Got a lovely b'day card from 'the boys' so all is forgiven and I'd agree with the 'perfect' comment - we will look back on this time and remember the cuddles with affection and forget the sleeplessness and bags under outr bags!

Poor you - that's a bit rough

We are knee deep in an extension ....for 10 weeks! Absolute chaos - I hid in the Trafford Centre yesterday - no gas today - not sure I've got the strength!

Adding two bedrooms and extending the morning room - they have to demolish garage first and rebuild it to take the weight so the mess is just horrific - ds1 keep shouting 'MESS' whenever he sees a builder! At least it is entertaining him as he was watching the cement lorry for about half and hour this mroning - thankfully he is in nursery tomorrow!

Getting stressed about the builders so slipping into a coma when going to bed - as a result I've ignored ds2 a couple of times and he has given up and gone back to sleep - result!! Still only doing 3/4 hours max though. Cute smiles and giggles get me through.

Need rroms to accomodate very welcome visits from family helpers! Ironically I still want the boys to share a room as they grow up!

H i cant find the thread all about your rowdies and the great chase - what happened in the end?

All quiet now - dh gave chase but only to see where they lived. Friday again so the drunks will be out in force - there is loads of building stuff for them to play with so I let the rottweiler out and see what happens...

7pm till 2am - i got to watch bb4!

Hughsie, just seen your post about ignoring ds2...made me chuckle as I did this with ds a couple of nights ago, he woke up at 2 am, having previously gone from 11 pm - 4/5 am, so I let him try and settle himself back off which thankfully he did, either that or I went back to sleep and didn't hear him......guilt.

I put ear plugs in!!

melly and Hughsie - how is the sleep going?
Mine is still not going through seems to be 7 ish to 2 and then awake just after 5 napping with me

Plesae H tell me you have got it!!

Hi Codswallop, my ds is getting pretty good (touching wood frantically!). He goes from 7 pm until about 10.30 pm when I wake him for a feed, then from just after 11 pm until anything between 5 am/7am. He did go 11 pm - 7 am last week one day but then slipped back to going until about 5.30 am but still pretty good. I do find the late evening feed a pain but if he starts to go regularly from 11 - 7 I think I can happily live with that for a while until he drops that late feed.

hes only little though? thats good.
we have had a party here today and Charles is still raring to play! Dh currently out touring with him in the car!

hughsie are you asleep? havent posted for ages

Hello

Escaped to my parents for a week to avoid builders - come back to great progress so very excited!
Have had mixed sleep experience in the travel cot - 9 hours the first night!!!!!! now he seems settled on 9pm - 3/4am then back off until 6/7am - vast improvement but may introduce a spoon of baby rice today as he is in his 16th week!

hoorah you are back, c did 12 hours the other night!!

the merits of early weaning!!

Maybe he would have done that anyway codswallop Just a word of caution - early weaning can cause other problems that are longer lasting than sleepless nights. However - don't want to put a spoke in your wheel. As long as you feel happy.

When did you start weaning? Do you really think it is that that helped? Has it stayed good since weaning?
Mine did 9 hours one night and we actually did try one spoon of baby rice today but he was quite unsettled this wevening so I've decided he isn't ready.

thanlks mears for your concern. Only one meal of baby rice at the mo and we have no allergies in our family.
Will stay like that for a few months yet

hey Hughsie - have the buiders gone yet?
