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

Hmm, Sarah, there are a few ways to make a cheese sauce, most of them reasonably simple, but...i think the easiest way to make a creamy cheese sauce would be to just stir in a few spoons of cream cheese, like Philadelphia or something, and then add in a bit of finely grated mild cheddar when the cream cheese melts. If you want it a bit thinner, just a little splash of milk will do that :thumbup:
 
Oh and for tomato sauce, i just cut up half an onion, fry it for a few minutes, add some tinned tomatoes, then a pinch of salt and a pinch of sugar. Boil it until the juices are thick (like 5 minutes or something for a small batch) and then blend it, so its nice and smooth. I'll often make it like that and then chop up some fresh tomatoes, cook them for a bit and add the sauce after so it has some texture :)
 
Well, I've had three hours sleep :cry: :coffee: :cry:

Oliver slept great until Steve came to bed, he woke up and got all excited and then wouldn't go back to sleep! If it had just been me I would have stayed in bed but Steve is up at half ten for work. Having said that I have a wedding today too :dohh: But Oliver was making so much noise, Steve was getting grumpy so I just got up. He's watching ITNG and I'm really hoping he starts feeling tired again soon!!!

I think I'll be going to bed with Oliver tonight :haha:
 
sarah i feel your pain. i went to bed at 1am and owen woke at 5am coz of the time change! :dohh: erin was up by 6 and dylan at 6.30. its not going to be a good time til they get used to it.......if they get used to it!

emera how scary! hope you're allowed off bed rest soon!

well today we're going to take the kids to the park for a bit. then i have to clear up as the cleaner starts tomorrow :happydance: i want her to clean, not clear up. hope she's good! it's only 3hrs once a week but i reckon it 'll make a difference!

tomorrow we're going to a halloween party and then my friend and i are taking the kids trick or treating and then going back to hers for a takeaway :)
 
emera - :hugs: I'm so sorry to hear what you've been through. That must have been so frightening. I'm sure the docs/midwife will look after you. Steriods make a huge difference to babies lungs if anything does happen. Fingers crossed baby will stay put for now. :flower:

Janny - :wave: hi!

Maybe - yey for half term, disney and a cleaner!! boo to early wake-ups :dohh:

sarah - :hugs: hope you managed ok at the wedding today :hugs:

I've had a topsy turvey weekend. Kerry and I had a huge well... not argument ... disagreement. things much better now. i've been an utter pig this evening :blush:
 
Evening!

Amy I'm sorry to hear about your 'disagreement', sometimes its good to clear the air though :hugs:

The wedding went well thanks :thumbup: I'm not doing balloons again mind you :haha: For the profit its just not worth it. I bought some special stuff to make the balloons float for longer, we tried it but well, the balloon looked like a dead fish :haha: It floated on its side instead of 'upright', so we didn't use it in the end. I must have been doing something wrong. I have agreed to do balloons for a wedding in January but after that I'm going to say no.

I ended up calling the RSPCA re the ferret. They are going to collect it tomorrow, so thats good :thumbup: I was starting to feel a little bit stressed about it so I'm really glad that that little drama will be over.

Right, well after about 4 hours sleep last night I'm off to bed! Steve finished work at 9pm but he's gone out with his friend. He had a really bad night at work last night so I think he needed to relax and chill out a bit. He had one guy get abusive with the dealer / other customers one one of the tables so he asked him to leave, and the guy tried to hit him! :shock: Luckily one of the door staff jumped in. They threw him out but it sounds like there was a lot of drama with him and it ended with the door guy sitting on him until the police arrived :haha: And then they had another punter put his fist through one of the gaming machines :shock: So that was another door staff / police situation and then today he's had 'The CSI Guy' in dusting the machines for fingerprints. So I think he deserves to chill out a bit :haha:
 
amy - glad things are better with you and kerry :hugs:

sarah - hope you get a bit more sleep tonight!!!

we went to the halloween party and then trick or treating round the estate. pics on fb!

my cleaner came. she seems nice though i think i could do with having her 10hrs a week and not just 3 :rofl:

really looking forward to our disneyland paris trip. anyone been before? if so any tips?
 
Love the pictures Maybe! :) I went to Disneyland Paris like 18 years ago or something, it was pretty new, so i doubt i'd have any useful tips being that i was a teenager when i went ;)

I want a cleaner!
 
Lovely pics maybe!

Amy glad you talked about things with Kerry.

Sarah: that Hu sounds nuts! Sorry the balloon experiment didn't work :(

Emera: I am so glad the contractions stopped and you and the baby are ok. That's sounds so scary :( glad you are getting some rest hon :hugs:
 
it's super quiet in here again! hope you are all ok :hugs:

we leave for disneyland at 3am tomorrow night as the plane leaves malaga airport at 6.45am. hopefully by 11-12 we'll be in disney :) there's no free wifi in the hotel so i shall catch up with you all on sunday when we get back or if not then on monday xxx
 
Evening!

Maybe I hope you have a great time at Disney!

Modo how is Bobby's sleeping? How are you feeling?

Well what a day I've had :wacko: This will be long - I need to get it off my chest :haha:

To begin with, I bought a footmuff yesterday for my Mamas & Papas Frankie, got it home and it doesn't fit, even thought its the proper M&P's footmuff to match the pushchair :dohh: The pushchair on display with the footmuff on had poppers to attatch the muff to the pushchair, but my pushchair doesn't have any poppers! So I called customer services this morning just to see if my pushchair was faulty or anything or what I should do. Well I was on hold for ten mins and then got through, explained the problem, and OMG the woman was SO rude! She had SO much attitude, I ended up taking her name and I'm going to complain about her. I was asking a really easy / simple question and she was just so rude! She end up saying look, just take it back if you don't want it, its not hard is it?' :shock: So I ended up taking it back to the factory shop at Hudderfield (I bought it in York). They were soooo nice, they said they couldn't take it back there and that I'd have to take it to York :dohh: I told them the whole thing with the rude woman and everything and the manager ended up coming over and speaking to me. She was lovely and said that when I bought it they should have explained about the poppers, and also they should have said that I had to take it back there if I wanted to return it. I was almost in tears :blush: because I was all stressed out so she said right, sod head office, I'm going to sort this out my way :haha: So she spoke to the guys in servicing (based at the same place) and I'm taking my pushchair in tomorrow and they are going to fit poppers to it! :happydance: I'm still going to complain re the 'customer services' woman though!!!

So on top of that, in between speaking to the rude woman and going to the store, the RSPCA came for the ferret. It was nicely asleep in its box / blanket. Well she picked it up, started messing about having a look to see what sex it was (like I care lol!), put it back in the box I had it in while she was messing about - but didn't shut the lid :dohh: So obviously it made a run for it, she grabbed it but it bit her so she dropped it and iit ran off :dohh: :dohh: :dohh: She tried to catch it for about 10 mins and then said oh I'll never catch it, you'll just have to see if you can get it later and call us again :shock: I was SO pissed off! On top of that she didn't wipe her feet / take her shoes off when she came through the house and instead of just walking on the woodern floor walked all over my lovely Habitat rug, so when she'd gone I realised she'd trodden mud all over it :cry: :cry: :cry:

I was feeling so stressed about everything :cry: I felt better after I'd been to M&P's though and then after lunch I decided to be brave and try to catch the ferret, so while Oliver played in the yard and shouted 'Whats That?' a lot :haha: I tried to catch the runaway. It took me about half an hour but I got it in the end :happydance: I was so proud of myself - my hand was shaking trying to catch it :blush: I had huge gloves on too :haha: I felt SO much better then though, I was really worried that it would get the chickens :( So the RSPCA are coming again tomorrow and no way are they coming through the house, I'll send them around the back. I had to let the mud dry on the rug and then hoover it LOADS, and then clean it, and now it looks okay but I'm so pissed off that a) she let it go and b) she trod mud through my house!!!

Phew! Thats better :haha:

I've also had an idea for expanding / changing my business which could really do well and could really fit in perfectly. So my head is thinking about that a lot and I'm trying to make time to research it and stuff on top of everything else. I've managed to get some stuff written down tonight so thats been good :)

Steve has been telling Oliver about stars, so now he says 'stars' and points to the sky if you ask him where the stars are :) Steve took him outside tonight to look at them and he got all excited, So cute! He says so many words now, and he learns so quickly! Its amazing! He started saying 'Ball' today too - we were reading a book with a ball in it, and then he went and dug his ball out from his toy box and brought it to me saying 'ball' :)
 
Maybe- Have a great time :)

Sarah - Gaah, Nightmare day :hugs: glad everything is ok though.

OH has done something to my computer and i now can't use exclaimation marks, as if i try it just changes the sound and appearance of my desktop instead? I don't know what the hell he's done, but i feel debilitated and unable to express myself properly, huff huff huff :sulk:

On the plus side we have FINALLY decided on baby names, we've actually started to argue about it this week, so i'm really glad we decided :happydance:

I'm having some really heavy duty nesting urges at the moment, its getting quite out of hand. Today i ended up having to get up and do some cleaning and re-arranging. I feel like i might have overdone it a bit, but i feel fine and no contractions. I'm just going stir-crazy not being able to leave the house for over a week now, and there is so much bugging me. I'm probably losing perspective because i'm shut up at home. MW comes to check on me tomorrow, i'm hoping she says i can carry on and do normal life stuff as long as i take it easy :thumbup:
 
emera - please take it easy!!! are you allowed to tell us what names you have chosen?

sarah :grr: to the customer services at m&p and the rspca woman! well done for catching the ferret again!

owen said his first 3 word sentence the day before yesterday. he was throwing a little ball around and it rolled under the living room table and he pointed at it and said 'ball' and then 'i get it' ! :cloud9: so cute. now he keeps pointing at stuff and saying 'i get it, i get it' :haha: it's amazing the speed at which they develop.

anyways i should get off my bum now. i tried to book our seats on the plane online but as we're travelling with owen who's under 2 we have to bok in at the airport :growlmad:

dylan wants to look the disney website at the rides now so i'd better let him have a look!

:hugs: to all xxx
 
Emera fingers crossed for the midwife appointment! I remember the nesting lol, cleaning the skirting boards on the stairs at 3am :dohh: Yay for names!! Hope you get your computer sorted soon!!!!!!!!!!! :haha: On my netbook I can't get the pound sign so I have to cut and paste it :rofl:
 
Well, yay, since i've had no more contractions the midwife is really happy with everything, strong heartbeat, soft tummy, cervix closed etc. So i'm allowed to walk about a bit, stroll to the park etc. BUT i still have to take it really really easy. Yay though, freedom! I'm going to go to my concert in London tomorrow! :happydance: Its a sit down classical type concert, rather than a gig, so i'm sure i'll be fine :) Its just the train then a single tube journey, so not a trek or anything :thumbup: I'm excited :)
 
Wow sarah! What a day you had! I can't believe how rude that lady from M&P was to you :growlmad: an the RSPCA lady :dohh: Bobby I sleepin better, thanks for asking :hugs: no more night waking and wakes up at 6am.

Maybe: well done Owen with his sentence! Hav fun at Disney

Emera: hope the MW visit goes well :)
 
I did manage to slip in the kitchen today and bang my tummy into the counter-top though! Serious ouch :cry: It really hurt, but i went for a lie down after i did it, and everything seemed fine, it was just jarring, and scared me a bit. I am trying to be careful, honest!!

Oh, and yay, my !!!!!!!! button is fixed!!! :haha:
 
emera - it's scary when you bump your bump but baby is well cushioned in their amniotic sack! enjoy your concert!! oh any yay for !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

modo - glad bobby is sleeping better!

sarah - hope today has been less hectic.

well all is packed and alarm set for 2.40am :sleep:
