[TheLadyEvenstar]

ok lets try here ladies!!!

[Stefka]

Well I am still bloody ill - make it stop! I am meant to be on holiday ffs!

Dareh's fave game right now is farting. It's is kind of cute though, this morning he did a couple of farts and giggled and then tried to do another one and couldn't and cried and said 'gone'. Poor sausage.

He also banged his head badly today - got a lump on the back. Called the Dr but he thought he sounded fine. He was fine after about two mintues - I wasn't though!

Off to bed with my book. I am a sado reading the twilight books. Yes they are for teenagers. Yes I am totaly addicted.

[Dalrymps]

Morning Ladies

Just popping in to say

Stefka - Hope you feel better soon. Lol at Dareh farting

Inzi - Wow, thats loads, well done!!!

[NeedCoffee]

just posting quickly, can't remember what has been said properly.

Muppet/Dal sorry your Dad/parents are being arseholes, it amazes me the more i realise how selfish some people are.

Stefka pmsl @ the farting.

Inzi-thats bloody great, well done you!

FT-hope Alex is sleeping through every night, or at least most.
Crochet-sorry you're having such a rubbish time, with your eyes and M being poorly I really hope eveything improves asap for you

WWAJC-the twat heads! You're worth so much better than them, i hope a braziliant job that you'll love suddenly comes up-otherwise, why not set up on your own and start poaching their clients.

hi to everyone else, sorry to those i have missed, i've got a washer man coming this morning to replace my seal, Shannon is really whiny because she's tired after being at dd1s birthday party last night, then getting home and spewing everywhere grr, at the moment shes carrying a christmas card of a polar bear 'Cat' that she keeps kissing she took it out of dd1s bin, the tramp.

anyway, will try and get back on later xx

[alicet]

Muppet thanks for top flooring tips! And sorry your dad is being a twat. Big hugs and try to stay calm

Stefka enjoy the Easter hols! Sorry you've been poorly (know what you mean about getting ill when you have a break!) but fingers crossed it doesn't last long... Try not to worry about Dareh's (non)eating either - Adam has been a bit like this of late but I try to reassure myself that some days i am not that hungry either.

Inzi thanks for the warning about that film - I think I will avoid too. Having seen it advertised sometime back I thought it was one I would like to see but I can totally do without that sort of thing1 Not that I would ever enjoyed it pre-boys but I am totally hopeless now.

Floria wow at Alex and big boys pants!!! Thats great!

Crochet hello honey you have been missed! Amazed at M taking the inhalers by herself!!! Sorry to hear you've all been rough - hope things improve soon...

Dal glad your parents are keeping quiet - long may it last

LLL glad poo pit mended!

OK just got to the end of muppets post about her dad turning up at 9am and being a twat - got to go now as boys waking! Don't want to lose this post but will try and get back later to read rest and post our news (nothing exciting so don't hold your breath or anything)

Hi everyone, is this the official thread for Oct 07 mums. If so may I join you. My daughter was born the 28th 15 days after due date.

[Mine]

Hi Eva (love the name!)

This is the Oct 07 babies.. although they're not quite babies anymore

Grab a cup of tea, biscuits and take a seat... now tell us about your daughter...

I have an almost 18month old son, he is walking, getting up to mischief and is a general little monster. I'm not sure where to start to build a bit of a picture for you really, but he is adorable to say the least!!

I'll be back in a bit... must go prep dinner for DH cousin and their terrible 15month old twins. They invited themselves for dinner tonight, so now i have to cook a proper meal for 6 at short notice . I was planning on a takeaway tonight.

[EvaLongoria]

Hi Mine, thanks for responding. If only I looked like Eva, love her character and just love Desperate Housewives.

Like you, where do i start about her. Like you said they no longer babies anymore as much as I wanna say they are as they not 18 months yet. She is always getting up to mischief and I call her my monster as well most of the time but she is my princess. She is such a happy baby and always laughing. Lately bit naggy as finally got some more teeth through. Got 1st tooth at 10 months and 4th by 11 months and nothing since this month and they all came at the same time. So now she has about 10 but refuse to sleep at night, waking up. Now I am going through what some moms went through months ago. But still no reason to complain. She is so much fun and I love experiencing every little thing with her.

Let me not get carried away. Hope u enjoy ur dinner and house full of kids

[Mine]

Eva... she sounds like my little monster, although Eren so far is sleeping well (damn i bet i have jinks that!)

This is a great thread, so i hope you stay with us. The ladies here have been my sounding board for the last 2 years... ish!!

So what are you up to for Easter??

Its a bit of a non event around here... just the same kind of weekend as any really... shopping, eating.. more eating... oh and some more eating!!

Off to finish dinner. I'll be back later i hope when the terrible twins have gone

[alicet]

Inzu congrats on the weight loss!

WWAJC sorry to hear things are tough at work and fingers crossed it improves soon...

Eva welcome! We are a friendly bunch and you are very welcome! I have Adam who is my reason for being here (born on 2nd oct 2007) and also Sam who is a Feb 2006 little one.

Well not much here except we are on the verge of exchanging for our house sale and off to see a house we may rent tomorrow - fingers crossed it all works out as it seems pretty much exactly what we are looking for and is also near the new house which will be fab!

Off now for a quality night with dh - few and far between at the mo as he is away with work a lot at the mo....

[Stefka]

Welcome Eva!

Feeling a bit better today. Hopefully all clear tomorrow or the next day.

Dareh bit his tounge today - he keeps having accidents.

Good luck with the final stages of the house alice!

Mine that is so rude! Hope you coped with the extra cooking.

Ah it's not use - I have to go to bed. Night all.

[WhiteWineAndJaffaCakes]

Stefka - tee hee at Dareh with his farts. Glad you've been feeling better today.

Inzi - well done on weight loss - will you be in competition with dh now ?

NC - lol at Shannon kissing the polar bear.

Eva - hello and welcome. I have a dd Anya - she's very single-minded and wants to do everything herself without any help. She orders everybody about and gets very shouty if she doesn't get her own way. But she's also very cute and laughs a lot and at least she sleeps through most of the time.

Mine - at you suddenly having to cook for 6. I'd still get a take-away if I were you .

No plans for easter here either - I have to do some revision for an exam in a couple of weeks. We have got 8 tokens from Blockbuster to use though - probably because they've just closed our local one down and want us to at least try one of the others . So drugging Anya and lying comatose in front of dvds is always a possibility .

[WhiteWineAndJaffaCakes]

These bunny rabbits are soooo cute .

[Mine]

Inzi that is amazing!! Have you been out shopping for a new wardrobe yet???!! I would have been Well, you know what you can spend your winnings on now

well, dinner was fine. I made roast chicken with butternut squash and spinach frittata. Not a carb in sight!

The twins trashed my house though, so although i was fine with whipping up a meal for 6.... i ended up cleaning up after what looked like a herd of elephants had danced in my house. They trashed my kitchen, living room, broke some of DS toys.

They are cute though

[FloriaTosca]

HI All
Welcome Eva. I have Alex who was due in Oct (5th)but was induced because of my high blood pressure and so he is actually a Sept baby but I couldn't leave these lovely ladies who held my hand through a very turbulent time. He is a live wire who was walking at 8 months and only slept through for the first time last week..he drives me utterly demented but I absolutely adore him.

Alice; we are not holding our breath on the nickers front..he will usually oblige when we suggest the potty and can unbelievably stop mid flow when having an accident but he never actually asks ...so its still nappies when we go out. I do hope the rented house it all you desire and a very brief resort until your new house is ready.

Mine; well done rustling up dinner for 6 at such short notice. I know what your house must look like, we were at a playdate for 4 of Alexs compatriots the house we met at looked like a war zone after an hour!

WWAJC; at your bosses..what do they expect in this economic climate? One of our local nurseries is closing because so many people have been made redundant and child care is one of the first things to be economised on ..so how can they expect you to get money out of people who are making economies?

Stefka. lol at the farting but sorry you are still ill...I hope you feel much better tomorrow.

We are off to Chester Zoo on Saturday and then staying at the local de Vere Hotel thanks to one of the cheap offers ..it is officially Alex birthday pressie to Daddy (bday was on Tues)but Mummy is most defiantely going to enjoy the leisure facilities on Sunday

Have a fab easter everyone if I dont get on here before we go

[FloriaTosca]

definately..not defiantly

[EvaLongoria]

Thanks all for welcoming me, I will have to make time to read all the threads which normally wouldnt take long but Aaliyah is just not happy recently at night. So hopefully after a week of no sleep we might be able to get some uninterrupted sleep again.
Also we moved house the weekend and we did make sure that her room has all the familiar things in. Actually looks almost identical just a bit bigger. And therefore she doesnt want to go in her cot. But she has been asleep as normal since 7 but in my bed and I am way too exhausted to take her out.

Mine I see the dinner went ok and the worst part is being left to do all the cleaning as well.

I am gonna have to read all and then be able to get to know you all soon.

[NeedCoffee]

Hi Eva and welcome have you been on MN long and decided to find us or stumbled on the site lately?
I've got Shannon who is 18 months, born 5 Oct and dd1 who is going to be 9 on Sat.
Where abouts are you? {am doing the nosiness before inzi gets there first)

FT-hope you have a fab time at the hotel!
Mine-well done you for managing to rustle that up at short notice
Alice-hope eveything goes fab with the rental house and buying house, you're going to be living out of boxes for a while.

Oh gonna have to go to bed, sorry for anyone i missed xx

[SleepMeNot]

Hi everyone, have you forgotten me?! Hope not. Anyway I have been more or less keeping up with all your chitchat, just never get a chance to post. It's Choc by the way still under my new name, in case you've forgotten..

Hi Eva. I'm an imposter here too as my DD was born in November (late) and the key thing to know about us is we've never really ggot the hang of the sleeping thing. Welcome - you'll need more time than I have to keep up with this lot of chatterboxes though!

OK, it'd take me forever to comment on everything for everyone, so I'll be brief.
Mine, that dinner sounds delicious!
Dal/Muppet, sorry about your parent problems. Muppet, on the Henry walking thing, a friend of mine's little girl was v sslow to walk and wouldnt even take a couple oof steps unaided like R used to do before she began to walk. Her mum was getting fed up - then about a week before she turned 18 months, she just pulled herself up and literally walked across the room on her own. It was as though she had spent all that time working out how to do it and deciding if it was worth bothering. Bet Henry does likewise. WWJC, what a pain about the boss. Financial work must be a mare in the current xlimate. How's the sleep, Floria? Enjoy the hotel - and happy belated birthday! Hi Stefka, sorry work is exhausting, try to rest during the holiday and snuggle up with Dareh. Crochet, hope you're having a good holiday too. NeedCoffee, how's it going with hthe lovely Rich? Inzi, congrats on the mega weight loss! LLL - are you baking anything lovely for Easter? LES, hope you're okay. Strawberry, self-weaning going on here too - see below.

OK... news from here, well, sleep improved a bit for about three days a while ago, but it wasn't systematic. Overall in general it is better - she's up an average of 3 times a night, twice would be a good night, a bad night would be every hour as she used to. She gets up at 5 every day. Oh and she is self weaning/has self weaned I think, which is very strange - she just doesnt seem to want milk. And this is probably a good thing as it's her choice, but bf has been so easy and snuggly for me that it feels odd too. Anyway I never thought would bf this long and I am glad that she has made her own decision to stop - I am a wuss and wouldnt have made it for her. Only problem is she was only having one feed a day anyway (in the evening) and without that she is just not at all sleepy (I didnt feed her to sleep, but it did used to wind her down gently). She wont feed from me anymore but equally wont drink milk out of a cup. Is that okay do you think? She has milk in cereal every morning and has plenty of yoghurt, cheese, fromage frais, etc.

I am suffering from a killer sore throat and desperately interrupted night, but otherwise looking forward to Easter and chocolate. Happy Easter everyone!

[FloriaTosca]

SleepMeNot!!!!!!!(feels wierd not to call you by your real MN name] Fabulous to hear from you!!!and as you have been skimming our posts you know we haven't forgotten you
Sorry to hear that R is still not sleeping but glad it is slowly improving...same for us, though we were never as bad as your ever 45mins thing..Alex slept through for the first time last week, he hasn't repeated it but genereally only wakes once now on good nights..though that once can sometimes last for hours. I'm so sorry about the self weaning..Strawberry has had the same happen to her recently too ...I know exactly what you mean about it feeling snuggly but at least you didn't have to stop her... not that long ago I thought A was going to self wean too, but since he started to sleep better he has increased the day time feeds so now my Dh is worried that I'll be still bfing him through the schoolgates! I'm absolutely sure that R is getting plenty of calcium/vitamins/proteins with all the dairy products she is eating ...but if you are concerned and want her to drink more cows milk you could always try adding a tiny amount of milkshake powder/syrup to tempt her. I do hope you can manage to pop in more frequently, we have missed you.
I have to get myself dressed and go to Tescos to get picnic food in for tomorrows Zoo visit...Happy Easter Everyone

[TheLadyEvenstar]

Hello all
Still alive and kicking just still busy flat hunting but will find time later to catch up.

[Stefka]

Hey sleepmenot - nice to hear from you! I hear what you are saying about being sad at the self weaning. I know I will be too, it's great that you managed to keep going until she was ready to stop though. I don't know about the milk situation although my guess is as long as she is getting enough dairy else where it will be fine.

Dareh actually slept through the night last night but I have no idea why! If only he would keep it up!

Eva your DD's name is so pretty. How do you pronounce it? Where is it from?

Floria I am just so impressed with Alex being practically potty trained already! Dareh has a potty and sits on it and says poo but never does anything. I guess it is a start though.
