MSE Parents Club Part 11

:wave: I have been on and off lurking on the rarish occasions I get a chance to log on these days. Can't believe how much busier I am with 3 kids than I was with 2, particularly in the school holidays!

I've had the funny comments from MIL about the size of the family too. When we announced that we were expecting again, there was a long long silence, and then she asked if we were sure I wasn't menopausal (cheeky mare, I'm not that old!) Last time we saw her, she actually said she wished we hadn't had Edward, and he was 4 months old and sitting on her knee at the time :eek:. The strange thing is I think she does adore him in himself, she just doesn't think its appropriate for anyone to have more children than she did, older than she did :rotfl:

Think bubs is teething at the moment. He's a bit off his food and has had more nappies than usual today, with a horrible sore bottom to go with. Hope he gets a break from it soon. I've been checking out the nappy rash thread with interest for tips.

I was too scared to tell my mum and dad I was pregnant with Michael! I made DH do it.

Everyone knew already with Chris, the vomiting on their shoes was a give away...

Aimee wore hers with jeans the first time... I like to put trousers under her dresses as she tends to flash her pants around indiscriminately...

Gorgeous pics of Keira, BM. She is such a pretty little girl.

Everyone was over the moon that I was having Henry...at least they were to our faces . No, I'm pretty sure they were thrilled, no-one more than us though and I have already made it known to everyone that we want more bubbas, just not yet!

Did I mention I lost 6.5lb at SW tonight :j? Not bad as I have still been stuffing my gob quite a bit, but have cut right down on bread and junk which always makes a huge difference for me.

But I have never been :rotfl:.

I hate the cinema at the best of times but DH loves it. We compromise and go in the afternoon when its not packed with hundreds of people making sure they have brought the sweets with the noisiest wrappers and the drink with the slurpiest straw :cool: (but that doesn't stop people sitting right next to us when the theatre is pretty much empty!!).

ooh I hate hate hate that!!

This made me chuckle, the thought process of a toddler:

Well done GISI!

Ok, inspired by Csh, I have e-mailed a Netmums seller of a L&G Station. Probably a few days too late but we'll see. Will be a lovely surprise for hubby if I get it though! ha ha.

I quite fancy going to the Baby Screening at the cinema but there was only 1 week that there was something on I was interested in and had no-one to go with. I suppose I could go myself, but I wasn't that bothered.

I'm planning to have a cupcake tower for my wedding cake, with a cutting cake on the top! Planning to make it myself too :eek: I refuse to pay £100's for a bl00dy cake. Gonna get some pretty cupcake cases and decorations, and practise lots, so I hope everyone around me doesnt get too sick of cupcakes :rotfl:

Oh, and on vampires, its all about True Blood, the other ones are for pansies I'm currently on the 8th book, and I'd not read a book since school before I read these!

Hello,

Had a fab time at the meet.

Boo - Isla is gorgeous I loved the boots
SM - Zoe and Jayden are fab - Katie won't stop playing with her purse and headbands and thank you for the chocolates.
Jill - Kian is a very handsome boy.
SJ - Alfie was so good and soooo small.
Glam - Jack is Katie's toyboy she told me tonight, she was over the moon when you sat him on her knee.

The Gruffalo I can't recommend enough for when babies are older, lots of audience participation, I had double the fun watching both the stage and Katie.

Katie surprised at one point as at certain points the audience were encouraged to quote certain lines out of the book and I had to prompt her the first couple of times but when it came to the snake no encouragement was required. It's a muscial so lots of songs to sing along to as well. The show lasts an hour which is just perfect for an almost 3 year old attention span.

Katie insisted I read the book to her tonight and I paused when it came to saying Gruffalo and other phrases she thought it was brilliant and wouldn't stop giggling.

We stopped at Nando's in Didsbury on our way home - it was yummy, we stuck to the Lemon and Herb level though as we're not good with spicy. Katie loved the frozen yoghurt.

Everyone was over the moon when we announced I was pg with Katie, it was the last thing they were expecting us to announce. Mum was a bit shell shocked but then again I did wake her up at 8am on a Sunday morning to tell her!

OOps mega post sorry.
