I am very tempted by murder. I am getting sick of asking him every week to at least let me lie in once. I plan the murder while he is at work later.

Diege · 06/09/2009 09:02

I've always thought gradually crumbling up tablets and slowly adding to food the most effective way

Kayzr · 06/09/2009 09:05

LOL Diege!!! That could work!

maxxymoosmummy · 06/09/2009 09:26

haha, i have lots of jobs to do around here too but just cant seem to get motivated. sure i will when DS goes to his dads though.

bodenaddict · 06/09/2009 10:34

kay - glad u had a good time @ ats
sorry for dh
kooky - i put frozen peas in foodbags and held them on boobs and took pain killers

glaskham · 06/09/2009 15:21

Kooky- once your flow is established they wont be so hot... it'll only be for the first couple of weeks. Though if they are getting too engorged hand express a couple of mils off then put cabbage leaves down your bra- helped for me. And as for the huge part- well can't help on that one i'm afraid!!

Kayz- think we can do a double murder... DH is like that!! i'll be up for an hour before i get out of bed, and he'll lie awake (but pretending to be asleep) most of it, then i'll finally give in and bring all 3 DC's down... Thats when i'm up all night feeding too!! [grrrr face]

Diege- hope you enjoyed your shower- i normally fit one in at bedtime as DD2 sleeps well between about 7ish and 10ish... but when she sleeps in the day i do like a shower or bath if i can.... not happened often though!!

Hello - just a quick post as we havent long got back from Warwick! I havent yet caught up but I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend.

We have been to Warwick today as my DH was took part in the British cycling event at warwick. He won the unicycle race for the second year running so please humour me for a moment as I am oh so proud and thought I would share!

His unicycle album is here
the race photos are the last ones.

I cant remember is it Moosy's bro that unicyles too? Well if it is Moosy then you need to get him to do it next year as numbers are dwindling and they need more people to keep this event going!

Hopefully I will be on tomorrow with proper catch up. Going to bed now as was up til 2am last night as DH was babysitting and didnt get in til very late!then we had an early start! see you all tomorrow

idreamofbeanie · 07/09/2009 07:02

Morning all, first day of ML today which is a great feeling although it would be better if I had managed a lie in. I'm finding it really difficult to get much sleep at all and I don't know why. I'm not uncomfortable enough to keep me awake (but not comfortable enough to enjoy just lying in bed either ) I just can't seem to drift off. Oh well, at least I can just have a lazy day today .

MMM - hi, welcome to the wagon and looking forward to meeting you in York.

Kooky - hope you and J had another good night and the norks are feeling a bit better.

Gruff - that's fantastic, congratulations to DH.

Kay - hold off on murdering DH until after Thursday! Looking forward to seeing you and the boys again.

Diege - LOL at you having a plan already . Do you have the tablets ready just in case?

That's all I can remember this morning but Hi to everyone else.

Kayzr · 07/09/2009 07:27

Morning,

IDOB, Do you still want to come here? I'll find somewhere nice to go for a spot of lunch if you want?

Work at 10 today. BOOO!!!!

essenceofSES · 07/09/2009 07:35

Morning!

IDOB - I remember having the same problem re waking early and not sleeping well in the last few weeks. In the end I told myself it was my body preparing myself for the lack of sleep to come!
It's a further excuse for daytime naps, although I did find that difficult too!

Kooky - thinking of you and hope all is on track for you to bring Joe home.

O has his third lot of jabs this afternoon. I'm not looking forward to it. The nurse commented last time on the particularly evil look he gave her after the first injection. 3 today I guess no one particularly enjoys jabs though so we'll get through it and I've got the Calpol standing by!

To make up for it, we start Jo Jingles classes tomorrow

essenceofSES · 07/09/2009 07:36

Morning Kay!

GruffaloSoldier · 07/09/2009 07:51

Morning all.

Thanks IDOB! Hope you manage to get nice and comfy today. Duvet and pillows on sofa in the day were nice for me Hooray for a lazy day!

Right off to catch up...

idreamofbeanie · 07/09/2009 08:00

Morning Kay, a spot of lunch sounds great. I'm happy to come over there - it's probably easier and I've never been before so it'll be a nice change. If I stick my mobile number on FB do you want to text me a meeting place.

Hey Ses, it is reassuring that I'm managing on less sleep so maybe the practice is helping . Good luck with the injections, hope he isn't too upset! Jo jingles sounds fun.

I am off to Bumps and Babes tomorrow with some of the NCT girls which will be fun. 3 of the babies have been born now - 2 girls and a boy so far.

idreamofbeanie · 07/09/2009 08:05

Morning Gruff - x posted. I am sitting on the sofa with a duvet and pillows as I type.

Forgot to say, my birth pool arrived last week and we blew it up yesterday to make sure it didn't have any leaks. It looks great and very comfy - I'm quite tempted to fill it up and lie and watch tv in it today . It's all very exciting!

GruffaloSoldier · 07/09/2009 08:12

ah you're sorted with comforts then All you need are the TV remotes, phones,laptop and chocolate! Bliss LOL

birth pool does sound very exciting IDOB!

OK off to rescue GC now...

Morning! Congrats for your dh on his race GRUFF! Sounds like you had a busy weekend
SES, good luck for jabs today; we have J's first set at 11.30 (first appointment dr's had in 4 weeks )Have forgotten about side effects etc so must ask. Also need to book a smear test and dd3's pre-school booster!
IDOB enjoy these next few weeks!!! I think relaxing will do you the world of good - don;t put pressure on yourself to sleep. And get some yummy food in too...I would love to swop places with you for an afternoon!
Hi KAYZ, hope work goes ok xx
Morning Boden, hope you sell your table. D0 you sell much on ebay?
Right, better get sorted. Really hectic this morning getting everyone ready and out the door. Must have a 'word' with dh tonight as getting all of them dressed, breakfasted and out of the door by 8am is near impossible. Funny how the 50/50 work division is becoming more 90/10 with me on ML I can only imagine what things will be like when I'm back in work!!

bodenaddict · 07/09/2009 09:42

hi diege

thought i would ask on here 1st then will put on ebay if no one wants it

cantmummyhaveabreak · 07/09/2009 10:30

morning all- have decided on a name-change.... (its glask)

just feeding dd2, will be back in a few mins

cantmummyhaveabreak · 07/09/2009 10:42

morning... had a very bad night again with Dd2... she fed on the hour every hour from 11pm!! grrrrrrr!! DH is on a late today, but he was very kind to do some housework before he left this morning!!

DS wants to go out and do something but i just wanna stay in and be lazy.... though a trip to the park was on the cards if MMM could make it.... but dont think she can now.

Boden- table is V.nice- i have the bouncy chair in the same pattern.

bodenaddict · 07/09/2009 11:13

table is great sorry for bad nite

Diege · 07/09/2009 12:40

Hi CANTMUMMY (how should we abbreviate??!) Phew, your night does sound exhausting Know exactly what you mean about wanting to stay in due to tiredness. I know they say you should head out for fresh air etc, but I do feel worse of I do that and can;t wait to get back home!
J's jabs were fine, though the second one registered and he let us all know about it . Up for his nap now, and settled fine
Childminder is collecting older dds today (to keep them in their routine and we've paid anyway, that's my excuse )so must try and make the most of the afternoon. Taking yesterday's washed washing out of the machine would be a start!

cantmummyhaveabreak · 07/09/2009 12:53

Diege- i think the 'going out for fresh air' is a rule only for those with only one child!! being tired and trying to control other, older, walking children is no good!!

Maybe i can just be 'CANT'... will prob revert back to glask when i'm feeling less tired- just feel its a never ending cycle now!! and i'm getting so exhausted- 6.5mths and i've not had a stretch of sleep any longer than about 4hrs... and not had a night where i had to get up less than 3 times.... i know, i know- some people (bump included) have it much worse but i'm just sooooo damn sleepy!!

Glad J's jabs were fine. DD was still tiddly when she had her first ones (still around 5lb) and i felt so bad when she was screaming like she'd just been shot... though i suppose being stabbed with a needle is kinda just as bad... wish you could just feed em a spoon of syrup and it all be done!!

bodenaddict · 07/09/2009 13:38

hi diege & cant - agree fresh air is easier when u have just the one. i find it a right pain going outwith both of them try to do park every other day will be very glad when dd1 starts school. then i am starting groups with dd2 sing & sign, swimming lessons & jolly babies end of sept when dd1 will be full time

poor u cant - is horrible not getting much sleep!! i am lucky both dds have always slept well @ nite only prob now is bracken wont go down @ lunch justs chats only has 30mins to an hour
