Good morning! sorry for my enormous absence :D

Will do an update in a minute, but before I do, I saw that norwich union have a new account which you can transfer your child trust fund monies into and they will DOUBLE your existing balance:money::money::money::money::money:!!!!!I think there are a limited number of these and we have to get our acts together before the end of the tax year! More about it here. Have a lookie before we chat further about how we're all going to do it successfully....

How do you feel about going back? Is Caitlin okay with nursery?

As for apps when I'm back at work, we'll just work them around my days in or I can switch my days. Consultant apps here and at Notts are not changeable so I'll have to switch days / take hols for those, but things like eye checks and physio apps can be changed. I'll just wait for the letters to come through, phone to see if they can move it to a better day and if not, will switch work. Thankfully my new boss is very understanding and said he's totally fine with me switching about when we need to Or then again OH could just take the time off and mum is fine with just taking him in for a blood test if absolutely necessary.

TBH, I'm OK when I'm at work at the moment, but I don't know if that's because it's only one day a week, and Caitlin's with my mum and in her own home. When I do three days, she'll be 1.5 days at nursery. I know it's silly but I just keep thinking "I'm paying someone for the privilege to look after my child when I'd like to do it". But, if we want to move, we need the money. Depressingly, last night I worked out how much better off we'd be if I worked full-time, and even after the extra nursery fees, it would be quite a bit. However, I don't want to even think about that yet.

That's good that your new boss is being so understanding. When do your KIT days start? They can't be that far away now.

:wave: Weezl. Hope you're OK my lovely

Will catch up with everyone later. For now, I need to get me and baby dressed and breakfasted before getting to my mum's for 9:30 (more likely to be 9:45) then going for my one week aftercare appointment for my laser surgery.

Bye :wave:

My Mum just rang... My nephew (step sisters little boy) went to hospital with what they thought was a broken arm, but the Dr ordered an mri and they said he has an aggressive tumour He was 7 in February... Got to wait a couple of days for an appointment so we know exactly what's what... I've been put on standby to look after her 5yo...

Aww no, (((MASSIVE HUGS))) I hope everything is ok xxx

HA HA HA HA HA Weezl lol

I am SO tired, went to bed at half 11, then Elliot woke for a feed at 12am, he drank 3 1/2oz which is a lot for him, then he woke again at 1am!! !!!!!! and wanted feeding again, so he had another 2 oz, then he would NOT go back to sleep eyes wide open! So I ended up sitting up in bed with him laying on my chest and it took him half an hour to drop off, so I gets back to sleep at about 2am, then he woke again at 4am :eek: had another 3oz, then woke again at 7am, so I gave up and got up with him, now I am sitting on sofa wrecked, I need sleep lol

We are meant to be taking him to get weighed today (weekly clinic thing) between half 9 and 11 OH is still snuggled up in bed (jealous, me, no lol)

:rotfl: sometimes I imagine myself the same way - but no, I'm a teeny tiny package.

I'm the opposite - I forget and think I'm small until someone tells me I'm tall because I was always one of the smallest at school until everyone stopped growing and I carried on. My brothers sometimes call me "Little Susan" because I'm the smallest in the family.

I'm trying to crash diet. I paid the holiday balance last weekend and remembered the tears and tantrums I had with myself in various changing cubicles in the Metrocentre last year when I was trying to find swimwear big enough to hold all my flabby bits in. I don't want to go through that again this year

:grouphug: I know you were just wearing regular clothes when I saw you but I thought you looked fairly normal when we met.

She used to poo loads but hardly ever now. And the last 2 poo's (i.e the last 2 weeks!) it's changed consistency. It was like curry sauce, now it's like thick angel delight!! She's always trumping though, stinks too :eek:

Alice's poos changed at around four months - they went a lot more solid and a lot more smelly. I figure it's their digestive system developing (but of course I'm just guessing).

I'm another in the 'kill your husband' gang.

Was up all night with a sick Christopher, so I asked Husband to get up with Amber, he says yes then lies there for another half hour as she is hitting and scratching at me before I finally got up myself. Lazy frickin !!!!!!!, I really hate him at the moment. It's not like I ask him to do much.

Kids off school today, I couldn't be arsed rushing about and getting Michael ready so he can just stay off. Chris is tired and has had a dodgy nappy so proper illness rather than his night-time vomiting.

Hello :hello: Weezl, wondered where you'd been. How are the lovely Fergie and Kezzie?

'ello gorgeous I'd love some tips on what to do when it's just you and both your LOs need you really badly!!!!!

they're ok, just don't like sleeping that much and seem to require endless medical appointments, we have something on everyday and often 2 things. Elle, I know you have lots of weeks like this, and hats off to you for managing it, it's exhausting! :cool:

kester is still not back up to birth weight which is unusual with a FF baby. Also he is being described by our HV as premmy, which was a surprise as he was born at 38+2 and I thought 37 was the cut off?

DH and I haven't managed to keep that post baby loved up euphoria and have been snippy with each other

Body-wise I feel much more recovered much quicker... I didn't tear with fergie, but the grazes I had were pretty uncomfortable for a while, but no grazes with Kezzie

I do have to have my cervix checked at my 6 weeks though, cos the MW thinks the speed of the labour has done it some damage, eeeep! Not sure what that means. Does a damaged cervix mean anything in real life terms?

Good news wise: Fergie really likes kester. When he is excited, he says 'gishi-yeah!' and he says this when he sees kezzie in the mornings. he has also spontaneously gone and done forehead touches with him a couple of times :cool::cool::cool::cool::cool: while we call ot 'GENTLY fergie!'


Thanks sami and aless for my [STRIKE]kick up the bum[/STRIKE] gentle nudge to come and say 'hi'.

I've missed you all
