    I have a friend who still gets a letdown when she cuddles a very new baby and her youngest is 9. I suggested she should go back in time and be a highly paid wetnurse but she didn't like the idea of all the corsets.

    Very exciting, Bruno, I hope v2.0 cooperates and shows you the good stuff. And :j for Elijah's potty interest - and for Maz's Henry and his successes too.

    Also, apropos of the discussion last night, Fox News is reporting that Gisele Bundchen breastfed for three weeks and then stopped. So I think we can safely ignore her, yes?

    Thanks 3 :) we are in fact 21.5 weeks I think! And yes, hopefully we will be, one less uncertainty/thing to think about.

    To those hunting 3's exciting post of last night I cannot help, but apropos of nothing I will ask, shamelessly, those of you who BF (and those of you who aren't, I guess?), how long did it take for your boobies to stop leaking?

    How subtle! :o

    Talking of boobies - how is the feeding (or not) of E now?

    Those 21.5 weeks have flown by Bruno! :eek: Do you have an idea of what you think it is? Is her pregnancy being the same? I was sick and fat all over when I was having J.
    With V & L i only felt sick (no real sick) and just had a bump without the matching fat face/arms/legs/backside!


    And :j:T for potty/toilet successes.

    German teenagers are outside singing the Spice Girls "Wannabe". They seem to be slightly unsure of the words :rotfl:

    Molly is bored of her play dome and is now unpacking her trouser drawer. Again. Which I confess is a slight improvement on her harassment of the shoe rack and a massive improvement on her preference for unpacking the nappy bin :eek:

  • Morning lovelies :hello:

    It's lovely to be [STRIKE]slobbing[/STRIKE] relaxing at home this morning after our long weekend with the in-laws. Henry and I also both managed a whole night's sleep for the first time since we went away so I feel decidedly spritely today, which is lovely!

    :j:jFor those having success at potty training!

    Good luck with the scan Bruno, how exciting!

    Not much planned today- the usual washing, post office, bank and then getting the house sorted so it is reasonably organised for others looking after H when I am back at work!

    When you get into New Street with a pushchair, you have to walk to the end of the platform, get a lift down to the subway and then another lift up to the concourse. You end up getting out of the lift away from where the rest of the world arrives off the train.

    You can either turn left and wait by the WHSmith / M&S that's there or walk round to the left from there and walk past a small burger king and all the barriers where everyone else appears and there is a coffee shop kind of thing and some seating areas...

    Thanks Krystal - may I have your phone number please as I may get confused/lost trying to find you!

    :j I have booked my tickets :j. I decided to go from Gloucester after all (DH is working in the area so can drop us off and pick us up so no stoooopid car park charges ;)). We will arrive at New Street at 10.45


    Happy Birthday Miss Molly

    Happy Birthday Beccles

    Happy Birthday Amelie

    Yay for scans and potty training!

    Maz, any progress on the is it/isn't it CP?

    Anyone seen Fattybooboo lately?

    I am such a bad Mummy, I have given David my throat infection and it is making me laugh. He looks so very confused when he tries squealing and not a lot of noise comes out :o:rotfl:

    Som, have you considered a baby jogger city mini? Me and WIM have one and I love it. I live very rurally and it is fab to use on bumpy lanes and grass.
    The one thing children wear out faster than shoes is parents ;):o:D

    Bruno we have taken the same approach with Charlie, no pressure but let him use potty/toilet as and when he asks and we have had a lot of success!! he loves to wee standing up and i still giggle as i walk past and see him on his tiptoes :D
    Hope the scan goes well and baby behaves and lets you have a look

    Am on my phone catching up, so this hopefully will be short. Otherwise the internet will die lol.
    Aless, Lily sleeps from 8pm, but we take her upto bed with us at 10. She sleeps in her rocker chair in its laying flat position.

    Som, im hopefully starting driving lessons when our deposit comes back.

    Bruno, good luck for your scan today! Hope baby opens its legs for you :rotfl:
    Happy birthday to Miss Molly, Becles and Amelie :)
    Going out soon with Lilys cousin, so 'see' you all later.
