SS yesterday the mamas on the other forum were complaining to the NMC and GMTV en masse, the more of us that do the better

Choppy - when you posted a pic of your pram a few days ago is it the M&P Skate? Im looking for a new pram already as I hate mine and thats one Ive been looking at, do you recommend it? TIA

hmm Edgar was a hefty 8lb 4, girls are dainty though aren't they? I really need a baby girl

oh an harking back to my friend and her 12lbers I've just thought, I've never seen her stomach and I'm intrigued because Chris gave me only 1 tiny stretch mark but with Ed I was huge and he's ruined my stomach, hers must me awful

Yes, you need a baby girl. You need to tell OH to make sure it's a pink seed he plants in your belly button next time you're asleep. Well, that's what L told me happens anyway. :rotfl:

Maybe she's got that annoying fantastic elastic skin and got no stretch marks - like me.

While i'm here and hogging the thread anyway, i have a question.

Has anyone, or anyones naughty OH been on a Driving Course after a speeding fine?
I've been offered one; the choice is 3 points and a £60 fine, or attend this half day driving course for £88 and get no points.
I'm just curious as I don't know anyone who's been on one.

my work friend did it. said it was a bit boring but better than having points and higher insurance premiums.

My DD was 8lb15oz at 38weeks, not exactly dainty!

K was 8lb 8oz and I've no stretch marks on my tummy from either of them :cool:

Big bumps/babies don't equal stretch marks in every case

:rotfl:Never heard of it :rotfl:

Am I allowed to teach my girls that one or is it considered rude? :rotfl:

Not that that will ever stop me

Not rude and better than my Dad saying 'Oh are you on the blob?' When I was a bit spotty and mardy :cool:

raincover arrived so off to play once I've changed Mr Stinky!

Thanks Jillie

Sami_Bee

As long as it's not disrespectful, that's okay, as girls are at an age where they may think i'm being mean I'll say you lot said it was okay

Even better, i'll just forget about it and continue to call it TOTM as it doesn't feel right. May try it on Lucy instead

See, told you boys were smelly

Have a nice day all. I shall come back for Searchie's news later, but have to go and get some work in process and paint the skirting boards before collecting girls from school :T

Sami_Bee

right you lot and your stretch mark free tummys can jolly well sod off I'm not talking to you anymore *storms off slamming every door I see*

When she described the headache last night, it started around her eye, and she was feeling like she needed to be sick. This morning she said it feels like someone has took her head off, and now there were kickboxers fighting in her brain! :eek:

I've had migraine for years, sounding exactly like her description (without the kickboxers), but i'm almost positive I didn't start them at 9?

3, I started getting migraines at age 8, went away at ... 13? or so... and we pretty much concluded they were a reaction to caffeine (even chocolate levels of caffeine) so I was off chocolate and coke and etc for several years there! Not a lot of fun.

I am heroically ignoring my sickness today as it is OH's birthday took Elijah to the pharmacy for his meds and via a little fancy shop for some birthday truffles and bath treats, and picked up the ingredients to allow me to wake her with fluffy pancakes, maple syrup and bacon then in a bit my mum arrives to babysit while we go to fancy high tea at the Landmark Hotel (OH's choice of treat not mine! She loooooves posh teas and such).
It's a well-timed birthday as confirmation of annual bonus has just come so I feel happy frivolously spending money on her this week

I feel pretty grim after walking in the rain and dealing with wild baby all morning though, more heavy meds to come before our afternoon trip I think!

Lovely pic Feely and Ladybird so sweet. Elijah pretty much never plays WITH other kids as such, need to get him started on it soon!

Sami I read it on here http://www.naturalmamas.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=39887

I joined when I was looking for a new sling, their quite pro BF/AP/EMC etc and when mardy bum wouldnt sleep last night I ended up reading most of the thread. Fritha's posted on it too IIRC.

Ive got a Streety travel system, its beyond awful and keeps collapsing on one side so hoping Boots will refund it as faulty but it means I need to buy a new pram and car seat. Ive decided shops should have various weight fake babies to put in prams when your trying them, their all easy with nothing in! (not sure if shops do this anyway but wherever I tried didnt) It was me who might have been coming but its a bit far on the bus with Isla. Ooh, but dont you have a Phil & Teds? Im tempted by a tandem double as my sisters due in 6 weeks so means I can have it as a singles for just Isla and doubles when I mind both babies.
