Mrs N - you'll be great if you just be yourself. Be friendly and sound like you know what you're talking about. I've met a few WW leaders and the best ones are those who don't sound like they're better than you because they've already done it. Chuck in all the (sleep deprived) enthusiasm you can muster and you'll nail it!
LO is still asleep after 6pm feed and bath. I hope she wakes soon so I can feed her and get some well earned sleep (at least until 2am ish...)

mrsn just running in to say good luck for tomorrow! You will be great, you have inspired me just through this thread so in person you will be fab!

< staggers off again with apologies for not replying to other lovely posts>

Thanks so much guys really appreciate the support!

I spoke too soon about it being bed time as little man has just woken so am feeding again, I was wide awake anyway!

Abi hope you are feeling better! If you are worried go to the doc, but if little one seems fine I'm sure everything will be ok!

Hope you feel better soon abi

I'm having a little worry about DS, it's silly really but I don't really support his head anymore when picking him up (and haven't for a while) and worried that I might have damaged him! He is 14 weeks and has had quite a strong neck from early on.
I'm being silly aren't I?

Urates in nappy again today so we're going to go back to the dr next week.

Sleepy dust for everyone, here's hoping for a better night than last night!!

So much thread to catch up on!

Just popping on quickly to say good luck tomorrow mrsn you'll be great :)

Will try and catch up properly later on, in the mean time good sleeps all.

Good luck mrsn! Bb up for a feed here, I'd just nodded off :(!

We booked a holiday tonight :) my brother asked us to go to Crete with him & his family plus my parents! Go in 5 weeks! Can't wait! Although flying with 2 kids !

Am so hoping we get some rest after this bottle, I feel knackered & have both of them tomorrow! Need to buy them both new holiday clothes .

Larle hope LO ok! Yes I would think neck would be ok at 14 weeks.

Abi as others have said keep eating & drinking.

Goat - any sleep improvement?? X

Crete sounds lovely! Are you flying together? If so at least you'll have help on plane!

Baby larle up for another feed, I was just falling asleep I swear he waits for me to start dozing off

First feed.
So tired.

I know what you mean Larle - I swear she knows the moment I shut my eyes so she can start moaning. Quiet as a mouse when i'm wide awake.
I spoke too soon about getting to bed - have been feeding since 10.30 with no end in sight. I think I prefer the growth spurt she had at 3 weeks - at least that was only during daylight hours!

First feed here. This is the one where I try to feed her until she's glassy eyed & comatose & she prefers a transfer fail & then up agin at 3! One day I will prevail though!

First feed, only been asleep a couple of hours.

Thanks Amey and Heff! Amey oooo sounds lovely, one or two weeks?

Larle his neck will be fine

Thanks MrsN!

We're up again, at least he let me sleep for, wait for it.............

3 hours !!!!!

Second feed.
So 3or 4 hours rest but I feel horrific!
Wish she would feed from. Oth sides at each feed but almost always just one side.
Oh, that can't be it surely.

Second feed - been up since 3. Got 1 hour's sleep. Can't physically keep my eyes open. God - why is she wide awake? Plus she's screaming after a couple of minutes on her least favourite boob (even though it was perfectly acceptable earlier). DH is snoring in the other room and I have no option as I didn't express any yesterday. This is possibly the worst it's been - I can't think straight i'm so tired

anypants
It's so hard isn't it.
Babythorne still doesn't want to sleep but seems to be full, no now I'm just trying to avoid falling asleep with her in my arms.
Grim level of tiredness and feel the urge to slap my sleeping DH .

Also, I might have to splash out on new pump. My trusty hand pump (avent) keeps popping its valve.
(not expressing at night but it's on mymind now)

Gah. Would slap my DH too if I thought it would get me anywhere... I might have to resort to chocolate biscuits and coffee soon if I have to stay up much longer

Bastard birds are singing!
And ds will be up before long.
Aaarrghhhhhh! So desperate for sleep, my face hurts with tiredness!

We're up again for a feed.
Asked breast feeding counsellor if he should still be feeding this much overnight and she said yes and to sleep during day etc but I want a life!!

Feeding here too. She's been moaning for last hour so I've had a hand draped into Moses basket, shame I can't seem to fall asleep like that. When I woke up I kept thinking that as long as I can get through til 6.30/7 I can hand her over to DH, then I remember its Monday & he's off to work, boo.

Third feed.
Baby Thorne never settled after that last snack.
Oh god I'll be up in a minute.
Would love to nap in the day but not sure how that's possible with 2 under 3!

Second feed and really hope it's not up time!

Sorry there have been lots of bad nights, little monkeys!!

worst night for us for a while.
dream feed at 10.30, up at 1.30 & 5.00 then up at 7.00 brought him into our bed and he fell asleep again until 8.00. im finding it increasingly difficult to get back to sleep after night wakenings

DD up at 7.30 & peed all over herself and bathroom floor. she's almost 4 & toilet trained since 2!

sometimes i feel like i am living in a mad house...

Morning feed.
Thankfully dh has gotten up with ds.

Sorry those of you who are having shocking nights. Just think, in a few years this will be but a memory we can laugh about over a bottle a glass of

larle you haven't damaged your baby's neck.

Just said an emotional good bye to mum, she cried which she never does - not in front of us anyway. Feel sad but need to shake it off and put my confident, passionate, employable head on!
