Lmao man flu, men are such puffs aren't they!! Bet they couldn't get up in the middle of the night and feed bubs let alone breast feed when they feel shite!

Nah, we normally just put the tv on if he comes in with us in the morning lol, he'd prob go back to sleep but we just 'get up'. If it was reeeeeeally early like before 7 Wink we would go back to sleep. He has a nap a couple of hours after he gets up anyway.
In bed for 6.50 tonight :)

Tell me about it!! I told him he's a complete puff and he said 'it's flu'. It's not, its an f'in cold!! I have made sure that he's pulled his weight with Joshua today, not given him a rest lol. I decided since I don't get a rest neither does he Grin

I try and get Joshua to sleep until 8:00am if he goes to bed at 7:30pm. it's nice to have cuddles in the morning isn't it. :)
How's Euan done with his milk today?

Omfg, did you hear, there has just been a babu born in china - 15lb 8oz!!! Shock Joshua only weighs 14lb!!!

KLou111 · 09/02/2012 09:01

I know!!! I hope she had a section! Imagine pushing that out of your fanjo!! Shock

Well done on the sleep Euan! Now will you please come round here and teach Joshua! He was up loads again last night, coughing, snotting and crying etc.

Just ordered some of those funky giraffe dribble bibs :)

KLou111 · 10/02/2012 10:31

Hope you get your bibs quick, they are bloody good :)
How did Joshie sleep last night?
Well put Euey down at 7 last night, he briefly sang at around 6.30, back to sleep, next thing Bali started barking for a wee and it was 8.30!! Grin

Iwish · 10/02/2012 13:00

I hope they come quick too. I ordered them and they were marked as shipped only a hour later!! Talk about quick.

Joshua went bed at 7:20 and had a feed at 10:00 then woke a 1:00 crying back to sleep by 1:30, awake crying wanting milk at 2:15 then up at 6:45 for a feed and didn't go back to sleep!! Well he slept while feeding (for almost a hour) and stayed awake till I got up at 8:45. Not suprisingly he's asleep now!
Just been to our last baby massage class too and he loved it. Grin

lizandlulu · 10/02/2012 13:21

hiya all, i havent been able to get on computer cause we had a power cut on tue night and fried something in the back of it!!

Iwish · 10/02/2012 16:21

Hey liz I wondered where you had gone! Is it fixed now?

KLou111 · 11/02/2012 11:18

Morning :)
Hope you're ok Liz and not missing us too much without your computer! It's crap when they bloody break, you realise how much you actually use it!
How is little violet?

How's josh been iwish is he better? How are you feeling?

Not a lot going on here. Just out in the garden today to clear up a bit ready for seeding tomorrow woohoo! Hope it grows, not meant to drop below 4 up until friday, so as long as it starts germinating should be ok. Was only cheap though, so if it doesn't, will just get some more. Want to get this house on the market end of the month really so fingers crossed it starts. Took 5 weeks to get a lawn last time we did it, but was growing within a week so you could get the idea :)

Hi klou Joshua is miles better. Still doing the odd cough but otherwise fine. I'm ok too just a little snotty.

Loooove joshies bibs!! He looks so cool in them too lol.

Well we now have a high chair do thought we would just practice putting him in it when we have our tea and giving him his spoon to play with. He sat there like a good boy while we had our tea and then we decided to purée up some grapes and see what he thought and he loved them!! (grapes are the only fruit we had in lol. Nick wanted to try and Joshua really liked it. He had about 2 1/2 spoons.

How did you get on in the garden? How's Euey been? Is he ok with his milk today?

Hope you are ok liz and not too lost without the computer.

KLou111 · 12/02/2012 08:51

Morning, tried to write last night but phone died lol! Couldn't be bothered to go upstairs!

Sounds like Joshua going to like his solids then :) What a good boy, and in his high chair too!
Amazing how wet the bibs get isn't it! Saved clothes though.

Got most garden sorted, got a little bit of soil left to move, as the digger men left us a pile to put in the front garden, but it was so difficult to move as so wet so Rob going to finish it when Eueys down at lunch time, then will seed it :)

Milk fine still :) Although Euey was wacked last night, fell asleep in his chair at 6, and after waking him up 4 times, I gave him his bottle, and put him to bed without going in the bath! Poor little man was knackered for some reason!

Are you back yet Liz?

Iwish · 12/02/2012 12:33

Yeh I think he will be fine with food, he would have eaten the full bowl If we had let him. Greedy little monster.
Had a crap night with him again tho. Ended up in our bed at 4:00 be ause he wouldn't settle. He had a feed at 10:00 and 1:30 then at 8:30. Been trying to give him his dummy a little more so hopefully can use it to settle him at night.

Bless him, what time did he end up going to bed?

Just been to church and now just feeding the monster and hopefully he will have a sleep.

KLou111 · 12/02/2012 12:51

His feeds not too bad though iwish hopefully he will drop the 10pm one soon :)
I think Euan went to bed around 6.45 as I did give him a quick wash and read him a story, then he went to sleep.
I fell asleep downstairs about 10, and rob woke me at 11.45 to go to bed and said Euan woke screaming at 11, he thinks he was dreaming but said he had tears and everything, put his dummy in, and straight off. Very odd!
Just started bloody raining, garden done, seed prob tomorrow now :)

OP posts:
Iwish · 12/02/2012 13:34

Id be happy if he dropped the early morning one. I don't mind the 10pm one. Would love to go to sleep from 10:00 till 8:00! He wakes up about 4 times a night crying too. Can take ages to get him back to sleep :(
My baby is high maintenence lol. Grin

Wonder if he had a nightmare? Poor little mite.

Iwish · 12/02/2012 14:33

lizandlulu · 13/02/2012 08:56

KLou111 · 13/02/2012 15:57

Hiya Liz good to hear from you :) So jealous of you going to euro Disney, have Ab absolutely fantastic time, and enjoy your time with lulu, bet she loves it! Not only cos of Disney, but cos she will have you all to herself :)

Lol iwish bfps do seem aaaaaages ago!! This time next year, may have another one Wink

Can't believe Euan is 6 months today, god its flown!! My little man ain't so little any more :( but still our little cherub :)
Been good as gold bless him.
Woke up screaming again last night at 10.45, I was awake this time. It's very odd! I put my phone on so I had a dim light, he was wide eyed, dummy in, fast asleep!!

Been stripping beams in our bedroom today, the last room to do, hate stripping paint! There was sooooo much of it in our house when we moved in. All the windows, sills and beams, and beams above the windows and doors were stained mahogany!

Iwish · 13/02/2012 20:07

Lol liz nick thought it would be a good idea to purée grapes as we didn't have anything else in.
Bet you can't wait to get your computer back!! I use my iphone for Internet and I'm totally lost if I don't have it or it'd dead etc.

Sounds like you have had a busy day again klou. You will be bored if you don't have to do anything to your new house lol.
Wow 6 months! Time is going so quickly isn't it, Joshua is 5 months this weekend.

Well I feel like crap again. After getting rid of the awful cold I had last week I now have headache, earache, sore throat and sore eyes :(
Didn't get dressed till 3:30 today. Would have stayed in my Pjs but I got bored so we went for a walk.

lizandlulu · 14/02/2012 10:23

chris bought me an iphone for christmas, finally went on sunday to get the smaller chip thing sorted and it doesnt bloody work! permanantly got no signal. chris is going to give it back to the man he got it off (didnt get it out the shop like a normal personHmm) so just have a oldish phone, can get on internet but facebok, its too hard for anything else.

and got her a docs appointment for 9.30 tomorrow, was emergency one as her chest and cough is still no better and want her looked at before i go on thursday. i dont want her getting worse whiel i am away

Iwish · 14/02/2012 11:20

Awww poor Violet. I hope she gets better v soon. Hopefully the docs will give her something to help.

I love my iPhone, im lost without it lol. I had to do nicks sim thing the other week because he had my old one. Had to register the sim online before we could use it. So easy :) my brother did mine originally 2 years ago so I didn't have a clue lol.

Joshua went to sleep at 7:30 last night and was up at 10:50 and 4:25 for a feed then up at 7:50 another feed then back to sleep till 9:40 Grin woohoo!! Best sleep I've had in weeks. He didn't wake up randomly crying. So happy but bet it was a fluke lol.

lizandlulu · 14/02/2012 15:02

what a good night iwish!!

god i have got so much to do before thursdaySad

KLou111 · 14/02/2012 15:53

Hi all!!
Hope violet better ASAP Liz especially with you going away bless her.
I had a phone where the signal just went all of a sudden, still doesn't work lol.

That was a fab night iwish hopefully it wasnt a fluke!!

Well Euan is being a pain in the arse with his milk again! Not teething or anything. Wouldn't take it last night so he woke at 4ish, which I suspected he would, dummy in, back off til 7.40. Polished off a full bottle this morning, but just been fussy with the 3pm one.

I forgot to say, I went into Halfords the other day to look at car seats as a friend recommended the maxi cosi axiss. Never heard of it tbh, but bloody hell its fab! If we had a normal car, I wouldn't have bothered, but with a pick up, and it being so high, its better. Anyway, Halfords wouldn't match precious little one online who were £10 cheaper. Went to mothercare as they price match online and they told us as Euan was under 9 months they wouldn't sell it us!!!! Wtf??? I said his head was about an inch lower than his seat, but his legs are all bent up, she said that we shouldn't get it unless his head was right at the top and 9kg. He was 8.98kg when we got him weighed so the weight not a prob, but she said he was too young. She said unless he was too big for his other one, she wouldn't sell it us. I said well he will still be under 9 months probably when his head touches so what do we do then, she said it was ok for him to go in it!!
Needless to say we've ordered it online! 3 week delivery anyway.
I know what she was saying, but the bit that confused us was if he was too long, it was ok. Well its either ok or its not, not just ok if he is too long for the other one! Surely it can still be a risk!

liz hope you get everything done before thurs. you can relax on your holiday then :)

klou I really hope it wasn't a fluke, I'd love him to sleep well again!!
Can't believe they wouldn't sell it to you!!! Seriously do they not want a sale! Idiots lol.

Well today I've spent about 2 hours in the car posting christening invites. Joshie fell asleep for about a hour.

What's everyone got for valentines day? We only do cards
