My_Fathers_Daughter

Waiting for the babba to wake up from his nap - he has been down for over 2 hours, he doesn't normally nap in the morning these days. I think we may have another tooth on the way...

Poor Charlotte, and Becles and Mr3 - we are all coughs and colds here

:eek: we've had the drop the height of Molly's crib and she's in there trying to stand up and crawling all over it. I remember looking at her in the smaller version of it and wondering how she'd ever grow big enough that I'd be able to reach her from the bottom of it in the lowest setting.

And my baby now has a proper neck, I only noticed it the other day when her smaller baby friends were sitting up and both of them just have folds of baby skin attaching their heads to their bodies. Molly has a proper little neck.

*Goes off to check whether Henry has a neck.*

eta- no, he is one of those other neckless babies you speak of.

Edit - sleeping like a baby, snoring like an old hag!!!

SS when I first dropped Benjamins cot he could just peek over the top when he was stood up...now the top is level with his boobs when he stands up. He used to sleep width-ways with no problem but these days he has to tuck his feet up (or prop them up on the bars) if he wants to go width ways.


I think hubby is making plans to see BIL...not sure I can be bothered

Come on GISI tell us about your bargains!

:rotfl: Sami, I wish I'd seen that sooner, although I'd have bought Gordon Brown just for the entertainment value of seeing what Husband would do if I introduced GB to the bedroom :rotfl:

Always happy to share tales of bargains. I spent £10 and got the following-

Blue Swivel Bath Seat
WTP Lullaby Light Show
Dust Buster (£2 mega bargain)
Sleeping Bag
These cute ball things that Elle (I think) linked to last week http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FISHER-PRICE-ROLL-A-ROUNDS-BABY-MOTION-TOY-NEW!_W0QQitemZ380214217805QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=&rvr_id=&cguid=07cf03f711d0a0e202518481ffd05ed8

Yeah we do, he doesnt take to the swing well, but if we put him in his car seat and rock him back and forth he does stop crying, you then have to rock him quite a while and he falls asleep lol

How do you know who the top ten posters are?

MFD I totally agree with what you said about OH's I know he is tired after work,but its flipping tiring looking after E all day I just need like half an hour of just me, he still doesnt get it lol

Happy Birthday Teenage J

Morning all, well I slept from 10.30pm till 10am (E is at my mam's lol) OH is still in bed, I am going to do a quick tidy up of downstairs then I think we should go back and get E, sounds like mam had a tough niht with him last night

Hope E was ok for your mum. Did you get a sling in the end? I really recommend one- it was a godsend when H was little.

You ladies may all laugh at the politician ring toys, it wouldn't be you wearing them :embarasse unappealing!

Booking-in appointment entirely uneventful, nice midwife, OH's bp down a bit which is good, all harmless. Bloods and scan in 2 weeks. We celebrated with lunch at a nice local cafe, now the other two sleep and I must try to get some work done!

GISI I think the sudden sprouting of a neck must be some sort of growth milestone because Molly certainly didn't have one last month.
Edit: excellent bargains there, well done!

MFD, she's not quite as tall as the top of the crib at the moment, but the middle setting is high enough that now she can kneel she could easily turf herself head first outwards.

Has anyone ever noticed how weird the word kneel is?

(ooo we have that wiggly bug on Finn's pram!)

I'm coming to your boot sale next time, GISI as wasn't much of interest at ours - just mostly loadsa junk and very little baby stuff. Apparently it's usually better though, as the skies looked threatening to downpour all morning and scared a lot of sellers away.

What do i do?! She'd be so insulted if i don't use it. But i don't want to risk fitting it wrong and maybe it's one of those that was recalled?

I would take it to your local fitting service (as recommended by Sami) get them to check the straps and let you know if it safe... And use it until you can afford something better

Krystal, is it morning sickness? Sounds icky!

I wondered that myself tbh but got a bfn yesterday morning... Still no sign of AF yet... Hubby thinks it could be because they're 99p shop tests... (3 for 99p:money:) and was on about getting a clearblue yesterday... I'm happy to wait a couple more days... I got a dire rear anyway and you don't generally get that with ms do you?
