yay finally found a pic of me
so its in me photosnow you will know why the aliens havent taken me lmao
omg i have never sworn so much in all my life as i did this morning at 5.15am walking to work, its a bit creepy as bushes everywhere and a little teeney weeny bunny rabbit jumped out the bushes infront of me, well i almost passed out from fright , ill be waiting for him in the morning da little bugger lol
gotta take issy to the docs tomorrow, her little arm is cracking all round the end and looks quite sore even though ive been putting e45 on it every day, i suppose its cos the skin on your arm is not a tough as the skin on your hands poor little thing, are any of you on face book??? i just joined and it l ooks sad cos when i logg on it says Josie you have no friends
right off to give issy a bath well try anyway she still screams blue murder.
take care all xxxx

dont think the aliens would want me either lol
bonekickers was good, i realy enjoyed it, have you made it your pop corn night
loved the pics, they are such cute little boys, i think james looks like you esp the smile you must be such a proud mummy.
when do you have to go to the hospital about harrisons leg, or are they leaving him alone for a while, it was about 4 months before they saw issy, we had to go to peads then ortho then limb clinic, which now seemed a waste of time cos she happy and copes well with out prosthetic arm. i know it will be different with harry as his walking will be affected, just hope they dont poke and prod him too much.
well i off for a nap had work this morning and was up at 3.45, feels like bed time to me. and yep got the pram all dried, havent been out with her cos its still bloody raining, just hope the weekend is nice so we can get out and about.
hope the aliens return the rest of you soon
toc hope all is well with teddie and he is recovering, take care all xxxx

morning all well guess what its raining yet again here, im soooo bored of being stuck indoors, issy is desperate to get out in the garden.
any luck with your pics yet Lisa, gotta go collect yet another set of pics that steve took of issy, some with her little boyfriend on every time he sees her he dosent stop kissing her lol and like most girl she gets a bit fed up with it after a while and gives him a bash lmao.
Issy woke me up at 1.00 this morning crying i sat there rubbing her back trying to settle her, went and got her some juice but she wouldnt turn over to drink it so i went to pick her up and her leg was stuck through the bars of the cot thats why she was crying bless her,
i was reading 13/18 month board their are a lot of mums trying to get lo to sleep in a bed , and lo not staying put, dont understand their hurry issy has plenty of room in her cot and i dont intend to put her in a bed till after she is 2.
well take care all, xxxxxx

Hi everyone hope you are all having a good weekend!
Been doing housework today but it does not matter how much i clean & tidy the house still looks a mess getting stressed with it now.It was raining here earlier but the sun has come out now might go in the garden later if it stays nice.My husband its working all day today think he is off tommorow though!
Had midwife check up thursday baby nile is nearly fully engaged which is good news hopefully he might come abit early.Been having loads of braxton hicks contractions & they are quite painful.Did not really like the midwife i saw she was not really intrested in any questions i had & i explained about niles leg to her & she seemed to find in amusing that he was going to have a short leg.
Be lovely to see some pics of harry lisa !
talk to you soon Jodie xx

hope the rain stops soon josie, its looking very dull here today so glad we managed a walk yesterday. ive managed to put a picture of james on my profile as you can all see but still wont let me put any of harry on, got really stressed trying to do it so will ask martin once agaibn to help me out.
really hope teddie is doing well, such an awful thing for a young child to go through and also for parents to see. massive hugs to all the family and i really hope teddie will be home soon xxxxx
i fourced my weeding ring back on last week and now my finger has swollon even more and i cant get it off now. i hated not wearing it in the last few months of pg because i look so young (about 18 tops) i didnt want people looking at me with 1 chils and a massive bump thinking .... another teenage pregancy!!! so put my ring back on and now i wish i hadnt. have tried soap and all sorts to get it off but it wont move and think its making the swelling worst by trying. just hope my finger doesnt turn blue and drop off lol.
both boys are asleep so just printed some photos off so going to go put them in the photo album
catch you all soon xx

Well we were planning on going to the Rose Fair today to watch the parade and all the lovely floats, they will be floating alright its pouring down here
I had a good play out in the garden yesterday evening after issy went to bed, how come weeds grow quicker than flowers, also went on a snail hunt cos they keep eating my plants, there were hundreds, dont like the idea of snail pellets with issy going out there.
Cant stop thinking about little teddie and toc,i hope all went well yesterday i cant imagine what they must all be going through right now (((((((teddie and toc))))))
well id better go get things ready, hopefully the rain will stop and the parade can go ahead.

issy has been screaming at having a bath and hair wash ever since mil did her at her house about 6 weeks ago in the big bath, she still has bath in baby bath at home cos we have not got big bath yet till extension is done, tried her in the shower and she hated it.
not done much today apart from go to work, had to walk as steve wanted car so was knackard before i even got there im so unfit. and by the time i walked home issy was having a nap so im just sitting waiting for her to wake up.
Heroes was excellent last night did you see it lisa, cant wait til the autumn.

take care all xxxx

james is off his food aswell!!! he will only eat fruit at the moment been like this for 2 days now. everything i make him ends up on the floor which is so frustrating,
harry had a bath in the big bath with james tonight. and he cried all the way through it.

will have a look at issys new pics
hope everyone is ok xxx

have put new pics of issy up on my photos, Lisa the new way of doing them allows larger files to be uploaded, its realy easy now, some of the pics wouldnt upload cos too big on the old way of doing them but they go now.

Glad you had a nice day with your sister Lisa, and that martin and the boys coped well with out you. MIL made me laugh she always says that baby of your has far too many clothes and what did MIL buy 4 dresses, 2 short n t shirts 2 pairs of PJs and an all in one shorts thing
funny woman lolIssy did a wee on the pot, mind you once again that was after she did wee in knicks in the garden another one on the garden chair cushion and another on the kitchen floor so 1 outta 4 aint bad lmao.
Lisa how is james with feeding, issy wont eat much at all she has weetabix in the morning, a piece of toast half of one slice and a yog for lunch and wll only eat a little amout of dinner wont eat pudding or biscuites and has another yog, she dosent seem to want much not teething at the mo, not sure if its cos it hot or what, she is 20lb now which i dont think is too bad.
well take care all. xxxx

hi jodie
4 weeks!!!! you must be getting excited now and of cause fed up.
have been trying to post a picture of harrys leg for you to see so that you get an idea of what to expect but the bloody computer keeps saying the files are too big aarrrrrrr!!!!
i was really really nervus about seeing harry for the first time but once he was in my arms i didnt care about his leg anymore. he like to hold his long leg up so its in level with his short leg which is so cute. we find it really hard changing nappies as you normally hold both legs with one hand while you wipe with the other but cant do that with one short leg so always end up getting weed on as cant change his bum fast enough, needless to say my washing has doubled. alos getting nappies no it a a nightmare has harry hasnt got much of the femur so nothing to put the nappy round. now that we can see his leg it looks a lot more then half that is missing. we have a scan in 3 weeks to see if his hip and kneen joint have formed and working correctly. he can move his leg but finds it hard when in a nappy as it resistricts him abit. we dont think he is in any pain with it but does cry alot which we think is due to wind. have been finding thing very difficult as martin went back to work the day after he was born so not had time to recover for birth myself. so hope your dh is better at looking after you in the early days/weeks then mine has been. not sure if matin finds it hard with harry which is why he went back so early.
anyway glad your ok and enjoy playing with your new pram xxxx
yay ive added some more photos, cant see the picture of you joise..... that bunny must have got you before you got chance to put it on lol
poor issy really hope her little arm doesnt get to sore xxx
james had his first hair cut today so looks like a big boy now, ive kept his curls to go in his baby record book.we are meant to be going to a new baby group in the morning at 9:15 so hope i can get organised in time to meet my friend and her two little ones.
leanne, pasm, joide hope your all ok
toc hugs to teddie and hope your doing ok aswell hugs to all the family xx
