Hi everyone, well ollie's at school now! My baby! I didnt cry but jake did! I was so shocked but when i said "ok say bye to ollie now he's going in" jake said "why?" then starting crying! He was so upset! It did make me get a bit teary though! Ollie seems to like it although he told me that today two of the boys he'd been playing with yesterday, just didnt want to know him today?? One of them kept running away when ollie went near him & the other told him he wasn't his friend?! Is this normal? Ollie's so...

Kind and friendly but he's also quite shy and very sensitive. He said he didnt mind that they did this but i can't help but worry? He also said he wanted more friends coz he's only been playing with one little girl & when it was playtime she just wanted to go & find her older sister so he played on his own?? It doesnt help that he didnt know anyone there before he started and its obvious that some of them already know each other. How are all your children? X x

OMG I can't believe he's at school now it's gone so quick hasn't it?

It's quiet normal for children to be like that hun over the weeks he will get to know more of the children and build up his friendships :)
And you'll always worry I'm afraid hun :) I worry about Lucy settling in, in her class with a new teacher.

Have a word with the teacher and ask how he's doing and see if they can do anything to help him build his confidence alittle, I have done that today the teachers were really good about it all.

I feel like a blinking soap opera at the moment lol the girls have obviously gone back but I've already had a ding dong with some of the mum's, my Grandad *my dad's dad* kicked the bucket yesterday and I had to tell my brothers who are devastated, my mum's on holiday in America, so I haven't told her yet and she is going to miss funeral ect and I've been left to sort everything out which is just over whelming at the moment although I'm not going to the funeral as I didn't know him really and things in my past which my brothers don't know about and I want it left there int he past iyswim?
Alex's doctor got his diagnosis wrong it's complicated he has development delay (motor) so isn't uing his muscles arems legs ect and won't for a long time basically the name has changed but the outcome is still the same we go back on 6th Nov for an update.
And my younger brother *17 his GF is now living at my mum's with him because her dad was bascially mentally/physically abusing her evil he is. Well her *7 yr old brother is in a bad way and it doesn't look to good at all so I am trying to help the best way I can.
And the HV has asked me to get councilling over alex's birth it's still so raw :(

Is it sad that at nearly 25 years old I still need my mum and can't wait for her to get home to take over?

Sorry it's a negative update hopefully one day it will be more positive :)

hope your all ok take care xx

you o.k joanne, i posted over on the baby forum too, it's the last thing you need isn't it, if it's not causing him any pain then it shouldn't be anything serious. don't worry about still needing your mum i'm the same lol especially when i'm sick!!

He's gone with his brother as I couldn't get anyone to hae the kids :(

He's also got to make a video statement because he's reg.blind he's not happy about it though and worried about any repercautions sp?

The police have go us an alarm/panic alarm fitted.

I took lucy this morning and the GP wants to see us again in 2 weeks time she's really upset about it all he's said to act normal with her untill then :(
I had the door open this afternoon and people were outside talking and she started to get really upset shaking asking if they were coming for her *cry* I had to act normal tell her not to be silly and went in the kitchen to have a cry :(

It's also very quiet around here mkes me wonder what people are upto :(

hope your all ok and take care xx

how you all doing hun, is andy home yet???

it's gonna be a while before you feel safe again :-( the sooner you can get out of there the better!! whens your mum, could you all stay with her for a while??

take care, you know where we are xxx

joanne hun u must feel shattered, i really hope u manage to get out of there soon hun,
hope andy is ok (as ok as can be in this situation)
sending big hugs to u all. xxx:evil::D

hello, hope your all o.k
as we'd been out for the day and blaine seemed o.k off his drops i thought i'd keep him off, BAD idea, never again he was waking every half hour!!! he's back on them now and sleeps from 7-12 in his cot hen comes into bed with me and i think he has about 3 feeds after that(i'm not sure cos he just helps himself lol)
brodies still having probs with his teeth but there almost all through now, so hopefully not for much longer!! i took him to pre-school the other day, i'm gonna go with him until half term then he's gonna go on a fri morning on his own, i was almost in tears when we left :-( most of them are the same age but brodie seems way behind, i know theres nothing seriously wrong he's just taking his time, but he fell over twice in the playground and really hurt his arm(he's so clumsy) and he gets really embarrased when they all sit down for a snack(he'd rather go and play), i just want to keep him at home with me forever!! the thought of him being told off cos he's not doing as he's told really worries me cos he doesn't understand. i think because leah was so grown up when she went i found it easier, i just know i'll sit worrying the whole time he's there, i may wait till after christmas if i still feel the same after the holiday!!

i was thinking it would be nice(when the lo's are a bit older), if we could all meet up somewhere central to all of us, it would be great to have a coffee and a proper natter

take care all, hope your all making the most of this gorgeous sunshine:\)

aw shona, like you, the thought of leaving oliver at pre school terrifies me! im still in the thinking about it process,lol
oliver hasnt quite got the hang of sharing toys so already im seeing troubles,lol

it would be great to all meet up sometime and have a good natter :-)

i started weaning evie yesterday, she isnt 6m for a couple wks but she is def ready, hates baby rice though,lol.
she had some carrot yesterday and loved it.

hope to catch up soon. xx

Hi all hope your all ok?
How are you and the boys Gemma?
Is Blaine any better Shona? Are you ok?
How are the children Kirst, he looks so grown up in his uniform doesn't he and Oliver's pics of his 2nd Bday, he looks like he had a fab time :)
How are you hun how's Evie doing with weaning, can't believe how quickly time has gone by

I'd love for us all to meet up and have a good natter that would be fab!

Andy's home now he even went to work yesterday *Sat* I was not impressed he shouldn't be going out woking but he doesn't want to be 'resting up' grr men yet when he has a cold it's man flu and ''the worst thing ever'' sigh just can't win can I? lol
He's back at the hospital on the 25th they said it will take time to get eye back to the way it was as the fracture is just over it above the eyebrow and down the side of the skull and so also affecting the eye and the pressure which doesn't help but he will be ok that's the main thing.
There also going to straighten his nose while he's there apparently they break it to do it not for me rather have a wonky nose

Anyway must try to get some sleep as have to be up soon seeing to the girls :)

take care xx

Hi ladies, how are we all? Meeting up is a lovely idea shona. How's brodie's teeth coming along? I think jake still has the back one on each side, top and bottom, to come through so 4 more but he's showed no signs of getting them yet! One of the girls in ollie's class, her tooth fell out the other day & it made me realise that i've got to go through all that with ollie soon. Wobbly teeth really freak me out!! Jo, is andy still giving a police interview? Did they catch all of the guys? Hope your ok hun x x

hi lades, hope everyone is ok :-)
glad andy is ok joanne hun :-)

evie is doing ok with weaning so far, she has about 4 lil spoons of apple or carrot a day as she bloody hates baby rice,lol

i bought some of those annabel karmel cube trays so im gonna steam a variety of stuff and freeze it, she has been a right grump all weekend, so been using teething powders.
gggrrrrr, she is off again, better go get em out,lol

take care catch up soon. xxx

lol Kirst she wants the good stuff apples and carrots, Alex really likes carrots aswell he'd eat them all the time if I gave them to him :-)

How is she tonight, is she any better hun?

Andy went about a week ago now Gemma to give his statemnt on video, he didn't want to but I'm glad he did. Yes they caught them all they were in court last friday asked if they were pleading guilty or not guilty, so we are just waiting for a date now :( hopefully it will be over and done with as soon as.

I'm the same Gemma lucy freaks out about the sight of bllod I'm expecting her to pass out

How are you Shona?

Well I went and met the some of the girls off here today at pizza hut it was really good and I really enjoyed it aswell seeing their gorgeous babies i took Alex with me he was a star and slept all the way through it bless him, he's had a big day. Hope we can all sort something out so we can meet up sometime soon :)
