Csh - lovely picture. I am laughing at the amount of Kieren's stuff in what I assume to be your living room. They really take over don't they?!

Feelie - good luck with the nanny. Hope it goes smoothly and you can relax a bit whilst you are upstairs and enjoy the chocolate.

Weezl - put whatever you want to in your sig lol. I think most people know you on here anyway, so your fame and loveliness will ensure that you will never be forgotten.

MOTM - I keep forgetting you are Man on the Moon. I always think of you as Man of the Month!?! I don't know where I got that from, but I am sure you are Man of the Month in your house anyway (and day, week, year etc).

I can't even keep up with this thread when I am actively on it.

thanks everyone for your comments re SIL. I know she was in a very dark place at the time and she did not know that i would have to be induced that week. We had taken the decision not to tell her things as she (when on an up) would call constantly and it all got wearing and then she would go down and we wouldnt hear from her for months. wasnt sure i wanted her in our lives and also for things that had been said and done previously. (could write an essay on it).
part of me wonders if i had told her there was a possibility they were gonna induce me that week would she not have done it??? when she was on a high it was all 'i cant believe i'm going to be an auntie' and 'C's going to have a cousin'.... she had rang us the morning she did it and i took the call. think it was her goodbye call, as she rang all the relatives over the course of the day, there also had been an article in the newspaper about the effects bi-polar etc can have on your children and a story bout someone who also had commited suicide....

i think too much :cool:
i do show K her photo and say that's your auntie J...and I have told him that he wont get to meet her...


sorry i;m crying now so gonna post this and have some deep breathes. i think i need to post a thread really to get it all off my chest but i'm scared as i know posters can get a real rough time when people dont like what you have said.


didnt want to bring anyone down and sorry if i have

Sorry for your hard time and don't worry about posting, especially in here.

I understand about how some posters can be, but just ignore them, they'll say whatever the opposite of what you need to hear is anyway, it's just people looking to release their own anger and you would only be a release for them.

:rotfl: I got called Man of the Moment and MOTH in another thread :rotfl:

Thread moves so fast, I can't keep up either, so the list is a good idea. I think keeping an update would be too difficult and time consuming for anyone (I saw that suggested) although major updates could be given to the OP to input when required?

also at the centre today, they have a baby clinic before the group, so if i get there early enough he can be weighed! and straight after is the breastfeeding group, all the mummies today ahd children all of walking age 1+... might stay on for this as seemed lovely. well as long as they dont mind me staying...

i have just said a lot of it tbh...but if no-one minded, i could type something up..its more expressing my feelings... (like...i could kill her for the things she has put mil/fil. her daughter through the past few years)

i just dont like to mention it on here as it should be a happy thread but, i see you all as friends and its nothing i wouldnt say to a friend in RL.

Re the list ... Rather than giving ages (under one) which could need constant updating as we each PM to say "Andrew's (Jack, Finn etc) is now 4 months, can you please change it?" Why don't we say roughly when they were born, e.g.

Tigs - mum to Andrew, b. Aug 2009 (prem) - SAHM&D just now

Hugs Jillie. Suicide is a difficult issue. It affects so many people, and can seem really selfish, but I think that when someone is at that stage in their life, they can't think rationally. Post on here if it will help. I am glad you enjoyed your group.
Just as well you mentioned Baby Clinic! Mine is this afternoon - totally forgot about it as my day hasn't gone to plan. Will get H ready and go if she wakes up. If not, I won't bother.


Aless - I would probably go to the group as if Finn is tired, I would imagine he will sleep at some point. But if you don't think he will and he needs this nap, then put his needs first. If it's just a meet up type group rather than a class, you could go late if he does wake up. I missed our class this morning as Holly was messing about with her bottle rather than drinking it, and it made us too late to go, but I would rather she was happy, even though I was looking forward to it and the class is paid for.

Tigs - I agree, that's why I put the month/year Holly was born in my example. But I think everyone should put whatever they want and update it whenever they want (e.g. update Andrew's weight or something). It could be a good introduction for anyone who joins the thread too. But it couldn't be too detailed either or it would go on forever!

Right, I am off to do some work. I have chatted far too much today. Catch you all at some point. x

And Krystal weren't you talking about peeing on a stick towards the end of last week?

I was, and I did... Didn't get SS's bfp... And rather typically came on this morning... Which is a bit of a relief after Monday night...

I learnt my numbers in a similar way - apparently I had to read every number on every gatepost or door as we went down the street!

Aimee's 5 and she still calls out the numbers as we walk to school or the Drs...

I remember the days when every single speck on the pavement was interesting... Used to be infuriating lol.. I imagine we'll have to leave a bit earlier on the school run when it's Caitlyn's turn...

typical...Finn hasn't napped properly for 3 days (and didn't sleep much last night either). And when does he finally conk out? 20 minutes before we need to get ready to go a local mummies meet-up. I'm so torn whether to leave him (he could be out for 10 minutes or 4 hrs, there's no way of knowing) and skip it (but am quite desperate to meet local mums) or go to the meet knowing he will of course wake up b/c he needs a change, put on coat, etc. but might fall back asleep in pram?

help! what would you do?

I would go... I'd get everything read and put my coat and shoes on and leave him in the basket until right at the last minute just in case... But ultimately... I'd disturb him to go out.. (I'm probably too late with my opinion now anyway lol)

Can someone please tell Caitlyn she can't crawl under the Poang... There's a bar across the front right at her head height and she keeps getting really frustrated crawling into it...
