Greetings ratbag we are all making it up!!

Had to trundle Kid off in his snazzy new pram to get him to sleep this afternoon. But it worked! For all of about 35 mins. Well he is asleep in his cot now so fingers crossed that I actually get some sleep too tonight unlike the last five

heff which shoes did you buy? (The correct answer is of course both...)

Shoes, shoes, someone mentioned shoes??

With heels, mrsn !

Hurray!

Wooo bedtime for me :)

Love shoes, DH keeps saying that I don't need anymore. They don't understand do they!!

Tonight could be fun, baby larle has hardly napped all day.

Welcome and congrats to all the newbies

Don't need any more shoes, larle ?

That's like saying you don't need to breathe any more!

Who's got new shoes?!
Welcome ratbag my friend has a one week old dd too, are you she?!
Baby small actually chewed and swallowed some chicken today so am hoping this is the start of him actually eating........
Doubt one piece of chicken will be enough to stop him waking up tonight though but I can dream.

Particularly impressed by the mention of heels

Picked up my new uniforms today too. Sadly they're a size bigger, but they'll be roomy once I lose the weight

Have had my hair done today though. DH cancelled a meeting so I could go on my own and get it coloured too

Missmarbles sleeping soundly thus far. Have the formula at the ready

Hello Ratbag and SoYo

Ouch Heff Hope you're tooth doesn't keep you up, and you can eat something.

Hope we all have good nights and see you all not earlier than 7am

MiniYo got feed timings all wrong and had her 8.30pm formula feed (to give the poor abused nipples a break) at 7pm, now snoozing in bouncer so I'm in bed & I've left her with DH & another feed (half formula, half expressed) while I get a couple of solid hours in before waking up to screaming Bubba, stressed hubby & solid boobs!

On the plus side have restocked & have dark choc digestives & maltesers by the bed to share with the collective for the overnight munchies! Put your orders in now ladies!

Welcome ratbag! Yes, we are all muddling through!!

Bedtime for little man here, I will be joining him soon after a cuddle from hubby (yes just a cuddle )

Am I a horrible mum for saying I'm not really looking forward to the toddler stage?? I'm sure I will enjoy it once if arrives, but I can't help but dread it slightly

soyo dark chocolate digestives are my fav! How did you know?!!!!
Can't buy them anymore though as I eat the whole packet dunking them in a brew. Oh god, mouth watering at the thought!!

goat exactly!!! Shoes are so important especially when you have big horrid feet like me
Going to a 40th bday party on sat with the wee man and going to wear heels if they still fit!!

Here's hoping for a better night than last night (think baby larle is just waking up, typical!)

Sleepy dust everyone

Hi everyone, welcome rat bag and soyo, fab to say hi to some new ladies!

Larle I am doing fine with 6:30am and pm feeds, supply is keeping up well and babyfunch seems happy enough. She is still sleeping erratically but a couple of nights ago we had another good one.

Trying to ignore talk of chocolate! Have had takeaway deep pan pizza and daddyfunch's homemade bread and butter pudding so am not allowed anything else naughty!! Never mind uniforms one size bigger! And last night a chap I met at a meeting asked if I was expecting GRRRR!

Did you punch him funch? I would have!!! Seriously do men people not realise that you NEVER ask a woman that!!!!

Larle is right, Funch! He definitely deserved a bloodied nose on your behalf!!!

First feed here and woke up not feeling too good :( I definitely need lots more sleep!

I got the black & white ones goat although have notices they're now 20% off online so considering returning them and buying both pairs online...I'm justifying it by the saving and the general prettiness of the shoes... these ones if anyone wants to see. But also probably these too for work, I need nice shoes for work or I can't possibly go back...

Had a lovely evening tonight, popped to get weighed and lost 1lb despite the chocolate, then we played charades with DM, DSis and DSis's bf which was a good laugh because I won
Babylump has been good do far, first feed now since bedtime so hoping for some reasonable sleep tonight.

Oh wow funch that is so rude what did you say to him?

First feed, very sleepy!

Heff they are gorgeous, you definitely need both of them!!

Thanks for the lovely welcome, first feed done but only took a couple of ounces so expect ill be back within an hour.

Tell you what I've noticed, this bloody 18 degrees lark for mini cat bag means I'm sodding freezing, 18!!!! At least what well save on heating will go towards her childcare.
small I can't think of anyone I know who would also be on this board who's my friend, but I'm in the midlands if that helps narrow it down.

Finally, anyone got the snow yet? It looks like most areas will get something of it :(

DH did well! Bit of formula at 10.30pm & he's just brought me the screamy one now. Last weeks concerns that giving a bottle would interrupt BFing didn't take into account her Dyson-like tendencies...I swear she can attach to a boob within milliseconds from a metre away.

Larle without a cuppa which I'm far too lazy to get out of bed to make overnight the digestives are much slower eating, you actually have to chew them & surely that takes calories in itself .

8 million transfer fails

Funch - I would of had to lamp him!

Welcome ratbag!

We've had our usual 2 hourly wakings but have been consistent at keeping him in cot, me & DH taking it in turns to sit by cot with hand on him till he's asleep. He's just had total screaming fit & after not being hungry originally is now downing a bottle. I'm so tired, its taking me all my might to not co sleep..... Stingy stingy eyes, I'm not sure how we have done this for 6 months.... Its a good job he's so cute x

Ps heff - jealous of shoes, like every other part of me my feet are exceptionally wide I have to get special shoes!! Its the only size 8 ill ever be tho - my feet!

Second feed - I could have predicted it!

We had snow yesterday, but by afternoon it was mostly gone. Hoping we don't wake up to more!

hello again everyone

Second feed here. I still feel sooo tired we have baby massage in the morning but if I still feel like this then I don't know if I'll be able to find the strength to go

abi hope you get some sleep and make it to baby massage, its fab. Baby larle loved it, he was 2 weeks old when he first went.

heff both shoes are fab and I want them are they comfy?

amey I'm also a size 8, it's a bugger having big feet. Evans and new look to wide fittings, have you tried those?

Baby larle has just woken for first feed (and on second boob!!!) he has been asleep for 4 hours, bliss!!!
