    PS- you can update your siggy now!


    Lol, just spotted that! All her fancy dress is too big! We were told to expect her to be quite big and she's a dinky little thing. I had a scan 18 hours before she was born and they re-estimated her weight to be 8lb 2 so not as big as they'd first thought and she was actually 7lb 6oz. All her clothes are huge on her.

    ooh what a cutey boggellyboo! just to pre-empt any BFing problems I suggest looking at the kellymom website and finding your local BFing group - your HV should know where they are and ask her if she knows if they are just for problems or a gossipy one (the gossipy ones are fun to go to in general but obv both are good for problems :))

    Boo, that's a lovely name and she's gorgeous! So alert!

    Baby fed and played with and asleep, but the laundry's not dry yet so I'm going to sit here with a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea.

    Thanks Krystal, those look interesting!

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

  • Eww... I seem to have Colin and Justin decorating someones house on my TV... For some reason they saw fit to discuss said house whilst scrunched up in the same bath together... I need to disinfect my eyes...

    Anyone thinking of a bike for Christmas, my top tip is take LO to try them out, We've got Chris this one, it's supposedly for age 4-7 but Chris found it much easier to ride than the 3-5 ones and he's a lil titch not remotely tall.
    I'm so excited for Christmas now! He's so spoilt - sack of pressies here then the bike at my mum's then his Gt Grandad has got him a trike to keep at MILs

    Ive found a local booby group thats quite close to me so going to try that one and there's another a bit further thats combined with a sling meet and gives help on cloth nappies so definately want to try that too. (I need to justify the huge stash of cloths in the nursery!)

    OOh, what have you got Boo? I'm using little lambs at the moment but need to be thinking of moving up into size 2 now and I'm undecided... The nappy lady has recommended bambinex to me...

    Ive got a right mix of allsorts! Some bambino mio's we got off freecycle, tots bots bamboozles in both sizes when toysrus were selling them off cheap and a full set of one life birth to potty which were £8 on the car boot so all very mse. Oh, and 2 fleece blankets waiting to be cut into liners which reading back I see you've been doing too.

    My friends think Im nuts for wanting to use them along with my sling which I was more excited about getting than my pram!
