    I have nooooo time.... it goes by tooo fast!!!:eek::mad:

    I had a nice time last night. It's my friend's bday today so we went to the pub for food:D Daisy was fine at home with daddy and big bruv. She didn't miss me *sob*

    Daisy loves her bouncer chair. It's my fave and most used baby product. We used it from day 1 so have def got our moneys worth. We have the fisher price one with the giraffe and you pull the bananas for some tunes:)

    I ended up having a million scans because Daisy was a devil child and would not allow anyone to see her:rotfl:Then when she was finally found she was breech (more scans) plus I had ECV (more scans) I was poorly poorly (more scans)... you get the picture!!;) I still get upset as we didn't get one decent scan pic:(... but musn't dwell as I now have one super duper healthy amazing baby!!:j:j:j

    its all exploring the new things they can do. i dont mind it as i discovered the more you move him away the more he wants to do it, so i leave him to it as he eventually goes to play with something else. as long as its not somehting dangerous obv, I am dreading it though if he tries to put something in the DVD player or Wii...

    A once stuffed a book into the video player :D.

    Well, finally some brighter news here. After the car started making horrible noises earlier this week, we took it to the college garage and asked them to look at it, and mentioned that I had literally been about to call them to book an MOT ironically. Anyway, they rang me yesterday morning to say that it wasn't such awful news as I was expecting - the lining had come away from the brake pads apparently and they've replaced them, so did I want it put in for the MOT. Anyway they've just rung to say that it's passed it's MOT!:j:j. They're charging me £120 for everything, MOT included. While it's hardly nothing, when I heard that noise I thought I was probably looking at a bill of about twice that, possibly excluding the MOT. Such a relief, I've been really worried about how much it was going to cost.

    It's just the bottom of the range one from Mothercare and did us fine.

    Hi all sorry haven't posted in a while. 3mutleys is interesting you say re clothes as t was small at birth we got more wear out of his newborn (up to about 10lbs) but as has put on weight quick (over 11lbs at last weigh in a week a go and we are now between the 9th and 25th, we started at 0.4) we seem to have had very lttle wear out of the up to a month or 0 to 3 months stuff (usually goes up to 13lbs) that has only a couple of weeks left in.

    Re boucers we were given a fisher price cushion chair that moves back and forth with music which he settles in for daytime naps (sometimes!) I think he likes that it is cushioned rather than movement.

    Bexta yay for rolling over baby!!

    Smartie is true where does the time go??

    Re scans I had the usual plus a couple extra at the end due to my high b/p as they were concerned re his growth and I had to have dopplers a couple of times as there was an issue re blood supply of the umblical cord.

  • Our bouncy chair (desptie being ~cough cough cough~ years old) was very similar to this one and it did us fine.

    I'm just about to place an amazon order for our last few christmas presents. Woohoo!

    My mum got her the chair when she was over. I'm slightly horrified at the price, and hoping she didn't spend that much on it :o

    Just got a lovely parcel from mum with a handmade stocking for madam, some books and a reusable advent calendar.
