conker, I was indeed up at 3.18 because he was feeding. He took ages to settle last night, so I let DH stay in bed whilst I gave up & got up with him. It works out okay because now all I have to do is feed all day as well - DH has enough energy to run around after me & change nappies & stuff. Doesn't mean that it's not a little irritating seeing him fast asleep whilst I'm dealing with a whingy baby, though
The DVDs are a good idea. I'll have to find something to get into as well. We're finding that George simply won't sleep unless he's being cuddled - & chooses the most impossible positions to be comfortable in, so we have to move after a while & then he wakes up & won't settle again. He's not so difficult to deal with if I'm lying on the sofa, it seems - it's easier to prop myself up. So I could definitely make use of some DVDs to watch that I could drift in & out of a bit.
purple, your DH really has been helpful! I find the image of your DS with his little tool box so cute I hope he feels better soon. Ooh, lucky you with two of those things! You are spoilt!
& Ooooh! Yay for MM! I wonder how many compliments her cervix got
As if Ju forgot her mobile! She'd better be speeding straight back on to Patientline
Hey Kaz that's really good weight gain! Hope your first day alone's going smoothly.
BB, stop doing so much! Disguising the OJ stain was more than enough, never mind painting ceilings! You've just given birth - are you mad? & do you really think anyone's judging the state of your home at the moment?
WFH, how windy / sick is Orbit? I'm just wondering what's excessive... George is quite windy & a little sick after most feeds. I think that's okay, but don't want to miss a potentially fixable problem.
frekkles, our finances are all about to change with baby-related benefits so I can't talk specifics. What we do (after much previous inconvenience) is have a joint bank account which we both pay into proportional to our individual incomes, from which the bills are direct debited. We make sure that there's always enough to cover the bills with a bit extra & don't ever spend from that account in any other way so we don't have to worry about it. & even when there's no money for any luxuries at all (like now), we're safe in the knowledge that life can continue with a roof over our heads & hot water, etc.
Oh Kali How frustrating. It really does have to be soon, though
Auld! Congratulations! Another 11th baby - the full moon really did work! Interesting about the acupuncture for piles - I may have to look into that
Lauren, sorry to hear you still have no baby - sounds like progress, though!
I hope Nutty's getting her induction agreed... I can't take much more of her moaning
