    .. Just follow my diet elle, you'll gain weight in no time. Man sized portions of chilli, with lots of sour cream and guac, whole avacados, tortilla chips, mmmm scoff

    Avacado = food that looks like it tastes funny _pale_ :p

    apron = loose belly skin that sags right down, you can see it through clothes and have to lift it to clean under it :(

    Urgh! What a crappy day :rolleyes:

    Em (((hugs))) Seth looks so cute in those pics, very cheeky too!

    Sami, hope you get on ok at docs.

    MFD Good luck with the childminders, was it your mum who also used to childmind? Mine did too, its nice to know what to look for when your looking :)

    Chilli = Ouch :rotfl:

    Ok I have some questions, were full of them today arent we?

    Anyone with older children, do you have any experience of sleepwalking? Joshua has done it about three times in the last 2 months. Last night he did it, went to the bathroom and did a wee ON the toilet - he didnt lift the lid. I came upstairs just as he walked out of the bathroom and wasnt sure what to do. I have never encountered it before (always his dad) and it freaked me out a little bit :o He even washed his hands just didnt dry them ....
    Im even more worried as he goes away with school next week for the night. Anyone know what I should be doing?

    Lexi has a birthmark on her bum its a hemangioma and last night at bathtime and the night before she has been itching it as soon as her nappy comes off. Ive read up on them and cant find anything relating to itchiness. Do I take her to the doctors or not? The doctor has seen it and checked it out when she was about 8 weeks old. Im not sure if it just a case of maybe urine from her nappy causing some discomfort.

    We had a small crawling success yesterday afternoon, but she didnt go very far, this morning she literally zoomed across the lounge I really couldnt believe my eyes but when Daddy came home shortly after she wouldnt even get up on all fours - little tinker! Since dinnertime she has gone back to commando style crawling. But we have cracked it, Miss Lexi just doesnt want to show anyone! :rolleyes::rotfl:

    ETA Sorry Button knew I had forgotten something, just wanted to wish you luck for Thursday as I will probably foget to do it if I dont now! So Good Luck x

    Em - I think everyone has explained well already but just wanted to say as I was part of the conv last night that it was definitely not directed at you, I'm sorry if I upset you at all :kisses3:
    Seth is a beaut!! reminds me of a pic mum has of we after I'd just pulled the Christmas tree down in my walker :D
    for the draught excluder, I have a pig one that I think is from B&M bargains but if you can't find one in the cheapy shops (wilko, home bargains et al) you could get the ikea snake - pretty much the same thing. In the meantime just put a rolled up towel there.

    Feely - milknot being enough generally means bubba if draining 9oz hungry baby milk then is still hungry/ suddenly wants feeding more often or through the night after having gone every 4hrs in the day and sleeping through

    ouch at all th Chilli tales!

    Ladyb - we just do homemade gifts from Chris to daddy (I'm assuming once he's at school they'll make something there)

    Have you seen about Tesco not taking coupons/vouchers for stuff you haven't bought? http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/shopping/2009/10/tesco-outlaws-wrong-item-vouchers?utm_source=forum&utm_medium=sidebar&utm_campaign=box


    Anyhoo, last night/this morning was fun! I only got to sleep at 3am ish to be woken by Chris at 5:30 coughing terribly and scaring OH n I with his awful noisy breathing, he finally wanted to get in his own bed after some medicine just after 6am, Ed woke not long after for a feed then when back to sleep. I set an alarm to make sure I was up to call GPs at 8am but it didn't wake me/I switched it off in my sleep :confused: so finally woke up at 9:50 and called GPs who put us on the triage call list. got up and changed nappies, sorted Chris's Bfast and sat feeding Edgar when nurse called blah blah come in at 10:50.
    So put Ed in the bouncy chair, I got dressed etc went to dress Chris and he'd pooped so delt with that then noticed it was 10:50 so chucked his shoes on etc grabbed pram out of car. got Eds giraffe pram suit as he was still in PJs, realised he'd pooped but decided to deal with it at the doc (its only across the road) lay out the suit on the sofa picked up Ed and put him in it, just as I zip it up; bleugh he's sick all over it, him,sofa :rolleyes:
    so called docs had them on speaker while I sorted him out "your call is in a queue..." finally get through at 11:05 and explain why we're not there and they said come in for 11:30, clean sofa, go docs finally seen at 12 :rolleyes: after me nearly fainting in the roasting waiting room as not eaten or drank anything for over 12hrs! Ed was all grumpy coz hungry, Chris's chest sounds fine, I forgot to ask about mine. Get home, make lunch, feed Ed (who'd fell asleep on way home), catch up and here I am!! PHEW!!! I need a nap now:p
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.
