    Urgh, Ambers nappy just leaked again. And I changed her as soon as she stopped grunting too. How?! How?! How can she manage to squeeze it out the smallest tightest little gaps? Now her tights are mismatched to her dress, lawrks!

    Krystal, sounds owchy! Hope she settles down for you.

    Tigs, fairies are wonderful :D

    hugs bruno and E.

    Annabel no better either. Our girly shopping trip has been cancelled and we are snuggling together on the sofa. This is the same baby I was telling you only this week that she never gives cuddles! Poor wee lamb.

    hugs to all poorly babies and to those who are well (but no cross contamination of germs please!)

    Bruno – sounds like Elijah is on the up! Hopefully what ever it was has passed now. OK, I read on, maybe not. Hugs anyway!
    And hope Edgar is over his too.
    I’m facebook friends with my Mum and MIL – but i’m an angel :whistle:and don’t get up to anything they can’t know about! However Bruno’s way is very sneaky – but clever! :T
    Bruno – I ordered from Snapfish last night for my 20 free prints (Had to use OH’s email add as i’d already had mine!), but i notices the 2-4-1 calander offer.
    Glam – don’t look at other websites - they're rubbish! :p
    Krystal - Ouch! Hugs for your nipples - but not in a gay way! :o
    Buttons - my DD is 9, and still a PITA at bedtime. :mad: (Sorry!)

    :eek: We just had our first explosive poo. I left Alice in "big girl pants" rather than "special pants" (aka pull ups) because she was having quiet time in her room rather than a nap. Five minutes later she started shouting for me and wailing. The only item of clothing which escaped was her socks. It also got on the underneath of the door as some fell on the floor and got caught on the door when I opened it. And she has a hideous yellow carpet which caomoflages the poo. Took me 25 minutes to get her sorted out and we have no washer at the moment 'cause it's broken.

    Omg, my mum's requested me as a friend on FB, what do I do?!!
    I accepted my mum and then the next day she deleted her account because she works in a school and realised the school kids would be able to find her.

    Bruno - glad the dia-woo-woo seems to have stopped. I received an email from BonusPrint last night with 25% off calendars. The code is CALENOCT9. I don't think I'm supposed to put it on here, but never mind :D.
    My mum isn't on FB but my MIL and GIL (Granny In Law :D) both are and I'm friends with them.

    Krystal - Happy belated birthday hun. Glad you had a good time in London. My nipples are suffering too. Caitlin bobs on and and off the booby loads now (apart from in the middle of the night) and when she bobs off, she has gotten into the habit of pinching my nipple with her nails. It hurts soooo much!

    Thank you to everyone for the advice on Caitlin and her mouth/crying fits yesterday. We haven't had any more of the crying/screaming since yesterday lunchtime, so I hoping it continues that way. I went to get her weighed yesterday and it was the b!tch HV, but luckily she was busy with someone else and another lady weighed her. I'm not sure if she was a HV or not, but she was lovely. I explained about her mouth and she said it definitely seemed like teething and apparently teeth can seem to be going and then come back again. However, what Sami said last night seems to ring truer to me - they are definitely white spot lumps, not white line lumps, so I'm still not convinced it is teeth, although she is almost always in a bit now due to the constant drooling.

    Glam - I don't always do this, but on the days I do, it's a big help. DH always takes a packed lunch to work, so whoever makes it will make sandwiches /wraps for me too and put them on a plate covered with clingfilm in the fridge ready for the next day. I also get out the fruit/chocolate biscuit etc that I will eat with it and put it all together. The next day I just have to get it out of the fridge and I can sit cuddling Caitlin whilst I eat it. She was very clingy in the first few weeks and loved me holding her, so this was a real life saver. I haven't done it today (only had enough bread for DH), so I've had a bowl of cereal instead. I don't know if that is helpful or not?
