h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi honey

I was just thinking about you (because Spike was on my TV) and I thought I'd stop by and say "hi"

Hi Sho!


I never seem to get much time to myself at the moment (I'm sure you understand... ), so am very seldom here. But how nice to see you here!

Things with the snotling are fine, if a little tiring. I seem to have problems with breastfeeding from time to time, but am still perservering.

I keep meaning to post on my journal and check the thread, but now I have hundreds of posts to catch up on! Say hi to the ladies for me.

How are you hon?

I'm fine - relieved to hear it's just "mum stuff" keeping you away!!!

Sorry the breastfeeding is giving you a few problems - if the tea was any help and you want more, just holler.

I was thinking about you the other day. Watching Buffy (something I don't usually do) with Spike and Angel.

I'll pass on your regards to the droolers. We've picked up a few guys*, and we are all naked French Rugby Players. Some things never change.

*to the thread, I mean... at least one is gay and trying to prize the Deppster from us. Over my cold, rotting corpse, matey!

Prize the Deppster from us??
Like that will ever happen...

Watching Buffy eh?
I used to watch all the 4 hours of it on daily on Sky when I first had the snotling.

The tea that you sent me was great, thanks. It took ages for my milk to come in properly, seems like my body doesn't want to squander any of it's precious energy (in Chinese medicine, milk is made from blood). And don't even mention trying to express milk... The pump is known in this household as The Extraction Device!

I hated the pump (good name!) but once I got going with it, I produced more than a herd of cows!

As long as the wee one is thriving, I wouldn't worry too much.


It's harder being a mum than you'd ever think it was, eh?

hello honey
everything ok?

Hey Sho!

I haven't logged in here for *ages*, so it's lovely to see you'd dropped by!

As always I don't have much time, but I'll tell you my news...
Thing Two was born at home in the birthpool 2 weeks ago today!
She weighed in at 9lb 4oz and is an the exact image of her sister when she was a tiny sproglet. We don't have a name yet, so she's going under the moniker of The Bean.

I'll put my birth story up here when I next get a minute!

How are you and your tribe?

(it's good for breastfeeding, you know)

well, here everything is ticking along as usual - totally full of stress, and the usual humdrum stuff but no more or less than usual.

#1 is getting on well in her new school and, because it's not the one I wanted to get her in, I'm hoping that she can "move up" a school at the end of this year.
#2 is getting ready for secondary school - I got her in where i wanted and she's going to join the bilingual French class which is great.

is cheffing away.

How is your #1 getting along with the Bean? and your man? the 2nd one is a whole other kettle of eh? I was much more relaxed 2nd time around

Hi hon!
Thought I'd pop into h2g2 to say hi


This is the first time I've been here for ages! I mostly hang out on Facebook these days, so if you're on there too come and say hi. I'm listed as Fynn Willis.

How's life with you?
I can't quite believe that Tara (The Bean has a name!) will be 1 in a couple of weeks...
Lilith was 3 in October and is mostly just a joy now that she's got used to not being the only one. She's obsessed with babies now. I came downstairs the other day and she was making a strange grunting noise.
"I'm having a baby in the birth pool mummy. I'm breathing it out but sometimes I have to shout it out."
Genius!

I'm not on facebook in an attempt to reduce my computer time...

your two sound gorgeous - I love the birth pool story.

But I think you're counting wrong - surely they are still tiny babies...
(mine are in secondary school and I feel all crone-like)
