    last weel of ML :(

    tried on my uniform and it fits, actually looser than before i ws pg !!

    just in washer now so its all fresh for next week.

    need to just get the house in order so its easier to keep on top of wheni;m back at work.

    trying to figure out what time we'll need to be up in the morning so we all get out of the house on time and organised, i reckon we need to be up by 7.30 at the very latest. depends how organsed i am from the night before.

    Jillie, I'm usually the world's worst (well, Sami aside :p) for getting organised and out in the morning, but now I've been laying out my clothes the night before and getting the bags ready and by the door, I've actually found myself being very early most of the time :D I guess it does depend on what you have to do with Kian before you go - I literally pick Rhys up out of his cot and put him in his car seat and go, then Mum sorts him out at the other end (if he's still sparko, she'd put him straight in his travel cot to finish off his sleep), am very lucky :o

    Talking of Rhys being sparko.. he's still in bed! He hasn't slept this late in weeks :cool:

    thanks elle.
    am planning to do the same. lunch made, bag packed for Kian and bottles ready. in the morning it will be nappy change, clothes and breakfast, although nursery will give him breakfast if i want them to. atm he has a bottle about 6 or 7 so i actually dont have that much to do but we need to be put of the house for 8.15 to walk to nursery and for me to walk to tram station and get to manc.
    sats when i am workign is prety much the same. mil will feed Kian too if i need her to.

    i am pretty organised if i know i need to be out of the house by a set time.

    Just a towel, and then we laugh and beam at his cute bed-hair :) I am sure this will work well for you too!

    I came in this afternoon and OH showed me the new 'cute thing' she has taught Elijah - I had to sit down, she said "Elijah, will you ESKIMO KISS dadden?" at which point he leapt to his feet, rushed over to me huffing and puffing and with great urgency rubbed his nose against mine :D then wandered around afterward going "Mokiss. Mokiss!"

    So I am the only one worried about putting baby down with wet hair :o I worry he might get a cold head! Will see how we go. Thanks peeps!


    Very cute E :T:T


    Squishy - remind us how old LO is? And does she take a bottle at all?

    MFD- I never put DD down with wet hair either, it is one of those things that was ingrained from when I was a child, never go out with wet hair, or never sleep with wet hair! :D

    I towel dry it mostly, but now her hair is thickening up I blow dry it, she loves the hair dryer! :)

    So much for the :money: , last your forever and environmentally friendly mooncup. :o
    That was a pretty gross tale... But I would have just fished it out... I got soap by the sink... ;)

    My mooncup is all uncomforatble since Caitlyn was born... I wonder if she did something to my cervix?
    Katie's swimming class is being merged into another as there is only her and one other continuing next term. I have a couple of options but I need to see what I'm offered properly first.
    They've done this to Aimee's class... Where there were 1/2 small classes running at the same time on a wednesday, we now have 3 large classes running together on a Tuesday... It's a bit of a nightmare tbh... There's barely any seats at the side of the pool so you need to get there early... But not too early because the previous classes parents are all sat there...
    (this past week ive not honestly had 5 mins, hes been really crying and just not happy with anything youve done with him, so I am hoping he will be better this week)
    Caitlyn was very much like this for her first 8-10 weeks... I thought I was going nuts!! In hindsight, I should have just holed up on the sofa and ignored the non-essential housework/let hubby do it/done it when hubby was around... It feels like it's never going to end at the time, but it does end... Things do get better... Promise :)

    Caitlyn's just discovered her clap :D she's been sat clapping to herself for ages... Very cute!! She's also walking a bit more this morning... Must be a bit easier to do without a big sister to trip over all the time...

    There's a couple of bits of pork left over from yesterdays dinner and all I can think about is putting them on a butty... Is it lunchtime yet?!

    Mfd, if you're around? I discovered your text at bedtime, thought it would be a bit late to reply then, but will do now... :)
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
