    Congrats EA :D!!

    does 1-2 mean that many weeks pregnant or days?

    My cat is sitting opposite me at the dining table, staring me out either side of a sweet chilli sauce bottle, there is no more sachets of food and I put down some canned stuff I had left and she is thoroughly displeased by this. She will start chewing a plastic carrier bag soon........ah there she goes.

    Chews it and stares at me, it's like "oh god you are starving me, so Im having to eat plastic, feed me now woman" there is about a billion biscuits down but no no, has to be felix taste the difference. archie only costs about 25p a week to feed! She costs me about a tenner the fat moo!

    I might go to morrisons and get something in for tea, house is a bit old mother hubbard, but I am tired.......what to dooooooo

    He's still pretty young, CAFC :) someone with better/more recent memory will correct me, but I don't think you have much to worry about at this point - tummy time and toys to reach for seems to cover it, and <3 months it's no surprise he's not doing much yet :) you will look back at his immobile stage with fond affection once he starts emptying your cutlery draws and leaving toys in the toilet bowl :p

    Thats what we have the Pug for currently....

    God only knows what'll happen when the two of them together...
    so far they are content with licking each other.... more so Gordon licking Landen, I dont think Landen has a clue :rotfl:

    I think I might strangle my son. :mad:

    His latest annoying obsession is posting stuff under the fridge/freezer.

    I've just pulled it out to clean underneath and found;
    Mine & OH's sets of keys,
    4 scissors,
    8 pens,
    A necklace
    and a huge selection of elastic bands/hair bobbles/clips.


    BTW: Has anyone seen a fridge lock that works on the big american style ones? It has two long chrome handles running the height of the doors.

    I am a bit envious of you actually EA, not that you are pregnant but at how happy you are about it and how easy it seems to be for you. I think we are similar age? (I'm 22 but had Keira at 18) and i can tell you now, If I had a pregnancy test show up with 2 lines when she was a few months old, I'd of probably been suicidal :o

    It just seems to come so easy for you, and I suppose I'm a bit jealous that I never managed that or managed to be devoted to Keira (like you are with lily) when she was a few months old.

    I sound like a right pleb now?
  • CAFC I think E started being able to pull himself up on his hands about 6 weeks ago is? he used to snuffle the mat as well even though he could really hold his head ok, so L will get there

    BM I know what you mean, for all I am broody atm I would cry if I fell pregnant, cos I have found it so hard with E.
    I remember reading how hard you were finding it, and thinking to myself "I didn't have it that hard and I still thought it was the worst thing ever" Keira was a very good baby, no barf, no screaming, no reflux, no colic, she slept through the night at 4 months etc, but I still found it SO hard adjusting. I suppose everyone is different though and I think once they get a bit older, it's a lot easier, plus you can actually enjoy them, and see their little personalitys developing.

    They are pretty dull when they are first born, just a screaming, eating pooping machine that stops you getting a full night sleep :o

    Morning all..

    Sorry, have been reading but being used as a climbing frame by Rhys too so usually no spare arm to reply :(

    3, we have one of these which has locks in it which are supposed to (as in i haven't tried them yet!) lock together the handles of double cupboards. Maybe they would work on the fridge handles too? :)

    BM, I still have moments (or days - like today! :o) where I'm finding it hard to adjust! :cool: Am a bit p'd off with OH who has swanned off to work, with his gym bag in tow for later, which doesn't help... :p

    Congrats EA :D (I'm in the "I would freak!" camp too tho! ;))

    Hope everyone else is okay xx
