~February & March Mummies and Babies~

[clairebear22]

Harry has a few milky buttons or a small milky bar occasionally. I'm a firm believer in 'everything in moderation'. Both boys wiol have advent calandars for sure!

Plus with his allergies I bet you'll have to say no to lots of things so I say go for it! x

 

[Msclaireypants]

That's what I'm thinking Claire. It hurts my heart when he's with his big cousins and they're getting loads of chocolate buttons etc and he's stuck with a rich tea biscuit!

 

[clairebear22]

Does the company that makes the calendar make chocolate in general? By a stash for him if they do.

Have they said he may grow out of his allergies? A lot of kids i've cared for with dairy allegies etc can eat anything now! I hope Spencer will be the same x

 

[Msclaireypants]

It's really likely, they arranged a plan to start introducing milk when he is one, same with soya.

They do chocolate bars etc but it's quite expensive, £2.40 for one small chocolate bar so I'm seriously rationing it lol x

 

[Msclaireypants]

Just saw someone mention it in another thread, can you get size 4 teats for tommy tipee bottles? I thought they only went up to size 3

 

[HopesDreams]

I thought they only went to 3 as well. I don't think I've ever seen a 4. I thought 3's were made in such a way that the baby controls the flow? So you shouldn't need another size or am I way off?

 

[clairebear22]

Yeah just size 3's x

 

[Msclaireypants]

It's maybe mam bottles or avent?

I just wondered if I was being cruel giving him too small a teat!

 

[Msclaireypants]

Yuck. Starting work at 6pm tonight and finishing at 2.30am tomorrow. It's our first wedding anniversary tomorrow pm Billy's getting up with Spencer, then when I get up he's getting packed off to stay with mum and dad overnight so we can have a nice romantic night in

Really looking forward to it!

 

[HopesDreams]

Aw I really hope you enjoy it Clairey! xxx

 

[clairebear22]

Aww hope you have a lovely evening Clairey.

We're just waiting for my sister to come and collect us. OH is working all weekend and has to be up at the crack of dawn tomorrow and sunday so we're off to stay at my Mum's tonight and the in-laws tomorrow night so he doesn't wake Jack & Harry with his alarm x

 

[Msclaireypants]

Have you decided what you're gonna do about your boss hopes?

 

[HopesDreams]

I just emailed and said that I understood they had decisions to make but I would appreciate a few week to think through my decisions too. She understood that I had a lot to think about & that my situation doesn't make those decisions easy. So I'll hand my notice in 2 weeks to the day. It's the end of an era almost.

 

[Msclaireypants]

I know, and even although you don't want. M go back you still feel sad? I almost feel like I'm in mourning for my job and my old life. But then I just have to look at a certain wee face and I cheer right up

 

[HopesDreams]

8 months old today & sitting on our new sofa.

 

[Msclaireypants]

Happy 8 months wee man! Well, not so wee anymore!

 

[HopesDreams]

& to answer your question Clairey - this is absolutely the right decision for me. The decision makes me happy BUT I am a tad sad (& scared), I'll miss the camaraderie & sense of "we're all in this together" with my colleagues. But I get to be with my wee sprout & that's all that matters.

 

[babybee]

The day I quit will be the happiest day of my life! Well done Hopes, that couldn't have been an easy decision to make!x

 

[HopesDreams]

Well I'll still be working BB but I'll be self employed....childminder. I get to kill two birds with the one stone. I get to keep O with me & I get to do what I love & provide for us both.

 

[Msclaireypants]

Please please please someone tell me that Spencer's going through a leap???
