Congrats to my2weegirls!

Anjo, we haven't tried to give him any more so far, but we are going to try some mixed with EBM tonight.

Your DS is probably getting wise to your strategy Anjo!!

I find if my DH gets up to feed DS then he wakes up less often. Last night DH fed him at 12.30 and DS slept till 6, so I got 5 1/2 hours sleep in a row, woo-hoo!!!

bumble75 · 17/08/2007 16:45

Congrats my2wee girls, hope everything is going well

29th good for me and convoy from your place sound good GMM.

L has been asleep for more than 2 hours... in her cot, she hasn't done this for weeks bless her wee heart.

midnightexpress · 17/08/2007 20:23

of your sleep trixy. It's been months since I slept for that long in one go. .

We are bracing ourselves to try some night time discipline but haven't got the energy to try it yet!

I can do 29th but 1pm a bit early for me too, as DS1 will be napping. Will you guys still be there 2.30/3ish? Trixy - we could always meet up later anyway?

Meanwhile, we're up in the Highlands and all the fresh air and silence means ds1 sleeps till 7am (unheard of at home) and eats everything put in front of him, though if we get through the holiday without him falling into the pond it'll be a miracle. There was a fawn in the garden last night and the sun is shining. Bliss (though sleep-deprived bliss).

Yep - can do 29th. Prob be 2pm though so will still be there @ 3 i expect.

weeonion · 18/08/2007 12:34

Sorry ladies, won't be able to make 29th - dd1's birthday so am meant to be hosting a party for 4 year olds - eek!!!
Will def try to make the next one though.

Midnight - your holiday sounds lovely, can't wait to head off to ireland and get some of that fresh sea air - and hope it has the same effect on my 3!

29th sounds good for me. Get back from Bristol on the 28th though so will see if I'm good to come. It's a lot of travelling to get down there so hopefully I wont be too frickin knackered to come! Charlottes been a wee devil at the minute as well so if she is gonna play up I fear I may loose my sanity in public But at the minute we are good to go

Oh this is exciting!

liath · 24/08/2007 08:10

Afraid the 29th not looking so good for me, have someone coming round in the morning which may not leave me enough time to come through. Will have a better idea on the day so might be a last minute decision. What/where is the tramway?

weeonion · 24/08/2007 20:31

hi folks. myself and gmm met for coffee and natter yesterday. it looks likethe merry bunch for teh 29th is dwindling. hope i dont leave any of us out in the round up -

yep = gmm, anjo, tallubelle, WO, bumble, trixy, midnight,
maybe = liath?

we still goign for it then? does the tramway still suit?

OP posts:
TALLULAHBELLE · 25/08/2007 19:00

Yep - might as well go for it. Can always arrange another date later to catch up with those who miss out.

weeonion · 25/08/2007 22:53

how you getting on tulla. looking forward to seeing yr weeone and how much she has grown!

TALLULAHBELLE · 27/08/2007 09:52

We're fine thanks WO but daddy in oz so is bit of a struggle at times. Looking forward to catching up with everyone & seeing all the bubs.

bumble75 · 27/08/2007 22:26

I'm still good for Wednesday, looking forward to seeing/meeting everyone who can make it. Are we still aiming for 1pm-ish?

Haven't been on mn for a few days - L has a snuffly nose and poor wee lamb has needed lots of attention, don't know where the time goes these days!

WO & GMM - in preparation for water babies starting next week I bought some new swimmers and got my legs waxed - anything to detract from the horror that is my stomach these days!

weeonion · 27/08/2007 22:34

hey bumble. glad to hear that yu are still coming through! i was goign to suggest that i meet people at queen st station and we could hop on the number 38 bus up to the tramway?? naybody want me to meet them?

hope lucy is feeling better!
i am heading to M&S - i have heard a rumour that theu do a miracle swimsuit to hold you in! need to be industrial strength lycra i reckon! what day are you going to waterbabies???

liath · 28/08/2007 07:21

Hi guys,
Definitely won't make tomorrow I'm afraid as my mum is coming up for the day, have a lovely meet up .

Hope everyone is OK, thinking of Vio & wee James.

thelady · 28/08/2007 09:36

I won't be able to be there either, I'm afraid. We've had a very good holiday weekend here at the hotel, but the result is that I'm knackered and the thought of 2h plus driving each way is more than I can bear.

Sorry to miss you all - perhaps if you manage to meetup in Edinburgh I'll be able to do it.

trixymalixy · 28/08/2007 11:04

Hi everybody,

I'm still up for tomorrow, but won't be there until 2.30-3ish, so hopefully you'll still be there!

Where are you all doing the waterbabies classes? We were supposed to start today but as I was about to leave I got a call to say the class was cancelled as the pool was too cold . I'm really gutted as was really looking forward to it, and had spent ages defuzzing last night!!

weeonion · 28/08/2007 11:26

hi trixy - we are doing the classes at ashcraig school. were you for the swallow?? they did have places left at the red cross centre in irvine- bit of a hike tho'

OP posts:
geordiemacminx · 28/08/2007 11:52

rightyo...

BUMBLE, I was thinking about getting the train in, there isnt a direct train from mine but it only takes 40 minutes including the change at glasgow central... you could drive to mine and we could get the train together or I could meet you at central?

ANJO - do you wanna meet at central? Unless you can get to udingston train station?

LW - Probably best to meet you at central too?

bumble75 · 28/08/2007 12:09

GMM, think I am going to be brave and drive the whole way, I got directions online so will hopefully not get too lost on the way!

Trixy, that's such a bummer about your class being cancelled, hope you can get a space in another one.

WO - I got one of the M&S 'bodyshaper' swimsuits, I rate the 'shaping' properties quite highly, is quite an effort to get into it... or maybe I am in denial about what size I really am...
I am so sad, I got one with pink stripes on it to co-ordinate with L's swim nappy... seriously what a saddo...

Liath, hope you have a good time with your Mum.

trixymalixy · 28/08/2007 12:37

Yes the class is at the swallow hotel. It's just this week that's cancelled tho not the whole course, but I'm on holiday next week so will miss that one as well.

Will have to go to M&S to have a look at these miracle swimsuits to hold my flab in!!!

PMSL at the coordinating swimsuit Bumble!!

midnightexpress · 28/08/2007 12:58

I'll be there 2.30/3ish too Trixy. pmsl at bumble's coordinating cossies - hope we'll recognise you from matching outfits tomorrow .

Have just bought new swimmers for the wee guys, so will also have to hie me to M&S before it's full of winter woolies. 2 c-sections in 14 months has done nothing for the belly. Nothing good anyway.

Happy birthday tomorrow for loulee's dd.

geordiemacminx · 28/08/2007 12:59

Ok bumble - I might drive too then... I had thought about it - but have absolutely no idea where it is - to be honest I would prefer to drive - not very good with whole public transport thing - plus I'm not sure whether you are allowed to take prams on the train.... will email you later on tonight.
