Evening all! Back from sometimes sunny, sometimes rainy Wales. Was a good holiday - spent some time on the beach, went to a castle (DH and I are serious castle buffs, and we're indoctrinating the girls too ), generally had a good time. The cottage was lovely - converted stables on a farm, really nicely done and high chair, travel cot and stairgate all provided! Only cloud on the horizon was that we witnessed a nasty car/motorbike crash on the way home, so I might need to provide statements to the police. DD2 also saw it (DH and DD1 couldn't see because of the angle of the road) and she has referred to it quite often. However, she doesn't seem too traumatised by it, as I don't think she's old enough to appreciate the potential consequences (it looked like the biker has broken his leg and possibly some ribs but frankly, he's lucky to be alive).
Libra, hope all is well - sending positive vibes to you.
SK and Pigley, all very exciting on the TTC. Will definitely not be joining you - had an implant put in a few weeks ago so that's that!
SK, glad the first day at school went well - I was there last year with DD1, though she would have started at the same time as your DD1 if we were still in Scotland. They just look so little in their uniforms. Wait till the first time you see her do an assembly or something - I defy you not to at least get a lump in your throat then
M2L, lovely to hear about Aaishah, it sounds like you're all doing really well. Remember, get sleep while you can, and sod the housework - it can wait!
Disney, hope you're having a lovely holiday and get some much-needed R'n'R.
Rumpel, glad Calvin's rash is getting better, that must have been horrible to deal with, poor little man.
Orlaith is not yet walking, the lazy little blighter! She does climb up on the coffee table and such like but walk? Nah! I've started finally weaning her from the breast, which is making me a bit sad but I do think it's time for us. I tihnk I'm sad because I know I won't do it again. However, DH was making little noises about how he was never going to give her a bottle and put her to bed if I kept feeding, and that this was his last chance for this too. Also, I need to start travelling for work soon, so she had to get used to it. It's the same as when I weaned her off the breast during the day though - she's not anywhere as interested in bottle milk as she was in breast. She drinks at most 3 ounces then starts fiddling with the bottle . However, she loves cheese and yoghurt, so she's getting plenty dairy.
Oh, forgot to say, DD1's UTI cleared up really well with the ABs, so the lengthy wait at the emergency GP was worth it. Minipink, how's your DS's tongue??
Well, this has turned into an epistle, so I'll stop now. Hope I haven't missed anyone!
