Hi girls

Jess- sorry Lili is sick! Poor thing! Is she alright to fly with a temperature that high? X

Casey- why does it have to be an outfit without a hat? X

Laura- have your pains eased love? X

Verna- good luck with the doc honey. Is this to get the all clear?? X

Can't remember what else I read....???

Ben has been for his 12 month review today (yes I know, I know- he's only 8 months- I don't know why they do it so early here?? ) Anyway he's meeting all his developmental milestones- ahead in a few and behind in none so it's all good!!

He has dropped on the charts again though and is now just above the 25th percentile!! (he's 18lb) - they aren't concerned- they said he'll just be tall and slim (like Ste). It's bizarre though when he was between the 91st and 98th percentile at birth!!

I also got loads of lectures about his sleep and lots of useless advice/pressure about it! But overall not a bad visit!!

Oh and here's a new pic from today...

hehe, are those elbow patches on his sweater? Too cute!

Love the pics Lou!! So darling. Glad he is thriving! Those guys don't realize u have heard it ALL. Jimmy won't wear a hat. Or a hood! Little rascal.

 

[lisaf]

I assume you've tried hats that tie under his chin?
Have you ever tried a 'decoy' hat? ... put a beanie on for example, then a bigger looser hat on over that so he thinks he's succeeded?
Just throwing ideas out there, lol... I'm sure he's clever enough to figure either of those out!

 

[kcw81]

Omg how funny! Decoy hat. Covert operations over here. He can pull it off when there's a string. I hope he just gets over it soon so
He doesn't freeze! I like the Charlie brown idea! They look like him! How would u get the black thing on the shirt?

evening all :wave:

Right....

Jess, i hope lilli is ok and happy anniversary.

V, the cramping is normal hun. I had it BAD the first few weeks in both pregnancies.

Vern, still no baby here *stamps feet* WOW you do work a lot. REST!

Lisa, hope your ok chick. I was expecting chloe to be here by now to.

Lou, i wouldnt worry about bens chart hun. As long s he is eating and gaining thats all that matters. Such a cute pic though. He is adoreable. Still having pains and V.V panful braxton hicks but im coping now. Everytie she has a movement frenzy though im in agony. I can feel EVERYTHING with her being back to back. Did you have all this lou?

Well AFM: shae over slept this morning. Didnt wake until 8:20 so knocked his routine right out. He hardly napped at all and has a bit of an upset tummy but is fast asleep now upstairs in bed. My mom has her appointment at the breast clinic tomorrow afternoon so im praying for good news.

[babyloulou]

Laura- to be honest hun no I didn't! I only realised how stuck he was and only got the horrendous pain once the complications started when my waters broke. I'd been fine before that. Have you spoke to the midwife again? I hope your mum gets on ok tomorrow

Lisa- yes the jumper has elbows patches on- its a gorgeous little knitted one with a dog on the front

 

[lisaf]

you can cut out a zig-zag of black felt and either use super glue, fabric glue, safety pins, double sided tape (short term for a pic or two)

 

[laura6914]

Im not seeing her again until a week tomorrow which is the day before my due date. Im hopinh she will do a sweep as im already 1cm dilated. If she wont i have been advised to go to the drop in midwife on the friday which is the day after my due date and ask for a sweep then.
Some MWs wont do a sweep until you have reached your due date.

 

[babyloulou]

Mine wouldn't do a sweep until 41 weeks Laura!!

 

[laura6914]

really I had one on my due date with shae that didnt work and then another a few days later.

 

[babyloulou]

I had 3 between 41 and 42 weeks- none of them worked though- probably because he was stuck which I didn't realise at the time x

 

[SBB]

Lou I love the pic! Sammuel has a cardigan with elbow patches

at dressing Jimmy as Jenny and the covert hat op!! Sammuel pulls his hats off a few times then gives in! Then tries again once he's remembered
Speaking of hats my mil bought her other GS a hat (he's 7) it's age 11-13 and it was too small for him - so she gave it to Sammuel - it fits And my sisters sunglasses fit him too except they slide off his tiny nose!

Laura FX for your mums appt and COME ON CHLOE!!!!

Hmm what else did I read?

Oh yeh Jess have a great time! Hope Lili is ok on the flight

Verna I miss you I hope it all goes ok

[SBB]

[lisaf]

lol @ the giant hat!
I've been looking for sunglasses for Daniel... all of them say ages 3 & up and slide off his nose and stick out way past the back of his head... I live in a beach town, you'd think they'd have baby sunglasses!!!

 

[SBB]

Do you have those ones that wrap round on a bit of elastic?

X x x

 

[lisaf]

not in stores, I'll have to order online

So I'm running into a frustration with my daycare.. she doesn't alway get things back to me... we're forever nagging her for bottle lids and there is one onesie in particular that I know she has mixed in with her stuff (she's not watching other kids so it has to be there somewhere! Makes me sad because he's going to outgrow it soon). She needs stuff for cooler weather and I have a pram suit, which I'd be happy to pack in his bag, but I'll need it back for days he is with me. It would be simpler to just buy one to use while she's with him, but I still need her to give it back to be washed (he had a rash when she washed some of his clothes for me in her fragrance detergent).
Ditto for things like sunglasses... it would be good for him to wear them esp as she takes him out for several walks a day...
I guess I'm just fighting the need to buy 2 of everything Wish she was better about keeping stuff in his bag.

 

[SBB]

Hmm not really sure how to tackle that one! Other than just keep nagging at her and hopefully she'll start doing it!
