Hiya Crunchster!

I've never even heard of that film..I'm so out of touch

Cara is also a 3 meals/1 snack a day type gal and I try to make sure she gets no less than 18fl oz of milk per day. That is the minimum she should still be getting along with a good diet. I find it hard though as Cara would much rather ditch the milk and scoff some steak and chips I have to give her small bottles across the day to get it into her..3 x 4 oz bottles and a 6/7 oz bottle before bed.

Sound's like Cara and Nate are the same hehe!!

Mill-yons of pics for you...


This is what I've been doing today outside in the garden- decorating with mosaic a little table we have in the hall. Got to let it dry 24hrs before I put the jointing in

And bump pics in my Glam Pants taken last night!

The make-up bag I made when my parents were here...

Morning,

Firstly good news, DH foster sister might be home from hospital today. He spoke to his foster mum last night and she said baby is okay.

My plans for today are housework, after a quick nappy run since we are down to our last two

B I guess English children are perhaps bigger? I'm sure you said before that Lyra would be above the growth line for France, but here she is on the 90th centile. I asked about height because I wondered how much taller babies get really. Lyra is over 2 ft now so I wondered how quickly she will grow.

Sarah hope your hearburn eases. I can understand your reluctance to get signed off, I fought my occupational health department when they wanted to sign me off, but if you're really suffering and finding it hard then maybe it'd be better to extend your sick leave? At least then you can take it easy, sleep when you are able and not worry about getting up for work etc.

 

[Essie]

Essie..that's so sad about DH's foster sister..both of them. I really hope baby will be ok.

Sorry Lyra had other ideas about your anniversary lunch...is it teeth do you think causing her grumpybumness?

Possibly. Her second top tooth has just poked through so it could be that. Now that she's on the move she is quite grumpy, I think because she wants to stand up.

 

[poas]

Essie, esme was born 23 inches and my mum dug out my paper work-i was too. I am nly 5"10 so i wouldn't think they'll be too giant like

 

[kit_cat]

Morning all :wave:

How are we doing this foggy morning! It's so pea soupy outside again today!

Anyway..my friends are coming this afternoon for the weekend so I've got some tidying and shopping to do for that, what about everyone else?

Have great Friday's all

 

[kit_cat]

Hey all, been feeling pretty crappy so not come on as don't want to ALWAYS moan. Ha.
Sarah, I'm on mat leave and tbh it has totally screwed up my tax credits etc which is poo and has left us struggling.
Before esme I worked in a whsmiths-they want me back at the end of march-well, my decision at least, and tax credits need to know my plans before April 4th so the next four weeks seal my fate....
Are you going to get signed off? I now have 3 things I may at some point get around to posting to you...I'm so crap. Still need to repost to nate and James...they'll prob have their own Bubs by time I do it!!
I hope everyone has a great Friday x x x x x

Hiya Lissy...what's up my lovely, why you feeling crappy?

So, am I reading what you wrote correctly that you are undecided about whether to return to WHSmith?

 

[kit_cat]

April...that's a very selfless thing you are considering in the egg donation. I think I could do that before I could be a surrogate but either comes with emotional complications I think. Good luck with your decision x

before tuesday she used to sleep on and off through the nights some nights up 10 times others 1 hr sleep and up then sometimes didnt sleep until 3am then up for the day at 6.

i decided id be little stricter and put her in her own room and try 'another' method.

WELL it worked

Great news about the baby Essie - thank goodness.

Thanks Lissy. I'm only 5ft3 so I think Lyra will be taller than me. I'll be glad f she hasn't inherited the super short legs that me and my mum both have.

 

[kit_cat]

Oooo, that must be some proper posh knickers and boulder holder! Lucky girl!! I could only wear a thong with my dress..the top half was a corset style bodice.

 

[TrinityMom]

Helloooo!

First proper day of leave - not going in to work at all

I've been trying to sort out the car seat. The cover has to be washed. They have certainly gotten higher grade since I had Tarq Took me ages to figure out how to remove it from its base Done now

I think I may go trek to HIllcrest and buy 200kg+ of animal food for the pigs, ducks, chickens etc as I won't get a chance to do that soon. Then clean out my car and place the car seats in their new positions - bit like tetris getting 4 kids and school bags etc in the car!

 

[Essie]

Yay Clare I'm so glad you and Freya have got this sleeping lark cracked. You must feel like a new woman!*

 

[babyhopes2010]

the point of 1 day per week is so i can clean the house/sleep/food shop etc.and just get a rest from her screaming.well she doesnt scream much now and i want her back

at least she will get used to her childminder b4 i go bk to work

Leo has rsv and bronchiolitis.

Sorry little Leo I treated a little 8 month old with this this week. I'm sure I sound like a stuck record but keep up with the Echinacea because it is anti-viral as well as building the immune system and antibiotics won't treat the virus

 

[babyhopes2010]

oh trin just looked at ur ticker! wow! not long!shall i send ur card now

[TrinityMom]

Trin, I have a kindle. How do I share books with you? I have the Hunger Games if you haven't read those yet!

That's exactly what I'm looking for. I think if you download them to your computer you can email them? I know you can with the pdf versions that kindle reads. Maybe we can try?

 

[babyhopes2010]

That's very good news about the baby!

I suppose you don't have the same problem there, but our gynaes are so caesar-happy that they will literally find any excuse to caesar. The latest is low amniotic fluid - which honestly is so rare. But they tend to 'pick it up' at around 38-39 weeks and then quickly whip the baby out
