Now where are you Scoot?

Well done you! Massive congratulations. It must have been very odd for the other two dc to go to bed and then wake up in the morning with a baby sister there in the house! I hope you are taking it easy.

largeginandtonic · 20/09/2009 19:25

We were texting through the night werent we AM. She in the throes of labour still managed an 'i'm 3-4cm now'

The girl is awesome i tell ya!

I hope you are taking it a bit easy now AM. No rushing round. Savour the moments, little Lucy will grow so quickly.

Now i need to see her immediately. I will allow you till Tuesday

No really, is Tuesday ok? Say if you are inundated with people and need a rest. Do you need anything? I will be sans enfants so can clean the bathrooms if you need me too, take you shopping, hoover. Whatever. Just holler.

I may have to hold the baby in amongst the hoovering though, just for a second

Well done you. I am thrilled to bits for you and C. The children must be made up. What a good weight she was too!

Congratulations April and family.

Do you think 5 days before my due date would be okay for swanning around a London meetup?

DD first full day at school today, settled in better as the week went on and at a party with her new school friends last Friday night, all seems to be well. Phew. Over react me nah.

JamInMyWellies · 21/09/2009 21:01

Glad DD is getting on better Charley.

SKY am sure you are lurking hows the cleanathon going?

AM just seen you FB update take it easy my love.

Shmoka is almost walking god help me his new best friend is the dog who today has been ridden by Archie several times and Lachlan has spent the day trying to gouge out his eyes and eat his food. Poor thing just lies there while the boys terrorise him.

Had to get the car serviced today 600 shmakers later

I have been in the kitchen since 10am and have managed to make hot chopped tomatoes some gingerbread splodges and chicken pot pie. Am exhausted from my culinary brilliance.

Have a good eve all.

AprilMeadow · 22/09/2009 08:05

Morning!

So excited as the Gin lady is coming for a visit today

Lucy is settling in really well and J&E are being really good with her. Each night seems to be getting better and as yet she hasnt disturbed the older 2. L is feeding well during the day on the limited supplies i have (hoping the milk bar gets stocked up today). I am giving her 2oz of formula just before we go to bed after i have fed her and she seems to be going down for about 1.5 - 2hours sleep which is good. Will knock the formula on the head one i am fully stocked.

Dh was at college last night and i did the bath/story/bed routine all by myself. Had all 3 asleep by 8.30 which was brilliant (scary being home alone for the 1st time!)

JamInMyWellies · 22/09/2009 08:23

MrsJB is it today you go get M's arm checked out? Good Luck.

Themasterandmargaritas · 22/09/2009 11:43

I'm feeling a bit low today, can someone tell me just to MAN UP please?

JamInMyWellies · 22/09/2009 12:26

Whats up lovey?

charleymouse · 22/09/2009 12:54

TMAM man up. Why the blues? Have you tried a run? Alternatively the sherry cake and coffee option?

Jam how much for a service?

April well done on holding the fort.

Hope M gets on okay today MJB.

LG&T give L and C a squeeeze from me. Good job I am preggers or would be broody.

SOH have you decided when you are gracing up North with your presence yet?

SKY hope eveything is getting better.

TSM lovely pics on fb, I want to visit some proper old fashioned sand dunes. Also fancied some pickled walnuts last night, do you think I could be preggers?

ED how you doing?

PJ glad you got back okay, hope your hols were fun.

AL hope your class is a good one this term.

Okay where is Scoot hiding, has she gone over to the other side and hidden with MKG?

Themasterandmargaritas · 22/09/2009 13:07

I think it's just my old hormones, but dd had house cross country this morning and found it all too much and wouldn't let go of me afterwards, I found it difficult to leave her Then yesterday I felt very offended by a very close friend who lives on the other side of town, who was going to come for lunch then didn't because she didn't want to come without her dh (twas a public holiday) only to find her at my pool with another friend. She couldn't/can't understand why I was upset. Probably if i wasn't hormonal I wouldn't be upset either, oh god I'm weeping again. So in the scheme of things nothing much really. Someone shoot me.

I have made cakes Charley, they are in the oven I managed to do 10k yesterday and am trying for a half in a month's time Your dh's time was awesome! I do hope dd settles in well, it can take til half term sometimes. Give that bump a little rub from me.

I can't believe Schmoka is on his feet already! Where does the time go?

charleymouse · 22/09/2009 13:48

TMAM no it all sounds reasonable grounds for being down in the dumps if you ask me. I am rubbing bump on your behalf as we speak type. Ooh lovely cakes, smell delish. Good news on the running well done. Right off out to car to look up that blardy book title as well.

Yes Jam can not believe from your FB pics how much your handsome fellas have grown up. Sorry forgot to mention it earlier.

charleymouse · 22/09/2009 13:53

TMAM the book is

treat your own knees

JamInMyWellies · 22/09/2009 17:20

How annoying and upsetting TMAM am not surprised you are feeling a bit upset.

largeginandtonic · 22/09/2009 20:39

I met Lucy!!!! She is by far the sweetest little baby i have ever seen. Honestly if she was on a supermarket shelf full of babies i would pick her. She is so cute, dark hair, gorgeous dark eyes and a soft little body. I held off for a full 10 minutes or so before holding her

AM looked amazing, barely an extra ounce on her and no signs of tiredness. She is clearly up to the rigours of 3 children.

I saw J amd E too, J was full of school and E full of bunches and sweetness.

I am i incredibly broody. Someone slap me

TMAM poor you. That is not nice. Did she give any reasons? Wish you were nearby for a hug. Have a glass of vino. No manning up required. You are a strong lady and we know that. Have some love xxx

Was so lovely to see you yesterday LG&T
Managed an hours sleep after you went and then got 3 people descend on us without warning - you know the people that once they arrive they are very hard to get rid of...

Fairly good night last night and managed to get through it without the need to use formula

ShowOfHandsInEpistolaryForm · 23/09/2009 13:21

Dear Lucy,

You beautiful, beautiful baby. You make me broody but don't worry, have beaten myself about the head with a soggy cucumber and normal order is restored.

Be good for your mummy,

ShowOfHands, one of many, many virtual fairy gothmothers that exist only to devise new and evil ways of torturing your potential mates in 15 years time.

Dear TMAM,

I am also of the hormonally challenged persuasion today. There is much and a healthy dose of reverberating around the SOH house.

Wear the shoes, it helps,

Showy.

Dear Christmas,

Consider yourself cancelled.

Humbugs,

Show.

Dear Thread at large,

Oh how I love you my reason for living, the exquisite beating of my heart in the grey twilight hours continues only because out there in the cloaked night I know you nestle waiting for me. How my body yearns to be mantled within your gentle caress blah blah. Did you know my friend once met a guy who said crap like this to her in the heat of the moment. Yards of crap, spewing forth from his Hallmarked lips. Even better, he ended on a note of pure filth every time so 'my darling, the light of the morning reflected on your silken hair is like the light in my heart that sparks whenever you are near. Sit on my face.' You know, that sort of thing.

Have not been round much, apologies. You can blame Thor and the rigours of the epistolary form.

Anyway, have a hot date with a sieve, some gravel and a lot of mud. I. Kid. You. Not.

Kind regards,

Show.

PS Sit on my face.

Pinkjenny · 23/09/2009 13:23

I know we don't LOL, but I actually did then.

charleymouse · 23/09/2009 14:28

Prospecting for gold SOH?

MmeJaffaB · 23/09/2009 16:28

PMSL....

I love you SOH!

largeginandtonic · 23/09/2009 19:10

Themasterandmargaritas · 23/09/2009 19:12

at you. It's HOT, too hot for green shoes, I shall send them to you.

Ooooo I wish I could cuddle a Lucy. More pics please. Hands off dh LG&T Send your broody vibes over to Showy.

Sorry for the wobble, am back on track now after a couple of muffins and a large glass of wine to wash them down. I think I am a bit sensitive

SKYTVADDICT · 23/09/2009 21:20

I have also wobbled and am back on track now.

Thanks for your all positive vibes.

Lucy is just gorgeous. I think I want one . DP also wants one. Thank god for sterilisation!

PMSL at SOH.

DD1 has made me laugh tonight. She went to Walsingham to see the Nuns yesterday and has decided she is agnostic. She brought home some holy water which they had been given. This evening she proceeded to put some on DD2s poorly knee in the sign of a cross as apparently it made her arm better yesterday .

She has been off poorly today and both boys have wicked colds. Very bad nights being had here. Don't hold out much hope for tonight.

Mrs JB Hope M's arm is getting better x

Hello to everyone else.

SKYTVADDICT · 23/09/2009 21:48

Pleased you are feeling better TMAM. Your friend sounds a bit strange and I would have felt the same as you x

SKYTVADDICT · 24/09/2009 09:16

Day 1 (again) of potty training today .

He is wearing pants and he knows not to wee or poo on the aeroplane - he can do it when wearing nothing so what difference does a pair of pants make?

Staying at home today as L got a poorly cold so thought we would give it a go.

Glad you had a good night AM.

L actually slept through for the first time in weeks and it stuffed up to the eyeballs!
