    You do know poor Peter has starving little babies.. Just like Tiny Tim.. because he has been robbed so many times he cannot afford to feed them!!!??

    Loola's are horrible, I could have told you that!!! I used mine about half a dozen times and threw it on ebay... it was one of the first pink ones they made.. :D Tiddles never looked comfy in it! What pushchair have you got now?

    I have the bertini bidwell.. wonderful, solong as you don't want to keep heaving it into the car.. and the M&P P3 for throwing in the car.. I'd never even consider anything else! .. Though I did LOOK at the Britax .. something or other cos the car seta will clip on it.. but then I wouldn't ever use a car seat on a buggy anyway as they are not healthy so it was just a silly moment!

    I just weighed Keira and she is 14.9kg :eek: What is that in stones? She was just slightly over 16kg last time I weighed her!
    2 stone 5

    (Google does unit conversion so I typed "14.9kg in lb" and it told me the answer.)

    1kg is quite a big change but if you're using bathroom scales, the difference could be down to inaccuracy of the scales. Also if she's just been ill, that could be a significant factor - I lost about half a stone when I had flu a few years ago.

  • Hi all :D

    Hope everyone is well
    I heard Tars good news :j:j Soo happy for you all :T:D

    Well we were at the peadiatrician today and he wanted to check if Dylan could feed himself finger food yet, and all he had in the office was a box of biscuits and he gave Dylan a choc chip cookie :eek: You have never in your life saw a baby lunge towards a biscuit as fast in your life :rotfl: I laughed and said that isnt normal medical practise is it?? And he said, no not really, but hes one of my favourites and it wont do him any harm :D I like our doctor :T
    He now weighs 8.9kg so 19lbs 6 :j Finally putting on a good amount of weight although still being very very sick, so we have had omeprazole dose doubled for the next 3 months and we are to go back.

    Other than that, he said something that made me feel weird :o He said at the end that he is doing really well and he never imagined him being able to do half the stuff he is when he first saw him ........ its things like that that make me realise just how sick my baby boy actually was and how far he has come !!

    Sorry that was an essay !!

    Hope you are all well and ((hugs)) where needed :D
    Can someone catch me up ??

    Do you think the parents who use Calpol at the first sign of a sniffle are also more likely to obsessively disinfect and do other stuff associated with interfering with immune development/asthma/allergies? Or that sickly children get more Calpol?

    I wonder.

    I think you hit the nail on the head there ;).

    I read the article to DH - hope it sinks in as he's definitely the "take medicine & go to the doctor for every little thing" sort :o. He seemed interested, so hopefully he'll remember the 1st time Finn is sick ;)

    MM, he is doing really well. I think you were in a bit of denial when he was younger hun, but I am so glad you were right :D
  • I think denial is the right word. It didnt really sink in at all how bad it was or could have been till much later !!
    He is my little superstar :D

    Thanks Susan. Yep it's the bathroom scales but they aren't off, as I weigh myself everyday and know :rotfl:

    Thing is she had just drank a whole cup of milk, some apples and blueberries and half a weetabix, so no doubt that added to her weight. Poor thing.....She still has to wear age 18month skirts because she has no waist!

    But needs a 3-4 for leg length in trousers. It's such an nightmare, they make clothes for fat kids nowadays! It's the only reason I can think off, because Keira isn't underweight or overweight, she's average height and weight (probably) so why does NOWT fit her properly? Tshirts and jumpers tend too (though long in the arm, and I swear if any child had arms THAT long, they'd be an orangutang)

    I've just started sneezing and my nose won't stop running, bet she has infected me!

    She has fallen asleep on the sofa, AGAIN. Think I'm going to phone the doctors and demand an emergency appointment as this lethargy, temperature etc, makes me worry but I'm not pumping her with anti B's if it's not neccassary, I don't want to wreck her immune system.

    I hardly disinfect anything, I'm such a mink lol, I pour bleach down the toilet and I dettol my kitchen counters and chopping boards and thats about it!

    I probably have cat cooties in my mouth from smooching my cats.
