Anyway, thats beside the point, my baby is improving loads, and he opens his hands loads now, still not for very long, but enough that we know he can do it !! Also he can hold his head still for a few mins now too, which is fantastic !!

:T It's so good to hear that he's progressing.

Do you not need a thermometer to check the temperature of the jam Susan?

It probably depends on the recipe. The one I used said to cook it until the liquid had gone down by half then add the sugar, bring to the boil again and then it's ready.

I agree with ur OH. unless he wants to see him and is going to keep up the contact by phoning/sending letters/emails regularly between regular visits don't do it.
Aston needs someone who'll be there when HE needs them not when they feel like it. your OH sounds like a much better influence on him anyway
5 kids by 5 women... methinks someone needs to learn how to used a condom is he paying CSA?

Haha him? pay CSA. thats a bloody joke!
I gave them plenty of info where they could of tracked his NI number but oh no, they couldnt find him :rolleyes::mad:

AM with zoes sperm donor i gave him one chance when she was 2 ish ... either be in her life or f*** off now and never come back ...... 3 days later i got a text saying philips her dad (well durrr he raised her) so look after zoe ..... and that was it best thing he ever did but at least i can always say i gave him that one chance and it was him who decided to walk away x

Do you know what, I've bent over backwards to try and get him to be a dad, I drove from my house to Newcastle so he could see his son, on my own with a 3 year old, 336 miles each way, and after I cam home I never heard from him, the !!!!!! :mad:

Oh, AM... The bloke that got me pregnant the first time has had a million chances to see Aimee... He visited her about 4 times between christmas and her 3rd birthday (March) then fell off the face of the earth again... We bumped into him in town about 8 months later and he told me he'd been planning to call me the next day (funny that!) I ended up losing my rag and telling him he was no good as a father... If he were to knock on my door tomorrow and ask to see her I would say no... She has a very stable life now, as far as she is concerned Hubby is Daddy and I wouldn't want to disrupt that and end up with her being let down again... She knows about him... She still remembers him, but she accepts that he is a 'silly man' who doesn't come to visit any more... When she's big enough, I have enough information that she could track him down if she wanted to... But we'll cross that bridge in the future...

Aston has asked several times if OH can be his Daddy, it just broke my heart when he almost cried and asked me why his real daddy doesnt come to see him, it's only really started since Ry-Ry- was born, the poor little sod.

Elle - I have the cosatto hogarth cotbed and I will go and check how much room is underneath for you now, back in a sec!

elle_gee

Hey stranger! Was thinking about you the other day, wondering if you were still lurking with us How are things with you? Bronwen doing well? (really hope I've spelt that right! )

Oh, I just found out that a girl I work with who lost her baby boy last year at 24 weeks is pregnant again with a baby girl !! She is 14 weeks and had a big scan done a couple of days ago to check her placenta as that was part of the problem the last time and they were aboe to tell her its a girl

mollythewestie

Yep, you spelt it right!
I am good thank you and still lurk about from time to time, although she keeps me busy, so I don't have time to keep up with you chatter boxes!

I measured the space under the cotbed with the mattress on its highest setting. There is a height of 18"/46cm underneath, however the drop side of the cotbed covers some of this which means that there is only 8"/20cm clearance (hope this makes sense!).
