January 2008 Shiny New Year Toddlers - Happy 2nd birthday to us!!

[LilySwalLoosHerTurkeyBaster]

Where did 2 years go ????

I don't know why he would not give me cash tbh as I did not want to get into row

Ange - no he does not pay me any maintenance and has never offered But tbh I would rather he used the money to come over and see kids on regular basis. The minute he stops doing that I will ask for ££.

M not opened anything yet and he big pressie from me (toy kitchen) is not put up and I predict it will take my dad/H a couple of hous too

hee hee MM, it's coming out on Monday so we'll see. It took 4 months after we were married to get PG with A and I'm still a bit astonished about that, absolutely no active TTC or anything like that. BUT I was 34 then and I'm 37 now - who knows if that will make a difference?

well it took us about a week (slight exag.) but two months now and nothing.

Quick post as between playgroup & pre-sch run.

Must admit it's lovely having LaT hanging out on the Due in June 2010 thread with me, but honestly, MM they were a lovely friendly bunch even before she transferred over from July I think the ante/post natal threads are some of the friendliest & most accessible communities on MN, so don't worry about being alone

Happy Birthday xxxx
LTM good for me too. I get in for free because DH is a tube driver never thought they had a play area though. Has been some time since we have been though.
Had a bit of an interupted snotty night last night. Either Edward or George at some point I went in at one point and it was like a pig sty with all the snoring and sniffing going on !
We are going to my Mums tomorrow till Sunday. Need a change of scenery.
Sorry for no personals heads a bit mush today
Have a good weekend all xxx

Happy Birthday Molly, Alek and Tamara! HOpe you all have a lovely day.

Will be back to catch up in a min but want some moral support M first night in big bed My room will feel empty tonight

Happy birthday Molly , Alek and Tamara.
Have put M back in bed tice now but she has stayed there after the last time!
L on the other hand is v upset to be giving up the bottom bunk

Big hug Lily - you will enjoy the freedom soon!

Thanks willsurvive i may even start reading again
She fast asleep and looks tiny. Cot being dissasembled tom then for the last time will be good timing for my sis though who is due her 3rd in March so am giving all my baby things to her.

I hope she stays fast asleep.

IWST - Have to say thankyou for FB chat the other night. It helped me think about WANTING a VBAC and why, which is nice. Now I'm researching how it all goes, which is not so nice, but it is preparing me for what they may want to do.

Lily - lots of and for you.
I don't know how you've shared a room for so long H got kicked out at about 6 weeks

Just quick cos MN kicks me off now and then.

Happy Birthday to ALL babies!! cos I dont know when I'll be able to get back on to here again.

DD has been in her big bed for over a week now and it is going well although she is getting up earlier than she used to. Blackout blinds just don't cut it.

La T - I'm having a VBAC if you wanna talk?

I'm 33 weeks now, not going quick enough though if you ask me!!

Hope your all ok - if you see me on FB please do shout cos I really have trouble getting on here.

waves to Lucky Wow 33wks

Lilyloo - good luck tonight

MIL quote today "I don't know why H bothered to come over and see J if J is going to be strange with him "

My mum said MIL got so pissed last night she could hardly walk to bed!!!

Simps, she is truly something.
2 days....

Lucky - hi there! 33 weeks already!

Simpson - gordon bennet I hope I am a better MIL. He is a child what does she expect, it is hard.

Lily - sending my support, I just cant face the bed situation, although echo JKS both mine went out of the bedroom long ago. Good luck.

Lucky - waving.

Simps aaaaaaargh at your MIL and big hug for J and you.

Ahhhhh

The latest is that H thinks its acceptable to leave M's birthday party early tomorrow to go and watch footie in the pub.

I mean WTF??

Simpson - if I were you, I'd currently be standing in my living room gaping like a stunned goldfish, so I thought you might like a look at this. One of the women on my antenatal thread recommended it and I thought it might be nice because of M's dairy intolerance. She says, 'All the cakes use veggies instead of fat. She also mostly uses rice flour, so most of her recipes end up being both dairy and gluten free. But more importantly, they end up being very very nice!'

Will have a look for you if I get on FB anytime soon, Lucky. Connection is not the problem, it's a DH who prefers it if I talk to him! Can't imagine why

Is it lovely and sunny but very cold where you all are today? It is here

Simps - i started like this

then quickly moved onto:

this

wtf is he on, err NO!!!!

Well Simps I've already told you on fb what I think of H's shenanigans so won't get worked up again

DH has just put Nathan's big bed together and they are playing in it at the moment. Nathan loves it, hope he will still do when he's supposed to sleep in it!

Simps nearly there now!!

Lucky wow 33 weeks , it will be here in no time. Doubt your dp can top his post after you had A though. I will never forget that

Well M slept until 3 ish when i replaced her dummy then until 6.30 when dp brought her in with us. L stirred both times but went back to sleep.
She went down fine tonight
I miss her
Cot went down today and into loft can't face parting with it yet. But my sis came up and took all the baby things , small steps and all that.!!!

Aww Lily & IWST - big changes going on for both of you!

Tried painting with both boys earlier, H not impressed and mostly cried. oh well, may try again tomorrow and see if he's happier before his nap than after.

So far the waking him up after 2-ish hours nap is working and he's not up in the night chatting.

He actually stopped nearly throwing himself off the side of the sofa earlier when i shouted NO! at him
I know it won't last long

Oh and i swear he said 'garden' earlier! we went out this morning (for the first time in aaages) and hwe went on the swing, loved it!
May try and upload a photo in a bit.

Um, not much else going on, i'm big into spring-cleaning the kitchen at the mo, tackling it in stages but getting there (and getting rid of some stuff too, lol!)

Plan for new storage for toys too, so feel we're getting more organised after a year of doing nothing much other than surviving.

JKS must be catching dc's took advantage of trampoline here today. Was sunny but blardy freezing here!!
And dp has decided he will clean out all cupboards and the loft.
We have a 'tip' pile now. He even dragged down ds highchair and buggy no idea why i kept them , thye have been in the loft for 5 years!!!!!
