    Aren't you still supposed to wait a month after it as well before TTC just in case?
    I don't know, you are probably right - I was flagging it up as a potential issue because EA said she is TTC and due to get it.

    Not patronising at all, delain! All suggestions gratefully received, not just by me, I'm sure :)

    Only other thing we have to be careful of is tomatoes have to be limited to once or twice a week and no tomato puree (too concentrated) due to the potassium - bad for Rhys' dodgy kidneys. It's all fun in this house, I tell ya! ;)

    MDW, I've never made omelette! :o Might have to pay more attention to Saturday Kitchen :rotfl:

    Mmmmmm....

    Eggs, cheese and ham. Whack it in a pan, cook it till it's solid like a big pancake then slice it. Very simple :D

    finger foods.. DD3 wanted cookies..
    DS1 wanted anything everyone else had.. sausages and tuc biscuits were his faves.. and pepperami!
    DD1 ate saveloys by the score
    DS2 loved veg.. anything.. so long as it was able to fit in his mouth he would eat it.. he liked it par boiled though so it was soft but not sloppy.
    DD2 did and still does eat anything and everything.. toast with anthing was very munchy.. jam, cheese, marmite, egg, beans, various dips..
    DS3 didn't eat food until he was over 2..
    DD4 ate yoghurts with chopped fruit
    DD5.. tortillas with anything.. cheese, ham, salad, jam, coronation chicken, lemon curd, literally anything

    They were all fed pitta bread with dippy things, cheese sticks, bread sticks, dried fruit, chopped fruit/veg, cake,.. yorkshire puddings.. even cold they are delumptious.. mine snarfled dozens!

    If we ate it, they ate it....

    Evening!

    Having a quiet one this morning as DH is working (double time, woohoo).

    We bought a Wii and Wii Fit as Comet had a really good deal, plus a £5 off voucher and I'm really pleased with it! I'm aiming to do 30 minutes cardio per day so not a huge amount, but I'm hoping that doing that on top of my usual walking etc will make a difference.

    Henry's really struggling to settle in the evenings at the moment. Last night he ended up in our bed all night as he just wouldn't stay asleep in his cot. Tonight he's already been up three times. I'm not sure what the problem is, but hopefully it's only a phase. Other than that he is an absolute joy at the moment- so much fun rolling all over the place and giggling his head off. I'm really enjoying weaning too. We do mostly purees but with plenty of finger foods thrown in for good measure. Seems to be working for us so far.

    Kindof- how was your night just the two of you?

    Beenie- lovely FB pics of your two.

    Sami- that clip of Ed with his truck is just too cute.

    I've got a real pickle here - she has been refusing to go to bed (she has a bit of a cough/cold, so not sure if that is part of the problem. She keeps asking for DH too, but he isn't here to say good night to her :( ), and we gave up and came back in here. She agreed that she did want to sit on my lap and drink some milk, and now has just got down, lay down on the floor and gone to sleep! I can't very well leave her there, but what is the betting that when I move her she wakes up and we will be back to square one! Wish me luck!

    (I will be back to join in when she is sleeping ... just have to wash up quickly and make myself some tea!)
