  • Em - sounds like the bug Liam has just got over. He lost his appetite for a week. Whatever you do don't ring NHS direct - they completely over react and put the fear of god into you talking about dehydration, hydration packs & a&e :eek: Hope you all feel better soon.

    Carla - how nice of your Dad

    Feelie - lovely to hear you sounding so upbeat

    Jam - meeting new friends tired Liam out too, but only enough to fall asleep in the car :)

    SM - an annoucement, interesting?

    Germma - :wave:, hello and lovely pic

    Beccles/Weezl - lovely pics too!

    :hello: to everyone else

    Hello all,

    been offline for a few days - stupid internet connection - and I come back to find out I've about 90 pages to read! Anyone want to update me with anything important? ;)

    Got Elena weighed today and she has gone up to 17lbs 1oz :eek: She has been having a rice feed every evening for the past couple of days and always seems to be looking for more when the bowl is done. I think we're going to try her on a little baby porridge and then talk to the health visitor again before we try her on veggies etc.: I'm still a little wary as so many sites say not to give babies anything other than milk until 20 weeks and we're only at 16 weeks. We'll see how she takes to it :)

    Right, away to read back - if I'm not back by tomorrow, would someone come and rescue me? :D

    NMS - I don't have anything much to say, but it is really lovely to see you posting.

    For me, I've got a baby group, trip into town and a Mummy Meet planned for tomorrow.

    I'm real too .... umm, I havent met anyone, but tara is coming to see me, she'll prove it for me :) and I have chatted off line to a few of you as well, so I think I'm safe :)

    hi angela, sorry I clicked on the linkie and then went to work :rotfl:

    I've read it more thoroughly now.

    Seems like you'd probably be able to create a profile for doing portrait work which looks like it's customisable, ie you'd be able to create soft photos with a rich saturated colour.

    I've never played with one, but it does look really good. And loads more megapixels than mine, and the video footage would be handy for capturing all Rose's milestones :)

    Ummmmm, wish I could say more but I've only really had the D70 and the D200 so I'm not sure I'm expert enough!

    Oh but I love that it does 1cm macro though :)

    From what i can see it can be very automatic if you wish to use it that way or used on manual too. The pixels dont bother me too much and i dont suppose the video does either but it would be good to have the option. Ive even looked at second hand older DSLR's but they arent any cheaper than that and im not sure i know enough to warrant a full DSLR anyway.

    I was given some pennies for xmas and am thinking of putting the rest to it and buy one for myself....tho i have been thinking about buying one since before Rose was born. It alot to spend on myslef and i feel a little guilty x

    Susan the breastfeeding gmtv thing is on their video player http://www.gm.tv/videos/?vxClipId=1441_gmtv_8179

    the MW's body language is confusing me, she's a regular on tv and I don't recall ever having seen her look so uncomfortable before...
    The one who was against it, her main objection seemed to be harm to teeth. She reckoned that giving them breastmilk makes them like sweet things. Don't really believe that considering that on the odd occasion that we do give Alice something like cake she usually rejects it.

  • Thanks feelie. It's lovely to see you trying the groups. Some of the groups I went to finished over christmas and I haven't found anything to replace them with, but I am back at work in 4 weeks so not really worth seeking out new ones. Tomorrow we are meeting DH for his lunch break and not much else.

    Oh, and glad to hear the nanny went well!

    My ambition is to meet all of you's. Soon it'll go from five to hopefully 9 or more! I've met two other non-parents thread MSE'ers too.
