    can't decide whether we should go shopping as I have a bit of money
    to spend (got a 3.3% bonus this month :D ) or go somewhere like the zoo or safari park? Decisions decisions??

    I like about a 50/50 meat/veg split in lasagne - mushrooms, courgettes, tomatoes, peppers, aubergine, nomnomnom.

    But I'm really not convinced by baked beans in lasagne _pale_

    OH is now talking to Molly in Icelandic. He used to talk to the cat in it, but now the cat is sadly departed the baby gets it. I'm infuriated because she's already juggling two languages and it confuses the issue but he just keeps doing it. I think he doesn't realise it could be a problem for her.

    Dora I'd go to the zoo :)

    SS, I'm not even going to ask how your DH knows Icelandic.

    Also, we had a talk at our prenatal class from the language/speech person who said that bilingual families SHOULD talk to their babies in both languages. It apparently helps develop their brain better (or something) and won't necessarily confuse them at all - and they get the added benefit of being naturally fluent (lucky!).

    Two languages is fine - but she's already getting English and German and an extra language without a dedicated speaker who speaks it all the time might make her think that the third language is part of one or both the first two and delay her speaking.

    Hi ladies,

    I haven't been on for ages as lots going on at home. My parents have been here for the past week and we've been out every day, it's been lovely seeing Isla going from being a little unsure at the start of the week when she saw them to loving her nana cuddles and huge smiles yesterday.

    It's made me realise just how big my babies getting already and that I can't bury my head in the sand and pretend going back to work will never happen, it'll be here far too soon. :(

    I see gentle hugs are needed for poorly babies and mummies x x

    , 4 days over due , i was induced,
    During this pg i had a ovarian cyst measurig 8cm x 8cm x 4 cm, it was drained at 15 weeks pg, Thomas had a 70 / 30 chance of surviving , which he did , the cyst had got stuck behind my utereus and bladder and could not be left in any longer .

    Safari park, I would imagine it's a wee bit chilly to enjoy the zoo fully.

    Baked beans in chilli =yes, lasagne= no

    That's a bargain trip. Funny, it's cheaper to travel all the way to London than it is to travel an hour to Manchester :mad:
