    Do you think I ought to start packing hospital bag yet :rolleyes:....

    Never too early. My twins were born approx 3 weeks early, so always best prepared!

    Beenie - If you like semi-unusual names, I think that Anya and Lyra are nice names without being too weird.

    Anya was considered for what became Hannah. It's a nice name, very Russkie. Lyra i've never heard of. Is that of similar region?
    MOTM - another woman in your life, I thought'd you'd have enough with your girls!

    Well, this one is older and more on my level. I needed an adult in my life and it was either a female or a male, and males just don't do it for me like that, so it had to be another female ;)

    I hope you are here to stay. I don't know why you were not here as I was away for a while myself, but I hope it was nothing serious and you stick around :T

    No weight gain though, he seems smaller actually :confused:

    Is he getting longer?
    I always found mine got chunky, then stopped gaining weight for a bit and stretched out for a while - iykwim!

    UPS have delivered our bottle to try!! and its a 9oz size!! yay! got to use it as much as possible over the next week. so its in the steriliser waiting for Kian's next feed.

    injections went well. Only cried for a little bit. and after the jabs was more like 'well i better cry, so mummy cuddles me' cry.

    sucking on his fist now :)

    i had my BP check and is fine and dandy so i am on the lowest dose and only 1 tablet a day. next time for check up is 12 months!! which works quite well as thats when we are thinking bout me stopping the pill and trying for another baby....

    Hey Feelie! Sounds like Toby is a clever wee chap! Are babies supposed to gain weight every week? This is why I never bothered to get Keira weighed! You'd just worry and fret if they didn't gain.

    Glad Kian is okay after his injections Jillie!

    Em - At least OH is getting contact with his daughter now, seems like MIL is trying to blame you in some way? Punch her!

    I really like the name "Elidah" I know it looks weird, but it's like the Scottish word Celidah but without the C, so it's said like "AYLEY" I loves it! Also Iona is a nice name....omg i'm turning into OH with the Scottish names!

    Anyones LO's watch Humf? Keira loves it but they aren't taking out DVDS or toys until after Crimbo. Poo! I love Humfs little toys, one is called Crispy cake head, so Keira when being cheeky says "No way mummy you cheeky crispy cake head"

    SS - That's good to know that she is supposed to lie lol, she's been doing it for a while, if I ask her who made the mess on the bathroom/bedroom, she'll say "Oh it was Ellie" Ellie wasn't even here!! She just laughs and runs off.

    Yup, I'm back at home. Toby likes it here, lots and lots of wires and buttons. He is currently trying to open the rabbit cage. Oh, and he can say Mum :o He crawls off, then gets upset that he is far away, so shouts 'Mum!' and starts crying and crawls over to me. Its odd, he never did the 'mumumumum' or 'mamamama' type sound, always just a single 'Mum' while looking at me. It is definitely real :D We have another tooth peeking through too, and lots of clapping. No weight gain though, he seems smaller actually :confused:
    :j:j:j for 'mum' ing!! and more teeth and clapping :D

    I like Marc Bolan's son Rolan :p

    It's a pink one, 4 days overdue, labour started at about 4am, some morphine about 6am and a little bit G&A. Mummy feeling quite sick (but she was like that after her first from the morphine) but baby Charlotte has been feeding well and feeding is pain free (it was agony with her first the whole time she BF over 6 months too).

    Toby sounds wonderful Feelie - I'm desperate to hear Molly say Mama. She giggled for the first time a few days ago and I got all misty eyed :)
    I hope you're doing ok too :grouphug:

    I think it was MFD linked to some adorable socks earlier on - I've put them on my Facebook in the hope that some relative sees them and decides to buy them for Molly :rotfl:

    hehe yay i'm loving all the name talk, i'm lurking with my notepad/spreadsheet :rotfl: Yes tia, tell me this new childs name, i'm all about the stealage :D

    Just been to put the rest of my stuff in hospital bag and sat with my dog and had a lil cry over how messed up this whole situation is. I'm almost guaranteed to be going to hospital alone when i go into labour, my friend has given me a few time/day restricted possibilities for getting DS looked after it has to fit around her work as she can't get leave, but obviously i can't predict when baby will come :confused: :rolleyes:
    It was always complicated but it was simpler before my mother decided she had better things to do than help her heavily pregnant and completely alone daughter, such as sitting on her fat stinking selfish waste of space backside all day doing nothing. Haven't heard from her in well over a week and refuse to call upon her no matter how desperate i am.

    Feeling v.emotional today, hate my ex soooooooooooo much for putting me in this position while he's swanning off living it up, especially as it was him who convinced me we were ready for this baby. Just don't know why the people who should be helping me are not interested it's not like i'm a b!tch who has chased them all away.

    Also annoyed at myself because i thought mw appt was 1pm but it's not, it's at school picking up time, when i took the appt i thought mother could help but seemingly not. So have had to ask my sister which i didn't want to do cos she's being funny with me, like i keep offering to have her kids when she's in need but she'd rather ask her neighbours and make out like i do nothing for her, if that makes sense. So it makes me feel bad if i ever ask her to do anything for me??

    Sorry, just feeling sorry for myself today, need someone to give me a slap. :o:o:cry:
