Hi everyone :wave:
Maybebaby how you didn't snap I don't know! How cute is Owen, love the sleeping pictures.
modo hope you got a great sleep!
Jolou enjoy the safari park.
Amy diet, what's that?
How long can i use the 'i've just had a baby' excuse for none of my prepregnancy clothes fitting me?!
abz well done on the expressing!
CG I took O in his pram to the hairdressers. I fed him and changed his nappy just before we left the house. The manager said if he woke up she would happily hold him until I was done. She was quite miffed that he stayed asleep
Katie I haven't left O yet, so don't blame you for not staying out long. Bet it was nice to catch up with your friend though.
Sarah enjoy your dinner out. What type of food are you having? Make me jealous!
Can i ask your opinion ladies? I cannot stand people other than my husband or I getting right in Oliver's face, it makes me cringe. He is our baby, not theirs and as he is still so little and is only just building up his immune system we don't want other people's germs all over him, especially if they are someone who gets coldsores. Am I being unreasonable or is this fair enough? It has to be said it is pretty much just my mum who keeps putting her face right in his- rubbing her nose on his cheek, kissing him.... As a result I am on edge the whole time I am with her that she is going to do it. I did mention it to her in a nice way about how 'someone' at my old work did it (they didn't but thought it nicer not to just say it was her doing it that bugged me) and it makes me cringe. She said 'oh but that doesn't apply to me does it?' so i said 'yes, everyone that isn't my husband or I.' She said she would 'try' not to do it. Now what she does instead is hold Oliver up on her shoulder so his back is towards me and I can't see exactly what she is doing, it is driving me insane and I am totally on edge the whole time as clearly she is going to do whatever she likes regardless. For instance he was asleep in his pram with the hood of it up and a sun parasol up too when i was out with her and I needed the toilet so left the pram with her and when I came back the hood was down as was the parasol and he was wide awake! She also holds out her hands and says 'come to granny' literally as soon as I have put my boob away from feeding him and then refers to him as 'her little man' erm no he is MY little boy, I don't see you at 3am! I know some exposure to germs is good for him and I am not a clean freak always wiping his hands and face and I am happy for people to hold him, this includes children holding him, it's just the in his face thing that drives me insane. When he is bigger and chooses to give people kisses that's fair enough but whilst he is little I don't want other people in his face! The same applies to people calling him Ollie, no his name is Oliver but if he chooses to refer to himself as Ollie when older then fair enough. Grrrrrrrrr I don't know whether you remember me posting about how she was telling me what I needed to do near the end of my pregnancy with regard to seeing people and we fell out over it as she was trying emotional blackmail, telling me how immature I was (when i said I didn't want to see anyone at 39 weeks pregnant as I felt enormous and was knackered)..... I thought things would be better now. Ok and breathe rant over!
On a plus I am off shopping in a little while to look for some nice new clothes as I have some Next vouchers and M&S vouchers that I got at Christmas time.
