    Picked up the freebie door bouncer and T loves it :D tried to take pics but standing still was not an option!

    Some more lovely pics been posted I see x

    T keeps biting me and it really hurts :( she even made me cry! But it's really more of a nip cos it's over quickly so the pushing her into my boob doesn't work as she's already stopped. I hope this doesn't carry on as I'm enjoying bf for the best part.

    Omg i've just sobbed my face off at 16 & Pregnant, they gave the baby away for adoption :( Made me :(:(:(:( I couldn't do it.
    Makes me torn between admiring those who can, or being angry that they won't work around whatever problems it is they have. She was crying her eyes out, i wanted her to change her mind and take her baby home :(

    Welcome back Carla :) how are you?

    SJ just wanted to say that new cupboards might not fix your damp problem and generally if you have damp you should inform your landlord so they can fix it.

    All Molly's furniture is from Ikea :rotfl: She still doesn't have her own room because Husband's crap is still stored in the "nursery" - the Ikea storage/changing table was supposed to be a temporary measure cause it's cheap and easy and we could sell it on.

    That's a corner of our living room you saw :o
    lol, shhh you could totally got away with us thinking you had a play room ;)

    I wouldn't worry, Edgar nipped me with every new tooth, it was like a lil game to try out the new tooth, I'm sore atm because tooth #8 came through yesterday but he'll be back to normal within a week. If he did it repeatedly at one feed I would put him down and leave him for a minute before offering him milk again.

    EA - Have you told the HV/GP about Lily's puking? if she is being sick with every bottle and appears to be loosing weight then I would be wanting to get her checked for reflux, there is a kind known as silent reflux where they are "happy chuckers"

    busy day here including getting double the difference back because Tesco over charged me :p so I got this http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3675360.htm for £10 :D Also organised Chris's first settling in session at nursery - exciting :)

  • Morning all. Hi Carla :)

    We've been up since 5:30 again. I'm going to have to start going to bed at 9pm if this continues! (And use my time productively in the morning once we are up of course!)

    Yay for more OBEM. And Can I a little bird tell ME who dt1 is too?! I feel like I'm missing a bit secret now!

    Work for me again today. I need to do a packing list, as we (me and Izzy... DH is working and also says he is going to do some decorating while we are away) are off away for the weekend to visit a friend. We are going Thursday night so we can go to playgroup with them on Friday - it is funny how weekens away change isn't it! I'm sure we will manage a glass or two of wine though ;) Normally I can write a packing list at work no problem, but not sure I can manage it while juggling training someone and still doing my job too (I seem to be expected to do as much while I'm training someone as I do normally... luckily I know how to say NO but it doesn't always work ;) ) Never mind, so long as we have enough nappies and our toothbrushes that is the main thing ;)

    Was that from series one? Caityln? I cried my eyes out at that as well, I was pregnant at the time, I was torn between how could you do that, and wow I am so proud they did that

    Cos they knew they couldnt raise her and I admire them for wanting her to have a good life

    Gill - fab pics :)

    Well we had another good night, he went to bed at half 7, I dream fed him at half 9, then he woke for a feed at half 1, then woke up at half 5
