Is it wrong to let J eat McDonalds chips for dinner?

[Freya]

Not at all Meg. Im sure that one lot of Mc's chips wont kill him! Jetts had a happy meal here and there.

[*Belle*]

When we were travelling to Melb Julia ate nuggets n chips, if its not every day im sure its ok

[Visitor7]

We let Nina have nuggets @ chips from Maccas the other night. We were eating it, so that's all she wanted. I can't see any harm in doing it, as long as it's not every night.
Been a hectic day today, and it's still not over. I have to go into the shops after I've got dinner organised to get a few things. And I'm soooo tired.

[Boo Boo]

Sharleen and Helen - hugs to both of you....thinking of you both.

[ShootingStar]

Jesse has some chips if we have maccas. Its not every night so i think its fine.

[shellbell3]

mmm, maccas, think I could go a few chips dipped in sweet and sour sauce.

God Ash was in foul mood tonight, think overtired. Had lots playing outside today cause Df and I been putting one of those fence type things, the ones made from twigs and stuff against our normal fence for bit more privacy. It looks really good how its turned up, plus with the garden Df has been working so hard on has made it so nice out there now.

[*Belle*]

Sharls hope you feel better soon mate.

Meg - sorry i missed you. Lets chat soon.

[*Nessa*]

Hmmm been thinking thinking thinking and need your opinions

Well we really like the name Millana but i also have come to like millani

what do you think???

[Nelle]

I like them both Ness!

Thinking of you Helen, what an anxious time. I guess just try to keep busy?

[lilima]

Millana would be my pick!

J loved his Macca chips. We were driving back from mothers grp and he was soo hungry, and there was Maccas drive thu. It was my bast option, and easy for me to hand him chips as I drove. He ate them all tho!!!

[Visitor7]

I thought I'd missed something, I didn't read the last 2 pages of the last thread. Doh!

helen - thinking of you. Hopefully they can give you some answers soon, and won't keep you waiting too long.

nessa - my pick out of those two would be Millana.

shell - Nina's cranky too tonight. She's been in bed for about 1.5 hours, but has screamed out a few times. Don't know if it's in her sleep or not. We're giving her a few minutes each time she does it to see if she goes back to sleep or not, and she does every time. But I reckon it'll be a long night.
Was it the brush fencing stuff you put up today? We used that on our old timber fence which is next to our pool. So the background of the pool looking from the patio is that brush fencing with plants in front. Looks really good.

[**Helen**]

Meg-Nah nothing wrong with maccas chips, like what everyone else said.

Shell-It must be nice to finally have your own place and be able to do what you like without worrying.

Jodi-I hope that Nina has gone to sleep well for you.

I am trying to be more positive this evening. I have read a few things and because I had spotting from 1st-3rd of Jan I am going to presume that I had a late O and it was an implantation bleed, so therefore having a scan on the 22Jan of course it is not going to show much. Does that make sense?
Well I had my BT, they couldnt get it out of my arm but managed to get it out from underneath my knuckle on the top of my hand. Ouchies I have a bug lump, I have been advised to go to the specialist place in town next time as they dont have to take as much blood there and they have some more experienced people. The lady who took the blood was lovely, really good, she wished me luck and basically the only reason she refered me to town is that they have a lot of new people on and she said I could def get one of the newer and to lessen my stress it would be better to go there. Poor thing I got all faint at the end.

Well I guess I better go and find something to occupy my mind.

Nessa-I prefer Millana but if you guys prefer Millani I think that that is beautiful too.

Love

[lilima]

Helen - It is good to stay positive. I am sorry that you had a terrible experiece with the BT. Sounds very ouchy!
Don't let me forget when I get home from work that I want to post about something that happened yesterday with some random kid hitting J when we were at the play centre. (just writing this will remind me, as I will see it when I am back later.)

[Cougar]

havent been around these last few days

helen, hun i am sending all the sticky vibes i can muster, great to hear you are positive hun, :hugs:

shar, hope you are feeling a bit better.

as for me, not much happening, went had my first midwives appointment, and since all my u/s dates are anywhere from the 21st-28th may, we decided to go with the last one so now im due on the 28th, i will be trying to go into sponanous labour, without induction, if i can put up with all the aches and pains ( which started for me at 10 weeks this time,) i am in constant pain day/night...thank god this is my last as my body just doesnt cope very well.

enough of my sh*t have a great day.....oh yeh i like millana

[ShootingStar]

Helen.. big hugs and hoping for the best for you hun.

Yeh i prefer Millana over those 2, its easier to say.

We're off to a play centre today with mums group.. Jesse will have a ball im sure.

[mum3girls]

Thanks for your thoughts ladies, sorry for the vent the other night - I was just in so much pain and had no one to talk to and feeling sorry for myself. My neck's a bit better, had a massage yesterday, haven't taken the medicine since that first lot because I just couldn't deal with Ambah wanting to feed and not being able to, plus my neck as well. Off to the dr's soon 'cause he wanted me to check back in with him to see if it's improved. Still slightly swollen, but I've got some movement back in it. Aaron's home tonight, but has a really busy weekend - I'm really hoping he can help me out a little though.

Helen - Thinking of you :hugs:

Ness - I prefer Millana as well, I think it goes better with Annika and Teleah IYKWIM?
