So Katy what was in your party bags?

CaptainDippy · 26/04/2009 19:52

Glad party went well SPB to poorly ear though. P hugs T. x

Northernlurker · 26/04/2009 20:02

Hope T's ear is better soon SPB.

Been to church this morning, then cooked 'proper' dinner then went out for a ride on my bike. I think I did too much as am knackered now and really should do some ironing - but where can I find the energy? Dh wants to grow vegetables in the garden. This is annoying me rather as he never does any gardening and now he wants to grow lettuce?? The house is a tip and I have no time or energy to clean it, the garden needs attention, the kids are lovely but exhausting and I'm fed up! ( and pre-menstrual I think) The last thing probably explains everything else

hey ladies, just popping in before bed. Pic of Iris on fb. She's scrummy!

All busy here, bought c a wooden playhouse so that has been put up (dp) and furnished (me), plus wedding stuff, uni work and getting sorted for hols on thursday... Whoo hoo!

Can sympthise with poorly babies, c is cutting last tooth (hurray), but it seems to be taking forever. Its through the skin but still seems to be paining him. Poor toad.

Going to see a few nurseries this week too, with a view to putting him in0couple of afternoons a week.

Morning ladies. Nothing much to say, just thought I would pop in and say hello!
Dh and I still rather strained, hey ho, tomorrow is another day I guess!

Hi everyone
My little boy is two - happy birthday
I sang happy birthday to him this morning, and then he pretended to blow his candles out - the association from yesterday
Where has the time gone!
Party bags - I got a bit carried away Thomas book, stickers (not thomas!), thomas chocolate lolly, bouncy ball, little spiky rubber thing, yoghurt coated strawberry pieces, crayons, erm... a couple of other things I can't remember. I only had to make 4 though so that was easy enough!

CaptainDippy · 27/04/2009 11:40

Happy Birthday Tristan!!!

MJreturns · 27/04/2009 11:47

CaptainDippy · 27/04/2009 12:23

Hey PHD

phdlife · 27/04/2009 12:30

Hey yourself

Just about heading to bed here, if dd will stop feeding long enough for me to brush my teeth

StealthPolarBear · 27/04/2009 12:33

Thanks everyone
How is DD doing PHD?

phdlife · 27/04/2009 12:47

she's a weirdo

has been rooting/feeding/grizzling for 2hrs now, but mostly grizzling and playing at the breast rather than feeding

still, the past two nights we've had this behaviour at 2am so suppose I shouldn't complain!

phdlife · 27/04/2009 12:48

have to go
gave her to dh
now she's furious

StealthPolarBear · 27/04/2009 12:57
Sad
Bramshott · 27/04/2009 13:24

Happy Birthday Tristan!

Happy Birthday T! xx

StealthPolarBear · 27/04/2009 19:34

Thanks everyone
Well I just had a huge shock when changing T's nappy - the contents were blue
Blue food colouring (from his Thomas cake) + yellowy brown poo = BRIGHT green!

StealthPolarBear · 27/04/2009 19:35

contents were green I meant

leakyR · 27/04/2009 21:00

Hi ladies

Happy birthday T!

Doing mn while bfing seems like a while since I've done that!

We've had a good first few days. Iris is feeding, pooing and sleeping well. She already seems to be a more chilled out baby than her big brother ever was! This is good news as G is going to take a while to adjust. He's been a bit rough and grabby at times, Iris has a scratch on her face to prove it! He's still so young it must be hard.

Dh off out to watch footy and wet baby's head, so I'll probably take myself off to bed soon.

runnyhabbit · 27/04/2009 22:51

Hi leaky Lol at bf and MNing at the same time. Brings back some memories too

I'M AN AUNTIE AGAIN

Sil gave birth to George at 8.40pm tonight. I am so excited

This is no good, having all these lovely newborns around.....me and dh feeling very, very broody

StealthPolarBear · 28/04/2009 07:51
