wave to cupcake bit early to be awake aint it? 
hope J feels better soon, forgot to say 
at how big he is...he would look twice the size of Dolly already! She is still only 14.2lb 
Hello all, sorry to be a little awol, i have had a crap week, although compared to some of you i have no need to moan 
I just dont feel like 'me' tbh if i took the post natal depression quiz it would come back as me having a late form of it but then again im sure most mums would answer the same as me if for 8 months and 4 days the longest amount of sleep in one go was only 5 hours...
Dh and i have been bickering, i resent the way he cant comfort d, or put her to bed, or feed her etc etc. He feels terrible for not being able to do it but i just cant help the way im feeling 
It winds me up when he says 'we'...i want to scream at him its not we, its just me!
I feel i have no time for me or us, i just want to sleep when she sleep, i look crap...i cant lose weight and im worried about this mri scan (still no date though) so last night i had a mini melt down and ended up going for a walk in the dark, before getting scared and returning to the kids park behind my house and sitting on the swing crying
I needed too, cos today i feel better Its a new day and another chance to get things moving...onwards and upwards fellow weebles!!!
Ps ignore all of above
Right back to business...
bq we are all here holding you upright if your knees begin to shake.. we all know the fear of the dreaded scan room, we all have fingers, toes, legs, arms and everything else crossed that you will soon learn to love the scan room and look forward to seeing your wonderful creation...please get back to us as soon as you can or text so we can update.
louey still happy for you my lovely, your holiday sounds like just the thing you needed, hope the school stuff isnt stressing you out too much now you are back though.
q&a lovely to have you back sorry to hear about your impending edd, its hard when you feel like you havent moved forward in anyway. My edd passed and like you i was no more closer to getting pregnant and it hurt like hell, at least a bump would of been some comfort. Thinking of you.
Hope you arent too worked up about your impending hospital test? Im worried about mine but then ive never been good with hospitals
4ever lovely lovely pics, S is sooooo gorgeous and you my fellow weeble aint bad either 
I know its a bit late but dolly lost a little hair, not so much due to sleeping on her front, i just put a tiny clip in to distract from the broken bits and now its mega long and thickening up nicely.
Re food, my gp said to try food no later than mid day, this way if a reaction occurs it will be during waking hours and will be easier to sort out (and the doctors will be open still) also gives it time to digest before they go to bed. Sounds like you have it sorted now though
jools how are you? mermaid and 4ever are spot on the money and have said whatever i was thinking. Hugs for you my gorgeous lady....
mermaid how do you feel with a greenhouse full of sitting lodgers
neeko boy oh boy is that book full of useful stuff! I was aiming to get another one called no cry sleep solutions but skimmed read it in the shop and it didnt look very helpful, so i ended up with the same book as you. After waking every 45 mins last night 4 times in a row we let her cry it out (bad parent) and 27 mins later she was asleep i think us going in each time was disturbing her more so i sadly think this is the only way to go...oh and she was in bed at 5.15pm and didnt leave the bed until 6.24am this morning, except for the feed at 2 and 5.15am. Fingers crossed for us both!
sabs Hello, sorry work is tiring you out a bit, im sure things will settle soon and you will be in your new routine before you know it. As for the weight you have my sympathies, im the same...stick in a never ending rut of eating crap due to being too tired to eat propably and then feeling even more tired due to eating crap!
I have one question if you dont mind answering, the mosque which is a stones throw away from the villa is getting louder and louder...is it true that they dont have to broadcast the whole service (except on fri) and they only have to call to prayer...the 5.10am goes on for forever and wakes lo up...im sure the dude thinks he is auditioning for the x factor, he tries all different notes and tempo's each morning
lbm how cute is mouse i love it! hope she is feeling better now...how is the work thing going? Is she doing ok in nursery?
blue whenever i read your post they give me hope, its nice knowing that one day dh and i might just be sorted out enough to have a few hours to ourselves and have a brief reminder of our old life (not that i would change it or course) i cant wait to getting giggly drunk and to dance like a loon. So what are the plans/themes for this amazing first birthday? We are already planning D's...should be nice enough to have a mega bbq, fill the huge garden with toys, sandpit, paddling pool and lots of other fun stuff and let the adults eat, drink and be merry while the little darlings run riot have fun!
vjay how is the doggy settling in? I so need to tell you all about the dog whisperer but just havent got the time, i will though, soon.
buddha being the sleep guru that i am, i recommend that you.....ha ha, who the hell am i kidding, i know nothing! buy the book though, things start to make sense and its kind of like having a professional giving you the go ahead to try different things.
As for Clarks shoes, did i tell you i used to work there when i was 15? The kids department always ended up smelling of poo by the end of the day, guaranteed there would always be some scummy kid who would shit themselves 
once a little boy escaped and pooed in the lift! Thankgod i worked on adults
Took D to get measured yesterday, no shoes fit her her feet are too dainty.
Ive missed people and im sorry but crying baby awakes...
speak soon x
