Hi everyone.

Have not caught up sorry.

Alex has yacky, gunky conjunctivitis. Had him at the on call Doctor on Saturday night. Got drops, but he has gotten worse. So have been back to GP this morning.
He has been swabbed for tests and given different drops. He is a pitiful mess, but still has lovely smiles for mummy.

Also, I cracked on Saturday and Alex has new wheels. Bought the Baby Jogger City Mini stroller and it is fab.

Will try to read back some, but have work to catch up on as i was off with Alex on Friday.

Hugs and any kind of vibes that are needed.

Christopher says thank you for his birthday wishes but he had a go at me for calling him 'Chris', he says it's not 'Ris' its 'Ris-a-fir!' (which is a huge improvement from 'me')

He is feeling a bit better, nibbling at food and looks a lot better.

And I just realised that I haven't looked at the clock and thought of what I was doing 5 years ago. Now, if I can get to 5.10pm without sweating...

DH finishes at 2.30pm today so then we can have birthday cake and hopefully the birthday boy is feeling well enough to enjoy it.

Do you use water or milk for baby rice?

I'm reasonably sure I read that you can use either but since I never used it I'm probably not the best information source.

Good point Sami, i suppose i'm not thinking very long term really. But how long til i can use a seat? They're not very comfy unless she's strong at sitting up, are they?

I just seen this and i can't see it lasting til 9 months?? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Baby-Bath-Support-Bath-Seat-0-9-Months-Pink_W0QQitemZ350275236660QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Baby_Baby_Bathing_Grooming_LE?hash=item518e07f334
but i like the way she'd be laid back and still able to kick her legs

I had something similar for Caitlyn (M&P Acqua bath support) and we managed to use it until she was about 6months old, but then she started really straining to sit up and I thought it was probably getting dangerous... We moved onto one of the little round seats... We don't use anything now since she kept trying to stand up in the seat... I just let her climb around in the water...

Scruffy, shes ok. 3 dirty nappies today, better than yesterdays 8, well within herself, refusing milk but eating and drinking juice (and a little milk).

Chris is ill now though, its his birthday...

Today!

Poor Chris, Aimee was poorly on her birthday, it's the pits... Hope he gets to enjoy being 5 soon!!!

My tutor popped some stuff round for me to laminate on Friday and said she'd fetch them today... A lady just rang to say my tutor couldn't make it but was it OK for her to pop round later to pick them up... A stranger is coming to my house! :eek:

Beenie, you can use either. I've always just used milk because its there, for you breast feeding, you can use water if you have no milk ready and expressing is a pain.

Baby rice mixed with water does have the look of wallpaper paste though... _pale_

Hope Alex feels better soon WM!! Caitlyn had awful snotty eyes when she was tiny, I got drops from the practise nurse because BM and cooled boiled water wasn't doing anything for them... I didn't use the drops though, I thought I would give it another couple of days and they cleared up!

Sami - no idea what to expect at the scan so any info would be good

Thanks Krystal. He usually gets snotty eyes when he has a temperature. But this is way beyond that. His eyes were soldered shut this morning and the gunk has now changed from light green to dark green. And i had to scrape the stuff off with my nails.
He needs de-gunking every 30 mins.:(

Aww poor little man!! Hope the drops help quickly!!

I am sick of my smallest daughter throwing stuff on the floor... I have done nothing today but follow her round picking stuff up!
