MSE Parents Club Part 13

Somnium

Boo - thanks I will keep an eye out for them and get some for when she is bigger, they look so cute on Isla, and honest I wont copy your pic with the tutu (crosses fingers behind back).

Kindof - T sleeps in her travel cot thru the day (apart from the odd short nap on me after a feed). Although she does occasionally fall asleep on our bed too if I'm up there doing something. To be honest she'll nap where ever though pushchair, car seat, floor!

redstar - lovely pics, Im uber jelous of peeps with door bouncers.

Buttons - best of luck to you hun, you deserve it x

MFD - cute pics

CAFC - great news about L and G getting on. I was relieved when T and Harvey met and they are so good together

Pigpen - you LO is so cute and I love the name you chose for her, congrats to you all xxx

JAM - the cats look like there saying "Do you not feed this child!"

SJ - Thats sacrelidge (sp) no gravy :eek: and beans!!
EA - Could I have that FB linkie for portsmouth prams please, I dont mind travelling if I can get one for a good price.

Cant remember who posted which idea but bananas and choc buttons and fruit with cinnamon are fab bbq ideas, will def try both of those when we get a place with a garden and a bbq

Well baby clinic was manic yesterday and ended up waiting so long to be seen had to dash back to the car and get another ticket! T now ways 14lb 11oz and is still on 50th centile so thats good, and talked to HV about starting to wean. She was all for us starting now T is 5 months. I did mention we wanted to do BLW and she was really pleased as they said not many people want to give it a go and could I let her know how I get on, so I thought that was really nice. We will mix in a few puree's to start too as her hand to mouth cordination is hit and miss atm, but she can have some of our carrots and broccoli to start playing with at dinner. Debating buying a BLW book just for some ideas, but am sure Internet is more MSE, but a book I could show to OH and more importantly MIL.

Right off Mura hunting again see if anything new has appeared. So far am checking Ebay, Netmums, Freecycle, Free ads, Gumtree, Pre loved and Prams for sale. My friend said Im Mura whipped!!! Any ideas of other places I can check? I dont mind a drive if its a good buy, we nearly got one in Essex yesterday.

Morning all. Sorry I poppen so so briefly last night. I caved in and sat with Izzy while she went to sleep. Then I had to do the same for 2 hours in the middle of the night too.

As of tonight we will resart CC trying with maximum consistency and willpower. :cool: And she won't be getting away with a two and half hour nap today either :rotfl:.

I ignored DH's alarm this morning, and it didn't wake Izzy up either, so the poor lamb had to walk to the bus stop. I expect grumpiness later :rotfl:.

I've not been on for a few days, so time for a catchup, as I've no idea what anyone is talking about. Is there anything important I need to know?

Morning Hubby has taken Elliots car seat out of the car this morning as it's going into the garage, Elliot loves his seat so much he's sitting in it in the living room with his cup of milk and blanket! He is daft.

The weather's looking rubbish here, so no trip to the park today Oh well, I'll have a walk with my big rain coat on looking rather silly lol. It's ok for Elliot in his puschair nice and dry under the raincover!

Keely.

Keley how cute

I've had a bit of a read back, but my brain is like a sieve at the mo. I know there were loads of cutie pictures. Especially baby Pigpen. congratulations pigpen!

BM what a twonk you have on your hands there. Get his bags packed

got-it-spend-it

When I started reading your post, MFD, I thought you were going to say that you didn't have to go to work today but had forgotten!

Well I have woked up with mega-pain in my shoulder and neck. I have no idea how I am going to look after a mobile 8 month old on my own all day- in fact the thought of it makes me cry . But OH has the last day of a three week course today and said he can't miss it :cool:. Facebook tells me they are going for a cooked breakfast and then cleaning the cars :mad:. I know he doesn't want to miss it, but I am a bit peed off.

Hugs to those who've had bad nights. I hope you manage a nap today!

If you won't need it for a while (?) you can have my door bouncer at the next manc meet, barely used it , can't see me ever using it for any subsequent babies

m/brook hasn't got the gates this time, i got mine there for Chris but since they started putting the promo stuff at the front of store they don't seem to have as much.
Tesco have some baby bits on cheapness atm but all i can remember is the little food pots are £1:o

Thanks for the offer - tbh I could do with one now to do him until he's big enough for a jumperoo, but if I can't find a cheap one then he can do without until I see you :j

MFD - LOL and *hugs* at getting up an hour early

Chopsticks - Becles has been posting recently but it was her bday 2 days ago so I think she's maybe had a hectic couple of days

Keely - Elliott sounds very cute sitting in his chair.

SJ - (or anyone else who knows) Did you find out what was the cause of Alfie's green poo? Thomas's was very green yesterday morning then he appeared to have diawoowoo all day. I think we changed about 8 dirty nappies! Had to change him twice overnight too which is unheard of! It gradually got more normal coloured all day, then when DH changed his nappy 1st thing it was very green again. He seems very well and happy in himself, even his teething isn;t bothering him too much. He had a bottle of expressed milk day before yesterday and I'm wondering if it was connected to that.

I think we're going to go to Ikea this morning to get T's highchair. He keeps whinging when we're having T then is fine when DH brings him up to the table with us and sits him on his knee so I think he might like to sit in his high chair and play with some toys. I'll be passing a couple of Asdas on the way (ish) as well lol

I just got some cheap nappies too :j:j:j

Our asda never reduces things, I rang earlier and they said they hadnt but I went and looked this evening and they had! I got 4 mega boxes of huggies for £5.50 each and 4 boxes of johnsons wipes for £2.50 each - I hate those wipes but at that price I'll hold my nose and get on with it :rotfl::rotfl:

OH is day off tomorrow and I am at work, and he plans to make a fort with all the boxes...!

I went last night and got 2 MEGA boxes of Pampers 5's for £6, went back this morning and they had all gone so picked up 3 boxes of Huggies 5's instead for £5.50! I am a Pampers snob but for the price I'll convert for a little bit!
The 5's are probably too big as he's only just gone into 4+ but we'll get use out of them eventually.

not had chance to catch up so hope everyone's OK.

I have just realised I've got the boiler being serviced between 2 and 4, and I've booked Caitlin in for her first hair cut at 2:45. :mad:

We are very jealous of haircuts! Can we have before and after pictures please?


We actually had a lovely time this morning with an hour to just play together (hubby was away last night so it was just the 2 of us). Benjamin helped me to change the bed which was tons of fun - especially running from one end of the bed to the other and bouncing on it when it was unmade

Also had a chance to stay for a while at the CM's. She was saying that Benjamin has started getting his changing mat when he has done a poo and if he hasn't done a poo and she changes his nappy he says 'No Poopies' :T:T:T




Gill - green poop can be a sign that baby isn't eating enough but can also be a sign of a little bit of a tummy bug. It could possibly be that the bottle was turned a little but it could just be one of those things. Make sure he is still getting lots of feeds, especially if it is going straight through him, and hopefully it will pass. If it carries on for a few days then it might be worth seeing someone. I think this is one of the points where 'you know your baby best' comes in you will know yourself if he is poorly.
