[Honeymoonmummy]

Sorry MM I missed that. Just looked now, great photo!

CSWS, I wasn't feeling tired, despite being awake for about 2 hours in the night due to someone snoring (it wasn't Poppy). I seem to be most awake at this time of night since cranking up the AD's, which is most irritating. Just sorting thro the pics now. Having said that, my eyes are drooping a bit...

[Honeymoonmummy]

Right, I'm off to bed as everyone seems to have buggered off

[jenwa]

Morning all

MM lovely pic she is a cutie.

hm sorry about your nightmare journey home but glad P slept in the end. I have a blackberry and cant be arsed to MN onit, it takes far too long and sometimes wont even work! I know star did a thread about getting it to upload to blackberry etc.

Off to have MRI today, they had cancellation so glad I can get it done although am scared! Keep worrying about tumours , I also lost weight and have no idea where from as still have a wobbly belly! I lost half a stone. When I came to Warwick I had got those trousers 2 months ago and they fell down that morning so had to roll them over as my cropped jeans were in the wash. I dont feel any thinner though and cant see what has gone other than my boobs

Off to drs this am to see abut returning to work. family and Friends dont think I am completely ready yet so will see what happens.

[50ftQueenie]

Good luck Jenwa. Just think, you're one step closer to finding out what's going on and hopefully to getting a solution. Don't go back to work too soon. You'll set yourself right back if you're not ready.

[Honeymoonmummy]

I second what MM says! Do u find out the MRI results immediately? Good luck with it x

[CantSleepWontSleep]

Good luck with mri jen.

I looked mm, but was clearly sent into euphoria by looking at your dh's arms, so needed to go and have a lie down .

[50ftQueenie]

Heh heh heh. Do you still think he's dishy even though you've met him? Or are you being sarcastic? Very difficult to tell over the internet!

[star6]

Cute photo of M 50ft

No I don't want to be sickly thin. I just want to be thinner, but healthy! This anaemia is driving me crazy. I will ask for ANOTHER GP appt.

[50ftQueenie]

Star - How much did you weigh before you lost more weight? I am the same height as you, have a tiny tiny build and anything under 7.5 stone & I look like death warmed up. You really shouldn't lose more weight. There is no way to be a healthy 5ft 3 mummy weighing under 7.5 stone. This is something I do know about, believe me. You'll end up with an eating disorder trying to stay that skinny, that is if you haven't started down that road already.

I would love to be 6.5 stone again, but I know that it is ridiculous. If I ever manage to get back down to the weight I think is sensible for me, I am going to have to work really hard not to carry on until I'm too skinny again. You sound like me sweetheart and I have had eating issues since I was 17.

[star6]

I was 115 lbs last week I was 112, but must have had too much ben and jerry's on sale at tesco that week

I feel healthy and happy at 105ish.
I don't feel healthy at the moment b/c of the anaemia. I do feel a bit less dizzy today and have been eating lots of pasta and bread to keep up energy (with spinach and broccoli of course for iron - and kiwi/peppers!!)

[50ftQueenie]

Hmmmm.....OK. I'll let you off as 7st 7 is okish for us. 115lbs, oh how I wish I was 115lbs!

[50ftQueenie]

M finally has a tooth poking through! Nearly 11 months old and at last a tooth. Just like her mummy. Phew!

[star6]

yay for M's tooth

[jenwa]

meant to say mm that my DH was really worried when I told him your ds had disappeared. He was about to go on a venture as had previoulsy been unaware of the situation and then your DS came walking back. And Yeh to m's tooth. P has her 2nd starting to come through now too.

Been to drs and signed off for 2 weeks, she was going to do 4 weeks but I said I would see how I feel after 2.
Wont get results of MRI until consultant writes to me, so will have a little wait I imagine.

myjob yes did hear you ok I have trouble with certain sounds and words and if I miss something usually I can get the jist by the rest of the sentance but otherwise I look slightly puzzled Sorry N was up early! I hope you enjoyed your weekend though.

[ronshar]

Right ladies I see I have some work to do here.

First up. STAR. Yes you young lady. (ronshar is hands on hips while frowning over her glasses). Are you still BFing? If yes then you must absolutely not lose any more weight. You carry a little extra because your body makes sure that you can always feed your baby. The baby always comes first. You could be bedridden and weigh 5 stone but your body could still produce milk. STOP trying to lose weight until you have finished feeding Q. Eat more and you wil stop feeling ill and your anaemia will sort itself out. Do go back to the GP to check that there isnt a underlying problem.
Posh eats jack all, that is why she loses weight after she has her babies. We could all be that skinny if we only survived on one lettuce leaf a day!!!!

Hmm, I wouldnt worry about a little bit of salt in a babies diet, we do need some. The advice about salt is aimed at the retards who think it is ok to give babies fish and chips, Mcdonalds etc.
Also NHS direct is mostly rubbish for that kind of thing. Look it up on the British Dietitian website. Much more reliable.

CSWS. Stop drooling over 50Ft DH. It will only end in tears

Myjob, how is N bum? Better I hope.

Jenwa. I hope your MRI went ok. I notice that everyone said they didnt notice your hearing aids. That must make you feel good?

Bertie. Nice to see you again.

50ft. Love little M's picture. She is most scrummy.

Pistachio was it you who said you were still feeding loads? You must be knackered?

Pepper you very hyper moblie person. Are you like Elastic Girl in the incredibles??.

Who else???? My brain is hurting now.

All good in France. Too hot for me and my baby boy but the girls are loving the pool. Both are covered in factor 50 and still have fab colours. I am still pasty.

[50ftQueenie]

Hurrah! I knew you'd give Star a good talking to Ronshar. Glad you're having a good time in France. I am the same, pasty, while ds, who is always covered in factor 40+ is lovely and tanned. And I think CSWS must be being sarcastic as she's met DH now!

Missed your post earlier Myjob. We were calm because we were pretty convinced he would be in the immediate area. Never dreamed he would have wandered off as it isn't like him at all. It also seemed a bit unreal at the time too! M had a cough/cold/snot explosion thing going on. Today she is tired and grumpy but won't sleep!

Jenwa - Awwww bless your DH. That's the first time he's ever been 'lost'. I got lost in Oxford Street when I was 3 or 4 and tried to go back to the underground. My poor mother! Glad you've been signed off for longer, you have to be completely ready before you go back.

[50ftQueenie]

Just had dinner alfresco as DH loves being outside. It was bloody freezing! Yay!!!! Autumn is on it's way..........

[aubergenie]

Evening ladies, I'm back! Can't believe I've been without MN for nearly a month.

We had a great holiday, and S has had an absolute ball. We stayed at my parents' place in Normandy for a while which was so lovely and peaceful. Then we went off to do some camping for a couple of weeks. S loved camping. Me and dp are bloody knackered.

I've had a skim through the new thread. Sounds like you all had a great meet up. Have I missed anything momentous?

Lovely pic of M, MM/50ftQ. She is a cutie!

Oh, and S has finally got some teeth and is on a mission to use them!

[50ftQueenie]

Helloooooo!!!!! How lovely to see you back Aubergenie! I was thinking today that you were due back soon. I am curious..... how did S's love of camping manifest itself? You'll have to wait for Myjob and her fabulous memory to do a round up. Oh and M finally got her first tooth today...... I hope your wonderfully talented DP has got lots of gorgeous pictures of yummy S (and of you too of course).

[CantSleepWontSleep]

Welcome back aubergenie! You need to buy this book .

[50ftQueenie]

How's dd CSWS?

[aubergenie]

That book looks wicked CSWS. I'm going to order it now!!

[50ftQueenie]

My copy is on it's way.... I tasted some of CSWS's yummy cake on Sunday.
