Good morning ladies
Quiet on here lately isn't it? Hope you are all well?
First of all, thank you all for the compliments on my little Sebastian.
I find the shorter hair somehow really brings out his big eyes
Sabrina have you checked out the Fruit of the Loom t-shirts on Amazon? They have loads and with different necklines, arm length etc. I like this one for example
I hope Finn is in a better mood today? And did you get some decent sleep?
I really hope your horrible neighbours move out! Unreal that they should bang on the wall after all the noise they were making!
I hope your day out with MIL goes smoothly. I think you are wise not to take F to her house. How is Finn now in the stroller though? Has turning it around to forward facing solved the crying issue?
Clio is J's hair sort of all knotted and matted at the back? Cause we have that with Sebastian's hair a bit. I suppose it comes from lying on the part and him having relatively fine hair. Dominic doesn't have that but his hair is a lot thicker (the individual hair I mean).
Are you all done with the students papers etc? And how are you feeling these days? Hope all is well.
Storm you poor thing, I hope L and you are both recovering? It is one thing after another isn't it. First the thumb and now the vomiting not to mention the washing machine breaking down at the very worst moment. Do you think L might have caught that bug at the emergency room? Or is it another nursery one? I am very sorry you got it too though
Borboleta we went to a children's hairdresser as I was not confident enough to do it myself. Sebastian cried blue murder through out the haircut! I had to hold him on my lap and he was clinging to me and trying to hide his face in my shoulder. Poor little thing! How does little T react? Can you distract him with the iPad there too?
And yay for a break in teething
And what you tell us about the hide and seek is just too cute for words! What a sweetie he is!
As for ppl thinking that Sebastian is a girl, soooo many do! He is a lot more delicate looking than Dominic so maybe next to my sturdy little lad, Sebastian looks more feminine? I don't know. I never found him girly either.
When is your dermatologist appointment again? I really hope it isn't anything bad.
Claire yay for being excused from Jury Duty
And double yay for your friends' pregnancies! And yes I am super broody too. I keep thinking about ways and means by which we might have another baby. But I am just greedy and there really is no way cause it is not likely alas, that I shall win the lottery.
But you were thinking of a second baby, are you still waiting till the end of the year before ttc?
Btw when do you expect to get the results back for Lucy's egg allergy? The thought that she might never have a biccie is getting to me lol
Charlie, you poor thing being stuck in bed like that. It sounds uncomfy and miserable. I much rather have the hyper one if that at least means losing weight. Though preferably neither of course.
I hope you get your results Tuesday and that it will be easily and painlessly treatable
Yay for S sttn! And for sitting up unsupported!
Level 3 gymbo is going very well, thank you. Most of the babies there can walk or totter but not all and my boys are so inquisitive and active and want to explore everything that I think this is the perfect fit for them for now
Kitty_love hope all is ok with you and your little man?
Rowan I loved the new piccie of Martha on FB! So cute! Any chance you could come here and post some of Michael too? How is your infection? I hope it is clearing up? I had one too and had to take two courses of antibiotics as one didn't do the trick. Painful isn't it when clothes rub over the infected part.
Hope all else is going well.
Jules if you are reading this, we all of course know how overwhelming the first few days and weeks are, especially if you BF so don't worry about not finding time to chat to us here. BUT I am absolutely gagging for news lol
I hope all is well with you and your little boy. Still no name? Sending lots of
As for us: Sebastian has a new trick to slay me, when told No, he grins and shakes his head. So cute! And I don't mean the stern NO when we really mean NO! (though we never really try anyway) but the sort of gentler one.
Changing Dominic's nappy is becoming an increasing struggle. He fights us absolutely with everything he has, he screams and cries and wants to turn over and crawl away. We were thinking of buying Pull-Up nappies for him but that still leaves us with how to clean him. Lately he has quite a rashy bottom and it is very hard to clean him, dry him and put the cream on properly. Are your LOs as difficult? And if so what do you do?
Dominic is still, or again, whiney but then he only had two very short naps yesterday. So maybe that accounted for it yesterday. I feel bad but sometimes I just have to walk out of the room and leave him to whine and cry. It just gets a bit much. I think the last time I was without the boys was Sunday a week ago when I went for coffee with my friend Beau for 2 hours. Oh and yesterday when I took empty boxes to the recycling bins. Yay... OH goes out once every day at least to do the shopping. And he never buys the stuff for the next day even when he knows exactly what he will need, lest that will not allow him to leave the house for that pretext. Ah well it is my own fault for not going out of the house more myself too.
I am going to Switzerland with the first flight on Monday morning and coming back in the afternoon. (OH cannot manage on his own over night). My friend Andrea is finally being operated on on Tuesday and she wants to see me one last time. She has been in hospital for over 3 months now and has only put on 4 kilos. She is far too skinny at 45kg and 1m72 height but they cannot wait any longer now. I am very scared she won't make it, though she is so amazingly strong and brave that I do have hope that she will. I am dreading it all and I hope I can be calm and cheerful when I see her so she won't have to expend her little bit of strength comforting me!
Well on that un-cheerful note it is time to go and feed my little boys their brekkie. Hope you are all well. Sending
