arrrrr i'm jealous, i wanted that gym for chloe, but my mum bought some cheap crappy one instead.... so we got stuck with it. the toys all velcro on, so consequently there' no toys left on it coz chloe pulls em all off, and uses the cross over bar to sit herself up and to lean against.

We looked at a cheaper one in ToysRus but decided if we bought it we'd just end up buying another one later on! It was £50 but he loves it so money well spent I think. We had loads of proper smiles from him!
Kitten - she's not my midwife anymore. She wasn't even my midwife anymore when she referred me to social services! I went independent to get away from her and her 'team'. I have to deal with their incompetence at work (they refer to my department a lot and make a LOT of mistakes!) and the way they made me feel as a patient and it was a different one every time and discrepancies in my notes and totally avoiding answering my questions - they were stressing me out too much.
My midwife now is amazing, she calms me down, makes me feel so empowered and like everything is just going to be fine. I know it's a little paranoid and untrue, but it feels like the community midwives are getting one last stab in because I tried to get them out of my life. No matter how much my current midwife sticks up for me the damage is done :( I HATE appointments with no purpose. I hate trying to fulfill strangers expectations. I'm a little calmer today but not much. It doesn't help my partner has just closed down about it and refuses to talk about it at all with me. I need hugs! Arr.
Only good thing right now: one week at work left and then I can SLEEP ALL THE TIME! :)
I hope things work out ok. You should be alright - just be yourself and prove the midwife wrong.
lol when I was pregnant I slept all the time! At the end, I was spending all day in bed, getting up midafternoon to have a bath, then back to bed again. I was reading lots of books. I was just too uncomfy, even sittign on the sofa. My bump was massive.
Same here! I had spd so the only comfy position was lying down (and even that wasnt always comfy!) so i spent a lot of time in bed. I bought some books from amazon for a few pence each and read them all several times!
So glad you've got a decent midwife now, community midwives are (in my experience) mostly awful, mine were rediculous. Hope things go well with the social worker, you may find once bubs comes that they're useful to access other resources.
Lying in bed.... i want a lie in, but right now Sponge Bob Square Pants is on...

My heart just needs his smile, that i can't forget, like so melancholy a kiss.
i dont know what it is about lie ins, but every time im having one freyja sleeps til a reasonable time. every time jamie is having one, shes up at the crack of dawn. so we had a late night last night for once, i didnt get to sleep til about 1am. freyja gets up around 6.45am so i knew i would be tired. 4.45am she started. im knackered.

look at these photos of freyja i took yesterday. i cant believe how fast she is growing up. this is the first time she has stood without me holding her. shes still holding on to things, shes no where near ready to stand completely alone and she isnt pulling herself up yet either which i think is a good thing! i am enjoying the time i have at the moment when she isnt quite mobile yet as she isnt crawling, she can go backwards but thats it. by the way, i am waiting for an appointment with the eye pavilion about her left eye, as you will prob notice in the pic its squint.

Aw, Stace, Freyja's adorable and she has indeed grown loads!
Hefalump- Helen? i hope Maddie gets well soon! that doesn't sound nice at all...
Essers been in a funny mood all day, real stroppy. Every time shes got annoyed she felt the need to hurt herself - mostly by pulling at her hair or banging her head on the floor. Not really sure whats got into her today. Yesterday it was jealousy and i don't want to share my mummy and today it's this. I wonder what tomorrow will be! haha.
It's so easy to get lost in constantly having to present
whatever face you believe a person wants to see rather than your own
scares me how much she has grown! wait til my dad comes over on 10th dec!!! he came over for the birth (lives in america) and he left 3 days after she was born. the difference in her now!!!

chloe is crawling about, grandma has had to remover her ornaments after chloe thought it was fun to roll a glass candle about on the floor! she isnt getting much standing practice because nothing is low enough for her to hold onto, so unless we hold her up she doesn't practice... of ocurse if we hold her up we have to wander about aimlessly bent right down (backache galore) at a snail'space for hours....
lol.
i'm buying her the v-tech walker asap!
