We visited my parents at the weekend to tell them about the new pregnancy. It was my mum's birthday last week, so we gave her a card with a photo from the ultrasound in it. She looked at it and said "ohh, thanks, nice to have a hard copy finally" - she thought it was a print of Elijah's 12 week scan! :rotfl: how we laughed

That's really interesting.

Were your parents pleased once they were told about the pic?!

Edit: Yey go Molly!!! :T

Hello all,

*hugs* for MFD
*hugs* for Alice - glad it's not asthma, and I hope she gets over the whooping cough as soon as possible

I'm sitting here with a baby who has been needing a nap for at least the last hour and is only just dropping off now. I hope she will go for naps a bit easier when she starts nursery! I'm due back to work in just over 5 weeks and have booked her settling in sessions I've just about given up getting her to take formula: she just won't drink it, so I hope she'll be okay at nursery without bfeeding as I can't express enough to send in with her. It's one of the things I worry about the most: her screaming all day if she can't feed. She can have as much water or juice as she wants.

I'm waiting in for a washing machine to be delivered - is it sad that I'm looking forward to getting it? I've a backlog waiting to go, so I hope the weather improves and I can get it all out on the line!

Squishy - remind me how old LO is?

Will she take a bottle of EBM? (I know you said you couldn't express enough - just wanted to know if it was the bottle or the formula that she objects to).

Thanks they were very pleased (emailed me that evening to tell me they were drinking champagne in celebration )

OH just gave in over time, about telling my mum. I promised to run interference if necessary if she got too full-on, and she realised she did kinda want to tell her dad, and given that she sees my mum every week or two it couldn't be kept secret for that long realistically anyway... so yes. All good.

We went to a park (Golders Hill Park in Hampstead) with my mum on Saturday, and Elijah tore around like a madman as usual. He was in t-shirt and shorts, and he picked up his first proper scabbed knees from running and falling over he's obviously hurt himself many times previously but this was proper blood dripping down both legs stuff! :eek:

It obviously made a big impression on him - it inspired him to his longest coherence yet - yesterday and this morning, he has been frequently repeating

"Run fall down hurt knees! Cross road granny. Car HOT."

(the car was very hot when we left, parked in the sun!)


Ooo - gogo crawlymonkey Molly! So much drama and excitement to come! Is the house ready for a mobile Molly yet?

Squishy, try not to worry. You may find she accepts formula at nursery when she sees the others having milk. Out of interest, did you use pre made cartons or powder? Even if she doesn't take any while at nursery, so long as she has a couple of good feeds the rest of the day she won't be harmed in any way.

Well give it something else to do then EA staring at you may be the most interesting option available to it...!

Not in the slightest And Husband is being useless about it. He claims to be very sick with a cold. I'm also snotty and miserable but I'm still doing my regular job, cleaning the house, minding the baby and applying for new jobs. And I'm not whinging about feeling ill because there isn't time.

She is 8 months old. She doesn't tend to use bottles anymore, though she always would take ebm from a bottle - she prefers her sippy cups and beakers now. So I think it's more the formula, as she won't really take it from a bottle or cup. I can sometimes get her to take a little, but maybe only as much as an ounce, and most times not even that.
