FAB news SOL

Maveta J is in a bed, M was in his before he was a year old so when J started climbing out of his cot (travel cot really, he hates the bars in a cot so I just bought a proper mattress for the travel cot) I put him straight into a bed.

I love the name Iris Elizabeth Leaky, I have an aunt Iris and my middle name is Elizabeth so I may be a little biased

SOL

Iris Elizabeth is nice but I'm not sure about Iris Elizabeth Leaky. Don't think Leaky really goes iyswim

Off to bed in a sec, incredibly tired and have already slept for an hour this evening!

Northernlurker · 13/01/2009 23:06

hmmmm SPB - you're incredibly tired? I do wonder why that is?

Lovely names Leaky - I especially like Iris. Elizabeth is an excellent middle name too

Ok off to bed now

CaptainDippy · 14/01/2009 07:41

Nipping in to see if SOL has posted and she has - wonderful news Hope Chemo goes straightforwardly. xx

Iris is a girl's name is I completely loved and DH hated so do use it Leaky Have to agree, love Iris and love ELizabeth - not sure how well they "flow"; but loving them both Freddie Joesph is cute [smile

Right, P woken up, gotta buzzzzzz

CaptainDippy · 14/01/2009 07:43

Actually, I've just been rolling Iris Elizabeth off the tongue and actually, I think it does "flow". Actually I really like it

Bramshott · 14/01/2009 09:31

Great news SOL, hope this is the start of good things to come!

cazboldy · 14/01/2009 10:50

wonderful news SOL

Loving your nmes Leky........ I couldn't use Freddie, s my db told me he hs reserved it for his son....... (which hs not even been conceived yet)

MJreturns · 14/01/2009 11:00

Morning!

Leaky, those names are gorgeous. Iris Elizabeth is so pretty, and goes really well with your surname (which I know from FB, not from being a weirdo stalker!). Freddie is just so cute for a boy, fab choices!

SOL, hope you got a cough free night last night. F actually slept through last night, first night in a while for her so I do feel a bit brighter and more rested today!

Dh worked until the early hours of this morning and has just gone back into work. They need him to do a bit of the job during the day today, but will still pay him his extra night rate and he won't have to go in tonight either. Will actually be a bit odd with him around this evening!

CaptainDippy · 14/01/2009 11:12

Enjoy it MJ

oooggs · 14/01/2009 11:14

great names Leaky

I'm still here and how well I feel on such little sleep (insominia + Jack)

just been tile shopping for the loft bathroom

CaptainDippy · 14/01/2009 11:34

Still in one piece then ooooggs!!? today is the date I guessed, so if you could just hurry along and have your enormous baby, that would be appreciated. thank you.

MJreturns · 14/01/2009 11:46

Lol CD

oooggs · 14/01/2009 11:48

yes today would be good I am worried that he is going to be huge if he doesn't arrive soon

CaptainDippy · 14/01/2009 12:10

HURRY UP!!!

cazboldy · 14/01/2009 14:31

I am now in possession of a fully functioning keyboard

Bramshott · 14/01/2009 14:46

Ohhhh Eddas - I've just looked at your gorgeous picture of G in her school uniform on Facebook! She looks soo excited, and soo grown up! How is it that they look at least twice the age in school clothes than in Disney dressing up clothes?!?

N is 6 today ! So 6 years ago I was sitting in the hospital thinking "what the hell just happened to my life?!"

cazboldy · 14/01/2009 16:06

Bramshott - i remember that feeling well

Happy Birthday N xx

MJreturns · 14/01/2009 16:10

Happy Birthday N! Hope you have had a lovely day. Bet you can't believe she is 6 Bramshott. Ds will be 6 in May and I can honestly say that the last 6 years have gone too quickly!

StealthPo09IsHere · 14/01/2009 17:37

hi everyone
wow so today is the day oooggs?
BTW I like Iris Elizabeth a lot, it was the 'Leaky' I was complaining about - think she'd get teased

Northernlurker · 14/01/2009 18:33

Bramshott - you wait till she gets to double figures. M will be 11 this year!!! Where did that decade go? Actually I think R being 8 in a week or so is even more freaky because I do still think of her as the baby - even though I also have my baby baby I don't know what I'll be like when B starts school - richer obviously - but that's going to be quite a moment! Of course M will be nearly 14 by then and she will be 20 when B starts secondary and 27 when she leaves and then if B goes to uni and does a three year course M will be 30 when she leaves and R will be 27 and I will be........no let's not go there!

runnyhabbit · 14/01/2009 18:39

Evening all

I'm loving my laptop It means that I can MN while the boys play

Leaky - Very pretty girls name. Freddie reminds me of my grandad. What about Edward? Maybe shorten to Woody, or Ed? Also like Nicholas (nothing to do with it being dh name though)

MJ - good to see you fancy meeting up after school one day?

Found out that the MD wanted to get rid of all part time staff in with the last lot of redundancies All being a total of 2 - me and an other woman. Apparently my boss (and another manager) really fought my corner, and told him that I was def one member of staff worth keeping. Quite about it, but the MD agreement was that I have to increase my hours. Just hope I don't let my boss down.

SOL - fab news about your mum xxx

best go and get the tearaways boys ready for bath and bed

x

runnyhabbit · 14/01/2009 18:41

NL - It's not so much the boys growing up that makes me .....
.....it's more to do with how old I'll be

although dh is getting very very broody

Sexonlegs · 14/01/2009 19:53

Evening all.

Happy Birthday N, although I guess you will be tucked up in bed by now??

Oooggs, I guessed today as well - come on!!!!

Hi Runny, sounds like you are a star member of staff - good on you.

Hi MJ

Leaky, Iris Elizabeth is lovely. Mine and K's middle name is Elizabeth!

Brain emptied.

K has been a pita today - I thnk she just gets really tired from nursery on a Tuesday and then Wednesday is a nightmare. B had a friend round for tea after school which went well - no pooing in the bath episodes this time!

Right, need to finish dinner, but back on later as dh is away tonight. xx

oooggs · 14/01/2009 19:59

I wish this baby would bloody hurry up

StealthPo09IsHere · 14/01/2009 20:12

Poor oooggs
