Yay Jess! So glad it all went well! I didn't realise how much I was holding my breath for you hoping all went ok! I am very happy for you. Can't believe Ethan will be a big brother.

I am typing quickly before Tom cat wakes up so not sure about how many personals i will get done, so might just do a random reply . Who has seen SATC? I haven't yet and not sure when I will get to see it. My sisters and I are all hoping to make a night out of it but it is hard to coordinate it as 2 live a couple of hours away but I am determined!
Lots of good ideas for pressies. Sacha - you are amazing with your ideas - love the jewellery and pearl suggestions (if only T was a girl, imagine the fun i could have!). We are hoping to start a bit of tradition of writing him a letter every birthday about the year gone by to give to him on his 21st. We are going shopping tomorrow to hopefully layby a bike.

Be back later - 8 am and he is awake! Yay

Hi all,

So glad your scan went well Jess, how exciting!! Just one bubba in there?? My friend just found out she is having twins!!!

There are some great ideas there for my present list thanks girls. Definaly going to put books, jigsaws and the claw thing for a sandpit for sure!! I have also got on there something she can push and walk behind as she not walking yet, musical instruments like a xylaphone etc, she loves the wiggles and they have a new DVD coming out, table and chair and one of those little bikes she can ride on, small for the house.

Has anyone seen SATC yet? I can't wait tomorrow 12:30 whoo hoo!!!

I SO want to go back to Mimi Maestros, Olivia had the best time the first time. I should put on the list a term at MM? That is a good idea!

Well must got, going out AGAIN today. Do you feel guilty going out all the time and have the bubs sitting in their pram their whole awake time? I do but I have been so busy this week.

Hey Lis, I don't usually feel guilty about having Liam in his pram for a couple of hours, because it's often the best way to get him to stop whinging about being bored at home, and I figure that even if he's not actually sleeping, it's still more restful than him wandering around the house going "hmm, sick of that toy, sick of that one too, so bored with that toy...muuummm, where's your leg, let me climb it..no pick me up, no put me down, want to touch the lights..ouch hurt myself falling over..bored bored bored.." If you get my drift. I reckon putting MM on your list is a great idea, she'll enjoy it even more now that she's a bit older too.

Jess - yay for the scan going well. I know what you mean about not realising that you were worried, but then huge sense of relief you get when your first scan is okay makes you realise that you were. Reading your pg stuff makes me feel sooo clucky. Not that I'm any chance of getting into a pg condition, I still don't have AF back, too much BFing from Liam.

Em - love your idea about the letter each year. I'd been kind of thinking about doing the same thing myself, but more along the lines of "if I die, then he'll know how much I love him" kind of way. Which is horribly morbid I know, but I think I have a weird brain sometimes. Your idea is a little more positive!

I had a little win last night. It took me about 2 hours to type my post, because Liam woke at 9.30 for food, then wanted more at 10.30, then after I logged off, woke up again. And then Pat says to me "come to bed, just let him cry",which made me a touch on the cranky side. But that's another story. Anyway, I decided to tough it out & not feed him, so just cuddled & talked quietly to him, and tried to brainwash him by saying "no food between 11 & 5", over & over again. Anyway, he eventually went back to sleep (without a BF, woo hoo for me, it's not often I can stick to being tough), and then didn't wake until 5.20 - so my brainwashing worked - hooray!! And I have to say, I feel fantastic, having got 5 and a bit straight hours of sleep, followed by another couple, because he was back in bed by 5.45, and didn't wake until after 8. And now he's asleep again, although he stirred as I started typing this, but I've stayed very very quiet, and he appears to have resettled, which means I'll probably get at least an hour & a half of sleep from him, which is sensational in this house. Now, if only the house cleaning fairy would arrive....

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I have 2 sick kids Chloe is home from school today as she ahs had the runs which started at 2am and bayleigh has been up MOST of the night chucking up i have spent from 8am till half an hour ago cleaning his walls in hsi room as he chucked on them and ive been doing washing as i had to change his sheets 3 times through the night and change him 4 times i think..

Hi everyone,

So sorry i havent done personals in so long and i am just popping in as we are moving tomorrow and i am not sure when the internet will be up and running!

Thanks for all your replies re the sleep issue! DH came home this morning to have a go himself, the same thing happened but not to the same extent, he only slept for half an hour again though. We had a win with the afternoon nap though he has gone down without a peep....we had mothers group this morning so i think he was buggered!

So i will pop in when i can!!
