Ouchee - sounds painful Em. Hope it is something easily resolved. Has he been weeing okay?

Benjamin keeps getting a little stiffie when I change his nappy - he thinks that it is hilarious :rotfl::rotfl:

He has been weeing fine, no sign of anything weeping in his nappy or anything and they are still getting quite chunky as they do when full of wee! OH thinks he has been either bouncing too vigourously on his new bounce and spin zebra (the purpleness was there before we went to get the zebra so god knows where that logic is coming from, but ho hum he is male!) or he thinks he may have yanked it too hard at nappy change time and bruised it!!
It feels quite hard and swollen so I guess its possible, not knowing much about the way these things work I'm just not sure!

They keep on having them SS! in August we spent a small fortune on clothes for DSS and he has shot up and his trousers are short already :mad::mad:

I need to sort Benjamin out with some 18-24 month trousers - he has plenty of pairs of shorts but he can't really wear them now

Primark are doing toddler jeans for £3, I bought 2 pairs in each colour and put one pair away and took one pair up! I dont mind that he will grow out of the taken-up pair sooner at that price:money:

Those of you with 2 kids (or more) of the same flavour - any suggestions for a good new baby gift?

One of my mummy friends had a second baby girl last week (her eldest was 2 in July) and I don't really want to buy clothes/books/toys because they have everything from the first babba.

I am completely bereft of ideas....

Also - do you think that it would be a good idea to buy the 2yo a little something for when we visit?

I'd go for big/little sis matching tops, when you arrive ignore the baby and speak to the toddler first, she'll probably be excited and want to show your her new sister and it'll all be lovely

Were the 2 born around the same season? I ended up needing a lot of new clothes for Ed because he was a summer baby and Chris was winter, aimming for #3 in the middle of their b-days

Mfd I was also about to suggest matching t-shirts. L's favourite thing ever was an "I'm the big sister" top, although she was a bit older than 2! Mothercare do little sized ones, I had to get ours from eBay.

The other ones were t-shirts from simply colours. L has Liv 2000 and v has the same colour and wording violet 2009. Very cute and good quality.

well done for steps and teeth

Hugs for poorly mums and babies, Charlie was sick in the bath tonight and is now sound alseep so think he may have a bug?

Must be a loosing streak here as i lost the hire car keys last night, i couldnt sleep as i was terrified someone was going to steal it! Found them this morning. I am very forgetful just now and its getting really bad?

My kittens are eating bubble and squeak and are growling at me when i try to take it away lol!

Presents i would buy a baby record book/photo album for the baby and a doll or book for 2 year old

I need sore throat cures. It's that horrible dry soreness.

Matching T shirts are cool. And yes a little pressie for the big sister, and like Sami said, say hi to her first.

Bingo posters, I've just asked a question in the newbie forum. Please feel free to post inanely

Think I'm going to grab some painkillers and head to bed. Cool weather causes achey joints around here and I just turned my wrist too quickly and almost made myself sick.

I was trying to work it out - elder one is July, younger one September so they might not have much winter littlie stuff...but the elder one is tiny (still only just in 12-18 month stuff, Benjamin is bigger than her) so they might have some things.

*shrugs*

Matching tops sounds good though - ta
