That is despicable, that story in the Paisley Express!!
Defended you there Juls, in Gallowhill he was probably heading for his next fix and was late so put the boot down!! Couldn't put that in my post though, don't want to be smeared with the same brush! lmao. Can't believe it though £100 and 3 points? That'll be for speeding I bet, nothing more. And how the hell can you supervise your 6 year old out on a bike 24/7 or never let them out your sight? You have to let go sometime with everything as much as it hurts (not been there yet, dreading it though!) so what do you do, tie a 5 ft piece of rope to them and they aren't allowed any further? Some of those dbaters live in cookoo land, depending who writes the thread of course!
Feel better now, off for some ice cream!! lol

Well i did tidy and then had no energy to do anything else. Was at Mothercare today picking up a few bits and pieces still needed like scratch mits etc. Ended up spending £70! Of course i bought Eilidh a gorgeous little gypsy skirt and 2 pack matching top in the sale, so thats where all my money went!!!
Dont know where the time goes. Thats me been on mat leave a week already! I really do feel kind of tired and heavy. I have a mw appointment on Thursday. Am hoping baby is still head down!!! I will be a day away from 38wks. Everyone in my due in forum seems to be having their baby now and the threads have all got a bit slow and boring lol!!!!- I know i will be one of the last ones to go, since my due date is the 28th march.
Anyway, lel and Juls, you seem to be coping well with mohterhood again. Suppose its not that bad when you get yourself into a routine! No luck for dh on the jobfront lel? That must be an anxious time. Glad to hear from you Ali, hope everything is going good.
Be on again at some point, although my laptop is on its way out...hopefully last until after the birth! x

None of mine ever took to the dummy, they had me instead!
Thinking about moving Noah to a bed but dreading it as I never really did it with the other 2 boys. He is not bad, once hes down thats him, but will it all change when he can get up for a wander?
Trying to get photos downloaded on to here but they are too big!?! Will have to get one of my technical advisors to sort it.

Cheeky wee monkey face Maya and Sol . . . . . . . . did you not feed him first?! If looks could kill! lol He's gorgeous, so much hair!! Teagan's has all fallen out apart from the the line of hair that rests on her collar, she's a wee monk!
5/3/08 19:42
I'll look at the pics after I've posted, thought I'd add my tuppence worth first, lol
Teagan was in a great routine but she's started to wake again during the night but then again she's been going down earlier so cant really complain. Aidan's waking at 4am is a bit worrying. He goes back to sleep but the waking in the first place . . . . . not sure what it's all about. We hope the clocks going forward means he'll sleep til 7 since going back made him get up at 5! lol
My 2 never took a dummy at all, tried with Teagan but nope, lasted about 5 minutes. Quite glad, something less to deal with and take away. We're not doing the bed thing again til Aidan is older. He just won't stay in it! lol

Pmsl lel,her heid!
Sol got weighed yesterday,he`s 13.5 and a bruiser.I didn`t post a link to my 2 in the bonnie babies here,I forgot but here goes.......http://www.photostoday.co.uk/frontpage.aspx?Sitecode=carr
I hope it works.Page 2 and sol isn`t amused,he`ll never forgive me for that one!
Ali it`s good to see you about,hope things do get a bit easier for you.x
Hv don`t have a clue sometimes lel,mines doesn`t even give me any leaflets or anything now,I tell her to keep them for someone who needs them! Yip I bath him,feed him and then top him up with 3 or 4 oz ff and he sleeps till about 7.30-8am
or whenever maya decides she`s awake!She`s doing really well in her bed,she doesn`t come out of it even if you put her in there for being naughty! And we got rid of the dummy for bedtime too,that`s her coming up for 2weeks dummy free,yeee haaa,there was me dreading trying to get it of her for the easter bunny but she did it herself,well kind of.Dh went away for a break and I did it then,he`s too soft and would have given in had she asked for it,me-not on your nelly,i`m the strict one in here.Turns out she`s only asked a couple of times and the other day she said,"I need my......" She stopped dead in her tracks mid sentence,lol.Result,toilet training isn`t so easy though!
5/3/08 17:18
About time Ali!! Wondered if you were just ignoring the older ones in favour of the youngsters on the other threads so you felt like a young 'un! lol Glad you're back on.
Juls, I would be trying to get to bed at that time never mind bath Teagan! Is it still helping him sleep? Is that your routine now? Pmsl at your dad with the just a picture of Maya will do! lol Cheered me up that, could just hear my dad say something like that.
Well I have to finally get meds from the doc, hv said today. She says 12 weeks is enough and things are worse so maybe we should try something?! WTF, do these people not listen, depression since I was about 14 but they wanted me to wait til I felt I needed help?! I give up with them, I really do!
Carla, what have you done so far? My cupboards were all clean and tidy before Teagan came. I was in agony but I could smile cos they were clean! No one saw they were clean but it helped me sleep at night! lol The weird things we do eh?
Well off to try and decide what to have for dinner and feed my 11lb 5oz 12 wk old dd! She is still so dainty looking and I still can't get tights to fit her we scrawny legs so it must be her heid that's heavy!! lmao
5/3/08 15:49
Hiya Ladies, I am still about! Just not as much these days. Not long to go Carla, hope everthing goes great for you.
Things here still a bit hard going and I dont expect that will change for a while, so its just kind of get on with it.
Noah is getting so big, 21 months now and getting new words everyday. He is the thing that keeps me going thank heavens for him!
Anyway I will try to catch up with you all a bit more often. xxali

Evening girls,think i`ll get a quick post before bathing sol.I hope everyone is ok.
Hey no work to get up for tomorrow Carla! Nest away girl,just watch out for the compulsive need to wash the windows and clean everything.That was me on the morning my waters went and make sure you`ve got loads of knickers in your bag!
Lel,how`s life treating you?Bet your glad in a sense you`ve got a helping hand at home,it`s bliss when dh takes over with maya and gives me a break,she`s hard work and boy do we wish she had a volume control sometimes! Up at my parents the other day,my dad said a picture of her would have been fine!Lol
Sol had his jags again today and broke his wee heart,maya had her travel booster and was fine.She was awfully concerned about sol and I thought it would have put her off getting hers,but nope,a lollipop was all the bribery it took.
3/3/08 15:25
oh no Carla! Got the depo jag a couple of weeks ago and the last time I got that it took 2 years to clear from my body so it's a no no and I'm kinda glad but I also know if I don't mind being pg again at 42 I can still have another! lmao
3/3/08 14:24
Ha ha lel!!!!!! Thats the first step to having another bubs - discussing it. Eh thats why i am here with a bump again so soon after having dd. My dh would keep having more but two under two is enough. Dont let those preg hormones take over, give yourself time!!!!! - remember though, all pregnancies are different. I have not had any swelling or carpal tunnel this time round!
It will just be your luck, you will have another and your preg will be easy and you will have the child from hell lol!!!!!
3/3/08 09:33
It's still snowing here, big burst of really heavy snow then it stops for 5 mins then starts again!
And you wont need to go out in it if you don't want to Carla, how good is that!? lol
Oh yes keep us posted on your nesting and eventual bursting of water and subsequent (is that the word) pain! lmao We were discussing "just one more" but I don't think my body would cope. It all but gave up with Teagan and I'd be worried I ended up bed ridden!!
Good luck with the nesting, I know what you mean by desperate to do it but just can't! I was so frustrated!! Why do we do this again!? lol
3/3/08 07:23
Aaaaah yes, thank god - no work, what a relief. I was getting so tired of it. The only problem is that i have the nesting instinct lol and just feel the need to tidy everywhere, although dont have the energy. Its really frustrating isnt it?
Well only 3wks and 4 days left to go!!!!!!! I have my case and babies bag almost packed. Cant believe it has snowed here during the night, not much and it wont last but still!!!!! Anyway, i will keep you all updated on my progress!!!!!!!! xxx

Happy mat leave carla!!
I will be back soon too.Nothing much here,weather minging,kids good,had their pics done for the bonnie babies.All I can say is poor sol,he doesn`t look atall impressed.
Hope your keeping ok girls,not long now carla,i think it`s flown past aswell,can`t believe my boy will be 14weeks on monday-it`s flew by.
Better go,he`s gurning and maya wants to lift him up for a cuddle.
Byeee
29/2/08 16:59
Well Carla, how does it feel to be off work on mat leave again!? I can't believe it, it's flown by! Sure you don't think so but not long now.
Hope bubs stays put and you can go in push a bit then come home, lol. You know what I mean.
Nothing much here, dp still at home looking for a job, Aidan is loving daddy being home and Teagan is feeding and sleeping as she should so all is well, apart from no job but we'll get there.
Hope you are all doing ok.
Be back soon with some job news or maybe something exciting will have happened to me (aye right!)
27/2/08 21:04
Well girls finish up on mat leave on Friday!!!!!! YIPEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Seemingly baby has turned but is still unstable, so could move back into transverse position. Thats me 36 weeks on Friday. Only 4wks to go!!!!! Getting a bit tired and heavy and achey and am a bit fed up seeing myself as an elephant. Beginning to wonder what i looked like without the bump. Feel a bit depressed though, came accross a post that said - yay, back into my size 10 jeans after a week. Well, doubt it will be me, not that i have been a size 10 since a good few years!
Anyway, hope everyone is well. xxxxxx
25/2/08 17:50
He`s due home anytime now lel and i`ll be glad to see him.I got on ok,mum took the dog about teatime and brought her back after her last walk at night,so that was a help.
Sol`s on a bottle every other day too,he`s sleeping till 7am now tho so that`s good too.Maya still adores him and is very protective of him,he`s hers she tells peeps when we go out!lmao
Hope everyone else is happy and well too.Catch you soon.xxx
25/2/08 17:35
Just about to post and say how are you coping Juls and hope all is ok with you Carla!?
Hungry girl here too now, ff and bf most days but thriving none the less. Me on the other hand is a shadow of her former slef, unfortunately this does not relate to my weight and only my sanity! lmao
Aidan is being fab these days. Think it helps that daddy is home but he's so good natured, never a moan. It's the calm before the storm I'm sure!
Just a quick post cos it's one handed (feeding time) and it's tiring but try and get back on soon, assuming nything exciting happens! lol
25/2/08 17:16
boo
pmsl,they all live on another planet from me anyhoo lel! I would do time if it was my dd,NO WAY would I let something like that lie and do nothing. It`s disgraceful he got off so lightly.I can see it from some of their views but,to be so against him getting anything else on top of what the judge gave him......Well it says it all about them tbh.lol @ his next fix,you`re probably right aswell!
Hope everyone`s good,lol ali-technical advisors? Would that be your hubby or son by any chance?! I can`t resize mines,I end up mucking it all up,if it doesn`t fit,it doesn`t go on!
Carla 1 week already,see now the next 3 weeks`ll fly by and you won`t know what hit ya!
My boy`s been freaking me out,this is day 4 of no dirty bum........I spoke to a pedeatric (sp) doc yesterday,he said not to worry too much,as long as he wasn`t dehydrated he`d be ok but I worried too much and called nhs this morning,they said not too worry either.I`m worried,lol It`s the change in his milk,he`s getting a bottle every night now before bed,and that`s what`s doing it to him,yet they advised me not to change his milk today
probably because the change would once again add to his wee problem,and not make it any better,just worse,i`m guessing that,they didn`t stipulate....
So.......................i`m off for a walk with my dog and a bit of air.Catch you all sooooooonish.
