Hello all and happy birthday to the first half of April babies.
Sorry I've been invisible - been running about managing the Easter holidays and generally making a huuuuge meal of being a SAHM. Finding it satisfying but scared this means I've forgotten everything I used to be. The other mums at church don't seem to be as eaten up by the motherhood experience as I have been...
WFH glad to hear your mum is doing better
Bronze keep posting or FBing if that's easier. I know what you mean about being unable to post when down.
Schulte why don't men get that the nursery pickup is hard?! In the brief period I worked it used to drive me spare that DH would get home an hour or two after I'd done it and refuse to hold the baby because "I need to get changed and have a drink first." Yes, because I'm changed, fed and watered of course. . Hope you get your weekly drink.
Frogmella - wow that is hard and short notice. Are you having a removals firm? If there is any way you could swing the additional cost, a removal firm will pack for you and take it from me they will pack it in any state (finding everything afterwards is not easy though unfortunately). At least you would know you could clear the house. [sorry if that is a really unhelpful and obvious piece of advice]
Boff you are actually probably the cause of my prolonged absence from the thread - your remark about whether Felix should have birthday cake because he'd never had refined carbs totally floored me. Edmund has spent the last week and a bit stuffing Easter egg in as fast as I can break off little bits for him to have. and [ought still to be a bunny ears blush]. Spent a long time actively encouraging cake, semolina etc. to try to put weight on him, until some time in January he turned into massive-o-baby.
Right better go and tackle the kitchen in preparation for another Groundhog day tomorrow.
