Argh! I wrote Davies but I meant Jen
So sorry for the confusion! Tired baby brain here...

 

[petitpas]

Croy, love your balloon reveal picture, too! (I do mean Croy, don't I? )
Have a lovely weekend!

Fili, my Dad wanted to call me Penelope Jane. I'm glad my mum got to overrule that idea...

 

[heart tree]

Just popping in to say hello.

I'm feeling overwhelmed by baby furniture! I think I found a few crib options and changing table. We're going to use a dresser and put a changing pad on top as we don't have a lot of room for separate pieces. I'm looking at gliders and ottomans and a bedside sleeper. So much to buy! We went to Ikea, Babies R Us and Target.

My husband's two cousins just gave me bags of their maternity clothes. They both had babies last summer and both offered me their infant car seats! And one of them uses cloth diapers and offered me her newborn ones! Score! She's also giving me a little bouncy chair. Score again! And they have lots of clothes to give me.

Jen, Aaron's ADHD has nothing to do with your parenting. It's something that's biological. My step-father had it and passed it to my brother. I lived in the house with both of them. They were both a bit hyper active and didn't always focus, but it wasn't too bad. I think the older the person gets, the easier it gets. You just need to hang in there, he'll be a fine man. And you are a wonderful mother.

Croy, I was wondering if that was you in the picture! LOL! I didn't want to insult you by telling you that your bump looked non-existent. I showed my mother as I couldn't believe how skinny "you" looked. My mother tried to convince me that there was a bump there but we just couldn't see it under "your" loose shirt! I'm so relieved to find out that wasn't you!

Sorry, I can't remember what else I read. Back to looking at furniture now.

Heart- I got a dresser and will get a changing pad. Make sure you try out the gliders if you can, I haven't liked 98% of them I've sat on (tried out about 25 so far) people seem to like dutailier or best chairs, they are the only two I've liked. Smooth rocking. And they say to get one that reclines too. I'm torn between the all upholstered and those mostly upholstered ones with wood showing on bottom. But those all upholstered ones are very comfy.

 

[heart tree]

I can't fit an upholstered one in the nursery room. Too big and bulky. I need to get the other kind and I want an ottoman glider too. I've read the dutailier are good, but they are so expensive. But you're right, I need to sit in them and try them. I would hate to get one and then never sit in it. I'll take a look at the Best ones. Thanks for the tip!

 

[jenny25]

Thank you all so much for your help it's just hard I want my son too be happy and all he seems is angry lately I don't think he has been havin the right support at school singe is taken it out on me now he has started running rings around me I just want us too move and hopefully that will change cause he needs a routine and st the momen it's like he has 3 parents at the moment x

 

[daviess3]

Ah Jen, i feel for you my lovely, but if the school aren't being as supportive as u need then tell them or go higher? I hope you can get something sorted soon for urs an Aaron's sake x

I keep waking up at 430am then can't get back to sleep coz of the birds singing! Now got national grid digging up my driveway as we don't have enough gas coming into the property! That's y the new boiler keeps breaking!! All fun! Haha x

 

[petitpas]

Jen, I'm no expert but I've heard that exercise helps children with ADHD work off some of that extra energy. Is there any chance you can get hubby to take your son to a park to play footie or something this weekend?
I bet you're a fabulous Mum

Heart please be careful with car seats. Thats one of the things you should always buy new enless you no 100% the usage of the car seat. it could have been dropped, banged or other things.

My 3 year old nephew just called me (!) and said as clear as anything "hello aunty melly, are you ok? Miss you, thank you for London bear, I look after him!" he just got his fab nursery report so I blew him lots of kisses and said he was a clever boy. I said, "aunty melly loves you lots and he said, 'I love you too aunty melly!" then said byeeeeee. I'm called Mel btw! My sister said he wanted to ring me cos he was wondered where I was!! They live in Cheshire which is near manchester and a four hour drive away. Sooo upset now. As soon as we have kiddies I am moving back there, that is my dream! My nephew doesn't like his teacher and he said he wishes I was his teacher cos my sister told him I was a teacher. He is such a character. When I last saw him he packed all his toys in a wheelie suitcase for his size just to go to Starbucks round the corner with me. Then unpacked them when we got there. He also asked the lady for a 'baby chino' and said please and thank you. I was so proud of him, pretending he was mine of course cos I had him all to myself. Then I took him round the supermarket, sitting him actually in the trolley not the seat and he wanted to go faster. We stopped at the fish counter to show him and he said: "fish not working aunty melly" . He can count to twenty and knows his address, all the Colours and half the alphabet! He is starting a private school where they have to wear little hats so I am hoping that by the time he does I can get a job there and be living near my sister! My sister is pushing him with all the school stuff already but he is picking it up so don't see any harm in it.

 

[filipenko32]

So upset now though, really miss my family

 

[filipenko32]

Hope the boiler gets fixed soon Davies, it's actually cold ATM isn't it? And cold showers.... Remind me of schooldays after pe they were always cold!!! Hated that!

 

[hopeful23456]

Fili that boy sounds so precious! I'm 3 hours from my family and would love to be back there. Feel alone living here...

Davies- I was up at 4 to 5 and the birds kept me up too!

Heart- yeah, u can't fit an upholstered one in mine either , room is only 10x10...was going to put it in the spare room right next to it. What I wouldn't give for a big room.

Saw this on babycenter forum and it was kind of funny. They have boob awards in their signatures so I found out what they mean. For example, this would be in a signature:
(.Y.) -**Golden

Here's what it means

How long you breastfeed a child.* So if you have two or more los you could different awards.
3 mo: bronze
6 mo: silver
1 yr: gold
18m: platinum
2yr: diamond
I have also seen platinum for 2 years and diamond for 3, so.... Thats the basics at least.
I also found this a got a kick out of it:
Boob types: hehe
Fake Silicone Boobs ( + )( + )
Perky Boobs (*)(*)
Big Nipple Boobs (@)(@)
A Cups o o
D Cups { O }{ O }
Wonder Bra Boobs (oYo)

Ha ha love the wonder bra boobs! Mine just look like saggy balloons! Breast feeding didn't wreck them though they were crap anyway! (I got the gold award btw!)

 

[filipenko32]

My boobs are the best they've ever been ATM! I am so proud of them hahaha they don't droop like they used to but i would prefer for them to be knackered after breast feeding any day of the week!

 

[filipenko32]

I always get my hubby to have a squeeze and then that leads to he is so easy! except when football, golf or poker is on telly then I get ignored whatever I do!

 

[petitpas]

Aw fili, my nephew just went back to Germany yesterday so I feel with you on the distance. Yours is too cute, though! Calling you up to tell you those fun things! Do you Skype with him?

 

[petitpas]

Hopeful, those are hilarious!
I am closest to the D cups but think they ought to be renamed. I'm an FF

 

[filipenko32]

Omg pip you're a genius! When I get back after Hols Ill get my sister to set up Skype! Hw stupid am I

I'm proud to say that my boobs are (*) (*) but when I go on the Roids in a week they will be V V and (.) ( . )
