HAPPY BIRTHDAY O!

[steaknife]

Hi Ts. So this is what it is like when you are. Yawn. Dd woke at 2 she did not settle so i did a brief bf then back in cot. Was still cycle at 3 so i have spent the last hour doing controlled crying. But the little minx is sitting up every time i go in. Given i can hear our neighbour when he snores they must be loving this. All quiet now. Fingers crossed.

[steaknife]

Ts you got any food? I'm starving.

[TwilightSurfer]

Hey Steaky. Chocolate chip cookie??

[TwilightSurfer]

Yes evenings are a bit quiet these days on here. That's a far cry to a year ago. We were all up and all hours. Ann was up with me TONS, bless her.

I'm about to head to bed though. It's been a long day.

[TwilightSurfer]

Sleepy Wishes to ALL

Happy Birthday Oliver - CC Sam has exactly the same activity cube from us for his big day!

He found his birthday present stash that has been steadily arriving from the UK and bit into a present from his great grandma - just a CD according to the customs declaration so no damage done!

A lovely night out last night with the Mums although DS up at 5.30 for the day and DH and I off out tonight for our anniversary which is tomorrow - 6 years. Makes it look like I have some semblance of a social life!

MIL arriving on Wednesday and v.excited.

[NezLiquide]

That should be MIL that is excited

Morning

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAVEBABY

DD awake at 6.15 and as you can all see it is my lie in morning . DH was up watching a film late so just needs another hour or so then I can have my lie in

DD awake at anytime between 6 and 8 it seems to be poo dependant. The back to sleep 3 hours later which if at home can be upto 1.5 hours in her cot. She then goes down again between 2 and 3 for another 45 mins to an hour but must be awake by 4.30 or all hell breaks loose at bedtime. Bed is anywhere between 7.15 and 7.45 depending on the messing about factor of Papa. she then wakes at abpout 1 for a huge feed again at 4 then comes in to us anytime from 5 on and will feed and sleep until she is ready to pull faces!

Off to sort out the pooey one for the second time this morning! back later.

morning
Happy Birthday to O & A

Good night for me (thankgoodness)
ds slept through 7- 6.20
No top ups, not settling nothing.
dd still asleep

Someone told me the other day that Banana was good for supper as aided sleep. I was undee the impression that Banana took a long time to digest so was best not given before bed. Not sure on this but I gave him half, mashed with a little milk before bed and it worked.
Coincidence maybe??? we will see.

[steaknife]

Yawning all. After her marathon wake up Izzy slept til 8 and woke up happy. I woke up with a head ache from the 4Am blues. Off to get croissant for up all.

[cyteen]

no1 Funnily enough Joe had a banana sandwich for tea when he got home from nursery and slept through last night. He's been waking up and refusing to settle without milk the last two nights, then DP pointed out that perhaps he was hungry, since they have tea at 3pm at nursery. I was very

I was awake for an hour in the night anyway, poxy glands and headache. Tired of being ill now, wish it would fark off!

HaPpY bIrThDaY oLiVeR aNd AdAm !!!

[Miamla]

morning all

we bought a travel cot/play pen/cage for DS with some of his birthday money so i'm currently sitting here drinking a hot, yes hot cup of tea and DS is happily playing in it
this is the life i tell you!
off to catch up

[Miamla]

ooh but before i forget

happy birthday littlest Caveman

[hotterpotter]

Feeling almost refreshed here, DS crying at 5.45 but by the time I had had a wee and was going to go into his room he had stopped. I tiptoed back into bed and stayed there until 7.40 We are up now while DH continues snoring but it's my turn tomorrow so that's fine.

Had a letter from the DVLA yesterday. Apparently they have noticed that my driving licence shows incorrect details and they want it back . I thought it was too good to be true, and will have to take my test like other mere mortals.

Eww poo leaking onto jamas, better do something about that. Anyone got one of those clothes pegs from yesterday?

[hotterpotter]

That was gross, out the leg and up the back, ewww. I don't think anyone could let DS sit in a dirty nappy for more than 5 minutes otherwise it would peel the skin off your eyes.

Cyteen that is really rubbish about DS' nursery especially as you had just told them about it. Hope you feel better enough to play merry hell with them very soon.

No1 good to see you and oooh for your soon to be growing pony empire How does DH feel about the fact he'll never be able to retire now

Sazzles leather

Being kicked off already in favour of CBeebies so

Happy Birthday babyCavey

(and Happy Birthday miniAli if your mama is lurking )

[no1putsbabyinthecorner]

cyteen Interesting re Banana then.
I am so for you re Nursery/nappy.
I also hope you are feeling better soon, you have been ill for a while now.

miamla we have been using travel cot as a cage playpen for ages now. Had one with dd. I think I would have lost the plot by now if I hadn't used one.
It was the only place safe for ds away from dd battering, but she now climbs in with him

hotter If I see another exploding nappy, up front back and sides It will be too soon.
Just about had enough now. 3 weeks is just too long.

re pony empire Me, mum and sister have been looking at stables and grazing so we can all move/share together. So that will be 7/8 between us.
Dh is not impressed. He says he will not have anything to do with it at all.(meanin financially and caring for it). So I am sorting it myself.
I have had horses from being very small and the only time I havn't had one is while we have been together. I lost my horse the very week we got together.
So although he know s I love them, he has never really seen or understand my deep passion and the time it takes.

This should be fun.
I had the lecture of come rain, hail or shine that horse/pony needs seeing to every day.
err yes I know dad

I think it will do dd the world of good. Already being with my sisters up at farm she is loving it and is sleeping better due to fresh air and having more freedom to play with dsis dcs etc... I am hoping it will eventually distract her form bullying her brother... I live in hope.

[no1putsbabyinthecorner]

sorry for typos

Repeats to self >

[CaptainCaveman]

Morning - interesting posts from miamla and hotpot.... miamla apparently your ds is happily playing in your cup of tea? and hotpot you seem to have poo running down the legs of your pyjamas?!

Oliver not had his presents yet as dh has just got up [lazy fecker emoticon] and O is now back in bed . Still, he knows no different!

Thank you for all your lovely birthday wishes

[cyteen]

at MrNo1 holding forth on horse care...is there anything these men don't pretend to know?

Sorry to hear M is still suffering the exploding poo Did you get a sample off to the docs in the end? Mind you, they weren't exactly clear about the test results last time so I hope this time they make a bit more effort sense.

[AnnVan]

Morning all.

no1 it's good to see you although sad to hear that M is still having poo troubles. I hope the doctors are working on it.

Happy birthday Caveboy!!

DP is off at the dentist. He's having a lot done, we can't really afford it, but it's only going to get worse (and more expensive) if we leave it.
I think I'm FINALLY getting the hang of the mooncup. Until yesterday I ended up swearing at the damn thing every time I tried to use it.
Two new nappies arrived today they're sooooooooooo cute I'll have to take a photo and post it so you guys can see.

MIL's DP seems to be ok now, thank goodness. Just hope next week is better than the last one was. Right, lovely sunny day, so I really ought to get some laundry going.
