HELLO!

Gosh, it's been soooooo long since I came on the forum!

Hello to all my lovely, special friends!

I am going to go and read up on the latest news!

Baby Grace is now 8.5mths old and exists entirely on breast milk! She is very chubby and pretty...and today I found she is cutting her first tooth!!!!

I am immensely sad about having to wean her most probably by October as my RA is out of control...

Well hello there, Amanda - very nice to see you posting!!

Can`t believe how old Grace is already - they grow so very quickly. How are the rest of the family?

Sorry your RA is bad - hope things improve for you soon.

Take care,

Hi Amanda,

All well thanks - we are off to York next Thurs to look after Jacob & Ethan for the day, now that school is over for a few weeks. Ethan will start school in September, can hardly believe that!

Nick & I have just had two lovely weeks in Portugal - just what the doctor ordered!!

Sorry Mark`s away again - have you got plenty of wine?

LOL

Portugal is gorgeous- whereabouts did you go?

I sure have plenty of wine, am drinking a lovely Rioja!

It drives me mad that Mark is away so often these days, it has become even worse than ever....

Still, it allows me time to prepare tassles and leaves (of the cabbage variety) for the girls nights out................

God bless!

Amanda

Wonderful to have you back on board, as it were. We are setting sail on the Ark Royal next weekend for Edinburgh, where we will take part in Zara's wedding celebrations. Get the wine and leaves ready!!!

Welcome back Amanda!!! glad all the family are well, and baby Grace is doing so well. Sad that you are not too good, it must be so hard knowing you will need to go back onto drugs soon, but you need to be healthy too. Grace has an amazing family and I know you have lots of support from your older children. Take care of yourself, and God bless!!!Smile

Hello Amanda

Lovely to hear from you. I must say, I was starting to get worried as you hadn't been on the forum for so long- I was thinking of posting a message to see how you are but you've beaten me to it!
I can't believe that Grace is already 8 1/2 months- it seems like only yesterday that you told us you were pregnant! Time certainly flies.
I'm sorry to hear that you're not so well.

Take care

Love

Maria

Thank you!

That photo was from Christmas Day so baby Grace was 6 weeks! How time flies, it goes far too fast fro my liking..

I will have to post a few more updated photos....

After i wrote on here I went and found my pregnancy blog- it was so strange reading all those entries and part of it is so very sad.

Hi Amanda

Lovely to hear from you again ThumpUp Pleased Grace is doing so well, she is such a beautiful baby.

Sorry to hear that the RA is giving you a tough time. Do please try to get back on the meds soon, long term damage is the last thing you need. Your growing family need a healthy Mum so do take care of yourself too Smile

Welcome back. I have been following you on Facebook but I still cannot believe that Grace is now eight and a half months. I am sorry that your RA is not so good. Time for you to think about yourself.

Take care

thank you!

Today is baby Grace's 9month birthday!

She is at this moment laughing and smiling at Ben and waving a shaker at him, dropping it and waiting for him to deliver it back to her.........finger, twisted, around springs to mind............!

Her eyes are squinting up so much she is grinning so much!

I love her!

Amanda
