Hi All

Sorry been missing in action - where does the time go? I see we are all counting down to the birthday parties and parying for good weather. Aidans birthday is sunday 27th and we are having some friends round - ncluding 4 mums i met through baby group and their children. should be good. We are doing the grandparent run this weekend as we want Aidan to ourself on the day - i could not be doing with people staying over as i am going back to work on the tuesday after! I settle him into nursery next week - am so hoping that he settles ok.

Hope everyone is well. How are the Daniels doing?

Hope erin erin enjous the bouncy castle!

who is walking yet? Aidan loves walking with his walker but not yet got the hang of going solo

oh no hes woken up - its that second tooth. will have to log on later

Just a quick hello whilst I have 5 minutes. Daniel is well over the chicken pox and fingers crossed both the children are well at the moment.
We had Daniels birthday last Saturday and had 28 people round plus all the children and thankfully the rain held off so we could be outside. In true style Daniel went for an unexpected nap as soon as everyone was here! And on his birthday he went solo with his walking and since then there is no stopping him! I am off to Clarks for shoes today as he is toddling around quite comfortably. He loves walking to Emily and cuddling her. I feel sad though as he is no longer my baby!
Anyway I hope Emily and Little are keeping well. Tigger how did the party go? Laurie how is Daniel??
Hope the birthday party goes well Anna.And Emily not long untilToms birthday!!

Take care

Helen

Hi everyone
Just a quickie as I am busy sorting!
Hope you are all well???

Any news??

We are good here
Tom has been unwell. We thought he had chicken pox, however the spots came and went, then came back and went and then came back and went!! Weird! So we guess it was just a virus or something else! Doesnt sound like C Pox to me!!!

I am now 22 weeks! Aghhh where is the time going??

Glad everyone is enjoying this birthday season!! Cant believe its a year! This time last year I was longing for Tom to come out!!!!

Well take care and will log on again soon!
Sorry its been so long - I am a busy bee these days!

Em x x x

Where is everyone??
I am lonely!!!

Hi all, hope you are all well! Just checking in, I am really really busy doing loads of uni work at the moment, trying to take on a second job to pay for the wedding, and dealing with a huge amount of office politics... My job at the moment is ridiculous, my line manager is a dick. He seems to think that because I'm a parent I want to hear all about his 3 year old's constipation, and he is driving me insane, he talks about it 3 or 4 times every day. One of these days I may just lose my temper and throw something heavy across the desk at him.

Anyway, enough of the ranting. How is everyone? Did Katy get over her measles ok little, and was ur immunity ok? I hope it was! How are things with you Em? Haven't heard from the rest of you, I assume you're all as busy as me! How has work been Anna? Most of my mates here are back to work, but they are all part time, and I'm full time, so my situation seems so different to them. But the bills still need to be paid! Helen and Laurie, hope you two and the Daniels are all well. And whatever happened to Meg and Maria???

Hi Everyone,

Sorry that I've not been around, things are crazy at work and I'm often too wiped out in the evenings to log on.

I'm OK but darling Daniel is going through a cold at the moment but apart from that he's OK. He's due to have the MMR jab and I've delayed it again as I'm not entirely sure that I want him to have the jab.

Glad to see that Emily & Little are progressing nicely in their pregnancies, hope that it continues to go well for you both.

Helen, how is Daniel now? Is his health OK?

Tigger, I often feel left out as I too work full time and most of my postnatal group are either partimers or do not work at all. I hate Daniel missing out so many outings that they organsie, but hey ho needs must.

Anna, big wow on your weight loss. I'm still at the same weight and I can't or haven't got the motivation to do anything about it I really want to lose it before trying for #2, but because I know that this isn't going to happen for a couple of years I've become complacent. Can someone give me a kick up the backside please?!

What's everyone doing for the summer? Anyone going on holiday? I'd like to get away and we're thinking of maybe going to Devon or Cornwall for a week in september. I've never been abut I've been told that it is a beautiful part of the country. I really want Daniel to have a beach hoiliday as I'm sure that he'll love it.

Take care everyone x

Hi everyone, looks like we are all in the same boat...busy! Work has been so hectic for me at the moment, but I don't care because we are off to Spain in the morning for a week. Not the normal relaxing holiday as Daniel can't sit still and Emily is always full of energy. Laurie if you get the chance to go to Devon or Cornwall...it is lovely. Maybe thats because I live there. The beaches are fab.
Laurie/Tigger, even though I am part timeI still feel Daniel misses out sometimes. I see my mother and baby friends every couple of weeks, he has his friends from nursery and my mum takes him to a toddler group every week so actually his social life is better than mine! But sometimes I just want to do more with him!
Emily/Little hope you are both keeping ok.

Catch up when I return from my hols
