Amy I have just sent you a text as would love to book a massage for as soon as possible. Stephanie

Hi everyone Looking forward to the catch uP at the Actress this evening - especially as I have only been available for one so far! Have to wait for hubby to finish late meeting but hope to be there before 8. Very interested to hear about this sleep seminar - sound like a big hit! Steph X

I've reread my initial post and realise it doesn't make sense.... So apologies. I should be clear , I am 30 weeks pregnant and now have swollen ankles (as of yesterday) but this didnt happen at all in my first pregnancy. Bit shocked by it. I will contact my doctor when home from Rome. ... I'm drinking lots of water too. Thanks all S

Thanks EDmummy. Hoping it's not medical issue but will ask ( I did fly on Wednesday so was worried it might be connected)

As of last night I have swollen feet and ankles!! What can I do to reduce the swelling? I didn't suffer from the in my pregnancy S

Westfield is the company name, they own and run malls in NZ and Australia - if the question on why it isn't called Eastfield was a serious one.

Thanks minimac X

Can anyone tell me the times for Bea's bop or Tippietoes - and do you have to book?

Strawbs Firstly - congratulations on the new arrival!! Re the sleeping, don't worry, he is very new and the his world has suddenly become very big. He was used to the warmth, comfort and secure surroundings of your womb. He just wants lots of cuddles and to be near you, or your partner. My son was the same. When he was born (he is now two years old) I would swear he was asleep, put him down and he would wake up immediately, other times he would remain asleep - but there seemed no rhyme or reason. He is so new, each day will be different. Enjoy the time he sleeps on you but keep trying to put him down, when he's asleep. But really, don't rush things. Plenty of time for sleep training in a few weeks, months or when you are ready. Just so you know, my two year old is now a great sleeper and could self-soothe by around four months (if I am remembering so far back!). Just one other point, if you have a group like NCT, that will be useful support and they will be going through the same as you at around the same time. Only one caveat is don't measure yourself or your son too closely against others as all babies differ. Great example is that we had one baby in our NCT (out of 6) who slept ALL the time and it made the rest of us feel very inadequate at times but it was just him- he was just a sleeper, and still is. Congrats again and relax and enjoy. X

Well the sun is now shining so fingers crossed it holds..... C a few of you soon in the engineers! X

We just went with Christmas bonus last year and as we are in a nanny share, we wanted to agree on an amount which both couple were happy with. There is no rule, whatever you feel comfortable with.

I took my two year old for his check last week and was told it was Wednesday only - but not sure if this was the same as baby clinic as I had an appointment. Sorry - might be more confusing than helpful!

Hi bee74 2pm Wednesday is the engineers cafe, coffee with (or in my case, without) toddlers for those off work. Think so far it is me, Missmack and LillyD. Not sure who else is around? Would be lovely to see others too. Also think that there is an entry saying that evening meet ups are now every other week with the next one on 3 Nov. I can't make 3 Nov as I'll be in Rome for a conference. I really want to come along to meet everyone so will have to wait til the 17th (?) Nov..... Seems such a long way off!!! Steph X

Hi all Just playing catch up as haven't been on in a while. I am also off work this week (as LillyD and I share a nanny and the nanny is on hols!). My son (Oliver) will be at nursery on Wednesday but happy to meet up for coffee then, i'll just be solo. Missmack, 2pm Wednesday at electrical cafe sounds great. Also, if you wanted to do Tuesday morning too, Oliver and I will be around? Steph

Hi All Steph here (was previously Goldielab but this is my own account). Apologies but I won't be making it tonight as I have a stinking cold and cough - I don't think anyone would want to share that. I should be on for next week though if there is a meet up? Steph
