MOTM I was in the US and watching daytime TV one day, turned on Oprah's breast cancer special. They had a woman showing exactly how to palpate the breast to check for lumps - but they fuzzed it out :mad: and then on the next channel was uncut Terminator 2. Unbelievable. Violence, totally ok. Nonsexual boobs, verboten.

It really is unbelieveable. Something my girls could watch for their health reasons censored, but it's okay to blow people up, even ficticiously.

Now that's something that gets my back up and it would happen in the UK too.

I know we have a baby channel somewhere on Sky. May check that with Lucy. Can't do any harm.

I can do sep 29th too - would love to meet you and Benjamin MFD.

NMS - I would be very upset if my Mum did that but I really admire your reaction. I need to work on getting calmer and less agitated on things concerning T as my current insular anger towards things MIL does doesnt help anyone lol

Got T weighed, he's 14lb 12 so put on 6oz in last fortnight. He's back on the 50th centile instead of nearer 75th where he was last time. The HV said that was fine tho as he's hovered around the 50th centile since birth. She said is poo didn't sound like anything to worry about but I'm not quite convinced so think I will go and get him weighed next week again to make sure. I'm just worried that he could have put most of the 6lb on in the week before he got diawoowoo and not much since.

Decided against taking him swimming as he has been super sleep today. I think all the playing with my parents and sis yesterday has tired him out. We're going to go on Monday when there is a proper baby and toddler session on. I met my Mummy friend at the clinic and went for coffee and she is going to come swimming with me :j Her little boy is 7 weeks and very cute. It means we'll be able to help each other and is a bit less daunting than going on my own.

Afternoon everyone:D hope everyones good?

Got back from london last night rather than driving back today as i thought driving back and night would be quicker and less stressfull. omg driving through london is the worst driving experience i've ever had lol!! i actually dont know if i ended up in the congestion zone so might end up with a fine popping through my door!! would def not drive down again would get the coach or train, am now nice and chilled out in my own house though so all happy:)

Think OH missed me lots lol, i came home to a lovely clean house (and it was a tip when i left it!) so he is in my good books! was nice to get up this morning and not have any housework to do,

Hope everyone has a good day at the meet today, i couldnt have faced another long drive today!

thats great. i kept meaning to ask you but kept missing you when you were 'online'

very quiet. miss mum loads and i know she misses Kian loads. when she is here i let her be very much part of everything with Kian---feeding, nappy changes, walks out etc.

we skype every week so she can see Kian and he can show his new found skills... seeing him crawl on the webcam she said was amazing. Cant wait for her to see him when he takes those first steps.

it was great spending time with my brothers as well. Kian loved them and all the throwing around he got from them lol!!

You did ask once, but you probably missed the reply as this place moves quick.

It's good you have the technology to be able to show Kian off and that he enjoyed all the extra attention

No plans for you to move back or them come over? Not an option?

Lucy hasn't and won't tell her family about me or the baby. Not on speaking terms. I'd be on speaking terms with them, just to tell them what I thought of them

MOTM, I used to love watching the channel discovery home and health when i was pregnant as they have lots of baby/labour programmes, theres a few other channels to but think they're all in the same section on the sky menu so you'll prob see them as you're scrolling through.

OH NO!! I rarely watched any daytime TV even when I was at home but I remember very clearly seeing a close-up of a man demonstrating how to check your testicles properly on This Morning!! I had only just flicked over and got the shock of my life!!


Which reminds me - have all your menfolk checked their testicles after our recent scare - a young mans disease remember!

FWIW I would always refuse to watch a birth, I still would now in fact.

Although you may find that the baby channel is Baby TV - TV for babies!!

Thanks everyone.

Her legs and arms felt OK. but the rest of her body and her head are very warm. She's only got a nappy on at the moment. I tried the cool flannel and that's helped. It's hard to tell whether her temperature has gone done, as when she's crying, her skin seems cooler but clammy.

I'll take her temperature again when she wakes up. She's due some more Calpol but I'm not waking her up to give it to her.

Going to have a little read back now but before I go, MOTM have you had your MW appointment yet? Or is it not due yet? I've randomly got 26th August in my head!

Don't be afraid to take her to the hospital though. They are there for these very reasons, regardless of if you get a sh!tty nurse. It's their, albeit underpaid, job.

26th August is correct, blimey you remembered 23rd 15yo turns 16, 24th newly numbered 16yo gets GCSE's 26th midwife, 27th twins turn 10. Think I may take the 25th as a rest day :rotfl:

I've just found that channel, thanks I swear there was a baby channel, but can't find it. Maybe my eyes are going on me (cue some joke about what we were discussing earlier)

We'll give home and health a go and see what we can find.

MOTM- mum has said she would move over here, but its our intention to move there. although in the current financial climate we'd be no better off and would have to live with mum for quite a while. and as much as i love my mum, living with her for more than 2 weeks would probably start to annoy me. plus i think DH would kill my sister! lol!!
