Isla's wearing her leopard print babygrow, she look's like a mini Bet Lynch :rotfl:

:eek::eek::eek:eeeeeep! :rotfl:

susan another thought, bump size tends to be bigger with PG 2 (well it was for sami and me ) so possibly if you're thinking of using the same clothes as before, maybe get some things that are a bit bigger than the biggest things you wore last time.

Also a belly band was v useful with PG 2 but I didn't need it at all with pg 1. You can use it to hold a hot waterbottle on your lower back.

Also would it be worth getting any HB stuff ready or at least a list of what to assemble so you can just give it to OH if you're too shattered to think of it at the time?

I have a belly band here and a vid of PG yoga if useful at any point . Also a labour tens machine.

All these offers also extend to all my parent club friends.

Beenie, 20 out of 30 is very high. You sound much more positive and chirpy in your posts, but that is a very high score. Please do look after yourself and rest as much as you can. Hugs for you

caz I don't think I'm very sorted in my own life! How is charlie doing now? And I don't think I know where things are with you and OH, sorry I'm really behindhand.:o

MFD, ignore it. When he throws a strop, don't acknowledge it at all, just take whatever it is off him, make sure he is safe, sit him down etc. Get on with what you are doing and when he calms down talk to him as normal 'now you are calm and in your jacket we can go to the park' kinda thing. Don't try reason 'you can play with that later', it doesn't work, they don't beleive in later and it makes them kick off more. Or thats what I found anyway. I tend to just go in with the 'this is what we need to do and this is what we are doing, you can make it easy or you can make it hard but either way at the end of it, we will be doing this so lets not get snot everywhere while we do it'.

Have to say I am in total awe of the organisational prowess of Weezl and Susan. I can't even manage to organise whats for tea tonight.

My assistant keeps saying 'wait until he is 2 - then you will really be pulling your hair out with him' :rotfl::rotfl:

Joe missed the "terrible twos", his was the "terrifying threes", and now the" sulking sixes". Sorry MFD cannot reassure you that it gets easier........:rotfl:

I am trying to ignore where I can...I can't talk to him because he is bawling (and snotting everywhere is so true!!). And when I was writing it down I thought - well 3 in 2 minutes mean that they are not lasting very long at least!!

I think part of it is that I don't like hubby's reaction to them ( a sigh and rolling his eyes and 'you are going to have to stop this little boy' comment ).




LOL - ta WM!!!

:rotfl::rotfl:M cousin bought her it, ignore the sparkle's around the piccie too! I sent her this piccie to show Isla was wearing her pressie and it came back with sparkles on I've just realised too, this piccie was taken about 6 week's ago and her sleeve's are turned up as their too big, their a bit short now. Hmm, today might be it's last outing.

I just got in from the rental insurance people - it's a German invention where they have a team of housing advisors who write letters and such on your behalf. Apparently our current place is insured but my old place wasn't and so despite us paying fees to them in *case* something happens like my former landlord holding onto my deposit illegally, they won't help

And while I was there my minion called, apparently nobody bothered to book the meeting room for the conference we have NEXT WEEK. And all manner of stupid is happening, nobody's organised catering, and the list of participants is missing one crucial one because of an injoke between one person and another (THANKS FOR TELLING US) and one of our keynote speakers has cancelled last-minute...

So tomorrow I have a meeting to hopefully sort all of this out. Gah.

Weezl and Susan, I love how organised you both are.

Beenie, I'm going to send you a PM, lovely

Edit: And I love that picture! AND the babygrow :rotfl:

SS that sound's like a lot of people need setting alight, do you require extra matches? I hope you manage to get everything sorted out.
