HENthusiastic Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 How wonderful and generous are Omlet folk? We are overwhelmed by the kindness of omletteers. We have received such beautiful hand made presents, even from some folk we haven't (yet?) met. Thank you all so much. It must have taken some coordination, not to mention the time and skill involved.

bluekarin Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Yay! I am so pleased you have got it! I kept checking to see. Looks lovely. Well done Freddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurmurf Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 The delay in getting it to the wee man was my fault, sorry! I had hoped to deliver it personally then realised it was waiting too long, so posted it. You were all so good at getting it made so quickly and freddie got it to me just the day after we met Joe for the first time: when he was only 5 days old!

bluekarin Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 It's not a problem and wasn't a criticism I was just impatient to see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HENthusiastic Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Laurie and ED were in the area yesterday and popped in for a very well timed visit. Me and K were having a small crisis of confidence about caring for our little unpredictable bundle of cuteness and she poured reassurance and comfort on us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HENthusiastic Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Sorry about the size of my pics, and the fact that they seem to be all ways up! I have been trying ..... Honest. Luckily I used the "preview" for the first picci because I'd actually posted a picture of a pig, feeding her piglets, instead of the beautiful blanket! Now that would have confused you all wouldn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Beautiful gifts - well done to all concerned. I am soo envious of Laurie getting all those baby snogs. It's inevitable that you get those @I'm not doing it right' moments - you're exhausted, hormonal and want to do the right thing... babies are remarkably resilient and the wee man won't be wanting for love:wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I clearly remember having the same thoughts when I had Rosie - I knew exactly what to do and how to raise a child, having helped bring up my friend's 3 lads, but I suddenly looked at her in the wee hours of one night and thought 'I don't have the training for this job'... in hindsight, I was being a bit overwrought and tired. There's nothing wrong with putting him in his cot, walking away, taking a deep breath/cuppa/walk round the garden, then going back to look at the situation with fresh eyes.

chickencam Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Cute though babies are, give me teenagers any day, at least you can ask them what is wrong, even if they still don't tell you, and you do get marginally more sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
