MSE Parents Club Part 10

karen1907

Right I am shattered and feeling a bit sniffly, had a sore throat the last couple of days but was hoping it wouldn't develop into anything. Maybe an early night will help... although T probably has other ideas! Might leave DH to it like I did last night.

Off to bed now hopefully. Thanks for all helpful comments -much appreciated.

I know - he'd go to drive off and then wind down the window and shout it out in front of everyone! He thought he was being cool :cool:
He is one of those Dad's that tries to hold your hand to cross the road when you are 14 *MEGA ROLLS EYES*

Choppy - I had cooked a huge pot of chilli and had chopped up a load of veg for a casserole - I was putting the chilli in the freezer whilst in labour and the veg went off. :rotfl: A huge twin pack of mince also went off cos I never got round to cooking it and the chicken breasts were frozen as they were so needed cooking into a full meal when defrosted! Not what you want when you have a newborn baby. Although I've cooked EVERY night since I came out of hospital!

Another member of the Condom Club as of last week!

Still not made the dr appointment and I actually feel better for not taking the POP.

That sounds like me! I had to stop taking the pill due to BP and never got on with the POP so just stopped taking it in the end.

Chopsticks- I thought I was the only one with a Grandad who goes trout fishing- he'll be 88 this year :eek:. Very :money:though as he gives his catches away- not to me though as he still thinks I'm too much of a little girl to actually cook anything! Maybe I should get him to send one Weezl's way!

Sure was Glam! They seem very efficient so far, can't yet comment on how good their investment decisions are though!

the doctors have put him on a new milk called neocait another man made milk and he has taken a reaction to it already, he is screaming non stop and everytime he is being fed is violently sick he has an appointment at the sick kids hospital in edinburgh in march but TBH they need to see him now! there is nothing of him he is so skinny that she has to buy braces or his trousers fall off when she picks him up!
i feel i should be with her for this app but its the hospital where my nephew was before he died and i still find it hard and cant go, my dad is going with her so she will have some support but honestly if you saw him you would know something wasnt right? they just wont listen?

I've just been reading the box of the pot of baby food Rhys had for tea tonight - Plum Spinach, Salmon and Parsnip along with three cubes of homemade creamy mash. The box says "more calories for your growing baby" (ad-lib-ing but that's the jist), and it's only got 61kcals in it. There are 65kcals in a custard cream biscuit!! :cool: Is 61kcals really a lot of calories for a baby food? *confused* How many should a normal baby be having in a day? :cool:

hi everyone,

elle - i know a HV said to me that 'bought' baby food isn't very high in calories at a time when we were discussing LO's sleeping and the fact that she probably wasn't filling up enough during the day/evening. if i was using plum/ella's kitchen/jars, i used to add in cheese when i heated it to bulk up the calories.

i am not sure what amount they should have, but i just used to try 'fattening' it up with cheese or whatever else seemed to go.

i've only read this page so i am going back to read some more.

SusanC about stamps..i think i still have some envelopes kicking about with stamps on the from Oz. you are more than welcome to them if you like.

We're in the condom club too, but when I was in hospital after having H the consultant told me I should see my GP about getting some other contraception as condoms don't work :eek:. He told me that his daughter was conceived when they were using condoms....lovely :rotfl:. We've never had a problem though!

I can't remember what the actual figures are but the "real" use failure rate is probably influenced by the fact that teenagers and people not in a long term relationship are more likely to use them and condoms work best in the context of a long term relationship.

Oh my blog!!

Keira fell asleep on the sofa, ontop of the DS, she peed herself and wet the DS. So it doesn't turn on now. I've taken all the bits out to dry, if it doesn't work tomorrow you think I could take it back with that 2 year extended warrenty thing they made me buy before and just say "HEY IT DOESNT POWER ON" ....GIMMIE MY NEW ONE NOW PLZ
