his evening medication for a week now but tonight he says he feels a bit agitated

Grrr simpsons DH!!

His whole family are scared of cats and actively run away from them when they see one. DS is starting to pick up on it and not like them either

'm trying my hardest to hide me fear of earwigs and hights from DD but I think she's noticed - although so far she just laughs at me when I spot an earwig and yell DH at the top of my voice!! lol

Thanks MM don't feel at all spring like
I have a mamas and papas one that matches all her bedding.
Looks like we getting new highchair and grobag (the straight jacket is surely cheaper)

Love the wheelybugs def a pres for next year i think.

Simpson oh no can he go back on a reduced dose ?

Ladies can anyone help here for ds

Don't know what tablet he was on in the evening before but he couldn't take it for too long, its like valium. He has about 10 left so he has taken one...

Has a counciling session on 24th Nov so hopefully they will help. He copes with everything fine but I think work is a bit stressful ATM (shiftwork)

Lilyloo - I would have another chat with DS in the morning and see what he says then...tell him he doesn't have to do it if he doesn't want to but teacher must have thought he was good otherwise she would not have asked him, you are very proud of him what ever he does etc.

hello new thread and old faces! that list provokes a lot of nostalgia. Mainly everyone sprogging through last January while I was waiting... and waiting... and waiting!

Nathan has woken three times already since 8pm. All he wants is to be picked up then stick his head in my neck and fall asleep instantly. wonder what that is all about. he does not even try to feed and is apparently not in any discomfort. I wonder if it is just him needing extra security atm, having just made the trip to Holland and doing all these big things like all fours and sitting? Any ideas? Hope he does not keep it up or I may as well not go to bed.

And there was me thinking that there wasn?t much to catch up on today?.

I?ve added my baby to the list

LaTrucha - DD 1st JAn (Sabela)
Kelix DD 15th Jan (name?)
LuckySalem DD 16th Jan (Aaliyah)

Angechica DS 29th Jan (Alek)
Madmouse DS 1st Feb (Nathan)

Lilyloo ? happy birthday for tomorrow can?t believe the mischief your DD can get up to! No advice just sympathy on the DS front

Lucky ? glad to hear you are feeling better and hope DD doesn?t suffer much more that?s a lovely memory about the box train just shows you that kids aren?t materialistic (well not till later anyway!) I hadn?t realised how late your DD was! Were they keen to induce you? DS was 9 days late and they were putting me under quite a bit of pressure.

Simpson ? I?ve got a few things for DS?s stocking; blowing bubbles, some eBay bargains : vetch phone, vetch camera & 3 cars that fit together, some socks and some balloons. Enjoy your shot on the wheely bug that?s hilarious about the potty training and the raisins! Love that key! sorry to hear DH doesn?t feel too great tonight.

Gingeme ? wow, very busy DC with you last night, hope DH got home ok. I?m guilty of reading down the old list for name inspiration for B2! gorgeous pics!

Hey Kelix long time to see! Hope you and DD feel better soon

JKS ? glad it was a better night but oh my still an early morning. It is nostalgic to see that list, I used to keep a copy in my diary and tick the babies off as they arrived ? until mine did and I never had a moment again! wonder where so many of those ladies have gone? Bet you enjoyed that nap!

LaT ? good luck waiting to test, bet you don?t wait though

Hey Madmouse ? sorry you had a bad night

Hey Countess lovely to hear from you too!

Laura haven?t heard from her at all I still owe her a coffee too and have done for almost a year now! didn?t we meet at the end of Nov last year??

Hey Angechica

Mrs Mcjnr - Bubbles/balloons - thank you will fit into stocking perfectly!!!

Madmouse - sorry nathan waking up so much but is probably because you are home....wants to know where you are etc. Poor you No help, sorry.

Ugh. This getting up at 5am is getting tome. THanks for tip Lucky, but she won't play by herself. I'm not sure why I'm so shattered really. I did have 7 hours sleep.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIMPSON! How is DH today?

Lilyloo- sorry no advice with DS. How is he today?

MrsMc- cheeky! Actually, I have no idea when I could test as I haven't had a period for 19 months!

Gingeme - adorable pics.

Ange - how is Alex sleeping.

MM - hope you got sleep. Ditto for JKS and LILY.

HELLO COUNTESS AND KELIX!

Filly - interesting about age gap. Was that intentional?

Lucky - good luck with cats.

Sabela managed to get round me this morning by being super cute. She was sitting on my bed and unbeknownst to me had done a poo. She looked at me and pulled the collar of her sleep suit and when I said, 'o dear, are you too hot?' pointed at the leg of the sleepsuit, as if to say, 'this needs to come off.' What a helpful girl!

Lord. Brain is mush!

Lucky - Princess is gorgeous!

Happy Birthday Lilyloo

LaT - how can you NOT test? i would so want to know!

right, ds2 napping, ds1 at pre-school, i really must get jobs done this morning.
(dh home late last night so he got up at 5.38 with ds1, then got ds2 when he woke later, and brought me breakfast and tea in bed )

back later...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILYLOO! (I would write it bigger if I knew how)

JKS - I'm only not testing because I think it's too early to have a result. THE day would have been Nov 9th. What do you think? Still feeling sick as a dog on and off every day. Also knackered in that 'not just tired, someone actually pulled the plug' kind of a way I'm sure we all remember well. Though not all the time.

You're probably right, it's a bit early. Maybe this weekend?

I was thinking around the 23rd too. Still probbaly a bit early but I know I'm not going to be able to wait. MrsMc is right!
