Aww love your photo of Maddie it still amazes me seeing babies underwater!

Kaedin sorry your OH is being awkward deffo get yourself out tomorrow and spend some money on yourself!

Bex glad you've had a nice time and have a safe journey home, I love Cornwall it's where me and Chris got engaged on st ives beach so I have lots of lovely memories from there!

Jojo I hate being let down it stresses me out! Sounds like you've been busy baking cakes though!

I literally haven't stopped today cleaned all the house ready for my step sons 8th birthday party after school, went shopping etc decorated the house entertained everyone sorted Stanley out bathed him, we have his cousin sleeping over so Chris and the kids have gone to field to play footy I've got Stanley to bed, cleaned up now I'm sat with my feet up!
Got another busy one tomorrow.. We are off to a VW show it's being held in our town so we'll be taking our Campervan then at 4 we are at a BBQ hopefully the weather stays nice

 

[Kaedin]

Aww that looks great!!!

I feel on the verge of a mental breakdown. Hayley is still awake, she's crying if I put her down, crying if I pick her up. Was sick on me twice then twice on herself. Won't take dummy, refused a bottle I made an hour ago, so just made a fresher one which she's eating, Hope she goes to sleep after, I'm ready to pull my own hair out as I've been trying everything this evening.

Hope the weathers great for you tomorrow Stacey! That sounds like a great wee day

If she's refusing a bottle and dummy maybe her teeth are hurtin? Even if they're just moving around. Hope she settles for u soon xx

 

[StaceyRainbow]

Thanks
Stanley can be like that too with his bottle.. He wants it but struggles to drink it and it's quite frustrating, I put it down to his teething, hope she settles Kaedin and you get to chill out x

 

[Kaedin]

Gave her some calpol just after 9 and she's now almost asleep in her moses basket, so thinking it must;ve been teething pains? Now time to get all her bottles washed and sterilised. Wild Friday night eh!

Went to Drs today and they said they would prescribe Hayley with Ranitidine for her reflux...but she needs to speak to a pediatrician as she doesn't know what dosage to give...so need to wait until Thursday to find out. Urgh.

OMG what is your GP paid for?! I was sat there when my doc worked it out! He's on 0.8ml 3 times a day of 75mg per 5ml. Austin weighs 16lb

Meant to ask, do you find it helps?

It helped a bit, more so with the silent reflux (he arcs back from bottle crying a lot) but it's working well alongside the gaviscon

 

[T84]

Aw kaedin what a crappy day for you! I agree with getting yourself out tomorrow and having some time to yourself, it's well deserved!!

Dizzy that photo is amazing!! Do you mind me asking how much it was? We were talkingn about them today and another girl thought it was quite expensive.

Everyone seems to have had a mad hectic day! I hate people cancelling too, especially of your looking forward to it. Toria you really ARE like super mum eh?! I dunno how you do it. Take some pics of your wee van at the show Stacey, sounds fun.

We have had a nice wee day in the sun too. S was in the paddling pool then had dinner with my mum and sis for my sis's bday. S has slept a lot, must be the heat! That kinda bodes well for our holiday

 

[dizzybaby]

Thanks girls!

Jen we had a whole saga with those photos! Our shoot was booked through the swim school with one company who were quite reasonable I thought but they cancelled last minute so the school brought in this other photographer who is stupidly expensive! She wants £25 for one print and £175 for a disc of all of them!! I was quite annoyed about it but I'll pay for the one proper image and I've been a bit naughty and saved some of the watermarked ones on my computer - the next swim shoot they're using a different company who are more reasonable but they had no choice this time. The one they're using next time will be £10 per photo print and £40 for the disc. The prices vary wildly!

 

[dizzybaby]

Aww kaedin Maddie was like that Wednesday after her jabs kicked in, hope she goes down for you soon xx

Such a cool photo to have, but that is really expensive! Think we paid £20 per shot when we had Emma's baby pics done at home. But she had to drive almost an hr to get here, and was here almost 4 hours. But I'm guessing Maddie was one of many babies there?

 

[Toria111]

Kaedin, hopefully Hayley slept well

 

[dizzybaby]

Yep she had hours of full baby sessions so she's making a bloody fortune!! She just charges ridiculous prices i refuse to pay it, I'll just wait til next time!

 

[Pumpkin9]

Too right I'd refuse! I honestly think prices like that are just greed.

Going to a nearly new sale today. Last time I picked up some right bargains so hoping to get some good toys for Thomas. Won't bother with any clothes though.

Managed to go to my local childrens centre yesterday where they have a toy library and I've borrowe fab activity centre for Thomas to try. Needs a wipe as the centre didn't get a chance to clean it down when it had been returned but thought it was worthwhile before I buy something like that.

 

[dizzybaby]

It really is, she was the kind f person you could tell she thought she was really something special but there's other companies who do exactly the same standard of work and charge sensible prices! I know it's naughty to nick them off the viewing gallery but I'm sure she'll be making enough out of that session!! Just ridiculous, babies and weddings seem to give people the green light to triple their prices!

 

[dizzybaby]

And that toy library sounds like a fab idea!!x

 

[Jojo84]

They are great pics!! Ours will be £10 for one and £5 for each additional one.

I found an app called free prints who give you 45 (I think) free prints a month from your phone delivered to your door up to 500 a year. You pay like 19p after that and about £2 for delivery so I'm trying it out to see if it's any good. It will be nice to get the pics from my phone. I found a pic of me holding like for the very first time I hate it cps I look awful but it's a rare picture so I'm getting it done.

Like woke at 4am giggling and kickingn his feet... I left him there and he just more or less giggled for 3 hours lol he was havig tons of fun.

He's really getting into the weaning now. Opening his mouth when he sees the spoon, losing very little out of his mouth. He was definitely ready for it.

Those are lovely pictures. I'd love to get some but my little one currently hates going swimming so I can imagine how she'd react to being dunked!
