My girls are being very sweet today, sitting eating left over pizza for lunch, Caitlyn just went and sat on Aimee's knee to eat hers

it's a lovely feeling isn't it when they like each other? Kes was giggling a lot at ferg yesterday, and when kes went up to bed ferg stood at the base of the stairs waving: 'dester! gone! by-bye dester, BYE!'

Sami: I am still kinda pumping.. although I will confess I havent for the past couple of days as I have felt run down and supply has gone downhill since T has been ill as I have been so busy with him. So I guess it could kinda be stalled.. I doubt I would be pregnant as the rare occasional I have been 'nice' to OH, we have used protection... but its just my worst fear atm as I am struggling with one baby nevermind two! (I really dont know how some of you do it, you must have several pairs of hands and the patience of a saint!)

I luckily didn't gain much weight at all during pregnancy, and people couldn't really tell until I was pregnant until near the end... but I seem to have gained weight in the past couple of weeks... I blame biscuits!!

I was hoping this day wouldn't come... Theo only JUST fits in his pram... he is so so long that his head touches the top and feet touch the bottom... If he grows anymore I cant really squeeze him in.. do babys grow much length-wise from 2 months until they can support their heads? I cant really afford another pram... plus I imagine all prams are similar size (he has almost outgrown his moses basket too which is a little bigger).

I had an MMR booster 4 days before Edgar was conceived, its not 'that' much of a problem
One MW told me there's no problem with the booster it's if it's your first one, I'm not convinced she had anything to back up that statement like but anyway Edgar is fine so I'm happy

Kitkat - are you pumping? if so it could be ages until periods return, BFing can stall your periods for months and months. I've spoken to one woman who's didn't return for 18mths after.

Ah OK. They gave it to me in the hospital after I had Squeak and told me that under no circumstances should I become pregnant in the next three months!

Given that I'd just been told I had MS, I had a tiny baby, missed my big monsters, really wanted to go home and couldn't walk without something to hold on to, getting busy was the last thing on my mind at the time :o

Little did I know I'd start being paranoid again way before 3 months :rotfl::rotfl:

ETA Kitkat there is still loads of room in Squeaks carrycot, but then it is huge and can be a bit of a nightmare on the bus to be honest sometimes.

Oh Sami now I have dust in my eye at work. Thank you it's a beautiful poem.

I've had to go get Alex from Childminders, he's thrown up everywhere. Now sat in his buggy at the side of my desk. He's fine, just threw up all the yacky stuff that's been bunging him up.

Wouldn't be here, but as per usual on a friday, have an urgent order that must, must, must be on site in Scotland tomorrow morning. So i'm waiting for TNT.

Thanks for all the hugs, It is much appreciated.

Awww more cuteness, I love it!
as I type Edgar is crawling all over Chris tickling him and kissing him, I give it 1 min before he gets over excited and bites him :rolleyes:

if you're wanting to continue you need to get to pumping again (I'm sure yo know this but just in case you need a push )
Does your pram lay flat in the next stage? if so it should be ok for him just a but sad for you if it means he's fwd facing?

gah my mum is soo annoying! She's at a caravan rally and pestering me to google quiz answers! She does it every year, I wouldn't mind but they only win a box of roses or similar. Doesn't she know I'm busy chatting to you lot

Afternoon all..

Lots of *hugs* required I see..

We've been for bloods this morning. The usual traumatic experience Now takes three people to pin Rhys down and one to stab him.. and several attempts to stab him too Nice that he's strong and determined [to get away!] tho', hey! :cool:

Got weighed too.. he's now 16lb 13oz - woooooo *rolleyes* On the bright (and MSE!) side, looks like a new car seat can wait until the January sales! Sick of the sight of the old one

Rhys now zonked out - blood test was at nap time which didn't help matters - and we're off to see friends at their new house later on which will be nice. And it's payday which means I can carry on with my Christmas shopping tonight

Hope everyone's day is good or improving More *hugs* for the poorlies and down xxx

Afternoon all xx

Can I just say that I LOVE my DH (well for today at least) he has got me and my best friend Take That tickets ...:j:j:j

For all those who saw my FB status last night - well it got the attention of the person it was meant for, and I ended up being very last night, but things needed saying as I seriously wasn't happy, so we'll see if it fell on deaf ears or whether the person will actually take into account what I had to say.

Hi been lurking on and off but v busy real life as its half term. Becles husband works in Newcastle and hes never heard of this just looked at yr link looks great please let me know what its like.

It was really interesting. The tunnel goes from Spittal Tongues right down to the river at Ouseburn, but only the first half a mile is open to the public. It started off as a waggon way for transporting coal to boats, but was then used as a shelter in WWII.

It's not really suitable for little ones though, so I'm pleased we didn't take Charlotte. It's cold and damp down there, and the only light was from the torches we were holding. The man talked a lot which was interesting for us, but would have been boring for Charlotte. The man works as a researcher too and he was so enthusiastic and desperate to tell us everything he knew.

It was only £3 for adults and £2 for children, so good value for money.

Another secret Newcastle gem - did you know about the Turkish bath under the City Pool?
http://www.newcastleleisure.co.uk/node/32
It's fabulous. The changing cabins are very ornate and have beds in so you can lay and chill or there is a seating area with sofa's. There is a wet steam room, then a series of dry heat rooms that get hotter as you move along. You can sit or lay on stone benches or steamer chairs. There's a whirpool bath, shower facilities and you can book a massage too. Me and my Mam have been for some chill out girly time and we loved it :cool:

some devasting news here my school friend's 3 month old baby has just died of mennigitis, just realise how lucky I am!

Sorry to hear that. Can't imagine what they must be going through. Thinking of them xx

Last night I had to have my beautiful 15 year old doggie Phoebe put to sleep. I am devestated.

So sorry to hear that xx Losing a pet is really hard and you need to take time to grieve.

Hope Mikey is ok. Keep an eye on him. Bob struggled when Suzy died and had to get medication off the vet as it was sort of like post traumatic stress at being on his own.

I read a story and this woman didn't know she was pregnant 2/3 births she had, she had lost weight during one of them, and had no visable bump :eek: It's honestly like my worst nightmare.

I read a story like that. The lady was a PT instructor in the army and had no idea she was pregnant and had been doing assault courses, parachuting, abseiling and all sorts. She was taken into hospital with suspected appendicitis and had a baby instead!

Just collected my copy of The Takeaway Secret from the library, deinately gotta try the lamb doner I think, even though I hate takeaway ones.

We had that and it was really nice. It wasn't as greasy as take away shops and made with decent quality lamb mince so tasted much better.

Just had a balti pie for lunch and waiting for my Mam to drop Charlotte back so we can take the dogs for a walk.

Yeh I know I need to keep pumping, I should be able to manage it more now it was just hard with having to change T every 1/2 hour, I couldnt get an awful lot done, and along with not eating and drinking enough it kinda hit my supply.

When the pram is turned into a pushchair I think I lays flat.. not entirely sure but I think as it has to be flat for the pram it surely could stay like that for the pushchair, I will play around with it! Dont want him facing out yet realy
