Morning all!!
Just had really yummy chocolate croissants (home-made a la Nigella!) - pretty tasty, but also pretty calorific, I would think!!! But need energy for the long walk ahead of us - DD is determined to cycle over a bridge that we drive under every day, but what she doesn't know is to get there is about 1 mile of cycling before! I've not been brave enough to take her on my own with Toby, as I don't think my Quinny could support her bike, while I'll carry her and push Toby, when she (and she will!), get tired! But got to encourage activity don't you and it will be good for my bottom!!
Ready - I'm going to try Jones boots too on our trip to Bath shopping - get most of my other shoes from there! Need some more shoes, as I was living in horrible flat things while pg, so looking forward to getting back into my heels. If I do go back to work all these 10 people in my department who we employed while I was pg, will be shocked by my actual height when they realise I don't wear flat shoes out of choice!!! BTW maltesers and wotsits?! Does it have to be that combination@? I know that crisps in general with chocolate3 i3es32w1q is quite tasty, i think it's to do with the salt and chocolate-combo!
Bodders - keep on at me to ring the NCT will you, next week - I'll chicken out otherwise! Found on Mumsnet local that there are baby-signing classes in my town too, so ought to try those out - what are everyone's thoughts on baby-signing - heard mixed things about it? Not sure what my feelings are about coils. My personal opinion, is that on paper, they are definitely the way to go for us ladies who are not thinking about any more children for a while, and as I can't take the oral contraceptives anymore (and won;t take the POP, due to possible weight gain), it really is the option I should take, but I hate internal examinations and have a real phobia of cervical smears, so dread to think how I'd cope with having a coil fitted. [this is where I should admit that the company I work for sell a couple of coils, so I probably shouldn't give any advice on the suitability of them as I'd get sacked!!!, but my fears of them has nothing whatsoever to do with the coils themselves! and I have no personal experience of them either (they are much smaller than you think though, that really shocked me when I actually saw one though!).] At the moment, we're going with the complete abstinence option, but don't think I'll be able to fend off DH for much longer!!!. Was considering using the taking charge of your fertility option, but backwards, ie to work out when you wouldn't get pg, rather than when you're most fertile days are! Conceived both cycles I had after reading the book, so i can get it to work that way, but it is a little risky the other way around! Maybe you should have a coil fitted and let me know how it was?!!!
Honey - where are you? Ready is right, you've been an avid poster recently! hope DP made it back in time. Where's the webcam - these home-birthers should be sharing the experience with us all!!!
Firsty - you sounded good. Well done Ty on sleeping so well. I'm wondering when Toby will ever sleep longer than 3-4 hours at a time! Had our first projectile vomit last night at 1.30am, all over me - caught most of it in his muslin, so it didn't get the bed sheets, but still not what you need in the middle of the night. He was then wide awake until about 2.30am when I fed him again (he'd been happily chatting to himself in his moses basket for that hour, while we pretended that we were sleeping!).
Big waves to everyone else - DD is going mad running around the house dancing to music, so before she damages something i'd better go and amuse her!
