How are all you new mummies doing?

[mrssmith2011]

I don't envy you packing Bex. Well everything is sorted with work so not going back until 5th Jan. Yey. Joseph has his two bottom teeth. His top ones have been bothering but haven't appeared yet. x

I hate packing, unpacking is fine though!

We've bought that set for thomas jojo and also an activity house. Got a couple of puzzles and other small things and we're done now. Working on his birthday now

Well we have
A walker
A carousel laptop thing
A bath book
A few board books for his pram
The remote control/phone/key set

Mum is thinking of a ballpit and some other little bits
Grandma has a few books and this hammer thing plus a cuddly penguin.

I think he's doing ok lol

 

[Pumpkin9]

Yeah we weren't going to spoil but think that's gone out the window. We've allocated all Xmas pressies out except for his aunt so he's got

4 in 1 trike,
Little tikes cosy coupe
Space hopper horse
Phone, key, remote set
2 lots of mega bloks, one you can push around
2 baby puzzles
Activity house
2 small push along cars
And some things from elc that fit together!

We've got a happy land zoo for his birthday as well as a happy land train a jcb ride on, two older wooden puzzles and were on the look out for some out door toys (water and sand table etc..) plus some other things

 

[Jojo84]

Where are you putting all that? Lol

He's getting a trike for his birthday as he won't get much use dec-march anyway due to weather etc.

We thought about a rocking bug but I don't think he's use it much right now

I've lost track of what I've got Emma. But I think she's done now. Also finished buying for Maddie too. They are so much easier to shop for when they are little. Have no clue what to get the older two. 12 year old girl and almost 9 yr old boy. Jack wants an iPhone. Not happening! And Lydia wants the new iPhone as her mum already got her an iPhone 5. That's not happening either! Lol

Kathryn we've got one of those little tikes cosy coupes in the garden. My kids still play with it! I want to get Emma the Minnie Mouse one for her bday though.

 

[Pumpkin9]

No idea where it's all going! We're already overrun with stuff.

The cosy coupe was a quite cheap in the end. It's got a light on the top and was reduced to £35 so thomas' great grandma is buying that for him

 

[T84]

Wow you ladies are putting me to shame!! S is getting a little tikes car too .. Didn't know there was a Minnie one toria!!

Has anyone noticed we are up to 10k comments on this thread. Must be a record!!

 

[Toria111]

Think it's just argos that have them

That's a really good price. Think they were like £90 back in the old days when Jack got his.

Hayley was weighed today, she's now 17lb 15 oz! HV said she's spot on for her development, babbling, sitting, bearing weight ect which is great

I've also got a doctors appointment next week to speak about Hayleys reflux, as theyre telling me only to give her mashed food due to her sickness. So looking to get back on medication maybe, that way she can experiment with food rather than only mash!

The Minnie mouse car is super cute!! I might get one for Hayleys first birthday but its purely dependant on space. Barely have any room left at the moment, it's crazy! Need my own house to fit hayley & all her stuff!

 

[T84]

Aw I love it toria!' Defo on the list.

That's great about Hayley kaedin - bar the mashing

 

[Jojo84]

Found out my best friend is moving away. It's not too far but far enough hat I'll barely see her. She's my only friend who lived close to me who I see regularly. Now she'll be an hour away and I'll never see her.

 

[Pumpkin9]

Aw Jojo, that's bad news. I wish I had more friends full stop, unfortunately I'm a selfish cow and I work too much so not going to happen lol

Why is she moving?

 

[T84]

Aw it's horrible jojo, my best friend of 15 years moved away in the summer to Amsterdam, it's horrible and miss her and the kids so much. Skype is amazing tho and think of the weekends you can have with her! We go on Tuesday and I'm so excited!

I'm sure that's not true pumpkin! :-L x

 

[Toria111]

Jojo, we moved an he from where we used to live. Just means a bit more effort to see people. Good thing is we tend to catch up for a day out rather than a quick cuppa here and there

Kathryn, I'm like you. I look at people who have friends coming out their ears and think " how do you manage to find the time and energy!" Lol. I'd rather have a few good friends.

 

[Toria111]

I'm not looking forward to the time change. Emma's gotten used to these 6am wake ups. That's early enough :-/

Jen, how did nursery go?

 

[T84]

It went well thanks toria. She was absolutely fine, didn't nap very well but that'll come with time. She's there for another settling in on Monday 10-3 before the real deal the week after. How's Emma feeling now? I don't know what to do about clocks going back, she will probs be fine I'm sure, just not what I need the day before going back to work! We will be in Amsterdam this week too so will have to work around time difference there too

 

[Kaedin]

I don't have many close friends, my best friend moved to London a couple year's ago for uni. We speak online a lot, and meet up when she's here which is good. She's invited me down before, but I just can't afford it.

Hayley tends to wake at 7, hoping to avoid 6am starts if possible.

 

[Natalilly1288]

I used to have loads of friends well so I thought until my mum was poorly and I had Macie then you hardly see people my best friend from school has seen Macie twice but that's because I hate her fella n he hates me he's cheated on her twice treats her like crap n she took him back both times and he stops her seeing me xxxx

 

[Pumpkin9]

Worst nights sleep ever! Thomas has a cold so was up half the night even with a plug in
