MSE Parents Club Part 8

I don't do odd numbers either!

SS, glad to hear hubby's doing well and there's no need for surgery!

Weezl, well done on team blue if you want a squeeze of a pink one, there's one here you're always welcome to squeeze and hand back... I hear girls are harder once they can argue back

I love my maclaren, I don't care what anyone says... All umbrella fold buggies have a similar hinge and no safety concious parent would fold / unfold one whilst a small child was poking their hands around... Common sense says there's going to be moving parts and appendages could become trapped...

I'm going to sleep now... Between a snoring hubby and a snoring baby... Wish me luck!

.. Wheres Elle?

Here, lovely! Did you want me for something or just noticed the lack of my usual drivel? (I was at my Mum's getting fed too!)

Glad you got there safe Are you staying indefinitely? Do the docs all know you're away from home in case they want to get in touch with good news of some appointments for you? xxx

hmm... you are strange ... i am okay with odd numbers, but my thing is food/food juices touching each other.

YES! mine is always potato though - chips cant touch beans, roast spuds cant touch gravy etc. it is fine for me to dunk my chips in the beans, or to dunk my roasties in the gravy, but they shouldnt be in there to start cos they will get soggy. the only way i can deal with this when out with someone else cooking is to wolf down the offending ones straight away so they dont get soggy

seth wont settle tonight i think we may have a guest in our bed!! he falls asleep on my shoulder as soon as i pick him up but when i try and lay him down again he tells me rather loudly that he does not approve!

any closet BSB fans may want to look at these

Evening all

Weezl, is mini weezl v2.0 looking big, small or average? Would you like some of the 7.5lb size bits I have in readiness in case he comes early? I've already given some to Rhys' room buddie, but I know there are still some vests here and possibly some sleepsuits (and will be some tshirts once Rhys finally grows out of them)

He was measuring bang on for dates, with a week larger on the head circumference, eep:eek::D.

That's a vey lovely thought elle, but please don't hang on to anything for me, it's only an increased possibility he'll be little so I'd rather Rhys's things went to little boys who definately need them IYSWIM?

I'm ever so touched though :A:)

As well as the scan, we went to see my friend who's got a 3 week old yesterday. Oh my word newborns are so little! And light! I picked her up and it was like I was throwing her up in the air compared with the force required to lift Fergie up!

Jillie, you asked about names... DH likes Kester and Rufus and Cadmus...I suggested Felix, but we thought it maybe sounded like we were having a kitten :rotfl: I also suggested Bruno (cos I know Brunos and Ferguses make good brothers ) but DH said 'We're not posh enough sweetie'. Pah!

I've been up since 3.30. Fergie had a little coughing fit and then my preg insomnia wouldn't let me settle down.

My mum is looking after Fergie while I see clients tomorrow, so I need to be able to function, hope I can :cool:

hello helen81, welcome to the gang

Oh Weezl, your insomnia really has kicked in hasn't it, you poor thing

Where were SM and MM last night? It all went quite quiet after I went to bed so haven't had much to catch up on this morning.

After posting that I thought we were in for a bad night, I was proved wrong and we had a sleeping baby all night. Although we heard her stir a couple of times over the monitor, we didn't have to go into her at all, so an amazing night compared to the past three nights

Plans for today. Hmmm, cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning I think

It's DH's 30th a week on Monday. The celebrations are on Sunday and we've got people staying from Sunday-Monday so want to do a proper clean this week and then can just do a touch-up clean next week. When he comes home from work, he always asks if Caitlin and I have had a nice day and what we've been up to. The past week or so I've had to give really vague answers as I've been trying to sort out a DVD slideshow of photos of his life (which has involved getting photos from his friends and family and trying to scan them in secret), ordering a cake and ordering presents. Seeing as the house is about the same state as when he leaves this morning, I'm sure he thinks I'm just talking to you lot all day when in fact, I've been so busy I've barely been on here!

How is Cadmus pronounced Weezl? I know a little boy called Cadhan but it's pronounced Kai-an, so was wondering if Cadmus is Kai-mus?

I used to babysit a little boy called Rufus (many moons ago) and he was the sweetest little thing, so I love that name

Millie's mum - I would get vouchers for a hotel chain and let SIL pick where she goes and when she goes.

Em - am loving the BSB photos!!!

:eek::rotfl:
If it is any help (I am sure it is not) I am named after Giordano Bruno, the 16th century Italian monk and philosopher who was burned at the stake for claiming things like "the earth goes round the sun" and "there may not be a single all-powerful god" and so forth.
I like Rufus!

I am shattered, early meeting at work with very senior guy, but Elijah chose to wake up very upset at 3.10. I comforted him and put him down 3 times in the next 25 mins - he would be apparently asleep on shoulder but kick off violently as soon as he hit the cot. Then I let him cry for 15 mins to see if he calmed himself down at all. Then I put him in bed with OH for BF. Then I put him back in bed and settled him. Then 30 mins later I went back and settled him again. Ugh. On the upside he is still sleeping now.
