'Grats on the new arrival Weronika - I can't tell what that weight is in "proper" units

The DH job - you have to go with your instincts (unless you are desperate) and yours said that this wasn't right.

Ooh - Congratulations - I've been away for a week and wondered if she'd arrive then

Weronika

Hi, thanks everyone for your support!
Little madame is an absolute angel so far, sleeps and eats nicely comparing to her older brother:j

The job offer is not for us, but the extra money would be soooo nice:D

I managed to sell the old (well, not used but was sitting in guest bedroom for 3 yrs) mattress on Ebay for £20 so that saved us the puzzling job of getting rid of it (OH wanted to just trow it away, but it wouldn't fit in a car:p so I sold it in the meantime:D)

As I need new phone (camera lens scratched) I was looking at my options and settled on HTC Salsa for £150, but it is sold out everywhere:mad:

So I'm lusting after HTC One for nearly £500 now:rotfl:

I'll see if my last invoice is paid this month, than it would be extra money as I sort of gave up on it now:( They have paid a small one after my last chase up, but not a big one:mad:

I had to rush now, I'll catch up on other diaries later on. Cheers!

Weronika

Totally wrecked today - I only slept from 3am to 5:30 am, the rest of the night was all fun and games with the baby:cool:

I caught up with diaries now, as I am waiting for the midwife to come. So annoyed, coz both my Monkey and Ladybird are sleeping and I could use a nap too, desperately actually.

I need to be downstairs though, to open the door quickly on the first knock in order to not to wake them up.

No news on the money front - the maternity pay not sorted, invoices not paid, tax credits not updated. love bureaucracy:rotfl:

Ooh, like the name Ladybird for your little girl Weronika - very pretty! Although it doesn't sound like she's behaving like a lady keeping you up all night.

Could you not have a nap on the sofa while you wait for the mw? I'm not surprised you're exhausted! Hope she comes soon so you can get back to bed before the little ones wake up!

3.75kg is about 8.27 lbs

After 10 days she regained her birth weight and even went over, so mummy very pleased

I have lost weight on the other hand - the 'water retention' part of the pregnancy, and have left with 'only' 3kg (just below 7 pounds) which would be nice if I still didn't have extra 15 lbs from first pregnancy:rotfl:

I'm waiting another 4 weeks and after ok from GP I'll start working on those extra pounds:D

I couldn't - my Monkey fall asleep on the sofa:p
The midwife came late anyway, so he woke up anyway by than. Such a great time for a nap totally lost:(
Ladybird was so upset we woke her up for weighing that she peed all over midwife:rotfl:
Midwife was really nice about it though, said it happens to her all the time:eek:
