Becles - your mention of grapes earlier made me actally LOL (I don't think I have them tho :undecided is it possible they did my stitches too tight? )

Whoops - wrong hole :rotfl:I never had stiches with any of my three, but had plenty of grapes

Went to change Charlotte's nappy after lunch and noticed she was covered in spots on her tummy and back. Popped her along to the chemist in the next village and the pharmacist said it's chicken pox. Not surprised as she was playing with a little girl a week ago and she's been poorly with it since. Got some calamine aqueous cream and have to pop back for some Piriton if the itching bothers her. She seems a bit clingy and only wants me, but apart from that she's ok in herself.

James got discharged from CAMHS this morning (the childrens mental health team). They're pleased with his progress and he's coping much better with stuff now. The teacher he's getting in September is fantastic and I'm sure he'll do better at school under her, than he has done with his last two teachers. He's looking forward to going back already! Still got work to do on his relationship with his birth Dad. At the minute he has very little contact with him and ex is supposed to be sending texts or emails to keep in touch but he hasn't bothered to do that. James is just confused about why he promises things that never happen and is sick of being let down by him.

Thats good news about DS1 Becles. I hope he finds things a bit easier from now on.

Feelie - why don't you express and try Toby with a bottle today or tomorrow so you can be a bit clearer about whether bottle feeding night feeds would be an option.

Well done for today, it can't have been easy (((HUGS)))

what do i need to look for with a baby monitor? i am tempted to buy a second hand one battered off ebay, is there any reason why i shouldnt?

we havent needed one yet as we are in such a small flat, but in the house we will need one!

Feely, do you know the name of the medication? I might be able to find you some more information on it...

Emlou, I used a second hand monitor for Aimee but had to give it back when she was 9 months so I bought a new one... It's sitting in a box waiting for Caitlyn, but I haven't really left her alone yet so it's still in the box...

Get the BT 150 one We got it from Amazon (had vouchers ) and it's brilliant! You might be able to pick one up second hand but as a monitor goes I can really recommend it! It's very sensitive (but you can adjust that!) and great sound quality

Sertraline (brand name Zoloft). The KM Forums seem to suggest that it is okay to take while nursing, but I don't know how to bring that up with the Doctor, without sounding like a crazy/difficult Mum who thinks she knows better!

MFD yay for your neice :T:T:T

I can't remember anything from 7cm til pushing!

Fergus is very happy with all his new facebook aunties :D

Emlou, we really like ours because it senses motion and breathing and will let off an alarm after 20 secs of neither. Good for our peace of mind! But then you've been just fine til now without, so prob ok! Here it is if you wanna looksee though xxx

feelie, for its worth i agree that it would be better to have you in a healthy frame of mind than for toby to have boobie milk he needs a good and capable mummy, and he really isnt going to mind what he munches on

do you think its worth spending out on a posh digital monitor rather than a old second hand one? or is it just that we think differently about the prices of things i have to think long and hard about spending any more than £10 on anything

oh I don't feel I can say now cos the truth is so much less glamorous ;)



oh go on then

well the London train was to get to Bristol each day, and I work in mental health. As it's with young people, the concern was that they might look me up on fb and it would blur boundaries.

As for being everyone else's fb friend and not yours.... as if, you noodle!

Cant you just make up a profile with your username and not put any pics up, i beleive a fellow MSE'r does this.
