Gosh, it's been a very, very long time! I am an OLD member, and the last 13 years of my life have been involved with getting married, having kids, having dogs as well as cats - you name it! The two beautiful cats I had when I first joined TCS many years ago have left us now - the second girl...

So, long time no see everyone! How are you all? It's been many, many months since I've posted here, motherhood has been very time consuming! However, we are very blessed with our beautiful daughter. She's a wonderful girl. She is the happiest, most beautiful, gorgeous little creature. She...

... our new daughter, Poppy Alexandra, born 22 July, 2008 at 8lb 15oz. She is a darling girl, such a placid little baby, big and healthy and strong, eats a tonne and sleeps for hours. Fingers crossed that doesn't pass too quickly! I'd like to thank you all for your lovely messages and well...

.... we had a scan this morning to determine that my placenta has moved up into place so I won't have to have a c-section. Everything is normal and as it should be, which is fabulous news, so hopefully in about 7 weeks we'll have our precious little girl! Here is a reproduction of the 4D photo...

.... so antenatal classes might be a bit boring for the husbands. Sure, they are support people and need to be there and so they need to know, but still, all the nitty gritty bits are not really relevant to them. Still, would this excuse your husband if he came with you to an antenatal class...

**Note: Sarah asked that this thread be moved out to The Cat Lounge from the Premier Lounge so everyone can see her update. ** Hi all - I just wanted to check in and say that even though I haven't been posting for a while, I do hang out from time to time to catch up and get my TCS fix. My...

Yes, Nicole Richie had a little girl on Monday, Harlow Winter Kate Madden. I actually really LOVE the name, but that's not why I've posted here. My question is more to do with Nicole herself. I feel (and I could be mistaken) that she has changed immeasurably since finding herself pregnant. I...

....oh dear. I just ate a slice of lemon meringue pie and half a cherry ripe. And I didn't even want the cherry ripe after the pie, but it was there, so I ate it - and I didn't even enjoy it! Sigh ...

Well, names. Hmmmm. So many choices! How do you pick the right one? We've got 7.5 months to decide but it's a big decision! I've browsed around a couple of pregnancy and baby forums and there is a nice thread idea that has come up a few times. It's a thread of the members' children's names...

Well, I just had a positive pregnancy test. I guess all the advice I was given about my brief relationship hiatus with Max - you know, about firing it up in the bedroom to get things back on track - may have paid off more thoroughly than I'd anticipated! It is VERY early days - I can't...

This isn't a great photo as I took it on my phone but here is my little man Chester. He lays on the floor at your feet and gazes up at you like this for ages. It's so precious. I know he only does it because he knows its so irresistible it'll keep the cuddles coming for hours....

I was trying to get a good photo of the pups without the flash, because it always makes their eyes go green. I didn't get any good ones of Chester unfortunately (but will keep trying!) but here's two great ones I got of Miss Ruby. She was playing coy in the first one, and in the second one I...

...seeing single shoes lying on the side of the road? Honestly, I can't tell you how many times I've seen this. Usually they are old sneakers or something, or a thong (flip-flop - not the other kind) but today I saw a black stiletto pump lying on the side of the highway before the tunnel...

...Well, today was the day that I decided to FINALLY go through the bags and baskets of paperwork and unopened mail that we have had lying around for way too long (naughty, I know) I got the table all set up and surrounded myself with everything I needed to sort, and Chester decided he wanted...

Ok, so it's Max's 35th birthday next Friday. He has been so sweet and good to me lately so I organised a big surprise birthday dinner for him at my girlfriend's restaurant. I emailed everyone involved and twice - TWICE - made it very clear that this was a surprise. Everyone was going to get...

Would I possibly be able to get some vibes for my sister-in-law? I just found out from Dad that she was rushed to hospital last night bleeding internally from an ectopic pregnancy. She is nearly 39 and she and my brother were trying for their second baby. I am hoping that this will not...

One of my MIL's colleagues turned up to work one day and announced that she was going away for two weeks and somebody would need to look after her fish. And then she left. So Kay (MIL) brought him over to me. We called him Poppet and have had him ever since. He's a blue Siamese Fighting Fish...

I'll let it speak for itself World Clock

This is so frustrating. Ruby has some fleas and although she is on Sentinel Spectrum (all round worming and flea treatment) and has never missed a dose, she seems to have picked up some hitch-hiker fleas from somewhere. According to our vet, most dogs and cats have fleas at some time or...

I thought it would be nice to see everyone's favourite, favourite photos they've taken of their babies - all species included! So I started this thread for everyone to show off their favourites. Photos that are just great pictures, or photos that really capture the essence of your baby. Here...
