Hi!:)

Firstly here's some pics of Daisy who was born 12 days ago (would be rude not to share them;)) :D:D



Just after she was born. Sadly I didn't see her when she was born as my c section went wrong:(





Having cuddles with her big brother:D

She's such a little sweetie but has discovered her voice now!!:eek::rotfl:

Main reason I'm posting... Hip Scan Daisy needs one due to being breech so I was hoping someone could tell me what it involves?? Will it be upsetting??:o

Hi Smartie - she is gorgeous!!!

Benjamin had a few hip scans and they were fine. They have it set up here so you undress baby outside down to vest and nappy. Then they call you in and you put baby in one of the plastic cots with some padding in it to hold them on their side. It is the same scanner as your ultrasound (smaller head) so they pull vest up slightly, undo nappy and squirt gel on - then they scan for a few mins to take some measurements. You get to stay next to baby to comfort them and help turn them to the other side etc.

They are used to it being tiny babies and new mummies so it is all very quiet and calm and the room is quite dark to keep baby calm.


Nothing at all to worry about. I know other places do it slightly differently but nobody has reported a bad experience in the 18 months I have been here (and quite a few have been for them) xx

Bruno, D often breaks into California dreaming for no reason... I like to do the backing vocals and substitute "and the sky is grey" for "and David's Gay..." We haven't been singing it around E though... Obviously

Michelle, I bought the ELC sit me up cosy... It was a waste of money... A fleece blanket and a pile of toys had a lot more play value for Caitlyn...

Beenie, that's perfectly acceptable for a 4yo... Aimee got the Fifi watering can house when she was 4... All the bits used to pop off it and it did my head in so I freecycled it with a load of other toys...

Hope DH feels better soon Mfd, sorry you missed your brother though

We went to church this morning and on the way back we pass a field with horses in... They're often roped off into different parts of the field so often can only look at them from a distance, today they were roped off right by the fence so we went to say hello... One stuck it's head over the fence, bent right down and tried to eat Caitlyn's foot... She did not look too impressed... Although when we pulled the pushchair back she did keep waving her feet around in a provocative way, think she liked the attention really...

I am not a good singer(!), and to my knowledge I've never sung it to him before... maybe OH has... ponder.

Or maybe he has heard it on the radio? Clever boy anyway

CAFC, my store has some isles of stuff out too.

Off to get dressed, I'm taking Chris and Amber over to see my mum who I haven't seen or spoken too since April. Wish me luck.

Good luck!

We've had a fun morning - DH has been a bit poorly, so he didn't come swimming, but me and Izzy had a fun time at the pool. She amazed me by doing lots of swimming on her own (she has one of those swimming costumes with the floaty bits built in), and we were in for ages. She didn't want to get out, but she was going a bit blue, so I had to drag her out to her great disgust, then we had fun in the shower instead. :rotfl:

And i made tomatoey pasta, which she woolfed down, and ate half of mine too. Either it was the most yummy thing she had tasted for ages, or swimming gave her an apetite. :cool:

Hey all

How is everyone? I am going to head back and catch up in a min

I need a footmuff for my obaby stroller I want a footmuff for when we go to the lakes just incase its freezing, now I have two for my graco, would they fit or do I need to buy a obaby one?

The only problem with the obaby one is that you cant attatch it to the pram (where if I remember right the graco one has holes to put the harness straps through so therefore it wont move) and that when baby wiggles the footmuff does too

ladybirdintheuk

Kindof - I would think if it is one with holes you just put the strap through then it would fit on any buggy? Might be worth trying it out. We have a generic one that I've used on all the buggies we have had

Krystaltips

kindof, most footmuffs have ties at the top that you tie around the bars of the stroller so they're pretty universal, the exceptions being ones that are specifically designed for certain prams... EG, the Oyster footmuff has poppers at the back that popper directly onto the pushchair seat (and it doesn't move at all) and the Maclaren has velcro at the back of the pushchair seat where the footmuff would velcro on to it...

Smartie, hubby wants to know where the very hungry caterpillar outfit came from, he has to have one lol...

My_Fathers_Daughter

Well hubby is out of bed and has kept down a slice of toast and a banana.. so far...

Benjamin is still napping, despite the best efforts of the tattas *rolleyes*

Thanks MFD for the hip scan info:)

Sainsburys. Bought the outfit ages ago so not sure if they'll still have it.

Right Em have done my homework and yes I think that style would fit on a round seat. The back doesn't matter as it only slides over the back. Then it is a clip under the seat which you would just pull as tight as poss so it was extra secure on the round chair.

Smartie Daisy is gorgeous
