    Is there not much local to you to do in Elgin? Do you live on the RAF base or just normal housing? (I'm totally ignorant about theses things!)

    wondering if I have the right person :o

    Hey,

    Yep ypu have the right person I live in Elgin. Not sure on what there is to do in elgin , only been here since last june and spent most of that pregnant! Didn't get out much as I was sick everyday, then we got really bad snow and i didn't want to walk on the ice, then i was too heavily preggers and struggled to walk anywhere!

    We don't live on base, the base is in Lossiemouth about 5 miles from us. We do live in married quarters though.

    GISI - He will fall asleep in it if we are walking down town say. I say pram but I mean pushchair really but reclined flat (the mura). Ive not tried putting him in it to sleep though. Actually he would prob sleep better in the car seat on the base but hes getting a little too big for that now, might be an option though. Re Friday, I guess if he was in his sleeping bag he might just sleep on a bed in their house (its only a little house and I can keep an ear out if he wakes). He doesnt move very much and not very quickly at all so as long as I put pillows round him then I would feel happy. Could go up there and feed him to sleep in the quiet hopefully. That might be an option. And yeh like u say I can just come home if he wont settle as its only in the same town. Would be nice to see if T will fit in with us a bit (and be nice to watch the world cup with our friends). Sometimes I do think I make more of things than I need to!!

  • Aless- sorry I didn't mean to ignore your post, just not sure what it could be. Hopefully it will clear up by morning, as you say. If not maybe worth having a warm bath and trying to massage it to see if that helps.

    I have no idea why, but my left boob is really full and painful. We've had the same number of feeds today? Hasn't done this in months, obviously. I tried pumping and only got a tiny bit after 20 min, but it still hurrrrrrts. I wonder why??

    Susan has beat me to it. Hope it does ease at the night feeds for you.

    Boogellyboo and Angelfairy, I may have bought a Pandora bracelet today, it may have already been dispatched and I may be wearing it tomorrow :j

    Fattybooboo, I actually lol-ed at your edit!

    Hi Jolene, lovely to have you here! Tell us more about Sophie- feeding, pooing, sleeping etc? How are you enjoying being a Mummy? Am I right in thinking you had a c-section? How are you recovering?

    I knew no real life mummies when I had Henry, but now I know tons! Having a baby is a great excuse to meet people since you always have something to talk about. Netmums is good as it has a section where you can meet mummies near you. I've also met some nice people through my local NCT Tea Group.

    Hey there,

    Well Sophie is my little miracle, never thought I could have children, thought it was going to be just me and hubby for life, but after nearly 8 years of marriage Sophie arrived!

    Sophie was born via c-section which was planned right from the start, we tried breastfeeding for a couple of days but she didn't really take to it and then I got ill so we decided to go onto formula feeding which sh etook to brilliantly. We feed her every four hours, if we don't she lets us know she is hungry!:D She can slep up to 6 hours overnight before waking for a feed. She weighed 8lb 4.5oz at birth and now weighs 10lb 14oz!

    I always said I wasn't going to dress her in lots of pink, but we given tonnes of pink clothes! So its pink nearly everyday!

    Hubby has been brilliant right from the start, he had to everything for her. Which was very weird for him has he has no experience with babies at all! Now I do the majority of Sophie's care because he works, but he takes over on friday and saturday night feeds and during the day to give me a break! Love him!:D

    I am surrised how well I have recovered from the section, especially since I got home from the hospital, we were in there nearly a week, started to do my head in!

    The wanderer returns!

    It's been aaaaaaaaages since I've been on here as my laptop decided it needed a holiday so went on a tour of both my brothers to get fixed, it has been returned this evening.

    I am not even going to attempt to catch up, so hello, congratulations, hugs, get well soon, and happy birthday all round.

    I had a fab holiday in Devon, the hightlight was meeting Tara, Erin, Ben and Maddy. Katie loved being able to go swimming everyday.

    I have missed you all.
    Proud to be dealing with my debts
