MOTM - what does it say in Lucy's notes? Have you checked them through carefully for accuracy too - when we went for my 12 week scan we realised that they had put down that hubby and I were blood related :eek::eek::eek:
They must have been checking the scan for extra fingers and toes and toes because of the inbreeding :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:please listen to MFD - she is a wise womanProud Mummy to the gorgeous Benjamin John born 14 March 2009, 8lbs 14ozA new little seedling on the way, due 30 September 20120 -
Thanks Bruno, glad E is getting a bit better at night... I'm sure he'll get earlier eventually
I am incredibly fortunate with Caitlyn and I am continually counting my blessings that she's the complete opposite to how Aimee was... She always goes down well for her morning nap, usually sleeps for 2 hours minimum and often has 30-60mins late afternoon nap too... And we rarely have trouble from her when we put her to bed at night... We put them both down together between 7 and 8... We can often hear them messing around, but not enough to warrant going in to them... They settle down and sleep eventually... And just this week Caitlyn has been waking up at 7ish but in a good enough mood that Aimee can sit and read her a story and I can lie in bed for a few more minutes listening to them...
I believe it's the child not the routine that makes them a sleeper...My_Fathers_Daughter wrote: »Edit - how cute Krystal - Benjamin literally rattles the door handle if he isn't upstairs by 7pm but naps are a bit more hit and miss (he wants to sleep in the morning for me, but only sleeps in the afternoon for the CM so I try to keep him in the same routine)
If he's tired and cranky for you without a morning nap then I would be inclined to put him down anyway... They're incredibly adaptable so he'd be fine with 1 routine with you and a different routine for the CM...

Can you remember what she measured at?
We're confused as to what MW thought. Mentioning VTS would suggest she thought she was earlier, but mentioning she was big etc may suggest she thought she was further along, or maybe she was just covering her backside with all eventualities?
Unless it's in the many pieces of literature Lucy was handed at the end, and we haven't looked as we put it to one side for the rest of the day, then she didn't tell us. If it's not in amongst all the paperwork, would they tell us over the phone?
Will leave it for today as twins birthday. Can't believe they are 10 :lipsrseal I have no babies with one digit anymore. I feel old :undecided0 -

If he sleeps in the morning then he only has 40 mins or an hour...and he doesn't sleep in the afternoon when he usually has 2 or even 3 hours
I am happy with a baby who is a bit cranky sometimesmeans I get more cuddles
I have had more kisses from Benjamin this morning than I have gotten over the last month or more. Suddenly he realised that kisses make mummy happy so he kept coming and giving me more and more :Aplease listen to MFD - she is a wise womanProud Mummy to the gorgeous Benjamin John born 14 March 2009, 8lbs 14ozA new little seedling on the way, due 30 September 20120 -

Caitlyn called me Mama today and gave me a cuddle... That never happens! She also never kisses me... But maybe in a few weeks she'll make the connection like Benjamin

Do any of you have really grubby babies? Sophie is a total grot magnet (doesn't say much about my housekeeping skills atm
), which I could understand if she was crawling about, but she isn't.
My baby has always been a dirt magnet and a soap dodger :rotfl: I take it to mean that she is exploring her environment and is dirty because she's interested and active. Some babies get dirtier than others, and when people comment on it I smile and say, Yes, she loves exploring her surroundings, isn't it great when a baby's so engaged and happy?My_Fathers_Daughter wrote: »when we went for my 12 week scan we realised that they had put down that hubby and I were blood related :eek::eek::eek:

Sorry.
I can't see the post you made on Bastage Camp's page, I even joined the group to see it and still couldn't, so I unjoined because I don't want to be associated with them in any way at all - although I don't work directly with children with autism I'm still always a little bit concerned that something like that might imply that I am pro-"healing" and that gives off the wrong message.
That was longwinded, sorry.Organised Birthdays and Christmas: Spend So Far: £193.75; Saved from RRP £963.76

I had standard replies 'thank you for informing us - we're unable to comment on specific cases'.
MFD you're still on the page - they must be having a big lie in today. :rotfl:
Mum had a reply from the house owner (it had been mentioned that all £1200 had been paid to her). She said our contract is not with her but with WW and go to them. :mad:
Does anyone know anything about facebook pages?
I want it to appear when anyone searches bastage camp or WW - will I need to include both in the title?
My phone has been missing all morning - and switched off when I tried to phone it. I've just asked V 'where is mummys phone', and she went and got it out of the freezer. :eek: It's very cold, do you think it'll be ok? :rotfl::beer:0 -
