It was negative MyJob.

I don't think I can link it as it was an outlet mall jobbie. I'll have a look...

Goddammit MyJob, you've made me see an even nicer dress now www.planet.co.uk/en-gb/ProductDetails/?cid=PCATEVE&pid=M3B6010&language=en-GB

Myjob - Ah, but M is a lovely baby...... I thought you'd commented on Hmm's news this morning, maybe I'm going mad.

Hmm - pretty cake. Are you going for the full on Catholic baptism?

Is that the one you got or the one you want Hmm? Either way, it's very nice!

No I've only just seen it, it wasn't in the outlet shop. It's all Myjob's fault

MM, maybe MyJob thought I was fibbing this morning

We are having a catholic baptism yes. There is a really good catholic high school near to us, I've heard it's the third best catholic school in the country. altho we'll hopefully be living in california by then... [wistful emoticon]

GOD I love that dress. Far too expensive tho.

I'm off to bed anyway. Night all!

myjob still got headaches but they have not been as bad so will have to see how they go. Will get eys checked if they carry on.

csws glad you went out and hope it was a nice day.

lol at 3 better then 2 aswell, there speech improves and their attitude begins and suddenly you want the baby back that just smiled at you lol, dd1 is a sweet heart at times and good most of the times!

myjob i feel like you really and think my expectations are high but then you also want to have a well mannered child who behaves well too

hm nice cake and you have a dress that is cheaper than that and I am sure looks lovely too.

We off to christening today, I have no idea what to wear! I need new bras as my boobs as dissapeared DH says I should get a boob job done...such a lot of money though Anyone want to donate some I would be more than grateful

oh star meant to say fab pics on fb of Q and how he is standing, I want to meet him, he is such a cutie I think P can meet him and they can build up a nice relationship, they would be a clean and tidy couple in years to come

lol jenwa They would make us proud

Donate some boobs or some money Jenwa???

My period has started. I know it's unlikely but if it is an implantation bleed, how soon will the PG test definitely work? CSWS, you said it was too soon? I'd had implantation bleed for 5 days last time when I tested, do I have to wait that long again??? I really don't think I'm PG tho, but have been staying off the wine just in case and I want a drink!!!

I'm off to the Trafford Centre soon to find things to go with my dress and get Poppy's dress.

Hey all, I now have a bag, a brooch and a necklace to go with the dress. Just need shoes now...

Ah I see Myjob. DS was an adorable toddler and was pretty much a lovely lad until he went to school. He had his moments when he was 2, 3 and 4 but mostly he was excellent fun.

What colour is the dress HMM?

Pistachio - You're right, you can't argue with that can you!

Hi all We went to West Wittering Beach today. It was so lovely and unspoilt. lovely little villages nearby, too. Only took 1 hour 20 minutes and Q had his naps to and from - perfect! And we stopped for dinner at a little restaurant in one of the cute villages.

I had a bleed w/ Q but it wasn't like an actual period iyswim HMM

Congrats on the run Pistachio! That is soooooooo cute that DD said she wants "fresh air" ha! She's 3? right? I'm just so excited for Q to do all of this stuff.

Congrats on the talking, myjob! So sweet!!

Q took 2 steps ON HIS OWN from standing on his own today. First time stepping EVER without our fingers or other support. We couldn't believe our eyes. No talking yet, though... guess he'll be a strong, coordinated yet non-intellectual...I' telling you he is going to show us up since DH and I are both teachers!!!
He does like books though... thank goodness!

Star - Wow and well done young Q! I found with ds that he would either make advances with his physical development OR his communicative development, never both at the same time. If he was making progress in one area the other would stagnate. Once he can walk you might find that his physical development stops and he will start chatting. Their brains can't seem to do both things at once! He's 10 months today isn't he?

M can't stand on her own. She can manage one hand but she stands with her feet about foot apart so she can't balance properly.

pistachio that's so cute
Yes, MM he's 10 months today I thought I'd die inside when he took his first steps... but I was overcome with excitement and happiness!!

He cried for a half hour again tonight before sleep - he'd been doing so well...?? Not sure what happened there? Sleep and cry experts? Is this just a blip after a busy day and a late nap or is it doom and gloom for the next few nights?

M had beans for breakfast this morning. She is becoming more and more dog-like and keeps scavenging for scraps! We had roast at my mum's today and had our puddings in the front room as the dc were fed up. M tried to climb up me, trying to get to my pudding. Then when I finished she crawled around begging everyone else. Someone call social services!

Congrats Star, that's brilliant!

Poppy's not had beans yet. The poo's are bad enough as it is She's started offering us some of her food with a grin, it's so cute!
