Hellcat Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Me of course! I wouldnt waste good choccy on those little ingrates! Actually I am making a trifle for pud tonight. A family fave and as they won't eat anything else in this heat... just add ice cream! Crammed with raspberries and strawberries as well, so I can stop panicking about their 5 a day...

He looks sooo yummy Gina I've got another baby too now - one of my best friends gave birth last week - she's home now and doing the usual crying/not coping thing that comes with first babies - called me last night for sympathy and asked me to pop over at the weekend and sort her out. I'll take him out for a couple of hours so that she can rest - can't wait little sooft cheeks to nuzzle -Mmmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infact, I still have my moments with the sleep deprivation....ugh Everyday gets a little better though.....

The Dogmother Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Glad to hear it Gina - he'll be having plenty of cuddles, in fact you might even forget that you have a baby I'll say hello from you Gina - thanks. She just needs some support at the moment - OH has gone back to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 It's a really awful time isn't it? Should be the best time, but being a first time Mummy is really a very anxious time and such an emotional roller coaster. I'm on week 7 now and things are so different, it's amazing what a difference a few weeks can make. The best advice I can give her is to go with the baby's flow for 6 weeks and not worry about routines or doing the 'right' thing or listening to too much advice from people (good willing as it is) Plently of time for that.

The Dogmother Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I think she just needs a bit of 'me time' to have a shower, wash her hair and sleep. She's been expressing, so I'll bottle up some milk and take wee Oliver for a walk to give her space. Bless him, her OH just doesn't think to do it.

The Dogmother Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I tought of you, they chose Oliver James, I like it although her OH keeps shortening it to OJ - brings to mind a certain unsavoury character Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have friends like you who came in just to wash up, put some washing on and make me a sandwich. These things make such a huge difference.

Guest Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I tought of you, they chose Oliver James, I like it although her OH keeps shortening it to OJ - brings to mind a certain unsavoury character Owen often gets called OJ, sometimes OJ-PoJay ( I know he'll kill us for that when he's 18), and he gets really annoyed, because when he was born we had 2 cats OJ and Simpson (we were given them when a friend moved, we didn't name them), and he always thinks he's been jamed for the cat.

The Dogmother Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Rosie really hates being called Piglet When she was born, she was a big, chubby baby who made guzzling, oinky noises when she fed - the name stuck, but she still answers to it.
