    Morning all..

    Grandad's on his way to whisk Rhys away for a day of Grandparent fun :D Rhys however is still blissfully asleep. Going to lift him from crib to carseat and out the house, and cross my fingers it works! ;)

    Talking to OH last night, we're going to go away for the weekend for my birthday at the end of February... and let Rhys stay at Mum's! :eek: That'll be just enough time for me to get my supply back up, then bu99er it all up again with having an expressing free 40hrs or so :rolleyes: Still, it means I get a treat and to be just me briefly again. We're going to go to the York Hilton, Bettys tearooms, nice meals out - basically lots of food and sleep! :D

    Oh, last night, my friend said on FB her LO had conjunctivitis so I said to put EBM in it. She did and it's worked already! Yay.. wouldn't have known about that if it wasn't for you guys :D

    Catch up with you all later, once I have a clean shiny house again.. Hmm :cool: Hope you all have lovely Sundays and the big kids have a nice last day of the holidays :) xx
  • Beenie your pictures are adorable :) I keep seeing all these pictures of teeny babies and they make my broody - this great lump is brilliant but I want another tiny one. Need to move again first though :(

  • Elle that sounds lovely. we are going away for a whole week for my birthday because it is my 30th 0 I decided to use it as an excuse for me to choose where we go for once ;) Izzy is coming with us, so lots of petting farms and what not will be on the cards I expect. I've managed to find a caravan park with swimming pools and a soft play too, so we can just play there if we want (and fishing for DH, and crazy golf for me!)

    Morning all... I've just been and ordered from the body shop too... Thanks Em :cool:

    Supposed to be going to church this morning but Caitlyn has this awful cough and had 2 great green candle sticks hanging down, I have a sore throat thing that feels suspiciously like tonsilitis... But I had them removed in 2007!... And Madame went back to sleep and only just woke up so we don't have time to get ready now anyway... Although my friend who is always late just txt to offer me a lift... I think I'd rather not go than be late though...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    I had the sore throat tonsilitis pain for a couple of days and worse yesterday. Mine out too but I still get it! It was all that horrible way when you swallow only half goes down cos the sides are so swollen. Lovely. Anyway, feel lots better today! Sweeling right down on 1 side so hoping it was just a viral thing and I'm on the mend

    ETA think baby has a wee sore throat too cos hes fussing over all his bottles and only taking about 3oz of a feed. I've started feeding him his bottle when hes napping so by the time he wakes up and realises whats going on hes had half his feed. Sounds a bit mean but its the only way I can get it into him
  • Day 5 in the Poorly MFD House...


    Benjamin is mostly better, although is still having nappy and vest escaping poopies _pale_

    Hubby is still keeping the bug at bay despite having several symptoms and is being a rock helping with feeding and cleaning the poorly-sick :(

    DSS was banned from visiting and nobody has left the house for 4 days to contain the germs.

    MFD has been too poorly to switch on the lappy :eek: and has had projectile fluids from every orifice _pale__pale__pale_


    V. v. v. poorly :cry:


    Hope everyone else is better than me.

    Happy New Year.

    Aw MFD. Poor you lot!

    I think V's explosive and v.v.v. smelly nappies lasted for a few days after the sickness had stopped.

    Cleaning up poop and sick is not good when you're feelong poorly yourself.

    ((Hugs)) MFD and Benjamin, we all had a similar bug over christmas....hopefully you are all on the mend now:)

    Might nip out and get a fireguard today, I am petrified of Kai falling and crackinghis head on the marble base (which has very sharp edges/corners)
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    Hi :o promised myself I wouldn't login but bored stuck under a feeding baby. I've been left at the chalet with the boys, I'm feeling very grumpy, lack of sleep and a long journey have left me finding fault with everything and therefore more grumpy :rolleyes:
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    Tia- I forgot to say last night about your pic, DS2 looks like you! Does Amber favour her Daddy more? Her chubby cheeks aren't that big, you want to have seen my DD's ROFL

    No, Amber is a bit of a mix. Her daddy is a skinny ginger type with blue-grey eyes. Ds1 is his daddys spit. Amber has his eyes but looks like me. I see her as having very chubby cheeks because the boys were so skinny, but compared to other babies, she doesn't really. She's just in a chubby stage, in a few weeks she will go skinny and long again.

    Beanie, AmberCat (or should that not be AmberKitten?) is just adorable! BTW, do you need any newborn stuff? I've a bag with some sleepsuits and little trousers and tops that I found. Can post Tuesday if your interested.

    Krystal, youy can still get tonsilitus even after having them removed. Sorry.
