Very true Susan, Bob Geldof's got a 'Peaches' too. Although they're both girls (with daft names)

Thanks hun, and everyone.....
I'm a bit mental at the best of times and its just all been mounting. Things were better yesterday night, and I did get up and do L's morning feed, and now DH has him in bed while they watch tv together and he gets his second breakfast (Yes my baby is a hobbit!)

Awww you're sweet, maybe in the new year we can all arrange to be at the lakes at the same time or something, and hang out for a day..... since you've been mentionning it, ive been intrigued and then we were watching Lakes on a Plate yesterday and I wanna go! :T

Anyone know where can get nice dungarees elliot's weight makes him pretty much too big for 6-9 month trousers, and even some 9-12 month ones we have are tight on his belly, but are far too long on the leg as well.

So i got thinking this morning that the might be more comfortable in dungarees, he does have some cotton pants which aren't as tight on his belly, but i am worried about him getting codlin the winter in those

Confession time
I've found exactly the same thing for L (and of course he is not benefitting massively from E's dungaress ((thanks hun ))....
What I thought of doing for trousers is just putting some tights on him if its really cold. I know theyre meant for girls etc,but whatever he can cross dress now :cool: just some cream ones or something, and then the jersey cotton trousers over the top.... L seems much mor comfy in jogger style bottoms than jeans etc, as the jeans cut into his fat belly :A

So despite my early start, and the dog phishing up the sofa, i've got a nice cup of coffee in my xmas mug (Im not ashamed to admit it!) and im feeling ok....
Challenge with chatting to HV is three fold.... one all the ones ive met are proper drippy and wet, and two i dont really like talking to people, and three i just dont want to :rotfl:
I have days where im fine, dancing on the ceiling etc, and then days where i just feel like DH doesnt understand anything, proper drag me down....

but if i were to seriously think about it with a level head, i know im not depressed.... just phished off and upset..... but given my personality, i end up blowing it out of proportion...

Plus i started the contraceptive pill last week and it was awful, felt so sick, vomitting etc, read the leaflet and low and behold like Susan it should never have been prescribed to me - although why i expect anything other than giant c*cks ups is beyond me!!! And its given me a horrendous skin irritation as well on my knees and elbows, which itch like crazy so im wandering about slathered in sudocream all day.....
I stopped taking it after 4 days, but the rash is still there and ive know had AF for 9 days (although its tailing off now)....

phew giant post, all woe is me, i do apologise to all....

i need to re heat my coffee now

Michelle - do package turn up? I know KK got hers and i posted them same time, so just wondered....

KK - How was T's night last night, better i hope?

Kindof - YAY for E sleeping through....

Hugs and love to all who need them, and thanks to everyone for being a support

CAFC, the Germans routinely put boys in tights. Lidl had boys' design tights last week, would you like me to see if they have any left? And how tall is L? They're done here by height, so 62/68, 68/74 etc.

My midwife just completely ignored my request for emotional help, literally she didn't answer my email. Any HV would be better than that, and even if you don't take it any further surely it would be good to have on record that you weren't feeling so great. But it does sound like you've been under a lot of stress. :grouphug:

Glad to hear you're feeling okay today and no need to apologise - we all have good days and bad days and sometimes it helps to talk (or write) about it.

CAFC, tights sound sensible, they'll keep his tummy and back warm and he won't be able to pull his socks off either.

I know what you mean about not talking to people, and HVs do seem rather carp. It's not good to spend too much time in your own head - take that from someone bigger and uglier than you, who's spent waaay too much time with herself- but it is hard living away from your family and friends.

I shan't suggest getting out there and 'meeting people', cos I want to punch people when they suggest that, as it's not that easy is it? Do you have anything that is just 'you' that you could maybe do when Landen snoozes?

My baby has never been able to pull his socks off *shrug* he still can't!!

He can take his own shirt off though

You can usually get dungaree sets at the supermarkets (it is where I do all my baby shopping )

Yeah chatting to you fine people....

Sugar - awww thanks hun. Its not too cold here just yet, and with Landens growth, ive no idea how tall he might possibly be when he will need then.... but he wont mind some girlies ones

SS - im glad someone got me LOTR innuendo....

we're off to mamas and papas shop (the guilt has hit DH) to test out the pushchairs so i know which one to go for on ebay

Morning all!

Just wanted to say thank you Gill for the fairy post!

Also, I just made my very first ever batch of jam (blackberry & apple). Looks delicious, hope it tastes so!

Finn is getting very frustrated with himself trying so hard to crawl! Poor thing, I'm sure he'll get it soon!
