Hi ladies and little ones Chloe has a v bad cold so we wont be able to make it today - have a lovely time! Fingers crossed for next week...Hope all are well and will be thinking of the ladies that are due around now. Best wishes Shauna and Chloe

Supergolden I am right there with you - my little one is only 3 weeks old and she has had nasal congestion on and off from birth. Apparently she now has a cold - we have been to the doctor twice and have been assured that she will get through it but it will take time. I got a humidifier yesterday and have spent the whole day today in the bedroom with the humidifier on - I took her downstairs for 30 mins and her breathing got really bad again so we are going to stay in the bedroom until the situation improves. Poor little thing. I know exactly how you feel it is totally heartbreaking like nothing else watching and listening to them struggle for breath. My little one also has green mucus - we were assured that this is from her cold. I hope your little one improves soon - we cant use many of the vapour-type products as she is too young. The only one we can use are the Calpol saline nasal spray which is nice and gentle but doesnt do a great deal (it was great when there was much less mucus). I have found lying her on her side helps a lot - maybe you could try this? You need to put a pillow behind her and then roll up a cellular blanket to put under her arm at the front so she doesnt roll over. You will also need to make sure to swap sides throughout the night so her arm doesnt get sore. I also have a wedge pillow under her mattress in her moses basket - she tolerates this for a little while too. Hope this helps and hope both babies are better soon...

HI ladies Sorry I missed it too. Chloe is a bit mucosy and vomiting up a lot of her feeds today - thought it best not to risk the other little ones catching whatever it is. Penny Chloe was 1 day early by the date they gave me after my scan, but by my dates she was almost 3 weeks late! The MW that delivered her said she was at least a week overdue, and my mum (mother of 8) reckons she was about 2 weeks overdue, so her actual due date is a bit of a mystery, but somewhere between 18 Dec and 7 Jan! Best of luck to those due in the next few weeks - will be thinking of you! Will do my best to make the next one - could really have done with some grown up conversation today (have not left the house for 2 days - cabin fever is not the word!) Shauna x

Hi all My little one arrived on 6 January - hence the no-show on the 8th! We have named her Chloe. We hope to make it along tomorrow at 3 to see everyone too. Hope all are well...Looking forward to meeting the little people! Shauna x

Hi all I can make this Sat too. Due on Friday though so count me as a tentative! Debbie and Emma congratulations on the arrival of your little ones - hope you are keeping really well. Green and Blue good for me. Does 10:30 suit people? Looking forward to catching up. Shauna x ps on maternity leave now so around during the week too!

Hope everyone is keeping well. I cant make it on Sat as I have my NCT class all day on Sat. Have a lovely time everyone and hope to make the next one! Shauna

I will be a bit late, but will pop in to say hello. Toddlers are not allowed upstairs at Le Chandelier, but we could go downstairs or change venue? Hope everyone is well. Shauna

Hi Penny and Victoria Missed you both today but hope you are feeling better soon! It was only myself and Debbie from last time and a good mix of first time and second time mums - lots more names to remember! Hi all Was great to meet you today! Kirsten, the name of that website is tiffany rose (http://www.tiffanyrose.com/). The dresses are a bit of a splurge (to say the least), and Ive not ordered any to try on, but Im sure you would feel like a million dollars in any of them if you decide to go for an evening dress. Good luck with the move! Looking forward to next time! Shauna

10.30 works for me too. Looking forward to seeing everyone. I think downstairs at Le Chanderlier is fine if any toddlers are coming, its just in the upstairs bit they are not so keen on little ones (I imagine this is because of the spiral staircase). See you then!

Hi everyone. I am expecting my 1st on 7 Jan, so would like to meet up too! Can make Sat at 11 so hope to see you all there. Looking forward to it. Shauna
