Oh mrsB poor little D He's not having a good time is he. Hope you get on ok at the docs.

Fake nipples? FAKE NIPPLES??!! OMG...that's tragic...that's so attention seeking I want to vomit. I can abide Posh - she's so sulky, so skeletal, so ugly...yep, the woman is ugly.

LOL@ sick collecting into the frills of fancy muslins!

Late pregnancy - Ooooo, ermintrude I loathed it...it didn't suit me at all, everything started to fall apart!

JW LOL@ your FB comments on my pics Oh and I can assure you I'm definately the same size as you - only just in those Tesco size 12....it's all in the thighs and the cunning way I do a 3/4 turn to the camera cuts down on the amount of fat the lens can see!!! Oh and DP's sis was howling at the peasants and shoot 'em all comment!

tee where IS that hubby of yours? COme on, come on - I can't keep making any more cuppas in anticipation. The cake is at the ready and everything!!

I deleted the shoot them all comment as I thought it might offend

Just been contacted by a lady from the GMC re the survey they asked for names for a couple of weeks ago, re being involved in ending a life decision for a child. Seems we're to have a journalist from The Observer interview me (and probably lots of others) about our experience.

I've made a jelly and evaporated mousse....does anyone know how long the stuff takes to set? Will it set?

X-post - did you...hahaha I'd not noticed! Oh the Observer....blimey....are you up for it?

Funny, just that i've been contacted via FB (literally just now) by the woman who did the piece on older mums in The Sun asking me if we wanted to do something!Cor, the Observer though - that's class innit.

Evaporated milk by the way....not evaporated mousse!

lol@ the sun

just thinking up sensational sun headlines.........

Ah - have you not seen my "Bridget Jones" piece?l?! Mmmmm, well, it involved a very snug Isabella oliver frock that made me all sweaty (wouldn't pay that kinda money for a maternity dress!) and lots of make up

No I haven't. Do you have a link?

Actually this is the awful pic from the piece

This was the one from the Daily Mail's YOU magazine where we put Iris into the cement mixer and I had hideous morning sickness I hope yours turns out to be classier!!

Meant to say - can't get a link for the sun piece - it's hideous anyway - talks about DP being Mr Darcy

hahaha mr darcy??????????

Onehit Congratulations! Ollie is a lovely name. Have you managed to post a pic? I'm still trying to find my password to get into my MN personal page thingy.
Tee hope all has gone well. Three babies on here in less than two weeks. We over 40s are doing well considering we are all meant to be infertile.
Milk supply is improving by the day. Amazing how it all works, isn't it? B has gained another 5 oz. He's going to be huge.

what? still no news of tee?

arf jj the checklist puts me in mind of Nathan Barley!

back from Doctor's - it is teeth and not ears thankfully. quite a bad do this time Hopefully the worst has passed for this lot of teeth. Felt a bit silly for taking him in the end - not being one to trouble the quacks normally but he is nine month old today and his first trip so not doing too badly I guess.

love your new fb pics jj the girls look very lovely

mrsb at least it's nothing serious and the teething will pass once they're through.

My consultant was telling me that teething is hereditary (i.e. when you'll get teeth and how painful it'll be). Didn't know that. Certainly didn't know when I first got my teeth when she asked me.

how can it be though? which parent would it follow?

Both. She asked me about me and DH. Not sure if you follow one or the other or are inbetween. Didn't follow it up with her when she asked!

Just found this though and it does say it is hereditary.

jj you look gorgeous in the Sun pic!

jw i was just dreaming... did not win lottery!

i think there is something in the air! LO just finished screaming, nothing i did made any difference. took around 20 mins. i kept making comforting sounds, patting him, winding him, no avail. offered more milk, did not want any! finally quiet now. hope it lasts. but as soon as it got quiet. i started expressing milk and checking out MN , DS1 comes in complaining he is cold, whatever, it is not cold in here. sometimes i get so fed up. just as i finish one thing, another thing comes up. sometimes dont even have time to scratch myself! ok whinge over

iris i admire you for co-sleeping. i cant do it. need my own space and DH in it. no kids or i cant sleep!

OMG just realised am deffo sad stalking type just went on FB and someone had put a big "congratulations" on Tee's DH's page!!!!!!!!!! word must be out - he must be phoning/texting - when is he going to tell us!!!!!!! I can't stand the waiting anymore ..........rushes off to find diversion therapy for brain ... put boys to bed. Yup that'll do it for 1/2 an hr........

come on man!! get your priorities right!!

haha. I saw the congratulations too. She's obviously had the baby but as I posted this morning, he'll probably forget to put it on FB until tomorrow. You can't really blame him as a) he's a man and b) he'll be full of the joys of being a new dad

Someone on the June thread has seen the congratulations on Tee's FB page too and everyone's getting most impatient to know the details!

oh FGS I really don't do waiting very well Come on Mr Tee!!!!!!!!!!!

OH WHAT!!! Typical man....typical! WHat were they all congratulating him on...boy? girl? Come on, come on man....tee would want us cracking open the champers and wetting his/her head by now

Cheers bonzo I tell you - there was plenty of slap on in that picture!

mrsB good to hear it's nothing nasty with mr D's ears. Gosh, he must be having a horrid time teething - bless him

drums fingers on table come on MrTee... come on.....
