    My Mollster was very good - the doctor and the nurse each took a chubby baby thigh and put in one needle at the same time. She wailed like a tiny banshee but is already smiling again. We're expecting all manner of crankiness but for now she seems ok. Much better than I am, much to my surprise I burst into tears as soon as she let out her first outraged yell.

    Poor little monster - and in Germany they pile all the jags into as few visits as possible, so the next one's not till she's 9 months old. Unless we accept their recommendation for a vax against tick-borne encephalitis and one against flu.

    I'm torn on flu - it's only one strain so may not be effective, but I work in a hospital so I'm technically front-line. Still, I never get the vax and never get the flu, but she's much smaller.

    And now to the post office. Busy day, lots to do.

    I've called my bank, they've given me a fax number for someone from the restaurant to fax and inform them the money won't be claimed... I'd rather they checked with their bank too that the money definitely won't be taken out... Similar happened in Ikea a while back, my reciept said cancelled on it and I thought I wasn't being charged but the money still paid out...

    Don't be afraid to go to clinic, you're not going to be told off, they're there to help you :)

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Hiya Feely,

    Sorry to hear you've had a miserable night/morning.Sounds as though things were going in the right direction though, maybe just a little set back.

    Can I get in on the graph? What do you need to know? Do you want me to PM the info?

    She's ok, still sleeping through though not that settled by day. The reason I tried formula was I thought she was hungry!
    Too many children, too little time!!!

    maybe a fellow MSE'r could put you up for the night?

    I think Miss Vicky is trying to get us a group discount at a travel inn or similar. I suggested to OH we could have a dirty weekend away in Wolverhampton, in a travel inn family room, with 3 kids! How romantic - he didn't look keen. :confused:


    I'm off to the denstist in a bit - i'm scared! Its a recurring abcess, thats been coming and going in the same spot for years! I have a feeling he's going to whip the tooth out, as years of other fillings/treatment haven't worked.

    Then to pack DD1's suitcase. She goes on her first school holiday on Wednesday morning, til Friday. She's so excited!
    It sounds great, dorms with 6 girls in each, ensuite facilities, and a full english breakfast in the morning! :D
    Then its her birthday next Monday - but we've moved the sleepover until the following Saturday. If it was this Saturday, after two nights of no sleep - I imagine they'd all be overtired and horrible!

    If anyone else is wanting on the graph, let me know. Older kiddies welcome too if you can dig out weights.

    http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AoTDsqSJaVbCdDBuRC1XMS04ZXpuVVM5eW54M2pDdUE&hl=en

    Is there a limit on how many weights you want. I have about a years worth for Henry but theres about 27 of them?

    Hope things are better soon with OH..hugs to you.
    Mum to 2 lovely boys who keep me busy.

    You don't really want to stop in wolverhampton-its a dump :o believe me, lived there for several years and OH works in the city centre and it's gone downhill over the past few years. I'd go somewhere else!!

    I will dig mine out later Feelie if you don't mind.

    I'd be interested to see my DS's. All three were similar weights at birth, but Joe was a huge fat pudding by 6 months old! :o

    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.
