I have my next baby's name picked out too! Daniel Simon (feel like I have to have Simon as it's FIL's name and we used my dad's name as Thomas's middle name) I would like Daniel James (my grandad's name) but I think he would get laughed at for being a DJ! Likewise DH doesn't know - I think he'd think I was crackers!

Hope you get your salary sorted :mad:

I have a JD (Jack Dylan) so would like a JT next then possible JJ (John James) but think too many J's could get confusing! I love Jamie and Jake but Jamie is OH's cousins name and he's a moron and Jake is too similar to Jack!

Oh, don't worry I'll get it sorted out! I'll kick off big time if they don't.

MFD - hope you get something confirmed today

Gill, I used to lie on the bed and feed C to sleep, then when she was asleep I would slide away from her and go off and do my jobs... (Or have a nap with her... ) Only in the past week or so have I started putting her in the cot for naps and she's settled herself

Mfd, Hope you get some resolution today (if not, I recon I could find some fleas... )

Sugar, yay for a widget

Red, love you too

Ah - now I remember what I was fed up about...

Glam used to say that she was going to call her next baby Benjamin



Yay for widgets SS :T

I do! But it would either be Benjamin William or Benjamin John (both OH's middle names! not copying ) and then he couldn't have funky initials as a nickname! Actually OH really liked Benjamin so I'll probably get vetoed! I do plan on havign a few so it will work it's way in there somewhere!

Hmmm, strange name for a girl :rotfl:

Forgot what I was going to say.

Big meeting here at 10am - my year of work-related trauma may be over today....although that could well end up with me out of a job in 3 months time, I wouldn't even care about that at this point, I just want it to be over.

I hope everything goes well for you today MFD :grouphug:

Susan - how is Alice and her cough now? I hope you are getting better sleep now :A

Gill - I used to feed Benjamin to sleep on the bed (or feed him and then he fell asleep) and then I would scoop him up and stick him in his cot so I could do some stuff.

LOL - Benjamin is either BJ or BS :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Good luck MFD! I hope it goes the way you would like.
Glam - sorry to hear work mucked up your salary. I'm still doing the same job I have for the last couple of years, but I still had to ring work after my last two paychecks as they had made errors - in THEIR favour, obviously :mad:
Gill - I'm sorry I'm no help. On a good night, Freddie goes down at 7pm, refuses to settle until about 8/8.30pm, I feed him at 10.30 - 11pm-ish, then he wakes up at some time between around 2am and 4.45am (if I'm very lucky) and then goes until sometime between 6 and 7am. He does sleep ok during the day - grr. I normally settle him in his cot upstairs at around 9.15-ish, and then again at about 12-ish, and try to make the room as dark as possible. He'll usually just drop off. If he doesn't, I give him a dummy and that'll do the trick...

*wanders in looking refreshed* Do you remember I said everyone would know when Celia finally slept through well:


Last night at the grand old age of one year, nine months and four days Celia SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT for the first time ever! (7.45 - 6.45!)

Yippee! Go Celia!

Fitzio, D was born 17/11 so I think there is 2 months between them but our HV thinks D is advanced simply because he is awake so much more than babies should be so has more time to practice :rotfl:

D is only two days older than H but way more advanced in terms of crawling and standing!

That's the one that promoted the loose women debate. Linda Bellingham was not impressed. Some of the others said they could see where she was coming from :eek: As a new bfing mum who is just getting my confidence up with feeding in public all of this has made me feel a bit uncomfortable and nervous about it again.

I can never understand the feeding divide. I have chosen to breastfeed but certainly don't think anything less of anyone who has chosen not to.



LOL - there cant be many ways to pronounce Landen!

You've been incredibly productive - took me ages to sort all that out.

Beenie *hugs* I'm totally shocked at the way they've dealt with this - ofcourse the neighbours will be quiet if they know someone is listening :eek:

Please don't be nervous to feed in public. I have fed Henry for the past seven and a half months and never had a negative comment or even a particularly funny look that I've noticed when feeding him in public. In fact I've had a fair few positive smiles and chats (mostly from old ladies) while doing it. IMO feeding in public is one of the best things that we as BFing women can do to 'normalise' BFing, not to mention it being so liberating not to have to plan your day around being home for feeds.

ETA- I hope no-one minds me saying 'normalise'. I'm not sure it's the right word, but can't think what is.


On the M&B article, now I have Henry I would never judge anyone on their decision to FF or BF, even reasons like the author or the article gives. It is totally everyone's choice, and we all have our reasons for all the parenting decisions we make. I've had people pass judgement on my decision to have a c-section, so I kind of know what it feels like. I just object to a magazine like M&B, read by a lot of pregnant women as well as new mums publishing such a one sided article in such a flippant way.


Good luck today, MFD. I hope you get some kind of answers.

I know! imagine having BJ tattoed on my bod! :cool:

Pay sorted - was because my boss didn't write my paypoint on! Will get it next month.

Just debating what to do with the extra £300 I have floating around in the ether between my various bank accounts! A holiday without telling OH??

Morning

Me and Lily have had a nice morning of watching smallville

Now shes grabbing things fro my desk and pulling them off lol. We're gutted, we've lost her favourite teether, she uses it to get to sleep (by rubbing it on her face :S) and generally loves chewing it. My sister bought it but i dont think poundland sell them anymore

I need her to sleep so i can cut her nails, she scratched her face and its bleeding a tiny bit


Those denim nappys are cool! Im sooooo buying them
