How has everyone been?

Subject: How has everyone been? Fri Jul 04, 2008 11:29 am

For those that are old timer members or the site we were before, how have you all been since its closure? Anything exciting been happening?

I am 26 weeks pregnant now and for the first pregnancy ever, i have grown out of all my cloths, i have put on two stone already and convinced i have conceived a whale, not a baby! Summer had her first induction day at preschool which she absolutely loved and i have found a lovely childminder to take elsie a couple of mornings too, give me a bit of a rest and time on here! You wont believe how hard it is having a 2 and 3 year old, unless you have them yourselves of course! Most days its continous, splitting up fights, teaching them to share, potty training and puppy training our new dog!

I have a slow cooker which i am obsessed with and will be posting recipes etc shortly, you will be very sick of me about it in no time i am sure!

So not thrilling really but thats me for the past 5 or so weeks Very Happy

wow, your pregnancy seems to be flying over.
Well, Paul left me, then he came back, he lost his job, then he left me again, then he came back, and started a new job on Monday scratch

I think he needs to make his mind up lol
And joels 5 months old now, and hes rolling over, on solids and is trying to sit up.
Hes teething too, so he isnt the most friendly baby atm lol

oh no verona, i was hoping he would have settled down into being a dad and partner by now! Perhaps it was the losing his job, maybe he was feeling inadequate, my paul can get really funny like that, if he thinks he is not doing his 'manly' duty.

We rowed like cat and dog for the past month really, only recently things settling down, i think its just the fear of another baby and the cost of it! too late now (plus being petrified of labour!) Laughing

Cant believe joel is 5 months already, it really is scarey how fast they grow!

argh potty training! I am doing that with elsie, she has got the hang of going to the toilet in the house, with no pants on but add any trousers etc and she just wee's them, same as if she is outside!

I am house training the dog too...wish i could put a nappy on her! lol!

nothing worse. Its hen they have been doing it for a little bit and you are just starting to think..hurahh no more nappies...then bam, they start having accidents all over again! ARGH! elsie started about ellas age now, and its taken her 3 months really to be able to go in the house on the toilet by herself.

We booked our first family holiday to Cornwall so go on the 2nd augst for a week, its to a child and toddler friendly farm so we cant wait. Andrew does the occasional wee on his potty, so delighted about that and Ewan is the biggest cheekiest 9 month old you will ever see, he has everyone where he wants them!!

Glad everyone is well xx

hi nat, wow i wish i was as far along as you! Summer got the chicken pox exactly 3 days before i had elsie, and they said as long as i had had them and was breast feeding her she would probably be fine. I hated breast feeding though so i express fed her instead. Smile
