Moms of April/May/June 2010 babies thread! :)

modo - for the breaded chicken i buy thinly filleted chicken breast and coat it in plain flour, dip it in eggs and then coat it in breadcrumbs which i buy from a spanish supermarket and are flavoured with garlic and parsley. then i fry it in vegetable oil and blot it with kitchen paper to take off the excess oil. i don't know how many points they are but i only have a couple of points with salad so i reckon it can't be too bad, maybe 4 points a slice max i reckon i ususally do it on a day when i have points to spare so it doesnt really matter. the kids love it too. they have rice or chips with it. i can get you a packet of the breadcrumbs when i next go to spain if you like and post them to you!

Maybe that would be so kind of you! I can send you payment for them through paypal if you pm me your details Your breaded chicken sounds lovely!

Modo - If you want to make tastier breadcrumbs yourself, then toast the bread first and then rub it with a garlic clove thats cut in half before you crumb it, also, add a litttle salt and pepper to the crumbs. Also finely chopped herbs and/or paprika add to the flavour

I would try your suggestions too Emera but my stupidly expensive food processor has broken (after only using it 3 times ) and I am still trying to figure out how to return it!

 

[maybebaby3]

modo - i havent got paypal but i think i am going to sort that out as everyone except me seems to have it!!! i will probably be going shopping in spain the weekend after next as that is when danny has a couple of days off.

lc - i find that a man's idea of supervision differs greatly fro us womens interpretation of it!! i start work on may 4th and am dreading it as owen's sleep has gone from bad to worse. if he realises my boob isnt in his mouth he screams. he wont accept a dummy any more either! nice pic of will!

 

[L-C]

Maybe you poor thing I really don't know how you do it! Will is screaming in his cot now, resisting his nap.... I just wanted a quick shower x

Amy: How did your phone interview go? I am sure you did really well hon I find Bobby crawling after the pets quite funny as well! It's really nice that the girls used theirs for their toys and Alex's went to Gabriel We were really annoyed because Bobby outgrew his at 2.5 months and so we sold it on eBay long ago. We had to buy a small cot from Mothercare and a mattress as our cotbed wouldn't fit in our bedroom and we wanted to keep him there longer. We have kept the cot for any future baby.

Sarah: I have kept all of the expensive clothes my Mom bought Bobby for the next baby. At least then I'll feel less bad about their cost! Bobby barely used his Bumbo but for now we are keeping it as it's not that big. My consultant said that I can't have another baby till Bobby is 3 because of my c-section. We would like to have a 4 year age gap anyway so it's a good excuse to give relatives We keep all the packed away stuff in our loft as well but I am going to be using it as my office so I might need to rethink that!

Emera: That so cute that Roh is blowing raspberries! Bobby does it too and I always copy him which he seems to enjoy

Maybe: Well done!!! That's amazing I am so proud of you! Ok cool. Let me know your details when you have set it up and I can send you the money

LC: Great to hear from you hon! I had to laugh at Will hitting your DH with the toilet seat I am sorry you are having a hard time with Will's sleeping. Are you thinking about any type of sleep training? Good luck to your DH on his exam. Good to hear that it will be over soon and you will be able to spend more time together I have also been having a hard time with breakfast as Bobby seems to hate whatever I give him (apart from Weatabix minis). What a lovely picture of Will! He is so cute

 

[Sarahwoo]

Amy I hope the interview went well!

L-C its good to see you Will sounds like such a cheeky chap, so cute!

Modo Oliver shoout when he sees Kitty and gets all excited, he likes to chase her into a corner and shout at her and then I have to go to her rescue

Maybe do you think it might be worth sleep triaining now before you go back to work? Well done with your weight!

 

[maybebaby3]

sarah - i do want to sleep train him before i go back to work! it was the same with erin (though she'd take a dummy) and i was a wreck as i didnt sleep train til after i started work!

lc - owen screams and screams resisting naps too! he wont even go to sleep in the car no probs like other babies seem to! even erin who was an awful sleeper slept in the car!!! owen sleeps in our bed so that is the first thing i need to tackle! am going to make danny go for the cot on wednesday when he's off!!!

 

[L-C]

maybe we had a really good nap routine, but it's gone to pot again. He hasn't napped yet today. He doesn't seem to want his morning nap anymore, which was the banker! I have just put him down, no feed just a book and bed, he cried for 3 mins yesterday, 2 so far today....

Really hope you get the cot Wednesday, that should help getting started xx

Emera, Roh only has one doesn't he?? Was he shattered all morning, while you got it established?

Off to prepare dinner, he's gone quiet - yay x

 

[maybebaby3]

hope will napped lc. owen hasnt napped this morning. he seems to be moving towards dropping it too i managed to get him to sleep for just about 3/4 of an hour (which is good for him!) after lunch. well i say lunch but he had three spoons of pasta and that was it. blooming cold he only had a small petit filous for breakfast too. he is happily playing with the lego with erin for now! he has been having bm so i'm not too worried though i can barely feed from the left boob as it is still really sore and there is a crack in it. erin never bit me i think if she hadn't been so good bf i wouldn't be persevering now. erin's made owen cry. be back later xxx

 

[maybebaby3]

emera - i want to buy some silicone bakeware. do you know where i could get some decent quality things?

 

[L-C]

Well will fell asleep sat up and slumped forwards with his head between his legs, I moved him last time he did and he woke up so I tried leaving him, which was hard. He only slept for 45 mins though, must have been because he was uncomfortable. Off for a walk as he is very whingy and clinging today.

Maybe have you looked on lakeland??

 

[A3my]

very quick as I have to get the girls from school - LC lovely to hear from you. Loving the image of Will shutting the toilet on your hubby
I am now hungry for chicken in breadcrumbs!!
Interview was OK.... an experience. The more I go over it the worse I think I did will be back later. Its a gorgeous sunny day here xx

 

[maybebaby3]

lc - thanks i shall look at lakeland

owen awake screaming! be back later!

 

[maybebaby3]

owen on boob! he looks ill

amy - i'm sure it wasnt as bad as u think!!! what job is it for?

 

[maybebaby3]

LC - i looked at lakeland but they quoted a £28 delivery charge to Gibraltar for 4 things

 

[hope&faith09]

Sorry ladies ... just a quickie to say hi ... will be back on to catch up properly later!

 

[L-C]

OMG £28 that's riddiculous! Amazon do loads x

 

[maybebaby3]

thanks they do free delivery to gib! shame about lakeland though as there was some nice stuff!!!

 

[maybebaby3]

hmm have seen a set of 6 pieces of silicone bakeware on amazon as well as a nice cookie/cupcake icing set. comes to £45. damn joint accounts how do i order it without danny seeing it and saying it's money spent on crap? (it's not! i would use it! but that's what he'd say!!!)

Hola amigas!

I hope you are all ok. It has been a busy few days so I have not found time to even switch the computer on let alone post

I'm sorry for not replying individually to everyone

The weather here has been glorious today. My friend came round for a cuppa and much chatting this morning. Then this afternoon I took Joni for a walk around the local lake in the rucksack. I was quite impressed as I walked around the whole lake without stopping or resting in 45mins

I emailed my instructor about the yoga retreat to ask about facilities for Joni and to check that she and the other guests would not mind me bringing Joni. It turns out that the center can't even provide me access to a kitchen to prepare Joni's food/milk let alone anything else so the trip is a no-go. It is funny as the morning that email came through I had been out for a long walk with Joni and decided that I was not going to go. I just didn't feel it was fair on the other guests to have a noisy toddler along and I was getting all worked up about travelling with Joni on my own, to a place I've not been to before that isn't baby orientated. WHen I spoke to my friend she was mortified that she had not checked out whether Joni could come before offering the trip. Of course I told her not to be silly and that just the thought of her offer had made me very happy

Got to dash. Hugs to you all xxxxx

PS L-C lovely to hear from you
