I agree with MFD.

Hello,

Not got time to stop but had a quick catch up!

Tara - great idea about the hen night, count me in.

Tia - well done Amber for keeping mummy on her toes!

Aless/Beenie - Does Aless think that the crawling Amber picture you posted is your Amber, when it's actually Tia's Amber????? Confusion!

MFD - If you are around (I will catch up tomorrow), can you please give me your opinion on the Kiddy Infinity Pro car seat please? It's obviously the Which best buy and is best rated for safety and fitting, but the big bit across the front looks really annoying. Does it bother Benjamin at all? Is it very restrictive? Does it make him very hot? I like what I have read about the seat, and the no harness makes sense to me in relation to whiplash, there's just something about it that we don't like the look of. Honest/balanced opinion would be great!!! Thanks. xx

Catch you all tomorrow, I'm going to bed!

Sorry got the ambers confused. I was tired! (and still am)

Bruno, can't see the linky on my phone but circumcision is the predominant choice in the usa and there's a lot of people who wrongly think that to not to is 'dirty' or 'unclean'. I think it's an uneducated throwback to the 80s AIDS scare when it was seen as some sort of preventative...well, the tradition is older than that, but that really concreted it into culture. On my American expats forum, it's a very contentious topic that raises heated debate, similar to BF vs FF here! Hope ur oh didn't get too upset about not mutilating ur son's body! :rolleyes: (any religious reasons aside, though i don't think anyone on here is jewish, i do respect that it is commanded by certain religions)

Sorry, end rant. Been up loads tonight already and am really cranky.

I want to come to the hen night but I'll not be here:( I'll be on holiday but if I can get to the internet at roughly the right time I will join in!:D

Up at 6am again here. Night wakings have all but ceased so you can't have everything I suppose! We need to be up at 7am anyway so its not really that bad. Its actually worse and throws the whole day out if he sleeps til 8am so 6am isn't that bad. Although 7am would be perfect Kieren!!!!

Thanks all, and thanks Aless I did know that it's the US default, but OH was opposed to it in the first place anyway so we're aligned. Just hormones and comforting I guess, which worked fine . There were some studies that suggested that circumcision reduced the chance of catching some STDs I think, then some other ones which discredited the first ones or said it was only if lacking in hygiene or something.

Aless, your sleep situation must be really wearing you down now? and, sorry I pushed the fair on car-less you!

Sleep isn't as bad as some on here, so i should stop moaning, really. No worries about the fair - we have a car, i just can't drive it!

Ah, i've visited the link now and see what she might've gotten upset over! There's some very upsetting videos on one link. So my rant was all for nothing, haha.

Are you going to find out the baby's gender? Did you with E?

Busy day again with loads to do, but the sun is shining

Ooh thanks Tia :j

I've just bought a zoggs training ring and a wetsuit on ebay so am gonna take Amber swimming next week! Only need a swim nappy now (was too slow on the fairy ones too), although i better check my cozzie fits cos if i look like a teletubby spilling out of it then there's no point in Amber looking posh :rotfl:

Beenie Ive got one I could send you? I just checked and they are for 7-13lbs, too small for E lol I am guessing they are too small for Amber too, if they are does anybody else want them?

Morning all

Whats everyone up to today? I need to nip to shops to get mam a fathers day present (my dad lfet when I was 1, mam raised us on her own, we always get her something for fathers day as well as mothers day)
