    hi mel - we also do gymbabes and LO LOVES it :D It's a great way to get them to let off some energy and see their friends. I'm glad Kai is loving it too. Aren't the t-shirts cute!

    sami - my LO doesn't like chocolate?! she's been allowed a 'taste' on three occassions now and she spits it out and pulls a face. I'm not sure she's my daughter!!!

    PS LO now emptying the one kitchen cupboard she can get into - the one with all her plastic/melamine/cutlery/spoons in it :D She's taking each item for a walk around the table before taking another thing out of the cupboard and walking it round the room!
    I'm sure she'll grow to love it :) and how cute!

    He's had chocolate cake (yule log at xmas) and Cadbury's chocolate fingers, which held on to so long the choc melted and started squidging out between his fingers :rotfl: He might have had more that I don't know about.. anything goes when Daddy's in charge! :rolleyes:

    Speaking of daddies.. is your DH away this week? Craig's doing overtime again every night this week I think :cool:
    hubby around at the moment who know for how long though :rolleyes:
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    They are very cute...he hasn't got his yet as we only joined today, although did go to the trial session before he was poorly. I can't wait till he gets it I will get him to wear it to every session:)

    Glad to hear someone else who goes who also enjoys it.

    Hi all..

    Well, Consultant is happy-ish :rolleyes: We can take him off two meds, reduce another (I already had.. shhhh ;)), and she's writing to kidney specialist (again!) to see if we can stop the weekly jab. I didn't realise but they've all had face to face meetings about Rhys, back in November!

    Developmentally, she's very happy, but says she can feel some slight resistance in his arms and legs so wants the physio to give us exercises to do. Tbh, she said this last time and the physio dismissed it, but we have a new physio next month so we'll see what they say.

    Weight wise, she said she wasn't happy when she saw the number on paper (4oz gain :cool:) but to look at him, he looks fine, not skinny and like "he has a good covering on him". We reweighed him and it was the same :confused: She's not actually that bothered now she's seen him in the flesh so just the same as we have been doing and see how he goes :)

    She nearly fell over when I said I was still expressing :rotfl: Then hugged me when I said I was doing BFing supporter training :D I told her I was stopping at a year "because I've done my bit then" and she said she thought I'd done more than my bit :o Apparently her daughter didn't take to BFing so she expressed for 8wks and that was enough for her :)

    She said he's an amazing little boy who is doing remarkably well considering the start he had. Said she'd never been so stressed over a baby before and she'd still be talking about him when she's walking round with her zimmer frame ;)

    Great news Elle!


    I have had non stop screaming for an hour, no, sorry, 2 hours, from Amber. She has now been dumped in her bed. Might go offer her another bottle, but she is just screaming no matter what I do. Has hardly slept so is tired but refusing to give in. Ice cream isn't making me feel much better either.

    hugs tia x

    could she be teething? Not sure what your thoughts on calpol are, but in this situation I usually try a little to see if it helps.

    Just went to the pub for a meal. Had a steak ciabatta with caramelised onion relish, chips, onion rings, salad and coleslaw. Had to take my belt off when I got in, proper fat belly bulging out hahahaha.

    Diet tomorrow? OK! I'll try and catch up later, nap time for Karen....
