edit:deleted my pictures.. they'd make it obvious which pumkin was mine. but i'll put my ryan halloween pics up after the competition's finished
Hope you are all well.. Emmylou I replied to your other thread but here have some hugs

I'm also having a down day. I keep thinking to myself maybe I should call the health visitors but at the same time, it's one thing calling up but then I wouldn't know what to say. If only they had email or something..

cos I know if they came round for a 'chat' I'd feel like they were only there cos they had to, and I don't know if I want to chat to them about things anyway. I don't know what it would achieve as you guys on here are much more supportive than I can imagine her being. Valentine how are you doing?
Hugs to anyone else who needs them
I can't keep up with this thread as some of you I don't know that well yet, so please don't think I'm being rude if I don't mention you, I'm just not always sure what to say
Great halloween photos by the way, and Nic - Keeley looks so adorable and omg how much older does she look now!

I prefer the cat costume but they both look great on her
Nat, the end comes off the bogie machine and you can wash it out. I'm finding though at the moment his bogies are too big to fit through the hole (he's all snuffly, probably got my cold) so it sort of sucks them out and I just wipe them off him with a baby wipe. Sorry all... that's far too much information isn't it!! It was £3 something in Boots..
We've had an ok day, not brilliant as I've been feeling down (I don't know why) and Ryan's been restless too, and when one moment he is content and I just about got him to sleep, I turn back and he's proper screaming, not even waking up quietly. So he's probably not feeling very well or something
Yesterday and today I've been looking at different styles of lingerie to try and make myself feel a bit more attractive/sexy. Probably end up getting something like a babydoll or whatever it's called, the ones that cover up the belly

I don't mind the extra baby weight, it's the stretch marks I hate and it makes me feel really down. They're not that high up my stomach, which is good, but they are all over my hips, round to my bum, and all down the insides of my legs (nearly as far as my knees). Nothing's gonna cover all them up and it makes me feel so ugly. How does everyone else with children manage to cover the stretch marks? Bio oil isn't making them fade much, and even when they do fade, the skin will be all weird underneath
*meh*
On the plus side, the pumpkin competition entries made me chuckle
