Am I first? Couldn't think of what to call it....

VS - I think she is hungrier, yes, I tried giving more milk, which helped, but then yesterday she spurned more milk for more food (I guess she can't take both) and she did sleep better last night. Woke once at 5.30 for drink water and then 6.30 properly. She is never hungry for her breakfast til about 8 though - does anyone else have this? Should I stop giving a ten o clock feed?

Ladybee, he is the most beautiful little boy! You have to frame that builder's bum one.

Now off to stalk knitter on FB.

And the rest of you ladies, where are they pics?? I want snow pics. Lots of snow pics. Please.

SalLikesCoffee · 04/02/2009 22:34

Where are everyone tonight? Off to bed now, night all (if anyone's around later that is - don't normally talk to myself, honest!)

LadyBee · 04/02/2009 22:58

oh no! I wander off to look at other threads and miss people!
Thanks, I think he's gorgeous but am slightly biased

I've been in a rubbish mood all day. Keep hoping I'm premenstrual. I know this is ridiculous to keep wishing period would return, am sure when it does I'll be wishing it away, I'm just starting to panic that it won't at all. ever.

chipmonkey · 05/02/2009 00:24

LadyBee, I love the one where he's eyeing the pint!

VictorianSqualor · 05/02/2009 07:10

OMG. LOTS of snow

Peachy · 05/02/2009 08:26

Oi Sal! He'snot the most beautiful boy- he's joint in gorgeousness (at ten out of ten obv) with all the toher April boys!

Now don't you be starting boy warfare on here my girl .

Loads of snow here too, school has closed for (at a guess) first time since they opened in 1747, Head sounded mighty pissed off on phone.

KnitterInTheNW · 05/02/2009 08:45

We've got a sprinkling of snow. I feel like I'm seriously missing out on snowman making!

Soph73 · 05/02/2009 09:04

Morning all.

Stop talking about snow It's nice and clear here today. Don't know how long it'll last mind you as the weather here's been crappy recently.

Sam tried to launch himself out of his swing last night. He threw himself sideways as the swing went backwards then nearly got himself decapitated when it swung forward again. He's got a red mark under his chin where he got stuck. In one way it was quite nice to see that he's now trying to get places independently, however, not nice for DH trying to get him out of the swing without doing further damage!! When I say swing it's one of those automatic ones that stands on the floor & has music and lights.

Well, DH has finally handed his application letter & CV to the Head. Now it's just wait & see. I gingerly bought up the idea of me working less hours if he gets the job & that got knocked on the head very swiftly I know we need to save money as loads of work needs doing on the house, but we would be able to afford cutting my hours back a wee bit. Will definately have to keep working on that one

Soph73 · 05/02/2009 09:06

Forgot to say, DH also made a strange comment about maternity clothes & baby stuff last night. Maybe he is beginning to think about having another baby if he gets this job. On the other hand it's probably me reading too much into things & wishful thinking

VictorianSqualor · 05/02/2009 10:17

OOOH!!
Hope he is Soph

snow here this morning, it's now pouring down with even more snow.

I wanted to go shopping

VictorianSqualor · 05/02/2009 10:18

oops
snow

Soph73 · 05/02/2009 10:26

Hi VS. Blinkin' puter won't let me open your link - bah!

I never want to go shopping. I hate it with a vengeance and nearly always talk DH into going instead

Peachy · 05/02/2009 10:27

VS there's a problem with your picture- it is copmpletely lacking in tiny footprints LOL!

I have to go shopping tomorrow regardless, nothing to eat at all after tonight. I ahd booked a Sainsboro delivery but they cncelled all until Sunday. TREALLY want the snow to last until tonight so DH can play with the boys (unlikely to happen I'll guess) though.

Ah well at least our car can sope pretty well- DH said he was the only one not to skid out of the car park after work this morning (and they ahd real problems last night- one bloke refused to come in coz his car wouldnt move...... he lived NEXT DOOR pmsl!

Soph73 · 05/02/2009 11:01

Favourite time of the day now. No students in library for the next hour & 10 mins - bliss. Am also going to raid the canteen ask nicely for a chip butty in a mo Hopefully the chef's in a good mood, if he's not I'll get kicked out!

Chip day, chip day, hooray

LadyBee · 05/02/2009 11:06

Soph every Thursday you let me know it's chip day, and every thursday I wonder whether I can bring myself to cook chips for my lunch and never have, but today I am going to.
After being at home for days on end (forever and ever, at least it feels like it) I was sooo jealous of DS going off with childminder to playgroup..he's getting some company and fun and I have stay here in my house working. bah.
Chips will make this better, even if bad for my slowly increasing again waistline.
So what did you DH say about mat. clothes?
My DP has been broody for ages, as am I but am determined to hold off. I know I said I want period back, but that's just so I know I have the possibility of conceiving IYSWIM.

ScorpiowithabigS · 05/02/2009 11:31

ooooh more babies for Soph!

and at chips, though not very hungry lately. Am having soup today [exciting]

VictorianSqualor · 05/02/2009 11:43

That picture was before I let them out.

Just bought Alex his first pair of wellies! SOOOO cute!Being shown the snow by Ella

Soph, I'll upload it to my profile too.

Peachy · 05/02/2009 11:46

Awwww! Bas has feet too small fors hoes so I won't bother but he has sat in his highchair watching it come down and been out in it, not too interested TBH

EllieG · 05/02/2009 11:56

Oh oh oh look at little Alex in his wellies!!!! Cute!

Aren't our babies lovely? I think we might have the best-looking antenatal group on MN. Maybe ever.

Went to swimming class this morning with Molly - she loves it and so do I. Good thing is have found out they run one on a sat morning so as long as I get my name down early enough I can still go with her when I get back to work yey!

VS - incidentally, my mate with the bf probs came over yesterday and she is feeling much stronger and resisting topping up with ff too much and just feeding and feeding and feeding as much as possible to get supply going. And her little lass is doing fine so that's good innit?

We need to start a new thread soon ladies, and since I started the last one is someone else's turn now

Soph73 · 05/02/2009 11:58

LadyBee - well it was along the lines of getting them back from someone I've just given them too, or needing them again. Something like that anyway. Because I wasn't expecting him to say anything like that and wasn't really listening I sort of wondered whether I'd heard properly IYSWIM.

Am pleased it's not just me with the ever expanding waistline

VS - those wellies are adorable. He doesn't look too impressed with the snow though does he?

Sam won't let you put shoes on him. He curls his toes up really tight and there's no way you can get his feet in. It's a shame because my friend gave me a lovely pair of suede boots for him. Had to give them to other friend who's expecting

ScorpiowithabigS · 05/02/2009 12:02

Ellie check your email please

Soph73 · 05/02/2009 12:03

Ellie - completely agree, best looking lot ever Good news about swimming. I loved taking DS1 when he was little. He now does proper "big boy" classes Will probably wait until the summer before I take Sam. Hopefully he'll be well enough by then.

Soph73 · 05/02/2009 12:06

Here we are then, new thread

EllieG · 05/02/2009 12:07
