I tell a lie. I've just checked her and she's managed to worm one hand free and has it up by her face. Good thing she's got built in scratch mitts on lol

They're beggars for getting out of their swaddles!

wow, didn't realise so many of us around here. I'll chat to sir m tomorrow when we'll hopefully be meeting up and see what we can come up with.

had my dad visiting so have been out for the day today to crystal palace park then to a big asian buffet. managed to get L a couple of sunhats in mothercare and my dad bought him some cute t shirts also got him some baby sunglasses for when he's in the back carrier and we're walking.

re suncream i've been putting the boots f50 spray kids stuff on his face. he seems to hate the sun (i'm not a sun lover either!)

Giz sorry about your rabbit I'm not usually a pet person tbh but I cried buckets when DH family dog had to be put down, just felt for him as was gutted.

Would love to meet people in flesh, me and Rach are normally seen most days in a famous chains (one with green logo!!) coffee shop in outer London, which is a stroll from Rach and about 10 min drive from me. Is just so relaxing, so friendly for bfing too so we can all get our boobs out without worry and they always give us large glasses of water, sometimes without even asking. LOL just cross posted!

My ickle boy is not well, had a fever in night on Mon which woke him up and just didn't seem himself - went to docs and temp was 40.5!! Prescribed by docs paracetamol and ibruprofen which brought it right down to 35.9. Last few days has slept a lot more in morn, but seems ok - gone to bed just after 7:30.

yes we can definitely sort out a meet up. as sir m says it's a really friendly place if people don't mind coming over and there is a station/buses/v cheap parking close by. one of the staff even knows the different baby cries, she knew the other day it was sir m's LO crying! dh says it's a sure sign we spend too much time in there! I'm v glad to have met sir m on the preg thread and hope our boys will be great friends!

MV we file L's nails after cutting them though he is less prone to scratching than he was when a bit younger.

well my dad has gone, dh is on his way home (was helping out the charity where he used to work) and all is quiet. i should really be looking for a job not buying nappies online lol.

Metranil_Vavin

cool..well pm me the coffee place and where and I'll see you there!

MV - I hate the scratching too! Esme has got such sharp nails so I'm forever putting her oven (scratch) mitts on - and she hates it and pulls them off

I'm not sure where they were from as we bought them second hand but when Alice was little we had a few babygrows which had bits on the sleeves which you could fold over instead of using scratch mitts and they were loads better.

Evening...

Sorry not been about lately, my boss asked me to help out at month end, so i've been spending my spare time with Immy... We've also had the dreaded jabs this week too, she seems much better now, but i hated it!!

I've just had a read through, hope I can remember everything...

Giz - (((hugs))) I remember your rabbit was ill on the PG thread before we had the babies.... please dont feel guilty, you gave her a wonderful life.

However I know that it would be madness not to wait a bit, so think we'll try for the next one early next year.
I turn 38 on Sunday, so can't leave it too long! :eek:

Its funny you've all had this discussion, we're in two minds what to do as i'm 38 in July..... Dont want to leave it too long if we have another, Callam has always hated being the only child growing up (although it wasn't by choice!)

I went for my 20 week scan yesterday and found out that the baby had died.

Oh Susan, i'm so sorry, hugs to you and yours....

I'm sure there was something else I was meant to comment on, so please accept my apologies if i've missed you...

Going to bed now, hungry and dont want to eat anything :rotfl::rotfl:

I've seen some clothes with these on in Asda, not sure if the babygrows are the same though?

sir_monster

Mamas and papas do the integral mitts as do mothercare I think up to 6 months.
