Yay, go Benjamin!

We have light! OH put up the new light fittings today.. he hates bright light but I'm loving finally being able to see in the living room again!

Have despatched Rhys to the comp room as he won't settle in his crib so I can do some tidying in here. Going to fold washing, answer FreeCycle requests (the polite ones anyway!) and maybe even cook some tea!

ETA: Not the usual nurse coming tomorrow - she's a Children's one rather than a NeoNatal one - but I'm hoping she has some scales with her. Rhys seems to be growing rapidly longer and soon his 7.5lb vests will be too small length-ways

hi all think i have caught up! been one of those days here Abi has a throat and upper respiritory(sp?) infection, her mouth is also sore with ulcers due to being so run down with this. she was given antibiotics and lots of painkillers. i was so proud of her though as she was so grown up and told the doctor everything that was wrong let them check her over and didnt make a fuss once! usually she would be screaming! oh she has also been loosing her voice. she managed to have her party although she didnt run about much and just took it easy. she is lying here exhausted and very pleased with all her presents!

have had another argument but just cant go into it all, feeling really crap about it and cant wait til the doctors app. if i cant sort myself out soon im going to be left on my own?

weezl i look at the food things today in asda, im sure it was around £4 as i thought about getting one for erin.

mfd erin is also about crawling she is up on all fours rocking and ready to go, we have been laughing saying she will shoot off at 100MPH!

feelie thats not fair your having my fav again lol!

I always found it best not to give a time frame for feeding, just live in the now... It saves having to think of it as a failure if you don't reach self imposed targets... But you are doing brilliantly, well done! I'm sure as you keep feeding her your supply will up to meet her demand

Thanks Krystal

Choppy while ur mix feeding keep her on sz1 teats as she should be happy to take her time as she's used to BFing

Great, thank you. I seriously had no idea . She guzzles a bottle down anyway so wasn't keen on making it easier for her in case she drank so fast it made her sick, but I wasn't sure whether I was just being a mean mummy.

Oh my lord - what an afternoon! We went out to pick up my car and go for a late lunch and Benjamin chucked up spectacularly all over himself, his brother, his car seat and daddy's fancy car _pale_

He was terribly pale so we came home and whatever had upset his stomach must have left his body in the mass exodus because he was absolutely fine!!

I went to russle up some lunch for us in the kitchen only to be shouted into the living room by hubby - BENJAMIN WAS CRAWLING!!!!

He did one side of the living room to the other twice chasing DSS!!!

Yay. Well done Benjamin :j:j:j. Bet your daddy forgot about his car when he saw you

Can you not take yourself and the baby off to bed Tara? Hope you're OK hun...

On our way now. Couldn't before. He had Ben and Erin with him, he got back then tried to get Ben to bed. Seemed to have forgotten that they had missed dinner!

What is it with some people? You think they'd be a bit more polite seeing as they're potentially getting something for nothing!

Hi Angela :hello:

I saw that you'd posted the other day and meant to say hi. I'm not sure if you remember me but our bumps were due on the same day. I'm glad Rose is doing well (we picked Rose for Caitlin's middle name).

Thank you for all your support ladies! I am kind of terrified because he was already managing to get into everything just by rolling and star-fishing!!

Bilston is still reeling from the last visit of the lady with the wierd buggy

I am whispering so as to break it gently...

...you can't tell how long he is by using the scales

Glad Abi had a good day caz and hope she gets better soon.

((HUGS)) hun, and go and get some real ones off hubby and make up. When is your docs appointment?


LOL at Erin rocking, we have been having that but today he pregressed to a cross between commando crawling and lunging himself forward as far as he can with his legs!!! Whatever it was he managed to cover some ground!!!
