UK SMOG Wannabes - March

[maybebabythree]

Thanks kell that's good to know. Ds2 was late to walk as well but never linked the two until now. Hopefully it will no effect on his life. It's just a name for a condition at the end of the day I guess. Love the name Lilly x

Maybe, he is gorgeous, super cute!!!!! I've had two 'chunky monkey's' (as I used to call them) and he's so sweet. Love his stripey sleepsuit! Sorry to hear about the possible Spina Bifida, but as u say, it's just a name for a condition and Kell is right, many people have it and it doesn't affect their lives one bit. I wish too I could get a wee hold of him for a cuddle, thank god I'm pg or I'd be super super broody after seeing him!!

Hi all, didn't get on yest, had my mum here helping tidy and 'prepare' for babies....3 WEEKS TOMORROW!!!! EEK!

My boys having a rough time at school, felt sorry for both of them this morning going to school. Friday my workmate died was just taking that in (even though it was expected) when I got a call from the school about ds1 (he's my good boy, so wondered what it was???). Turns out he's been upset having no other boys in his class and it's finally taken it's toll on him at school. I knew all this, but appreciated the teacher filling me in and she's gonna make a 'topic' on the importance of friendships old and new and get him to write a diary of who he played with that day and how he felt. He does play with other kids, but is shy and doesn't really know where his 'place' is, where to fit in either with the class above or below him. Makes me feel terrible for deciding to stay here and not move, but financially we have no choice at the moment. So Fx he puts himself out there a bit more and makes new friends. Teacher said he's a very well liked boy by everyone and if he had more confidence in himself he would be ok.

Ds2 has had 2 kids 'strangle' him last week a boy (on tues) and a girl and I spoke to the playround staff about the boy, but the girl did it on fri, so I'll be going to the school later to speak to them as Dh took them today and I'm better dealing with these things, Dh would go 'mental'.... Ds2 says the boy won't let him play with the other boys and he tried to find ds1, but being 4yrs apart they aren't allowed to play in same area. The girl that did it, her mum is always moaning to other parents about her 'precious' daughter etc not getting this or that and would be the first to come to me, so I hope I see her later. Watch out...HORMONES!!!! lol But it's not on, is it? Ds2 can be a 'storyteller' but he promises me they did do it and I can't ignore even the 'possibility' of another kid having their hands round his neck!!! The joys!

Babymad, you had asked about baby things. I have got everything now (inc 1000 nappies, no joke!!!) and have saw alot of nice summer clothes, but bought alot in the sales that I'll wait and see what I get as gifts before I buy anymore as so many people have told me they have got some clothes already for them. Some of the nappies I got were an offer in sanisbury's a while back, but my friend recommends Amazon for bulk nappies! and my SIL uses nappies from Kiddicare, both free home delivery over a certain amount and the kiddicare take back what u don't use if u wanted to return (but who would?) I have nappies from huggies, pampers, tesco, asda, sainsbury's and morrisons.... will see what's best! Hoping the cheaper supermarket ones are ok as they are cheaper and I've always been a pampers and huggies mum, but with 2 to buy for!

Off to tidy, although my back has had it!!

Hope ur all well and had a good weekend with ur families??? Sorry that was a 'about me' rant, but feels good to get it off my chest. x

[Kell]

Oh bless your poor boys, I'd definatly be speaking to the school and mum about ds2! And I hope ds1 comes out of his shell a little bit soon!
On a moving note, I'm not sure if it's in Scotland as well but it's worth a look I suppose, the government have introduced a scheme called new buy, where you only need 5% deposit for a new build home. I'm not sure if it's all builders or just some that are involved but it's something we are looking at, If we can do this it will be better for us than the loft conversion.

So sorry to hear of your friends passing, even expecting it makes it no easier! Hugs x

Omg the girls will be here in 3 weeks!

[littlemisswilko]

Littlemisswilko ~ when is your 20 week scan?

my 20 weeks scan is the 4th april, think its the day after inglewoods section date or the same (not quite sure) urghhh. i will be getting my section date at that appointment too.

[littlemisswilko]

maybe - your boy is adorable! just love newborn snuggles. so nice to read your posts!! im sure he will be okay so try not to worry to much!!!

[Inglewood]

Kell, not heard of that here! Too late now anyway, have got the bank loan and Dh has got a roofer etc lined up... but thanks for mentioning it!!

LMW, wow, it's the day after and I won't be able to see how ur scan goes till I get home!! Don't have an i-phone/ Android phone, just a plain old boring one, waiting for an upgrade soon. Dh will update my Fb status, but hasn't a clue how to upload pics from his phone or the camera onto fb, so I'm afraid no pics till I get home unless I can suss out his phone a bit better!! if I have time.....lol

[littlemisswilko]

aww inglewood you will leave us all in suspense!!! i love the 48 hrs there routinely keep you in for! just so nice to spend that quality time with the bubba on your own! i carnt wait!

[zanacal]

Sorry to hear about your friend Inglewood x

Sorry your boys are having a rough time too, the playground 'stuff' can be so upsetting. DS1 in particular is always coming home with something horrible somebody's said or done and it's sometimes hard to know when to intervene. Strangling is definitely one of those times though!

Lol at your nappy collection - you won't need to buy any for a while then?! We've always used Tesco and found them better than other brands. I compared them in cost to Kiddicare and they worked out cheaper too. 3 weeks - eek!

[deaks66]

Oh maybe, your brand new little dave is simply GORGEOUS! So wish i could have a cuddle! And what an amazing birth story.... if only we had the hindsight of our other babies before we made our number 1's!! So glad all is well, i cant wait to have that new in love feeling again Sorry though to hear about the spina bifida... will be hoping all is ok and like many conditions there are often very mild forms that barely affect people at all.

Sorry ladies i feel like im being absent at the mo. Partly rediculously busy and struggling to keep up with posts and partly trying to keep my mind of gender etc

Hope you are all well. Charlie, babymad, pinga, chocolate im always thinking of you and hoping every day getting easier.

Inglewood, cant believe only 3 weeks to go! So very exciting! Sorry to hear about your friend though.

Much love to all! X
