I didn't do any handwashing when our machine broke last year... I sent it to my Mum's for a month then had to buy a new machine because I couldn't cope with all my clothes smelling smokey lol...
There's an MSLC meeting at lunch time today, might be popping down with my friend... They supply a free lunch
Plus it's worth putting my tuppence in while all the maternity services are still fresh in my mind....
Made a banana loaf yesterday, can't stop slicing bits off it now though...A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...My Fathers Daughter wrote: »Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

Anyway, I'm here now. And I have been lurking, honest! And keeping up with some of you on FB.
Andrew continues to grow according to his own curve - a steady 100g per week - now weighing 9lb 4oz. He's snuffly this morning, his first real cold, poor thing - not that it's affected his milk intake!:heartpuls Mrs Marleyboy :heartpuls

Good morning, how is everyone today? :wave:
I'm enjoying a child free morning. V is at Nana's today.
Really should jump in the shower and tan myself but i'm waiting for a delivery and I don't want to miss it - so i'm sitting here wasting valuable time.

Happy half-birthday Jack and Alex!
Molly is 7 months today
She's still snoozing on the sofa, must go check on her.
Watching OBEM - I hope that Thai lady has her baby this episode, I just want to give her cuddles. And why won't that other one turn over? Her baby's never going to turn a right angle and burrow through the bed.

Not a LLL workshop but quite a few others, I imagine they're similar... What did you want to know?feelinggood wrote: »Krystal - have you ever been to a LLL Workshop?
That's pretty much how both my babies delivered, 3 pushes for Aimee and Caitlyn just got expelled with no actual concious effort of my part... In fact I was trying not to bear down as per instructions from the midwife....Edit: DID SHE REALLY GET THAT BABY OUT IN ONE PUSH?!?!?!!?!?!?!!?!?!!?!?!!?!?!!?
Just walked all the way to cradle club and when I got there it was cancelled... Nice of them to ring me!
I should take it as a sign to do something constructive instead of just sitting on the old microwave and looking at the Internet on the iPod...A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls...
