    Because all men are the same? lol

    He won't be getting much sleep, I've just had to shout at Aimee for not doing what she's told... :rolleyes:
    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.

    Daddy is most probably right :D :cool:

    Maybe you could buy them if she gets any money/vouchers?

    xx

    I know :o. I might leave it until the last minute and then if nobody asks for present ideas, just get it :o
    Our favourite bath toy is a big sister lol... Other than that we like the foam letters that stick to the bath and a set of foam mermaid things that do the same that I got Aimee for £2 from Asda...
    The foam letters were on the list of ideas that I gave my friends (they did ask - I didn't just hand over a list!). My niece had a set and loved them.

    Happy anniversary Aless.

    Off to meet NCT mummies this morning and need to go to Tesco and the post office too. Suppose I'd better get baby dressed!!

    Hope everyone has a good day

    Morning everyone!

    We had a good night here:j Settled Holly in her moses basket at about 8pm where she stayed asleep until just after 11pm when she woke for a feed. She then went back in her basket instead of our bed and stayed asleep until 5am when she came into our bed for another feed and a cuddle. Lets hope it continues!

    We've got my mum coming up to stay with us for a week today so that I'm not straight on my own when DH goes back to work on weds. Looking forward to seeing her but also know that by the end of the week I'll be looking forward to the space! It's the silly things like being able to stretch out on the sofa in the evening!

    To add to the grandparent name debate- my mum is Nanny, DH's parents are Grandma and Grandpa and my Dad and Stepmum are Nanny and Grandad.

    Ah bliss - the big two are back to school. :D
    I'm enjoying a cuppa or two and have had a shower in peace.

    Happy Anniversary Aless.

    Grandparents (and great Grandmother) are all Nanny followed by their names. So Nanny Ann(y), Nanny Shirley, Nanny Dot, Grandads are Grumpy Grandad :p, Grandad Tommy & Grandad police.
    But that's just what they're called at home, they're just Nanny and Grandad when we're with them, (except Grumpy Grandad who gets his full title). :rotfl:

    Alice probably has whooping cough - not asthma. Unfortunately it could last another couple of months and there's nothing they can do about it. The sleep disturbance is worse than having a newborn (or at least worse than Alice ever was).

    Poor Alice. :(

    I haven't heard of anyone with whooping cough for years. Even if there is no instant cure, is there nothing that can help her (and you) through the months it takes for it to go?
