Baby Boom !!

Ok well I think I should come clean and finally admit to being the latest addition to the Net Weather Baby Boom Certain people have known for a while and have been fantastic at respecting my wish to keep it quiet until after the first 12 weeks dodgy period Having done this once before I thought it would be a breeze but I forgot just how tired you get. It's harder work when you already have a little one to look after.I also forgot just how loopy you go when you are pregnant. I introduced myse

Bank Holiday Break

Well I've managed to get Thursday and Friday off this week, so nice long weekend Unfortunately little fella has come down with a bug, resulting in me having to go and collect him at lunchtime. He had a temperature of 102F, so off to bed. He woke up, bouncing about and we went for a little walk. Later he flopped on the sofa, watching TV (very unlike him) and then demanded to go to bed at 6pm :blink: When I took his temperature it had shot up to 104F :o I've been lucky, as he has rarely been i

Simple pleasures

Yesterday we went to see the house that, hopefully, we are buying :blush: The last 2 times we saw it was when it was being rented out and what a state but yesterday it had been professionally cleaned and looked fab It need a bit of redecoration (bright pink/red walls ) but still has the Edwardian character The best bit about it is that it's 15 mins walk from the sea and I can see the sea from my bedroom window We went down to the front and spent 30mins dodging waves Little fella w

Hurrah

After a stressful few weeks, we have managed to get another buyer for the house They have a small chain, so hopefully it shouldn't be too painful this time The bonus is that their offer is higher than the previous people, so we will have a bit more money to play with B)

Too Honest

Today we had to escape the house for 2 viewings (both by the same people ) so off we went to Tesco to top up the Milk stocks etc. Bought little fella some vitamin tablets (his eating habits at the mo leave a little to be desired ) and he shook them around the store happy as Larry. At the checkout I chose a chap who looked really bored. To be fair he was very nice.....a bit too nice He was very nice but then I realised that he could infact be my son, which made me quite depressed Any

Unwell

Feeling a bit sorry for myself today. I had to leave work early yesterday with a splitting headache and feeling dizzy (nothing new there)I got hardly any sleep and am really tired today. I decided to take the day off and catch up on a bit of sleep.I've been sorting out little fellas toys and old clothes in the last few days pending a car boot sale in the next few weeks to declutter the house. It's scary to see how much stuff we have accumulated, I have not bought a lot of toys but still they app

Little Cutie

Well after my last few entries, I thought I had better have a slightly more cheerful entry. So here goes with a piccie of my little princess <_< Feel free to come up with a caption :unsure:

Oh F***

Well, it's not totally unexpected but hubbie came home tonight to tell me he is now unemployed, made redundant, factory closed I had an expectation of it but after 9 years of working for the company it's still a little bit of a shock :blink: The annoying thing is that all pay, holiday pay is now paid at minimum wage rate I'm trying to be upbeat and look to the positive but I feel I am the only breadwinner at the mo :unsure: I could get really annoyed and upset that we relocated (and ha

Busy Time

Well what a busy time I've had since my last entry MiniLoo has arrive but yet to be given an official name. We are deliberating two different ones but have to decide which is to be the first and second name Most of the time she is very quiet but she has some moments of mega shreaks Girls seem very different to boys and I don't remember little fella being quite so scary She has mild jaundice but nothing to worry about, apart from a slight dodgy looking tan We were brave today and go

Fed Up

Well having spent the morning in the hospital, I get back to find a letter from the consultant wanting yet more tests No wonder the NHS is strapped for cash - I'm using up all the budgets :unsure: It appears my red blood cells are too big and I could be lacking B12 or have an underactive thyroid gland Plus they want to check I don't have a kidney infection This morning was such fun Take some blood then made to drink a container of orangy coloured liquid which tasted like flat, swe

Mothers!!!

Finally we have the house to ourselves My mum came down to "help out" when I came out of hospital. She was waiting at the door when we got back :unsure: I've always had 'issues' with my mum, who seems to take pleasure the negative side of life I won't go into detail but she was not at all helpful and ended up winding me up to the point I had to leave the house a couple of times to calm down <_< I managed to get her to go back home yesterday and all she did was complain to my bro

Are We There Yet?

Where do kids get it from :o Little fella is totally into the 'are we there yet', just where do they learn this :o What is the correct answer ? nothing, No not yet, almost? I was supposed to get my windscreen fixed today but the guy arrived and told me that as I have Solarglass (tinted blue windscreen) that the repair would be clear and show exactly the same as it is at the mo, so I opted to pay the insurance company £50 to get a new one but I have to wait for them to order a new windscreen

Sad News

I found out tonight that my grandma, who was 99 last friday, passed away last night :unsure: My dad's mother, she was soooooo lovely. A spirited woman but always had time for people I saw her just over a week ago when she saw Tilly-Bea for the first time. She was over the moon but still made a fuss of Milo to make sure he did not feel left out I'm sad I will not see her again but know that to be half the person she was would be a fantastic achievement A toast - To my grandma, the most

5 Go Mad In Devon

We ventured south today to Devon Me, Mr Loo, Grandma Loo, Milo and Tilly First we decided to stalk Wibs in Taunton, to no avail :unsure: Then we took a brief tour of other areas of Devon. I could tell you why we were down in Devon but I would have to kill you if I told you <_<

Spoke Too Soon

Well I spoke too soon about Tilly and being ok after her jabs This afternoon she was really upset, not sleeping, eating and generally being out of character for a few hours I ran the doctors to check if they wanted to see her and they said just bring her down straight away. When we got to the docs, after 10 mins of screaming the place down, she started smiling :unsure: Doc reckons she has had a mild reaction to the jabs that has just made her legs a bit sore after the jabs. So lots of

More House Viewings

Much as I like people coming to view our house (and hopefully buy it) I hate having to tidy up Hubbie reckons it's loads better than any houses we have viewed in the past and that's before I tidy up but I just want it to sell Today was a 2nd viewing and, finger's crossed, they both seemed to like it (Wife came round by herself 1st time) Other than cleaning the house, I don't feel I've done very much in the last week or so :unsure: Went to Gloucester on Saturday. I've been briefly a mon

Pain

Oh I ache all over and am starting to feel a bit sorry for myself My ligaments are getting a bit soft and it's starting to hurt when I walk or sit for too long. Plus my kidney is getting really painful :o I'm off to see the specialist on Friday but it seems like a long way off at the mo Hubbie phoned tonight to report back from South Africa. Today Johansburg tomorrow Petoria :blink: Little fella starts at Nursery tomorrow and is beside himself with excitement. He is really familiar with the

Miniloo

Well finally manage to persude my naughty computer to re-install the scanner software so finally I have a picture of MiniLoo to show you Today we ventured into the centre of York (don't usually bother with the centre - too busy and expensive to park/eat etc) For once I actually managed to buy something for me A knee length wraparound flared skirt (v trendy for me) and a top from Kookai (sp) Bought little fella "The Magic Roundabout" DVD, then returned home where I went to sleep for an hour

Cheesed Off

I'm getting a bit cheesed off with being unwell at the mo. I had to have a scan on my kidney on Monday, as well as a growth scan, as Mervin is a little large for the dates. Because of an emergency I never got to see the consultant and find out how the kidney is but Merv is fine (dispite having Mick Jagger lips ) Went to the Docs yesterday re an ear infection to be told he had been sent my blood results in error. They were checking my kidney function which seems ok but it now seems that my Li

First Dress

I was very naughty today and bought Princess Tilly a dress and little pink tights :unsure: I know babies should wear babygrows for the first few months but she needs one dress for special occasions <_< The dress is far too big, even though it's a 0-3 months and the tights look like Nora Battie's We are going up North to see my Grandma, who had a bad fall last week and is in a lot of pain and I thought we would cheer her up :blink: She loves Milo to bits and I just know she will fall

Naughty Kidney

Had to go to see the Specialist again today. They scanned my kidney to see how much it was dilated. Thankfully it's not too bad today but they are concerned about the amount of pain I am in. I have to go to see him again in 3 weeks time but if the pain gets bad they want to admit me and maybe put a stent in The plus side is that I got a piccie of Mervin p.s. Hubbie reckons he's playing the Playstation :blink: :o

Breaking Tilly

Well not literally Princess Tilly has been a very sleepy baby but recently has had a bit of a problem going to sleep on a night time Little fella was a dream getting to sleep, come 7pm he would have crawled upstairs himself if he could Last night was a total nightmare, with constant screaming :unsure: Eventually got her to sleep at midnight <_< Tonight we had a gentle, quiet bath, then read stories (to little fella) but still she decided to scream the house down. So, after cha

Not Well

I had a bad night last night with my kidney and ended up taking the day off to recharge my batteries a bit :blink: As MiniLoo (Mervin) gets bigger, it means that more pressure is being put on my poor kidney, so I am suffering a bit more at the moment.I'm having another scan on my kidney on Friday to see how it is changing, I hope that it can be controlled without them having to have an early c-section :o But I am trying to be positive and work on the priciple that it's better that they know wh
