SJ, I took Finn for the 1st time when he was 6 weeks (except got judgmental comments from a nosey old lady!). When they're little you just have to be careful and limit your time in the water as they cold quite easily.

eta: look at that hair!! soooo cute

nikkit, you don't need to put anything on the spots. They're normal & will go away on their own. I would imagine putting something on them might only make things worse.

Ladies, I have a very little problem, bit sad about it...

I have nobody to give me away!

Was all going too well.

:grouphug: Do you have a brother who could do it? Or could your eldest son do it? My brother gave me away and OH was all stressed about people potentially asking about my dad (who we did actually invite but he chose not to come) but nobody commented other than the fact that when he told OH's parents in the planning stage they asked if we could "sort it out" before the wedding.

ARGGHHHH I think bubs has chicken pox ANY ADVISE??

we went away last weekend and on the day we were leaving the young boy of the family we were staying with developed a chicken pox rash. Bubs started with a rash yesterday on his belly at first i thought it was heat rash as the spots were tiny but they have grown over night and im sure one or two have very tiny blister heads. I Have called NHS direct and the nurse is going to call me back and will take him to the docs if needed but i know there isnt alot they can do other than piriton and lotion. he seems fine in himself. Have any of your babies had chicken pox at 6months or very young and are there any tips to help keep him comfortable :-)

Oh yeah forgot to mention i am pregnant as well but that shouldnt be a problem as i have had chicken pox and been vaccinated against rubella :-)

Aless Was it the 2nd set of jabs? They really affected V, when the 1st and 3rd ones didn't at all.

nikkit I think it's quite normal what your feeling about OH. You've got a new baby, have a billion things to do and are probably exhausted. He's just at the bottom of your list of priorities for a little while.

Sarah Gorgeous photos!
'They' used to say not to go swimming until after three sets of jabs, but 'they' changed their minds and you can go whenever. Its just the cold that isn't good. Our local pool is freezing, so we only managed 20 minutes the first few times we went.

Glam I'm so proud of you getting up and going to Next and back before most of us are awake. :T and to OH and BIL.

SJ - gorgeous piccy! I can't get over his hair!! It's so long and he has so much!

nikkit - big hugs. I feel like that about my OH at the mo but it comes & goes

lolly - oh no! I have no idea I'm afraid.

Well, as someone is eating an envelope I better go and sort his breakfast!

Thanks ladies - he doesn't have as much hair now as he did either! It's started thinning out I like it and I want it to stay!! DH had similar hair when he was born, and it is really thick and dark now, but after his baby fluff came off it grew back bright blonde so I'm wondering if Alfie's might do the same.

Might take him swimming in a couple of weeks then. Did you just kind of hold him in the water and chat to him?

Nice to know others feel same about OH like me ,

Buy calamine in aqueous cream from the chemist.

It's less messy than dabbing calamine lotion on and the aqueous cream helps stop the skin from drying out.

Morning

Lolly - oh no poor thing!

nikkit - I think that's normal, after Caitlyn was born I went off anything intimate with DH. A kiss was ok but anything else just repulsed me a bit TBH. I'm fine now though - although those 'moments' are still a bit few a far between!

Glad you got some stuff in the sale Glam! I'm an avid 6am'er at the winter and summer sales, and you can almost guarantee that most other people on the road at that time of morning are off to the Next sale!

Collected my Avon books last night - 15 books back and a whopping £2.50 order But I got a text from someone whose mum had given her my number! I took her a book last night and am collecting it this morning when I take my other books out again. Got an order to come off my neighbour too and my sister's ordered some stuff.

Might be taking Josh and Caitlyn swimming later if her ring arrives. It'll be her first time - I can't wait! She loves the bath so I think she'll love it in the pool!

Tara - I didn't have anyone give me away. I walked down the aisle myself:D We got married in Cyprus and arranged it all within a few weeks....although didn't have a potographer, which is the only thing I wish we had done.....would have been lovely to have some pics:( I definitely think you should have one, even if just a friend/family, who are renowned for taking good piccies and will take loads so there is more chance of some nice ones:)
