Jan 2010: Weaning, sleeping crawling too...at least we've moved on from discussing poo

[CantThinkofFunnyName]

Roll up roll up - let's get chatting...

new shame you can't make it too.

We could do a mini meet up next time you are at your sisters if you fancy it? Am only 30 mins from cambridge and can drive in and hop on park and ride dead easily.

wmdo never did take ds2 remarks re staying at home lightly, in fact fully expect him to never leave my brother, whilst living in own flat, still eats with my parents every night and is lost when they are on hols!

ali my ds3's left leg is shorter than his right as a result of internal rotation due to his cp - it is also a hip prob. Have been reading up on it and read about what an externally rotated knee also means wrt to hip, but have instantly forgotten....... and I am a nurse - should know but now have no brain due to excessive childbirth

That should be excessive childbearing.....

Oh no - me, Lottie & Crumpette only?! Methinks I had best contact them pronto to see if they want to hold off as both of them have journeys to make...

hi all- sorry last post was on 7th -had lots of things to do and being on here is such a distraction for me! well
DD is now 16 - and ermmmm NewB - ermmm hell know no sweet 16 MTV style up in here we just spend a girlie day of shopping and pampering and then she went off to thorpe park with her uncle and her cousins - she had so much fun and the weather was great!
Super - hope all goes well for you at your scan ohhh how exciting!
WMDO- dh and his eye i pray all gets better for him real soon.
Sock- good news about your mum.
loving the news about "early walkers" its amazing and only seems like seconds ago we were all on our birrth countdowns!
well my lo has found his hands and feet and is crawling really fast to go after things he shouldnt!
Crumpette- biggggggggggggg hugggggggggggggggg
only came on late so missed the whole meet up thing would love to make it! will check on tomo am! or will text CTOFN - nite all x

well was checking about the link up today! but no updates, i may not be able to make it for have a appt that i was suppose to cancel by 9am and so i guess i cant without knowing about if the link up is on or not! Njoy your day xxx Lo - slept all the way through the nite and woke up at 6.30 for his feed then back to nod land and is still there, my milk is super!

Hi Mama. I don't think it's going to happen as only a couple of us can make it.

Jacob has got the bloody CHICKEN POX that is it I give up what is wrong with my kids

ali I need to lie down to take all of this in......

new Im offended at your accusation that im some sort of virtual hypoconriac.....

anyways, I googled it ali and I think it's hip displacia (or something, haven't really googled).
It may correct it's self with a little physio or he may need a cast around his 1st birthday. My 2 sister-in-laws had it and Mil described similar when first one wasn't diagnosed at birth, that's similar to what they noticed earlier. I hope that is what it is and it sure sounds like it. They are both fine.

Easily treated but yet another stress added to your ever growing list. I feel angry for you. Not at anyone in particular just at how unlucky. How is Jacob?

Well from sick kids to sick adults. DH got out and then my back went .

Im in sheer agony, id rather give birth.
Oesteopath called it Miners back then gave me the technical name - forgot. It's from feeding Olivia and trying to keep her upright with her reflux.

I sit her on sofa on say, my left then twist right boob over to her then I lift her over and twist the other way. Been doing it for months.

Fanny!

Couldn't breath yesterday as it effected all my rib cage area and spine.

Cant walk, sit, move or feed Olivia without all the muscles going into spasm. Will take weeks to ease off and I can't lift anything . Luyckily DH is off with the eye eh!!

I'm angry too having a really crap week and now to top it off got to stay home all week so can just sit and sulk.

Your back sounds painfull

I'll join the grumpy lot. Have period and MAHOOSIVE PMT without the "pre" IYKWIM.

That's it. No major dramas just pissed off for the sake of it. Harumph.

I have period too which just makes things seem 200 times worse.

I will try and upload a spotty photo tomorrow.

THUMP - WMDO hits the floor

. On his walk with Percy this evening, DS witnessed our pup pick up a rubber bike handle grip and eat it. Percy was off the lead in the park. Why do knobheads leave such items lying around???

Anyway, he's now in the Royal Veterinary Hospital undergoing xrays, cameras and probably an op.

Very upset CTFN. .

hey all

wmdo I hope your off the floor, and my xmas post didn't upset you to much.

cant for percy, hope hes ok

yangy for sore tooth, I hate teeth as much as spiders so i don't envy you at all

well only 7hrs and 1min to go

super - good luck with the scan today, let us know how you get on. You will have to ask can't to borrow her magic super mum powers and cape for your coming weeks

can't I'm assuming that you have a cape right, because all super heros have capes or at least all of the good ones do How is Percy doing? Absolute knob jockeys leaving stuff like that hanging around but at least you spotted Percy eating it. I think the only medicine for your PMT is a big bar of chocolate.

ali- I can't believe Jacob now has chicken pox. Am I right in thinking that if babies contract it before they're one then their immune system isn't matures enough or something so they will catch it again? Fingers crossed that when your DCs are teenagers they have no illnesses because they will have had them now. Every cloud and a silver lining and all that, it's just this silver lining is pretty small. Hugs for you.

wmdo - I read your post whilst half asleep and I'm amazed at your way of feeding Olivia. Do you have extendable nipples or just mamahoosive* bangers?! Mine wouldn't even reach Jack if I did it that way. How is your DH doing? You two could be one of those couples t

very - a rendezvous sounds good to me. I'm planning on going back to my sisters next month if not sooner so I will let you know and see if you're free.

crumpett - on the off chance you're reading this, are we still going to find some sun and maybe a nice foreign gentleman to entertain us?!

Sorry if I have missed anyone out. Jack is refusing sleep like an absolute trooper and has done since we got back. He's kicking and pinching and generally dong whatever he can to stop himself goin to sleep. Joy.

Oh and the freezer AND shower packed up on the same day, I swear my house is falling apart.

tahnks new I will report back asap.

Morning all.
Boy the crap times are doing the rounds aren't they?
I'm off to docs today. My boob is still really painful and the spot has not gone. Have decided to brave it instead of living off paracetamol. MIL has said she will drive me which is kind of her. Not said why I am going yet though. (Not sure if she approves of BF)

DH has said I should be weaning Noop by now, NO!!! I've got a couple of weeks left yet. Even then giving solids doesn't mean giving up the boob. He did decide, while I was out of the room, to let DD have a taste of his crunchie icecream. Yeah, great move there you numpty. I went mad at him. I know it won't kill her, but it's not exactly on the list of "first foods" is it?

Hi sock, hope you get boob prob sorted.

No it won't do her any harm, and i bet she loved it , I give erin a taste of alsorts, ice cream, chips, toast with philly/jam/salmon paste, pizza, just like a tiny lick iykyim, but i figure she won't refuse much if shes used to different tastes.

super good luck for your scan your list made me need a lie down

cant hope Percy is okay

Well Jacob is covered and very grumpy he's not eating doesn't want to drink I ended up using a syringe to give him some milk

Someone made a comment saying I shouldn't of had another baby as I make poorly children just what I needed to hear when I feel so shit.

Who the feck said that ali? what an absolute horror of a human being.

Your children haven't all got some genetic life threatening disease. Id maybe have said, yeah maybe think twice about an more.

We have your DS with a birth mark, DD with her eye problem and DS who had a rough start because of random infection. A possible hip displasia which agai,is common not life threateniing. How dare they.

Put a spotty picture taken last night the photo doesn't really show them very well.

Of all people it was my sister
Think she is a bit jelouse as she is trying for her first.
