Good morning ladies
Sorry I am so behind! Thank you all for your kind words again
Storm sorry about your spat with your DH
Hope you managed to resolve it
They really can be such ungrateful idiots sometimes
How did the marlenka turn out? Bet it was delicious
I used to love baking as a child, now all I can think of is having to clean the kitchen after lol
Hope the cut to your finger is ok? Can be so annoying and painful if it in a place that gets bumped and used a lot. xx
Sabrina when do you have the op for your kitty scheduled? I totally understand your worries! Several of our cats had to have ops when they were a little older but I cannot remember what age. My beloved Mina (we had to put her to sleep in April due to Lymphoma) had kidney problems when she was a bit younger. She had bladder and kidney stones and they flushed them out etc. I think she was about 10 but it is hard to say as we adopted her as an adult and were only told that she was between 6 and 8 at the time. So not sure how old she really was. At any rate she recovered very well from that and was as fit and as rotund as ever in no time. I really hope everything goes well for your fur baby too
As for having another baby, would you even consider trying or is the process just getting too difficult now?
As for education, we don't have the money for private schools (or public schools as they are called here oddly enough) but we live in an area with a supposedly very good CoE school nearby and we hope we are in the catchment area. It is one of the reasons I am so reluctant to move to a less good neighbourhood even though there we could afford something bigger probably. I'd rather be in a smaller flat and have a good school for the boys.
As for naps, aren't they odd sometimes? Sebastian has again dropped his morning nap and only had 20 minutes after lunch cause of the stupid postman ringing the doorbell. Grr! So I am not sure how he will survive till dinner, maybe he will consent to have a short nap after his 3pm bottle. Does Finn get very whiney if he hasn't had enough sleep during the day and do you find that he is harder to put to bed cause of over-tiredness? Or does it not have an impact on his night sleeping?
Charlie thank you for asking, yes I managed to speak to her for 5 minutes the other day. She is suffering a lot of pain still with her bladder. And though she is in a private hospital that is decidedly 5 star in everything (Switzerland works mostly on private health insurance and luckily her parents took the best for their kids when they were born!) they managed to punctuate her lung when putting in a subclavian catheter (through which to feed her etc). So she now has a vacuum pump through her ribs in to her tummy cavity to get the air out. (I am sorry if I am saying all this wrong, she told me in German and I am translating as I understood). Apparently it hurts her quite a bit. Cause she wasn't in enough pain ya know...
How have the last few mornings been with S? Did she let you sleep to 8:30 again? What imaginable bliss that would be! They need a smiley here that pales with envy lol
And I am in awe that you are managing to go to the gym! I just don't have the energy. But I think that if you were always a gym buff then it probably is easier to go back than if you were like me very lazy anyway
S sounds so cute and so alert already.
Borboleta yes I took medication to conceive. I had to inject Gonal-f every day and then on the day of ovulation I injected Ovitrelle to trigger the follicle I think. Mind you, we were having IUI done so even though our problems came from OH's antibodies in his sperm (it had to be washed), they said it would enhance our chances from 8% without medication to 16%. If it weren't for the cost and our finances and our lack of space and my age I would most likely do it all over again.
But it will be so exciting to have you and Claire and Storm and maybe Leeze too ttc
Do you have to take chlomid to conceive or would you have a chance without it?
Clio yep that popper would drive me crazy too lol
YAY for the iPad mini! Are you enjoying it so far apart from the camera? Mine doesn't even have that (cause it isn't a mini and it is I think 3 years old) I have a Mac too but it is actually not big at all and quite light. I it is called a Macbook air and really dinky. Not sure how big other Macs are as my brother gave this one to me after my humongous Dell conked last year.
I don't think I could use my iPad to type any length of message, I find it annoying, just like sending an sms. Good for short messages but not for whole thread entries
How cold does J's room get at night? Poor boy being cold! I have no experience with blankets on babies but I am guessing he will be ok at that age. Maybe even a duvet? Not sure. Hope you find a solution.
And yeah I know what you mean about my avvie. They do look oddly alike in that. Weird cause in reality they don't even look like members of the same family lol. Maybe it is just cause the pics are so small. You were right, Dominic is on the left and Sebastian is on the right
Claire how is Lucy? Is she completely recovered from her illness?
Ok I know there was something else I wanted to say but I forgot! Dang it! I don't have time to read through the last 2 pages again so I'll leave it for now but will add if I think of it.
Quick update on my boys: Dominic is crawling
He is still a lil wobbly and topples sideways after a few paces but I think that is cause of the soft mat and picnic mat and duvet we have on the floor for them. We have hardwood floors and they cry when they hit their heads on that. Poor lads. We will have to go to gymboree with them I think so train him further. Sebastian is superfast with the army crawl and he tries all the time to chase Alfie, who is so super patient! Yesterday, Sebastian leant down from my lap and grabbed Alfie's ear (he was sitting by my legs) and I wasn't fast enough to prevent. So Alfe stayed still and then decided to dig his claws into my hand instead and then to run off quickly lol
Also, do any of you have very sensitive babies or is this just a phase maybe: If I tell a funny story to OH or there is a scene on tv that makes me laugh, Sebastian will start crying.
It happens a lot during feeding time as we have the tv on to distract Sebastian from blowing his annoying raspberries. He does a wobble lip and then goes into one! Hard to get him to laugh again and to feed him again. I don't understand it
Ok the boys have been laughing and screeching at each other for the last 10 minutes but seem now to want mummy back. OH has gone to the shops and this entry has taken me from 9am to 2:30pm. I better go! xxx
!! Thiago loves them!! And you wait, in less them a month you will be in love with the device. I barely use my laptop.
