40+ Yummy Mummies :-)

[mrsboogie]

mornin' ladies

and the conversation continues...

haha I know what you mean tee

I didn't see that Dr Who (I find it a bit scary for me) but I don't think want to knon [shock}

JW kids and poo, Ben will not go unless accompanied by an adult who has to do silly things to make the number 2 come I have visions of this still going on when he goes to Uni.

I do like a cardi too but I am mystified why baby ones always seem to have hood...what on earth does a baby need a hood for??? Any ideas of good places to ge non hoodie cardies for boys?

Evening all. Didn't get to party Iris didn't wake up till 4pm! There was mucho poo from both girls so I decided against it. The upside being......I got to eat the marble cake. Gawd - it's LOVERLY!!!! I'm gonna make that again

Plus we're having curry - so no cooking for me - it just gets better

ermintrude I've also got a hat like that in blue....am pmsl@ Tollund man....I shall always think of that when I wear it now!!!

tee Worry not about the Easter Euro ancestry - I worried cos of DP (Polish/Russian/Belarus/Serbian/Croatian being sooooo hairy but Iris is pale ginger and has soft, downy hair.

Ermintrude well, he's sort of Borat...and his name is Sasa!!

Cardis rock - they're Very now. I've got loads of slimline long ones - to give the illusion of a sleek figure

hedgepig sounds like you'll be off to Uni with Ben then....!

Babies need hoods for Pram-by shootings... Boyswear - Oooo, now I like Hennes and Zara. There's the sale at Boden. You can be a much-riled MN Boden mummy!

Oh, I was looking at other threads today. I'm so tempted to occasionally name-change and tell people what I think Coward - I know!

Sniff Snort. Came down with a cold about 2 hours ago! YUCKY!

Babies cardies have hoods...........and pockets! Why? I asked K today what she kept in hers and we decided car keys were in one and loose change in the other. They are such the biggest waste of time putting pockets on anything for a baby.

My DH is extremely hairy. And it's dark as well. He has a hairy back like a werewolf...and hairy knuckles. It's like sleeping with an orangutan.

I like the sound of this easy way to diet pill but I hate taking even paracetamols so not sure if I'm brave enough to have something not prescribed. I'll just have to stay fat....talking of which, tonight I discovered under my flabby belly, there's a crease that has become very red and sore. I feel like one of those people off 'fattest woman in europe' with the sore creases between the fat

I've stuck a load of sudocrem on it and hope it works.

So, I've returned from yet another TK Maxx visit with the tiny love gym (is it a gymini?) and some more manhattan toys AND a great find of a No Added sugar knotty hat

Ah poo Casualty time is switched again so I've missed half of it Good job I tape it as well! Hurrah!

We've had curry too but I've left most of mine as it was too spicey and bum is already shouting it's protestations....hhmmmmm.

Hoods I can see, after all, they wear hats all the time. But pockets?!?!

Tee it wouldn't be so bad if the hood actually fitted they wouldn't be so bad but the hood is generally at least twice the size of the babaies head and so they need a hat any way, Oh why oh why oh why ?
my other pet hate is combat trousers (camouflaged) for newborns what ever happened to teddies I want to know.

hedgepig those are so you can send them right to train to protect the house! They have the belly crawl down almost immediately!

hello ladies I'm back - early I know but couldn't be bothered going to the pub as wanted to get home and put on my furry boot slippers and watch outnumbered and be in the warm. However the food was absobloodylutely to die for. Our starter was a brown bread soup with roast chestnuts. I think it is the nicest tasting thing I have ever eaten in my whole life. I love that restaurant.

Yes, hoods on baby clothes - v annoying as not only are they adult head sized but they are on everything so you put a top and a coat on baby and they have two ginormous hoods flappin' about one inside the other and you still have to put a hat on them.

Now, what else was I going to say - ooh yes, anyone who wears black opaques - pretty polly are doing these fab new ones called nanopaques - very soft and stretchy and comfy - like a second skin and no ankle wrinkles or droopy gussets. They are so stretchy they only come in one size - might work for preggie ladies too - maybe.

the soup sounds lovely, I could happily live on soupy stuff I do like my food wet IYSWIM

I have lust bought my 1st ever thing on ebay, a play nest thing I feel quite proud with myself for actually managing to buy something, I took JWs advice and sat with my finger on the button til the last min

yay for hedgepig

yay for wet food

Can't delay it any longer........the tree has to come out today, ready or not. I didn't do any of the things I was planning y'day. Instead, sat in front of tv watching a film with a large box of maltesers K's been awake most of the daytime now but she's good and goes down around 11.30ish and doesn't stir until 7am. Can't have it all ways. I'm hoping this gymini I've got her will keep her amused. I hate her watching the tv but she's an addict already! Surely can't be the content so I'm thinking it's probably the colours.

We have a consultant check up on Wednesday this week and I'm hoping that she won't be able to hear her heart PDA as we're back at the other hospital for an ECG on 29th Dec. Hoping once again that it's either closed up or she won't need surgery. Gulp. Back then at first hospital on the Friday with DSS who is having a tricky tooth extraction under general. Actually, I doubt I'll be accompanying DH on that one.

JW I once baby sat a 6 month old. We were watching the Disney version of Hunchback of Notre Dame. I say we, because his eyes were glued to the screen and whenever it would get to the exciting part, i.e. the music would swell up, he'd start sucking harder on his dummy.

So I think it is the sound and the motion/colours.

It was actually pretty funny. It was like this:

Suck suck sucksucksucksuck suck suck suck

hahahaha tee yeah, that sounds familiar although K doesn't have a dummy she does suck her fist. Or if she's in her bouncy chair her legs will start kicking and the chair will be going up and down.

Funny little things aren't they?

Morning all....and HAPPY BIRTHDAY mrsb
HIP HIP HOORAY!!!!! Cor, that soup sounds delicious - pleased you had a nice time and all back for Outnumbered. Love that prog

Dragged the tree in from the garden last night jw and Iris was just soooo delighted! Unfortunately the baubles were in and out of her mouth....eek....so I decorated it when she was in bed. This morning she tried to cuddle it It may have to go on a table.

Our dinner out with DPs cousin has been cancelled....soooooo pleased!! They're very nice and all that but it would have been such an effort. She's only a couple of years older than me but witters like an old lady And they have slightly 'Mrs Bucket' illusions of being posh and 'in-the-know'. Drives me mad. One day I'll tell her that I'm related to one of Chas & Dave....she'll not top that one

Off to the shops on my own later...OOOOooooo, me, on my own, in the big wide world.

JJ make sure you watch both ways before crossing the street, out there in the BIG wide world, all on your own.

And I've just made myself feel old. That 6 month old is now about 15...sob. And...HAPPY BIRTHDAY MRSB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks all

well the day started v well as the little man allowed us a long birthday lie in! all went to bed at 1.30 - he woke at 7.30 for a bottle then went straight back down until he was woken at 10.45 by the cat wanting its breakfast,

got lovely pressies too - a thick silver ring, a book from my Amazon wishlist, some lovely artfully done black and white photos of D in frames and my lemon tree of course!

I have read about outnumbered jj the kids don't have any script but are just given the general plot idea and allowed to freestyle through it. That's why you can sometimes see the two adults laughing in response to what the kids are saying. It's a great idea well done.

I love that story tee of the baby watching the movie.

I want our Christmas tree up but we can't bother OH's parents for their car again this weekend as we had it all day yesterday.

Happy B'day mrsb

Just sorting out the loft and tree is putting in an appearance.

Love that Iris cuddled yours!

Happy Birthday MrsB sound like you had some lovely presents.

Very dull day here, Ben is full of cold so we didn't want to venture so far, we went to the garden crnter but the queue for santa was a mile long so we didn't queue. we went and had CAKE instead Orange & lemon sponge for me yummmm

WHAH! OK - looks like tree is going to have to go on a table....baubles are disappearing and smashing! Way too stressful to keep this up

hedgepig I read your post and thought that you went to YOUR garden and the queue for santa was a mile long... Took me ages to see the word 'centre'.....I was soooo confused Thought for a moment you'd taken over where Lapland New Forest had left off!!

Shopping was fun.... Didn't feel inspired. Actually it was very quiet - I was surprised...no Xmas rush at all. Parking was free though - so that was pleasing. Oh I love the internet - saves me having to go out and meet people...!!!

I like that most of us ladies on here have become recluses and prefer to shop online. Huzzah!

Tree is up and when I did big switch on of lights, half scared poor K to death. Then she became transfixed by the evil fairy on top of the tree. I did actually buy a nice topper to go on top but DS#2 insisted I put the evil xmas fairy up as it was tradition She's fibre optic. Nasty. Tat. Bought years ago as a joke that won't go away. I'd hoped that she'd break of her own accord a long time ago but nope, she's still going. Anyway, K loves her and her fibre optic wings.

Just watching Wallander while K does her usual evening of whining, crying, kicking, arching her back until she gets too tired and falls asleep around 11pm.

Been and bought more toys today for her...Had to hide it from DH as he already thinks I've bought her far too much (and I have)....but I remember saying to one of the nurses when she was about a week old having got over her bout of sepsis, that if she pulled through and we got her home, she'd be the most spoilt princess Katherine there ever was.........and the prophecy is being fulfilled

JJ sorry I did spell centre very badly. We hadn't mentioned the possibility of a visit to Santa so Ben wasn't disappointed thank heavens.

Eating baubles sounds very bad, hope the tree doesn't break the table.

JW K deserves to be the most spoilt princess in the whole world so just go for it

It is very chilli here as the heating has broken down and apparently the boiler insurance does not mean you get someone out the same day , also no hot water so I'm off to bed cos it is warm under the duvet. Very nobleley (sp.) I have given B my hot water bottle, I think this must be what being a mom is all about

blimey jw I didn't realise that poor Katherine had had sepsis - mind you, you probably weren't bothering this thread too much around that time! That must have been absolutely horrendous for you and who'd blame you for spoiling her now? she deservesit after fighting through that.

What toys have you bought her? we haven't bought a single thing for D yet (well we have but we have already given them to him). He's just not interested - no matter what you put in front of him he will look round it to look at your face and smile and chat (or any lights that are shining nearby)

mrsb yep, she had sepsis 4 days after she was born. Gargantuan amounts of powerful anti-b's followed (the ones that cause deafness ) and I think the same week they put her long line in....that's the line that goes in the umbilicus, through their artery and up into their neck (if my memeory serves me right). They use the end of it to administer the drugs instead of canulating (which she also had)....that was the day I had a whole packet of cigarettes at the bottom of the garden - eeek! Thankfully that was the only day and I didn't start the filthy habit again.

Must say, that all seems a long time ago.

I've bought her a lot of Manhattan Toys. A teether, an apple with a maggot in it, a frightening clown, some of the Wimmer Mind Shapes, a nice black and white cube from Little Green Earthlets. Oh, and I found a Tiny Love Gymini on my travels. I've got her other bits and pieces as well...some rattles etc. She's a bit limited in what she wants

I did go into M&P y'day after spending £50 online and they've got some stunning outfits in the half price sale (and they're online too). I did resist though as she's got so many now.

She's being really cute at the moment; she's cooing at everything and having a real one sided conversation with inanimate objects. Makes me melt when I see her doing it

Anyhoo, bloods today for her in the hope her daily doses of phosphate can stop and they're doing a scriver (again!) as she's 4 months post transfusion......hopefully this is it now...more fingers crossed.
