Morning all..

Harley, of course you must share all these things with us!

Got connection issues with my laptop so I'm on OH's PC.. very weird!

You know when you just want another five minutes sleep? Well that was me this morning. As usual, Rhys had his longest sleep in the evening, 9pm to 3am, then woke for bottles at 3am and 7am. I think he went back to sleep after that (I certainly did!) but then he had me awake again at half eight, chattering and whimpering. Brought him into bed with me to see if that would pacify him but he just carried on chatting, then patting me on the face everytime I closed my eyes again! :cool:

Finally caved about 9am and he's been playing on his blanket on the living room floor since. His new thing is lying on his back, putting his feet flat on the floor, lifting his bum up and scooting round a bit. Turned himself 180 earlier!

OH is definitely on a mission to make everything calm and peaceful for our hols - he's been txting me this morning, telling me what a great mum I am :cool: If I can get Rhys to go off to sleep again soon, I'm going to make a start on wrapping his presents. Considering he couldn't think of anything he wanted, I've not done too badly

Catch up with you later.. once OH is home and has fixed my laptop, I guess! xx

I only manage to nab a nap because Keira is 3, and OH is here. Hehehe.

I'm bummed, I've had a massive 3hours sleep last night, as I didn't get to bed until 5am, as been having diawahwah and sickness. Great. What makes it worse is OH, Keira and his mum are away to the rare breed farm today and maybe a castle, but I daren't go incase I poo myself. It's not fair!! Least I have a bit of peace today though

Weezl is having another boy

Jillie & anyone else that can get the train to warrington - join the FB group Warrington sling meet and fritha will send you invites when she organises sling meets

Congratulations Weezl! :-)

And yes I will, you've got more chance of finding out about them that way, although I also post them on sling meet and I occasionally remember to come on here and update the facebookly challenged!

I was just wondering if we'd be seeing you at another sling meet you see, maybe if Fritha does another Friday one?

I plan to have a Friday one early in the month and then a Monday one later in the month as the Friday one was very popular, I'll see how it goes and maybe alter it again later :-)

I've not seen much of Fritha.

I edited that so I look important! Hello Feely! All busy with the toddler and her social life! And very busy setting up my slingy business (watch this space!) and I've caught Celia's cold! I did spy you're coming to the sling meet on Monday (12-2 at Jellybeans in Warrington *beam*) Hooray! I'll probably be there early and leaving early as my friend needs to pick her larger sprogling up from school and our trains are stupid!

Hope everyone is doing well and if anyone wants to post a catch up for me that would be lovely (thank you) :-)

Right, now, away to do some work *sigh*

Sami - surely that what grandparents are for? -- to spoil their grandchildren!? :cool:

I wasn't complaining (well i was but I don't do it to her face ) My sister can't stand it but I'm used to it and just go for the easy life, I also have strategies to sort it like I heard Chris asking for Dr Pepper in the kitchen the other night, I knew that mum would give him 'some' and that some would be 2 or 3 times what I'm ok with but my dad was already drinking a can of it so I stepped in a told Christopher to go ask Granddad if he could have a little bit of his so I could control how much he had without having to rile my mum:cool:
I'm fine with her spoilling him with toys and clothes its just when it affects his behaviour I have to step in, I had behaviour problems growing up and its not fun being the kids that parents don't want their kids playing with:o

Aww, fall outs and bum pats and stroppy babies (((hugs all round)))

Feelie, I suggest you get some card, paint and glitter and your and Toby make Reindeer Christmas cards (Sami could provide the pic?) Will give you something fun to do at night with Toby. Then make some salt dough and if you add a little oil and keep working it, it will get to a nice consistency for Toby hand prints. Bake them off and paint them when he is sleeping. Just thinking of thongs to keep your mind occupied.

yeah feely make these [LINK REMOVED]
I'm glad you mentioned phantom kicks because I've been getting them this week and was most freaked out!!
Right should be leaving the house right now but I'm here chatting to you lot in my PJs!!!

carlamagee

tiamai_d

She was at her Aunts staying overnight for the first time ever. Going to go get her now cos I miss her like mad!

Phantom kicks. Is that like when you think a baby is kicking you? Cause I've had that since I had Keira, oddly enough it happens when I'm nervous or uncomfortable, like getting a smear test, it felt like I was being pummeled from the inside. Odd stuff!
