Meh. Up every 15 mins since 22:50. Other than from 4:33 to 5:22.

I'm selling him.

Small and goat - our boys are in sync! Very unsettled night here too! Not even co sleeping helped. So tired! Maybe its teething round 2! X

We could sell them as a special deal three for the price of 1!

Ha ha or free to a good home!

Yes, cuteness factor tripled? Surely a winner!

Would four make it a more or less attractive offer?

Things didn't improve for us either, though you'd never know it from how smiley and giggly babybrain is first thing at 6am He surely must be exhausted since I am... I keep thinking I can feel a tooth though so hoping this doesn't go on too much longer - though they do come in pairs

small yes they do know when we are on our own, desperate for sleep and the instant we have just started to drop off. I am now convinced that babybrain's high pitched squeaking is actually a form of communication that can travel miles to other babies so they can coordinate night time activities. Yes.

brain that's it! Our babies were bats in a past life and have maintained the ability to communicate ultrasonically.

And yes, let's make it four - even numbers are much better!

Awake at twenty past 7 here but I couldn't drag myself out of bed until ten to 8! Baby group this morning then Tesco this afternoon to stock up on food for BLW!!

Lol at the idea of babies as bats previously!
I am not leaving the house today, too tired and we've got some bets on so want to see what's happening at Cheltenham! I'll let you know if I get a big win!!! I love Cheltenham, wonder if baby small will still be too tiny to take next year?! DH is there and is having far too much fun by all accounts!

Well we've decided short naps are fine today, apart from he's a grump!! I wish he would have longer at lunchtime! So frustrating!

Mil has bought homemade banofee pie over (had it before - lush) how am I going to resist??? X

We are still trying for the post lunch nap Grumpasaurus is in full flow.

amey we very rarely do short naps either and it's a pain when you've got things to do!! like clean my scummy bathroom

We've been to bumps and babes this morn and then out to walk the dog and visit his fab shop, the butchers!!

Sorry to hear kid is being grumpy goat

Am seriously tempted to tell MIL she can't look after baby larle until she has given up smoking but worried it might cause problems, just don't like him coming home smelling of smoke!

larle I would be absolutely with you about the smoking!! But then I am a rabid anti smoker a complete pain mainly because it really plays havoc with my asthma, really the only thing that does now.

We managed 30 mins napping! Calm is currently restored. Or what passes for calm in the Goat enclosure... tries to ignore hearty bouncing in jumperoo

You can do it Amey!! Or point it

Larle I wouldn't put up with that!

goat my grandad died of lung cancer after smoking for about 60 years. He was the generation where they gave you cigarettes as wages. He smoked for that long the Dr told him not to give up as he would probably have a heart attack.
My Dh used to smoke, after my grandad died I told him it was me or the fags, thankfully of course he picked me!!!

Well, babybrain has been trying to make up for last nights ridiculousness by wanting to eat and sleep for most of today. (Apart from the jumperoo session earlier. goat I babybrain shares kid's love of that thing. He gets quite hysterical in it.)

I'm hoping naively that it will mean a better night.

ARGH! He's just bitten me! One of these days he's going to draw blood! Ow ow ow. So painful. I'm now throbbing while he's shut his eyes and snuggled down!

On bed time feed here, very late as we popped to grandads to enjoy a Friday night bottle of bubbly DH playing with dd1 (although they should be going to bed!) and I'm just about to go down and start dinner.

larle I sympathise about the smoking. Pils both smoked, as does DH, but when we told mil we were expecting dd1 she was amazing and quit instantly so that she could babysit. We were very lucky though, and as DH still smokes I think mil deserves even more credit for her devotion! I think you'd be we'll within your rights so ask her to refrain from smoking while she's looking after baby larle.

Will try and catch up properly later, my tummy is telling me its dinner time now! xx

Sorry yes that was me logged on as DH yesterday. Should stick to using my phone! Very . with all these naughty babies. Maybe at easter I can send DH off for a rest and I will have them all round and give them The Look and talk to them in The Voice I use at work...

We had an ok night last night, but assuming it won't last!

Am off shopping tomorrow to buy clothes to fit how big I am and how old I feel...watch out end of sale bargains in Jaeger, Viyella etc!! Am going to dress like a 55 year old at work as they are the clothes that suit my figure these days and always have, just couldn't admit it before having a baby

God I'm knackered, PIL are lovely but I do feel like I've been running around after them all day - making lunch then dinner & endless cups of tea! Always make the error of trying to have dinner before kids in bed (we always eat at 730pm after kids in bed) so I ended up trying to sort babybee out & my tea went cold on table. And now I have a stack of washing up to do - bleugh. PIL still here but I shall be off to bed before long. Just put DD to bed & am ready to drop after a sneaky vodka & tonic .

Tried babybee with weetabix today - jeez - he inhaled it! Ate an entire one! I'm amazed at his food intake clearly takes after his mother where volumes concerned!

Sleepy dust all! X

I've run off to bed while dp does the first settling shift . So far babybrain transfered at 7.00, had a tiny 5 min resettle at 9.00 and all quiet again. Maybe he'll sleep through... Hahahahahahaha!

There's carrot and almond baked cheesecake for anyone that wants. A Paul Hollywood recipe, but with v low fat cream cheese and v low fat creme fraiche instead of double cream at dps request Still very rich! Quite tasty

funch please can I borrow The Look and The Voice?

amey babybrain loves wheetabix too. Raisen wheats soaked in milk are also a favourite.

Hope you all have good nights.

funch could you please bring The Look round here and employ it where babylump is concerned. The screeching is doing my head in!

amey if you've done all the cooking couldn't pils/DH wash up for you? Maybe funch needs to come and be stern at then for you Hope you get to put your feet up soon.

Just watched yesterday's Big Reunion, I'm such a sucker for it all, wish I was going to the live shows. Very of my friend who god tickets for valentines day.

Bedtime here, little man went down at about half 9 but woke up half an hour later. He took a feed and has fallen back to sleep.

Heff I am loving the big reunion - I really want Lee and Lyndsey to get back together!

Brain that cheesecake sounds sooooo good!!

l love raisin wheats too!! yum

Always happy to crack out the Look in civvy street heff and others, you just make a time...easter hols I am free! Not sure babies will quaver at my Ultimate Sanction of Detention though

I will be cryptic as I haven't the strength to post a long one.

Me=flu, dd1=flu, Stitch=bouncing bean last two nights now coming down with flu.

Bless my mum who drove 3 hours to get here today and help out.

stitch poor you. Hope your bean settles down and well done to your dm for helping out.
