    Hi everyone, thought I'd drop by to catch up abit and let you know how were getting on.

    Ethan is 14 weeks old already, had his 2nd lot of injections last week, weighs 14lb 1 and is teething already poor little mite. He's got 2 pointy lumps on his top gum and his bottom gum is all lumpy. I've been using calgel on him but just bought some ashton and parson powder to try.
    Still exclusively BFing and loving it,despite going through a sore nipple phase at the mo.

    Here is little man
    Gorgeous photo .... Ethan was born on Andrew's due date!

    Lovely photo Helen! Very advanced baby, good hair and teething already :D

    I shall miss Susan and her posts immensely, hope she makes it back on soon.

    Feely, you sound like you're a bit down again compared to your recent bounciness - is it solely the discussion-which-shall-not-be-revisited, or did I see that you're getting concerned about medication again? :( What a shame if so, after such a hopeful start.

    It's our 3rd wedding anniversary today :D we are going out somewhere nice tomorrow night (mum babysitter availability), but not sure what I should bring home with me today :o sneaking out of work to the shops in a sec to explore options. We're not really gift-givers at anniversaries but I think "something" is good!

    Random - Does anyone else google their family tree? :p I knew one or two ancestors would have pages out there about them, but I found more than expected :D quite pleasing, especially my grandpa who died when I was 8 and I have only half-memories of.

    ooo, sparkle where did you sell your gold to? I have a couple of things I want to shift and they are decent quality...

    you eBay ladies have motivated me! I need a new swimsuit (my one now is on the point of being vulgar with these BFing boobies!) and am determined to fund it entirely with eBay profits rather than just buying it and then feeling guilty like I would normally do. I've already listed my old fetal doppler & now I'm going to do some clothes, woohoo! Will tackle a few shoes tomorrow, methinks.

    I sold mine to Hatton Garden Metals, I have used them a few times and always found them to be fair. I did my research long before the 'best place to sell your gold' thread was created. Take a look might be worth it for you x

    Hello all,

    many *hugs* to those who want or need them
    Tara - great news about Poppie :)
    Bruno - happy anniversary! 3rd is leather, so maybe a nice purse or wallet, or photo frame? Not very exciting ideas though maybe :o

    Getting over a cold just now, so coughing all the time. Elena has been sleeping a 5-6 hour stretch at night the past couple of nights which is great, but not really able to take advantage of it as I'm coughing half the night! Hope it stops soon - I have lunch with the antenatal girls tomorrow, and baby massage on friday.

    :T I'm going to be completely honest right now, it may offend some but right now I couldn't give a stuff. Can we all just PLEASE !!!!!! about it and move on? and if anyone is catching up or lurking and considering adding their 2penneth, the moment has passed I/we don't want to know what anyone thinks about something that has been discussed to death for what feels like the last month.

    Well said

    How have you done it, by just putting their names and birthdates in?

    Just had the boys weighed.. they are just not even interested in Henry and not that much about William either cos he's putting weight on..:sad:.

    Tried Wiggle and Giggle at my local library today with Henry but so disappointed :(as no one else turned up and they only brought 4 children from playgroup upstairs cos they were 'doing other things' .... now I know why I dont bother going to any local groups so I wont be disappointed:wall:

    On a lighter note Henry decided his teddy needed a nappy on last night :)
    Mum to 2 lovely boys who keep me busy.

    Are your schools off just now? Ours are and it means all our groups are quieter .

    Its an actual disgrace and full of tools, paint and wallpaper and stuff left over from renovating.
    We have so much crap up there its beyond belief!!
