    Keira had her 8month check up at our house aswell as the toddler one.

    Actually thinking about it now, I hope they didn't think I was neglecting her or something! Maybe cause I was a young mother and I had just moved to that surgery? Either way, I liked that HV, we were skint and she got us £50 towards Keira's Christmas from some nun charity that only gives money to people with BABY GIRLS. How sexist!

    She moved though and no clue who my HV is right now.
    Don't like the HV's there, look down on me because I'm young.


    SS - They probably hate me now with all my moaning, no doubt will ban me :rotfl:

    Turns out the last guy I spoke too was speaking out his bum and didn't even call the delivery driver, so it wasn't 5minutes! They will be here within half an hour, but IM TELLING YA, the delivery was SUPPOSED to be between 7-9.

    It's just aswell I have no life, cause Id be super mega barbara streisand !!!!ed right about now.

    nothing through yet mm. Bit tricksome cos he's on so much lactulose now that they'll only give enough repeats (ie one script) to last him 8 days so we're at the GP nearly once a week til he sees paeds. Just remembering how many appointments we had when F was born, I can't figure out how we'll manage to remember all the jabs/checks HV malarkey with both of them :rotfl:

    How's work? Is it ok to be back or horrid?

    xxx

    You will be surprised at how easy you will find it !! You wont feelt he need to go the the HV as often with the 2nd as you did with the 1st and the HV arent useually as bothered with 2nd time mums unless there are any problems, so you wont have much to do with Kester !!

    Being back at work is nasty and I want it to go away :o:rotfl:
    Its actually OK. I do not feel as though I have never been away though, I am perfectly aware of the fact I have been off for the last 9 months :o
    It will be better when I get my travelling out of the way !!

    But if you've nothing to compare him with, you wouldn't know he was crap!

    I knew my first boyfriend was crap - it was painful and awkward and he was always the only one to enjoy it.

    SS - stupid Doctor. He sounds awful :(. You said yourself that Molly is happy and healthy, so just ignore him. Would you consider coming back to the UK for work, or is that a big no-no? I like the thought of a weekly to-do list. I might have to steal your idea.

    SS and 3 - are you both only buying 12-18 month clothes for your little ones (ebay/Me Too ones, I mean)? I'm watching a few bits but none are 12-18 months.

    It's a balance of the convenience of living right on top of him and having someone I trust. Luckily she's healthy, but if she had any serious problems I'd get a different doctor.

    Re coming back to the UK - I would in theory but the job situation is so dire at the moment that it's unlikely I'd get anywhere.

    I'm also bidding on a 9-12 month dress but not terribly fussed if I don't get it :) I might change my mind though if the others I'm looking at get sniped (3 I'm looking at you :angry:)

    Edit: Weezl how frustrating that you've tried so hard and it didn't work out the way you wanted. But it doesn't seem to have made a difference to Fergie's health or the bond between you (I well up when I think of the head-touching).

    Tens machines are horrible, they were electrocuting me and it ripped loads of my back hairys off (It's clearly where Keira gets this hairy back of hers!)

    Weezl I did reply about the onion tart, and I don't like quiche or anything remotely quinchy (tis what I call quiche)

    Will give the Scotch eggs a go though, OH likes them. Keeps asking me to make egg cutlets, never ever heard of them. Do you know what they are?

    Weezl Totally off subject but is Mr Weezl about? L has been down crying with a sore mouth - not toothache, more throbby pain. She showed me where it hurts. Its the one behind the fang where she still has a baby tooth, and there is a big tooth growing in front of it!

    If we go to the dentist, will he whip out the baby tooth?, or leave it to come out on its own. It doesn't feel wobbly.
    :beer:
  • Mine was like that 3, and I didnt go tot he dentist because I thought they would pull my toth out, and my tooth is now about 5 mm above the rest of my teeth in my gum :(

    Tia, also earlier you said about a scan. Shall I request one re: breech?

    xxx

    Were you scanned to confirm the breech? If not, did you feel him turn round? Or do you think they just made a mistake?

    I don't know... :o With Christopher I was scanned when admitted to hospital to check growth (pre eclampsia) and had been told he was breech the past few times I had been checked but as I was under 33 weeks there was time for him to burl back round so nobody was worried, but in the scan he was face down, !!! up :D

    I can't really comment, never having been in the same position. How would you feel about delivering a breech baby at home? Doing it all so non-medical is weird to me! :rotfl:

    Growth spurt?

    Molly's still that way at night, I've tried to give her just one boob and hope it's just comfort she's after, but she just wakes twice as often.

    Oh, and I had that happen, my mother didn't take me to the dentist, and my bottom front teeth are all crowded and bockety looking.

    And now I'm off to bed. Goodnight ladies , MOTM :)
