Ok now you need to post the Christmas Carol!!!

X x x

 

[babyloulou]

Ok- it's to the tune of "chestnuts roasting on a open fire, jack frost nipping at your nose..." Do you know that one? I don't know what it's called :-/

 

[babyloulou]

Ok- so remember Piper is a huge fat greedy Labrador who will eat ANYTHING!! Ruudi (aka Ruud Boy) is a neurotic terrier who constantly sings and howls!! (god we have strange dogs )

So to the tune of "chestnuts roasting on an open fire..."

Ruud Boy roasting on an open fire,
Piper waiting patiently,
Gravy of course, perhaps some horseradish sauce,
Rancid terrier for Piper's Christmas tea...

Piper roasting on an open fire,
Ruud Boy singing merrily, "for ever more without the Labrador"
And meat a plenty for the whole family...

I've been busy sewing.... I got Connor's halloween costume, (grrr! which looks like it might be too small by October!) and a new pad for the sentimental highchair (was Lars' dad's when he was a baby). Oh and a pic of all the kids dressed up for church on Sunday.

I feel so accomplished! I have never sewn an outfit, nor used bias tape. woop.

Aww chell that's fab! Good job! Jack jack!

So I stopped nursing two days ago bc connor's one feeding a day to keep my milk was not sufficient and it was also making him puke (for the last week) Not sure why. Anyway my point is that I am done nursing. Well I'm feeling crampy now, like af is coming...

I have some clomid left. Do I take it this cycle to up my chances? For me, getting preggo the sooner, the better, ya know? I want to be done having babies.

 

[Peach Blossom]

Love those songs girls! I have to admit that I sing everything to Lili! What we're doing, where we're going... she sometimes "sings" back to me too!

Chell, I love that house!! I hope you get it! I live in a 2 bed flat with a garden... If we were to put it on the market now we would get about £289,000!!! Well done on all your creativeness too! Can't wait to see the photos from Connor's photoshoot!

 

[SBB]

Haha poor dogs on the fire lou!!! Brilliant! Could you ask ste to record them and do a video too!!

Chell I don't know about the clomid... Love the sewing - amazing!

[Peach Blossom]

Chell, IMO, I would wait a cycle. Let your body get back to "normal". Xxx

 

[caz & bob]

girls my opks and preseed come today wooppp just sat her waiting for my son finish in the bathroom so i can get ready hes so slow cleaned all the house think i will take dogs out for a run why the sun is out x x x

 

[kcw81]

Hey chell maybe just try and go au natural till your first af. Get the body working on it's own. But it's up to u- I know u are in a hurry!

U guys and your songs! All I ever do is old McDonald had a farm.

 

[Onelildream]

Hi. Friends from Michigan coming in for a couple days. 3 kids the same ages as ours. Will be fun!
Then off to a family reunion for the weekend! YAY!

Freakin A-HOLE investor bought that house from under us yesterday! &^%% HIM! Grrrrrrr. I guess we are just going to keep looking for a few months...and apparently not waiting until I'm 30 anymore! haha. We feel the itch for a house asap.

Thanks for the advice on the Clomid. I was feeling crampy and spotting, but still no af. I might wait a month anyway so I don't have 2 babies with the same birthday. a june baby would be nicer anyway, AND that means we'd prob conceive around the cruise time. Woop.

 

[kcw81]

hey chell do you know the best painless way to break jimmy of his swaddleme habit without too many broken naps? I just bought the magic baby sleepsuit and will try that but I was wondering if you have any sure fires? he only ever sleeps all tightened swaddled in a receiving blanket and then that thing shoved into a swaddleme sleep wrap all velcro and tight. like a big fat burrito. I need to try to get him transitioned off before the inlaws takeover in october for a week because nobody knows how to wrap him like I do. Also - I am aware that he shouldn't be swaddled anymore so no lectures anyone!

 

[Peach Blossom]

Casey have you tried a gro bag? That's what Lili sleeps in now and she used to only sleep in a swaddleme swaddle pod.

 

[kcw81]

Hmm is that just like s sleep sack? I haven't actually tried anything cuz I am scared.

 

[Onelildream]

KC- The main reason for swaddling is the startle reflex...To soothe that, you can put him on his tummy, then his arms cannot flail. If you are not comfortable with that, just quit cold turkey and he will figure out how to keep his arms calm. Sounds cruel, but it works. Might have a rough couple of nights, but then he will be fine. I sleep Connor on his back in the mornings, no swaddle, no blanket, or anything, and putting his arms over his head seems to help, rather than if they are at his side or on his chest.

 

[SBB]

Casey do you not want sleeping tips from me and Lou?!

I am knackered! That's all I have to say really...

Chell just hearing about the people you have coming to stay is making me tired!

X x x

 

[SBB]

Oh yeh sorry about the house

Hope there will be another one soon

X x x

 

[kcw81]

Sorry about the house chell! Forgot to say. Yeah I know that startle reflex thing. I wish I could go cold turkey without a rough couple nights!

 

[SBB]

Casey a rough couple of nights will renew your sympathy for me and lou

How is jimmys weaning going? Is he enjoying food?
