I am going to chirporactor this afternoon. Having beiing going to about two years and she is a miracle worker. She said that when you have a baby or two your muscles and ligaments all relax and afterbirth they are meant to spring back over time but because nine times out of ten we are bending/lifting etc they can go back wrong. She realigns me very often. One remnant of carrying the twins though is pain in my tailbone, right in my cocyx. which is worse if i am seated for a long time i.e car journey. Does anyone else get this.

BabyBolat · 30/10/2009 14:14

Boo - babies are us have a a vtech walker down to £21 with breaks its plastic and colourful and noisy so perfect for babies - K has 2 different ones at the mo as he now only wants to walk around with that or be carried - apparently he is too good for crawling now!

I think your DH is right that wooden one might be too light and tip up.

BabyBolat · 30/10/2009 14:14

babies r us even!

BabyBolat · 30/10/2009 14:15

and brakes! god my spelling is horrendous today!

zombieBOO · 30/10/2009 14:17

My lower back hurts if I drive for long...but I figured that's because I labored in my lower back... do you know I have flashbacks whenever my back starts hurting? sigh so much for forgetting...

zombieBOO · 30/10/2009 14:34

might check that out this weekend bb thanks

zombieBOO · 30/10/2009 15:43

Feierabend · 30/10/2009 18:28

Feierabend · 30/10/2009 18:28

BEEN fighting, even.

BabyBolat · 30/10/2009 18:36

K is already asleep which means he will be awake and playing about 11am - tried to make him stay up an extra hour but he just wasn't having any of it!

BabyBolat · 30/10/2009 18:37

11pm - ah I think I need to sleep!

Guimuahahahahahaaaaaaa · 30/10/2009 18:42

BUMSEX !!!

Fei - hurrah! looking forward to Thursday - me too with the backache, like WFH mine is a third of the way down my back. I know its because I hunch over O when I'm feeding him... if I didn't look at him I'd probably not be in half as much pain but I have to gaze at him adoringly when he's feeding

Boo - glad Moo is feeling better today... its knackering the constant need for entertainment when they're feeling unwell isn't it? Hope she sleeps well for you tonight.

I'd love Shipping News if nobody else wants it?? thanks Boo

Nutty - [h envy] at your 13 hours sleep. Not sure I can be your friend anymore

King - O was wary of water in a tippy cup for a while. just keep offering it, she'll take it eventually... it is so funny when they look at your like you're crazy when you offer them something new isn't it? i found that taking a couple of sips myself and saying 'mmmmmmmmm, yummy water' and then offering to O about 20 times in a row worked (after about six days of doing it at every meal)

Gui - have fun at your folks we're off to mine this weekend as well as we're getting O christened in our local church...

Right. Got to pack. Have fun friday nights all - fingers crossed for sleepy babies x

dawntigga · 30/10/2009 21:10

Erm, so everyones children are;

turning over and back again without getting anything trapped
sitting up on their own
crawling
walking

???????

Sam can't do any of that yet. He 'walks' if you hold him steady and move his weight from one leg to the other. He'll roll over but get stuck sometimes. He can sit for a bit on his own.

He was 5 weeks early and I'm very of the rest of you!

NuttSlasher · 31/10/2009 09:20

IMPORTANT SECRET SANTA INFO!!!!

right the names have been picked counted and verified by my gorgeous little helper miss phoenix could i have a big hand for her please miss tiahna also added her special kind of help by dribbling onto the drawn names and atempting to eat them

you will be recieving you giftee details via email this morning

THE LIMIT IS £15 GBP!!

IT IS FOR THE MUMS (though if you do want to get for the babies as well that's entirely up to you)

Please try to organise your gifts promptly and send them no later than 5th of december as ther are apparently going to be strikes during the christmas period

if you can mark the package as secret santa somewhere please do

DO NOT put your name anywhere on the gift this is annonymous!! obviously address it to your recipient and please put the MN Name on the parcel as well as real name so that we all know its part of the mn secret santa.

it might be nice if we could choose a time on christmas day possibly in the evening? so that we can all open the gifts together and say thank you to our santas, what do you think?
