Thanks amey will try califig syrup tomorrow if I can get some.
Yes mrs n I have seen them! Mmmmmmmm! Yum!

abi2790 · 21/03/2013 02:48

Now I feel like eating a creme egg!

First feed here. That's around five hours he did tonight which is better than his usual 3-4 so I'm happy Smile

abi2790 · 21/03/2013 03:24

Aarrgghh transfer fail... Time to try again!

Babybeesmama · 21/03/2013 04:04

Mrsn those brownies look amazing! I saw nadia sawalha on daytime tv making these rhubarb & custard cakes yesterday, she froze low fat custard in ice cube trays, made cake mix with rhubarb in put frozen custard in middle then crumble on top then baked, hmm hmm the custard was all warm n runny in middle! I want to make them!

Baby bee was total monkey at 11 tonight, he fell asleep instantly in my arms but screamed Everytime I put him down :( so strange that this only happens after 11 at night, its like he knows I'm more likely to co sleep! I think CC is going to be only way to stop him waking every 2 hours wanting me. Its going to be hard to do Confused, not quite ready yet even tho knackered! X

larlemucker · 21/03/2013 04:11

Third feed here, I'm knackered. Our nights are definitely getting worse not better Hmm
Thought he was a bit cold and that's why he was waking so much but he has an extra t shirt on under his gro bag and he has been no different. Don't think it helps that my friends little girl is 4 days younger than DS and has been sleeping through for over a week. Infact they had to wake her up last week as she slept 9.30-8!!!Shock

Susieloo · 21/03/2013 05:24

Not getting up not getting up not getting up not getting up

SoYo · 21/03/2013 05:26

Can anyone with matchstics propping open eyes & a packet of choccie digestives on hand (I'm willing to share) join in here?

MiniYo is 3 weeks & the last week has realised she wasn't quite feeding for long enough & now likes a good 90 minute session! 3rd feed of the night here & I'm zombie-woman with falling off nips. It's a good job she's cute!

Susieloo · 21/03/2013 05:40

We are up-bollocks!!

larlemucker · 21/03/2013 05:59

Welcome soyo

Fourth feed, so fed up, haven't slept for longer than an hour at a time. This can't be normal Hmm

Susieloo · 21/03/2013 06:51

Welcome soyo

abi2790 · 21/03/2013 06:56

Well I didn't get a lie in :(

Babybeesmama · 21/03/2013 07:40

Oh nooo susie! There should only be one 5 o clock in one day!

Welcome soyo! Share your tiredness pain!

Don't know why but I feel like talking about food all the time Blush sorry I know we are all dieting!

There's another malteasers bunny in the kitchen... Its staring me out - AIBU to eat it as part of breakfast??? X

MrsNPattz · 21/03/2013 07:52

Amey I saw the Rhubarb custard cakes too I love a bit of Alan Titchmarsh - they did look yum but I maybe wouldn't use Rhubarb!

I was up before little man this morning as hubby woke me up before he left for work to get ready to leave at 8:15 for my appointment. Woken up to loads more snow grrrrr

Welcome Soyo! Congratulations on your new baby

Smallgreenone · 21/03/2013 08:08

Hi soyo and welcome.
Baby small has finally poo'd but still wouldn't drink this mornings milk. Am going to wait until he wakes up from morning nap to have breakfast with him to see if it helps his eating. I'll wake him at 9 which means I have 50mins to get some more zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's in! I hate the 5.30 get ups!

GoatBongosAnonymous · 21/03/2013 08:27

To all 5:30 risers. Shall we stick all babies in a room together and make them entertain each other, and we can return gently to Land of Nod? Hmm

Hello soyo and thanks for digestives!

Horrible night yet again. Couldn't get an appointment with gp till Monday but pleeeeeeeeeze will get some sleep before then.

Babybeesmama · 21/03/2013 09:11

The last malteasers bunny is gone Shock it made a nice breakfast & helped with the tiredness! X

Smallgreenone · 21/03/2013 11:22

I love malteasers!
Yes goat let's stick them all in a room together - a sound proof one and go back to bed what a great idea!
I can't buy califig stuff here will have to order online

larlemucker · 21/03/2013 12:34

Right urine sample done and down the Drs. His nappy was a little discoloured again this morn so they want to dip to double check its not blood.
Definitely like the idea of sticking them all in a room together after last night!! Up every bloody hour Hmm

MrsNPattz · 21/03/2013 14:30

I'm really worried about little man - he hasn't eaten for nearly 7 hours. I fed him before we left for my appointment at about 7:45, was at the hospital for 3 hours, got to my friends at 12:15 offered him a few times while we were and he just kept turning his head away. He seems fine in himself, no temp. He's sleeping now. I really hope he takes some when he wakes up Blush

MrsNPattz · 21/03/2013 16:33

He has had two feeds since my post Smile

EeyoresGloomyPlace · 21/03/2013 16:46

That's a relief mrsn :) They do like to keep us on our toes don't they!

My tooth is killing me today :( after the dentist yesterday I stupidly expected it to be all better but its worse than ever :( On the up side at least I might lose some weight seeing as I can't actually eat anything!

EeyoresGloomyPlace · 21/03/2013 16:48

Forgot to say welcome soyo congrats on your new dd. All welcome here especially with chocolate biscuits!

ratbagcatbag · 21/03/2013 18:08

Hello all

Marking place as now have dd who is one week old today, I have no idea what I'm doing, but will make it up as I go along. I'm bottle feeding and breast feeding just didn't work :( despite staying in hospital an extra night to try and resolve.

Anyway, I expect I'll see you around 1am and 3:30am and maybe 6am too.

EeyoresGloomyPlace · 21/03/2013 18:17

Welcome ratbag (feels rude calling you that!) and many congratulations on your little dd.

On bedtime feed now, had to come up early as she refused to nap all afternoon and got screamingly tired by 5, it was all I could do to eek it out until now. Slimming club tonight, ate lots of chocolate today though so might not be too great.

How was everyone's day today?

Heff xx

abi2790 · 21/03/2013 18:25

I am soooo tired! Ds woke up really early and wouldn't go back to sleep. By time he did go back to sleep I had an appointment to go Sad he's refused to nap for more than 30 mins all day so I haven't managed to get any sleep myself Sad. I'm just hoping he'll have an early night!
