MSE Parents Club Part 9

Squishy

Morning all,

*hugs* to those who want or need them

Scruffy - tried to PM you, but it wouldn't send and actually froze my computer! Had to use the power button to manually shut down :undecided I'm in aberdeenshire, if you're making a list of where were all are. I hope we can make it to a meet! Though I'm very shy so might sit in the corner

Was about to get ready to go out, but Elena seems to be putting herself to sleep in her bouncy chair - the longest she's stayed in it actually! The music arch seems to be a favourite now. She also loves the rocking ladybird which we got her for christmas (the one that was on this site on an offer in argos): it's meant to be for 9 months up, but she absolutely loves it when we hold her on it

Right, may go get ready anyway: if she is awake we can go out, if asleep then coffee time The question is, do I go into town, or to tesco where I pass the really nice cafe? (nope! must not even think of that! need to lose at least 5 stone) Have a nice day all xx

Cool youll have to let us know how it went Im thinking of taking lexi to the one in Penketh, haha I know what you mean about taking men folk shopping-does my head in too, might be able to use it online though.

Dont know whats wrong with me, spent half the morning in the bathroom up-chucking my guts, sorry tmi! Iv been like that all week along with migraines

Glam meant to ask you what was that buggy walk thing you mentioned? Is it like a fitness thing or just you and friends?

3 & AF - I am glad it is not just me who is freaked out by same glasses and card. I have been sat here chatting to my assistant trying to rationalise it 'well, lots of people go to specsavers, there must only be a hundred or so pairs of glasses' and then 'how many happy birthday son cards are there...can't be more than a couple of hundred in the whole of town' and I am still majorly freaked!!!


Glam - I just remembered that the gripe water does come in a box not sure what the hell I was thinking about, just because I don't keep it in a box means it never existed clearly I seriously think I am losing my marbles!!


Sparkle - how is your little lady doing with her walking?
Edit - are you pg?

Penketh? I didn't know there was one there?!!! What age is it for? and do you have to pay?

It's a Surestart thing - they do a brisk walk around Callands, you have to book on and yes it is a fitness thing.

MFD - I chuck the box straightaway so had to think for a minute whether it did come in a box or not but then remembered half the time it falls out the bottom of teh box when I take it out the carrier bag when I get home!

I just left my baby to cry himself to sleep Naughty Mummy
It worked though - he wouldn't go to sleep and I needed to go to the garage to get tea out the freezer. Came back in and he was still screaming but suddenly went dead quiet - I ran in and he was flat out.

I forgot to get my pushchair out while I was there!
Job for the weekend

Jillie - so jealous about your Bumbo deal well done. Was that just on ebay? I might have to keep an eye out.

yes, ebay. had seen a few cheap ones but p&p was in some cases massive then thought i'll see if any are for pick-up and there was!! there is tons for sale. try local pick up and i'm sure you'll get one cheap enough. hasnt got a tray but have sen them cheap enough as well. and tbh dont really need the tray as once i start weaning he will be able to sit in his highchair.

Going back a few days here, but everyone was talking about life insurance. I'm just looking at quotes and i don't understand what term of policy means?
Is it the period i'm paying for it, or do i have to try and predict how long i'll live? Lol.

I'm only 24 so would i be paying for it for my whole life, or paying for it for say, 10 years and then covered for life?? Confused.com > literally

the term is how long you pay for and how long you are covered. if you pay for 10 yeasr you are covered for those 10 years. our financial advisor (sounds posh ) said you need to look at a policy that will cover your children till you think they would be financially independant. so we have done ours for 21years which will cover Kian should anything happen to me and DH until he is 21. we now have to make wills and chose 2 people who will be responsible for Kian's money- should anything happen us. all a bit morbid i suppose but i really think its something that if you can afford is well worth having.

jillie1974

Kian had is jabs. had forgotten it was 3!! till the nurse said. he cried a bit but is fine now and snoring away in his buggy. he was fast asleep when we got back so i have left him there rather than wake him up and put him in his cot. so really i should be doing dishes, sterilising and making bottles....not sat here chatting. oh well....i'm a woman i can multi-task

MFD - something freaky (well to me anyway) ... my real dad married another lady with the same name as my mum :eek: at least it saved my nan getting confused or anyone else for that matter.

she is a lovely lady (although they are separated in their own strange way - i think they are still together just live apart) and she is very much like my mum in her way of thinking

does anyone else have trouble accessing on facebook the post with our mse names and real names. i keep getting friend suggestions from facebook but wanted to put mse names to them so people dont think i am a stalker

meant to say yesterday, asked at ckinic how much Kian should be drinking as he doesnt seem to have loads of bottles. so HV said he should be havimg - 23-32oz of formula a day. that relaxed me a bit. said because he is on hungry baby milk, there maybe days when he doesnt need as much as long as it doesnt dip below 20oz over a couple of days, not to worry. so now i'm back to logging how many oz he's having... neurotic mummy i am

jillie - they didn't even tell me it was going to be 3. I saw them do 2 in one leg and asked why she had done that and then she said it was 3. I hate those nurses, they always bruise him.

OK I had THE FREAKIST DREAM EVER.

I woke up cos I felt someone get into bed with me, I said to OH 'You're supposed to be in work' - it wasn't OH :eek: I was dreaming and it was some freaky devil thing that obviously wanted his wicked way with me!
So I managed to wake myself up, J was crying so I took him downstairs but it was really dark. I got to the front door and the outside of the door was barricaded and outside the windows it was pitch black and there was loads of tiny eyes watching me. I was terrified, it was so real and I was sure I was still awake. I was screaming HELP ME & WAKE UP - I was then shouting out in RL and managed to wake myself (and J up).
I was so freaked out when I woke up - for real this time!

It was after OH left for work and I woke up @ 8.30am so wasn't even in a deep sleep!

Jillie - glad Kian was okay with his jabs.

Try not to get too hung up about the amount of milk he does or doesn't have. As long as he is taking his fill and is thriving (wet and dirty nappies and gaining some weight) then I am sure he will be fine. We wouldn't expect all 5, 10, 16 or 60 year olds to eat the same, so why do we expect babies to?

If he was BF you wouldn't have a clue how much he was getting.

I meant to say the same to DKAM yesterday, why reduce Ryry's milk unless you feel he is putting on too much weight / drinking for comfort in the night.

Benjamin can have up to 24oz of bottles in a day, plus BF morning and night, I haven't got a clue but AF said that it is more than he is supposed to have. I am not arrissed, that is how much he wants, who am I to deprive my child!!!
