    sending Ikea to the naughty step for wasted journey

    krystal-did changing the batteries work ?
    It did yes... I am oddly surprised at the crapness of the kodak batteries... and already missing my old rechargable camera that lasted forever... But had a strange smudgy bit in the middle of the frame...

    Sugar, I really hope you can come... I need a quote for some building work...

    Lovely pictures Mfd... And I wouldn't worry too much about the tongue, they heal really well... You can't even tell I had my tongue pierced for 10 years ;)

    Caitlyn had a really disturbed night for no apparent reason and started the day at 6:30... In a rotten miserable mood... I've put her down for a nap but she's just lying in the cot shouting to herself now so I don't hold out much hope for a little nap myself...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

  • morning all

    why am i so nervous about going to a bf group? seems silly but i can't help it, will just have to be brave!!

    ds was a bit of a grump this morning, think he's tired and it's been a long first week at school, though he's already been invited to a party next saturday and we've had 2 school trip letters home already. Supposed to be going to a curriculum evening tonight but not sure i've anyone to have jack so will have to see.

    Saleshopper - I would definitely reccommend giving your local bfing group a go. I went about 3 times and while it wasn't for me (our peer supporters just seemed to dominate the conversation talking about their personal lives) I met my very good Mummy friend who we now see at least 3 times a week. We also met another girl who introduced us to the stay and play group.

    Has Bruno popped in today? How's Mrs Bruno? And how is the sleeping in the big boy bed going?
    I'm getting a little bored with sitting upstairs for an hour minimum. every night trying to get V to sleep in her big girl bed. :( Plus i'm not sure what time it happens, but every morning she's in with us. :(
    I've been up there since half 7 tonight. OH went up to take over about 15 minutes ago and she doesn't look like she wants to go to sleep any time soon.

    Morning all

    Thanks 3, I was lurking but very worn just now between high-stress work, bad sleep and fragile OH... not much energy to do stuff in the evenings bar press refresh.
    Mrs B is over her UTI thanks to the anti-b's or so we believe; however seems to be combining the shortness of breath from third trimester big baby, and more asthma than usual... so the last few nights she's had to get up and use inhaler, in the evenings she's just been on the sofa gasping... :/ we see midwife on Monday but don't suppose there is any very useful advice. Going out to buy new duvets and pillows today in case anything there is causing the extra asthma.

    Big boy bed is going quite well for us... sounds like a nightmare for you!! :( As long as it's around his regular bedtime, he is no worse than he was in the cot - I usually have to go in a few times to re-settle still, which is not great, but that's not a function of the big boy bed. He almost always stands up in it and calls for me, rather than getting out and roaming. I have no good advice for you though, just sympathy :/ ugh.

    Tia, you are maybe on the wrong Uni course? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11219411

    bruno from roughly 22 weeks with kessie I had asthma in the nights. I think my lungs were getting a bit squished at the bottom. I used to have a proactive puff of ventolin at about 8.30 which stopped it launching a bigger wheeze. If I tried to leave it, it seemed to be worse but a little puff nipped it in the bud.
