[maybebaby3]

emera i am so sorry for your loss what a terrible thing to happen as the others have said we're all here for you

 

[Sarahwoo]

Emera I was thinking about you all night last night

I hope everyone is doing okay

Oliver is now walking everywhere rather than crawling He's pretty good though but still fall over quite a bit. He can just about stand up without pulling himself up on anything, though it he's quite wobbly and it takes a while!

We set up two weddings yesterday, one was a hotel, the other was a marquee which was in someones garden Well it was in a perfectly manicured paddock, it was stunning. The house was amazing and they had gorgeous stables and paddocks, and three really lovely horses which Oliver was able to say hello to and he loved them! Yay! I was completely green though, it was the exact set up that I would just love, completely out of our budget but I can dream!! Maybe one day!

 

[maybebaby3]

emera _ I am very sorry for whats happened. I cant imagine how you are feeling, he was only a year younger than my eldest daughter... I'm so shocked and here for you with the others, whenever you need us xxxxx xxxxxxx

mork - I wondered if she was pregnant because of the way she kept rubbing her stomach and she said her latest thing was being forgetful - wondered if it was a pregancy thing . Glad you all enjoyed the zoo - I expect it was the local zoo near us as we've got the year passport too - I think its great! Its so cool when you can just pop in! Good luck with TTC

sarah - hehe, it sounds like Oliver is a strawberry fan! Alex is the same with raspberries - we've got a load growing in the back garden and he helps himself :hehe: I'm glad being a step mum worked out so well for you in the end, Steve's son sounds great and he's lucky to have such a lovely stepmum I also agree with the others about the house price, houses auction guides are always lower

maybe - :hehe: to grounding yourself. I've done that many a time! hope you enjoyed aqualand

frufru - ahh poor Joni watching her friend play, and what a sweet little friend she sounds!. Joni does suffer with her teeth doesnt she

modo - i also have too much crap - I'd like to hire a skip to clear it all, I'm fed up with it all try not to worry about Bobby not eating, Alex has days like that and they wont starve themselves

H&F - Sorry to hear you've been down 9 weeks to go! exciting times xx

LC - Hope your four days in a row are going ok good luck with ttc !

Kerry may keep his job... we find out next week. we went out for the afternoon today which was nice. Tomorrow is meant to be lovely but I am doing a long day at the hospital thinking of you emera

 

[emera35]

[Sarahwoo]

Emera

Maybe the Aquapark looks great!!

Amy fingers crossed for Kerrys job!!!

Oliver just emptied out a bag of 100 play balls all over the floor, now he's chasing them around He's getting sooooo confident with his walking now and when we go out he jut want to walk everywhere. We went strawberry picking yesterday and he wanted to walk the whole time, either that or he wanted to sit in the strawberry plant and eat strawberries

 

[maybebaby3]

sarah - have you got pics of oliver and the strawberries?

just to let you know that muddles is fine she's just busy with the new house! i know some of us were worried about her disappearing from here! on my phone will post later.

 

[Sarahwoo]

Maybe yes I do have some pics, but they are on my phone, which is on charge so I'll be able to put them up tomorrow

I messaged Muddles too, I've been meaning to say that she's fine but kept forgetting

Emera I hope today went as well as it could

Phew its been hot today!! Esp this afternoon, its been roasting! We had to go driiving about collecting chair covers, and then we had tea outside when we got home. After tea I filled a big flexi tub full of water and let Oliver play with it outside which was a great hit, he loved it! He got absolutely soaked and so did I but it cooled him down and he had a lot of fun so we'll have to try that again - he's got a paddling pool but its sooooo quick to just fill a flexi tub and carry it outside

I have a bit of website / admin stuff to do now but I'll try to get on again later if I can

xx

 

[hope&faith09]

Hey all -

Argh sorry to have not caught up properly - Sarah it has been so hot today - Amy is now refusing to sleep - I have a feeling its going to be a long night and its so hot I know I wont settle properly tonight.

I am just trying to sort out some wedding stuff like my menu how does this sound :- poached salmon terrine for startedr, main is roast chicken with cream, wild mushroom and tarragon sauce and for pudding sticky toffee pudding with clotted cream.

Also I dont think I will get much sleep tonight as I am far to excited about trying on my dress tomorrow.

Right I am going to try and put Amy back to bed!

 

[emera35]

Hi Ladies,

Just got home after leaving at 7.30am this morning. Its been a very difficult and draining day. Seeing my Dad and stepmum was hard, they are just broken. I'm so tired of crying and feeling sad. I've decided i'll go to work tomorrow as normal and just carry on, unless my Dad decides he needs me, and then of course i'll drop everything and head to his for a while.

I hope you are all well, i did read through your posts, but things aren't sinking in very well at the moment.

 

[Sarahwoo]

Oh Emera, how awful for everyone So many unanswered questions, I can't even begin to imagine I hope you get a good nights sleep tonight and lots of Roh cuddles tomorrow

I've been messing about with my website all night, my brain is frazzled, I don't understand what I'm doing most of the time so I have to do way more thinking than normal

 

[Sarahwoo]

Phew its hot today!! I've been trying to think of things to do with Oliver to keep him cool, so we've been playing outside in the shade with the flexitub of water and a tray of rolled oats I considered blowing up the paddling pool but I'm not sure where the pump is and I don't have enough puff

We went to Walkers & Explorers today, we haven't been for a couple of weeks. I didn't know any other mums and tbh they weren't all that friendly The kids all seem to be a fair bit older than Oliver so the mum just sit about chatting and the kids get on with playing and running about, but they don't seem to really keep an eye on their kids if you know what I mean? Like Oliver was playing in the rolled oats (thats where I got the idea ) and there was a little girl playing in them too, Oliver was right the other side of the tray and was playing with some little cars and stuff and the little girl started shouting NO, NO at Oliver and snatched the toys off him, every time he picked anything up he was snatching it off him, even though he hadn't been playing with them. She was shouting really loud so Oliver got a bit upset so I picked him up and we went and played with some other stuff. I know kids get like that but surely her mother should have been watching and should have come over and told her to share? I ended up leaving early in the end, we wanted to see Steve before he went to work anyway and we just weren't having all that much fun. It such a shame because baby club was great, all the mums were really friendly, but the mums at this group all seem to know each other and didn't even say hello. Hmmm, we'll see, maybe if we keep going it'll get better

 

[Frufru]

Emera. I hope work has given you a different focus today.

Wowee its hot. Our house gets full sun on one side all morning and then full sun on the other all afternoon. Joni's bedroom is on the afternoon side so I made sure I left the curtains closed and window open in there after her nap in the hope that it helps keep it a bit cool for bedtime.

Its been super busy in frufruland with work, DIY and family. Not to mention that Joni has morphed into "dangerbaby" in the last few days. She has always been relatively careful with crawling, standing, cruising and getting down from standing. But the last few days she has been so cocky and daring with her movement so has come a cropper on many occasions She reeks of arnica cream which is amazing stuff, I am sure she would be covered in bumps and bruises without it.

I really need to go to the shops to get some bits for dinner but I really don't want to go out in the heat/sun. I have creamed Joni up and will probably put her little suntent over her buggy too (much to her disdain). I really don't want to go though

Sorry this is not a proper reply to you all will try to get back later.
