Hi ladies, so sorry that I haven't been on. Work is crazy busy and then I'm at home with Lili or crocheting for Suz! 
What have I missed? Did Ben sleep for 7 hours?!
How are you all?
Lili's party was on Saturday. It was great fun and she had a ball! My step mum got pissed and passed out in the loo!!!
My siblings were civil to Joe or didn't talk to him, so a great success! Photos on FB soon.

Thanks girls for the advice, i think we will only get thinks like the bedroom furniture and the pram and a few PJs and nappies etc...
We are telling more and more people and also we are getting loads of offers to basically empty people's garages of all their baby crap!! (we need to be really selective!)
Jess, the party looked amazing!!! Did you make the cupcakes? they looked so yummy!!!

Hi girls! I hope everyone had a good weekend!
About the ERF, Jax is 14 months and I would guess somewhere around 24-25 pounds. He's still RF and I plan on doing it for a while. OH gives me crap from time to time but guess what he's still RF and OH is not going to get his way. I did the research and showed it to him and I've seen the crash test videos. My research showed me that even though they might have reached soem arbitrary weight or age milestone their neck and spine are still not strong enough to withstand a high impact crash. I have a Britax Marathon 70 that goes up to 40 pounds RF or until the top of his head reaches within an inch of the top of the headrest. That thing is latched in very securely and I fed the top tether under the seat to the anchor so that hting isn't going anywhere! And he's been RF his entire life, he doesn't know any better that he could be FF. He looks out the window, plays with his toys, or looks toward the front with his mirror that's in front of him. Or he just takes a nap! None of my friends or family have made any comments about it and if they did I would recite the facts and plus they know I'm stubborn and do things my way anyway. I like the saying that I'd rather have a kid with a broken leg than a broken neck any day of the week!

Over here most people put their babies FF as soon as they reach the minimum limit..: I really wonder why ERF is so unknown here.
Jess the party sounds fab! I wanted to come and give Joe evils
V how was your appt? Hope you're not disappointed with all the shit they give you! The coupons and stuff are crap!
Yeh people love palming off all their old crap on pregnant women! Don't take stuff just to be polite!

hi girls
I totally agree, if it's stuff they want back i either prefer not to take it or it would have to be something quite amazing and too expensive for us! With the pets and all I would just get too worried about stuff getting damaged.
The appt went really well.... they took about 5 tubes of my blood, I have had loads of blood tests with the clomid etc but it's been a long time i had so much taken and nearly felt a bit faint (good excuse for a muffin on the way out- my appetite is starting to come on strong!)
Heard the heartbeat and she measured it at between 135-140bpm so thinking once more it could be a boy as apparently girls tend to be more around 160
Got a bit stressed by MIL when she called tonight... and really need to get the wedding sorted out so once it's all decided and booked she won't be able to interfere and will just have to get her head round the whole idea. it doesn't help that Oliver's sister is involving her in every bit of her wedding (she went with them at the meeting with the priest tonight!... with OH's nephew in tow... she is literally bringing up her other daughter's child!)... I think she finds it really hard that I like us to handle things as a couple (and without her).
How is everyone?
Love the pictures of the party Jess.
Suz, love your friend's website, I need to improve so much still but it's great to see other photographer's websites to get inspiration! I can't wait to practise taking picture with my own baby
Talked about ERF with OH tonight, he seemed a bit puzzled but he seemed to like the principle, so maybe something we will do too

Yay you had a good appointment! Seriously the heartrate thing is so not true! There's been loads of polls etc on it and it's just an old wives tale! Sammuels was over 160 and there's nothing girly about him
Get that wedding booked and hopefully she'll see she needs to step back! You'd think she'd be occupied enough with the other wedding!
Read that link re ERF (if you didn't already) it really does explain it all well. You've got ages til that decision anyway...
Yeh my friend used to be a SOCO with me and started photographing for a living when she left. My two sisters also work for photography studios and take really good pics. Pretty handy for Sammuel pics, if only they were always here!

LoL !!!!!!!
Working this afternoon.... just got a call from SIL... once more she can't look after her child and was looking for someone to look after him... I really can't but said OH might be able to. I just wish she sorted the custody with her ex, we used to look after him regularly but her ex started getting violent and threatening to the whole family and we said we would not have her child until she has a custody agreement in place and when we are asked to look after him, her ex knows it is not his time to have the child and he doesn't come to our house drunk to see him.
But she won't sort it, yet we have to jump to the rescue each time she is stranded...
Why is it that when you are with someone, you have to deal with their family... I hate sounding like someone that wants to keep him away from his own family but to be fair, right now they are so stressful, i wish we lived a bit further away from them!

Morning girls 
Suz- no Ben has been terrible the last two nights
Up every 45 minutes last night and then up for the day at 5 How's Sammuel's sleep now?
V- glad the appointment went well. Ben's heartbeat was well above average (and still is really fast) so I think it's an old wives tale!!

Oh dear Lou 
Sammuel is still the same and up quite a bit, he is getting a bit better so hopefully it's the end of the phase! He usually has a 2 hour morning nap and he's only had an hour the last few days I need 2 hours!! 
V she does sound hideous... I agree that she needs to get a proper agreement in place otherwise it's not fair on you all. If only we could choose our inlaws!

Poor you, i can't imagine what it would be like being pregnant and looking after a child at the same time!!
My boss made me laugh, he is gay and said to me today "you look fat" I think he was trying to say I am starting to show, cause when I said I barely had a bump he said "yes. But you do look fatter than usual" i think that was his way of being nice lol!!!
I do look huge tonight but only cause I had a massive portion off fajitas! I look like I could give birth tomorrow.... Well to a Mexican kid with a sombrero!
Feeling bad about not helping SIL, OH could have moved his clients to look after his nephew but she is so unconciderate of everyone else and so selfish... Yet we manage to feel bad... I doubt she ever feels bad when she drops any of us in it!
Puppy's lump is still there so will try to book her in my other vet tomorrow... I really hope it's nothing!

It seems the lump is nothing in the end Prob some inflammation or fatty lump She was very brave and it was lovely to catch up with the vet who is a good friend.
He was very excited about the pregnancy and was asking all sort of question. Him and his wife have 3 kids and i think she wants more. He is very different to my current employer who is gay and clearly has no interest in pregnancy and can be quite funny about it all (but it's quite cute in a way lol)
How are you coping Lisa? getting any sleep?

Hi ladies, sorry... I just don't seem to get on so much at the moment... Thinks it's work and the fact that I'm home for only a few hours a day 4 days a week now...
How are you all?
Suz, I think I missed Sammuels birthday...
I'm so sorry... I hope he had a wonderful day and was spoilt rotten!
V, how are you feeling? Except fat?!
Lisa, sorry Daniel isn't sleeping so well... I have a diffuser that I put in Lili's room with eucalyptus in when she's stuffed up... I also raise one end of the cot so she's on an angel... Seems to help.
