Ah, minipop your foody posts remind us of one of our reasons for existence! We have been a bit lax on this of late! (forgot to say, the baileys hot choc sounds lovely, yes please!) sorry your weekend was crap, hope the week improves.
Welcome elvis to you, your baby and the chocolate gooeyness, and congrats on the LO...
susie in this house DH is marmite and I am Vegemite. Obviously there will be a protracted battle for Kid's loyalties. (hmm, who is more likely to do meal prep?... 
)
mrsn lovely sounding meal. Hope you nod off in car tomorrow!
heff sounds like a great use if the lovely weather! We went to the park again, alas the hot choc was disappointing 
but the walk was gorgeous. And kid slept the whole way!
Sorry to miss some name checks, hope all are sleeping gently...
mrsn the 45 minute intruder escaped from solitary confinement and should be returned immediately!

feeding again here, back to 3 hour stretches around midnight instead of 4
I have a horrid cold too which shows no sign of shifting 
Enjoy pizza, Baileys, cheesecake etc everyone! We had a takeaway curry for dinner as we were too lazy even to heat something from the freezer
Xmas market was a bit of a let down sadly - just lots of tat on sale really 
though I did have mulled wine
DD is now coughing as well as in pain with wind so looks like I will be keeping her upright for much of the night
Hope everyone else is doing better!

Two hours and she's starving hungry again! The person who said sleeping like a baby. Clearly never had one
Like the outing stories. We are going to the Xmas markets near us next week.... If I manage to get out the house before one that is- not as easy as it sounds!
Anyone buying their LOs Xmas pressies? Am undecided as yet, she'll get loads from relatives and we are going to be skint!

Waves at elvis 
first feed here since 930pm! My lovely chilled baby has learnt to scream last 2 days 
its a shock when he's been so chilled out! Its a kind of overtired cry - despite loads of daytime sleep (how can he be overtired??!) but I'm starting to get nervous about it continuing! My dad had to take him out in pram yest as it reached a crescendo & I was pulling my hair out! DH can't cope with it as its so loud! I really feel like if he would go to sleep and settle himself it would help, last 2 days he seems to have put himself on 3-4 hourly feeds with very little clustering & not interested in comfort/feeding to sleep! This means rocking & takes longer therefore over tiredness - I think?!? Hopefully Tomo he won't do it!
mrsn sounds like 12 week growth spurt to me!
All of you unable to sleep - try this, I struggled recently and randomly imagined myself being rocked to sleep & it worked - bizarre but worth a try xxx

Welcome elvis and thanks for the pizza minipops! Baby small is v awake he did his usual half 9 wake up again and went back to sleep after a cuddle then 11 then now. Hoping we get to 6 like we did last night but I doubt it tonight as he's not fed well but is just very awake. Grrrrrrr. Why do they do this to us?!
No snacks up here tonight if he gets up again may have to potter down and get something. We had curry for tea and you may think this is foul but I love cold curry 
!

Evening all. Not entirely sure about cold curry !! Gutted that we don't have any left over cold roasties - they are soooooo good!
Baby buttons first fed after going down at 7;45.... He's been doing this for about a week now - ever since he moved into his own room!!

Crap - transfer fail & by sounds of it very awake in cot, cannot bear another 2 hour middle of night party courtesy of DS and DD just woke up screaming for second time so no DH in here & he looked knackered to be fair!

mrsn think it feels worse when you've had a run of good nights. Still up here but he's still in cot not screaming just talking/fussing. Wondering if he's getting too much daytime sleep but if I wake him up he's so crabby ! How much is your DS sleeping in day? X

Lordy we are many of us on here tonight!
I have put a few blankets under babyfunch's mattress to elevate her head as if it is reflux that seems to be the done thing...think people here suggested it but she seemed better around then so I never tried it. If that doesn't work I will try getting her to sleep in her bouncy chair instead of the crib til we can get to the doctor.
I haven't tried cold curry (i never leave any!) but lurve cold pizza with salad cream
I have no snacks handy but might go get some after this feed as I am starving!
Think DM may be on duty in the morning, thank God she is here ad I have had hardly any sleep tonight....good luck for remaining transfer attempts everyone!
