hi hobnobs good to hear you've taught DS to ejoy shopping! :P
yorky great to see you and glad to hear DD slept through - hope she keeps it up! How's my gorgeous DGodS? And what are you doing back on the conception boards??

Yorky · 03/09/2009 22:22

Just stalking you!

DGodS still gorgeous, very chatty, he 'loves' everything atm which is great for my chef ego, 2yr old sits down saying things like "I love pasta/toast/yoghurt, Mummy"
Although he did try to chainsaw his sister's head this morning with the free toy from his Bob the Builder magazine!

Hiya toomuch nice to 'see' you again
I'll fill in the blanks as much as I can..
Ready had a baby girl in July - she's adorable an a real sweetie but had trouble with colic to start with and is now having trouble with sleep! Gilly has just done her second IVF which sadly didn't work - there's a whole thread about it (called 'trying to find gillydaffodil') Scorpio is due no4 on xmas day (or is it xmas eve?) LL is pg with twins after IVF and has moved to Switzerland (because of DH's job I think)
Anyway my dear how are you? Lovely to see you back (think I may be repeating myself but what the heck, it is lovely to see you!) There's not all that much news from me, I'm not really any further forward than where I was when you left off - we're waiting to see if the PCT here will fund more IVF for us or not, otherwise we'll be raiding the savings account to pay for a private go.

Hey Pumpkin - yeah the name was back from my pre-baby days... I struggle to get any time on the computer now - mainly because baby toomuch thinks my computer is a great toy and beats the living hell out of it!

Nomore - thanks for the update - great to be back!

{Toomuch grins and whistles as she's welcomed back into the fold}

Ready · 18/10/2009 19:24

Sleep is getting there... she napped for an hour this morning, and almost 3 yesterday afternoon - lunchtime and this afternoon she was back to her normal 30 minutes you-can-set-your-clock-by-me catnap - oh well, won't be long before she doesn't need an afternoon nap anyway - 12weeks have flown by already!

It is lovely to have toomuch back online

How is everyone doing? xx

toomuchtimeonline · 19/10/2009 20:48

Hey Ready your DD sounds like the same kind of imp as my DS he was a set your watch by him 30 mins man for a long time. I tried everything and read every book and nothing worked. He just grew out of it at about 5/6 months - sorry I know that's not much help.. just letting you know that it's not something your doing wrong . It was such a pain with DS as he really needed much more sleep than 30 mins so an hour after waking up he'd need another 30 min nap!! Nightmare - I spent 6 months with a constantly napping baby - it would be 5-8 times a day!! I was on cloud 9 when he took his first 2 hour nap - I could actually get something done!!

Anyway.. how is everyone? It's getting a bit cold and dark now isn't it... really feels like winter setting in

Ready · 20/10/2009 13:32

Toomuch, it does help actually, it is nice to hear that they can grow out of it. She's a funny thing, she occasionally will throw in the longer sleeps, and I rack my brain to remember what we did differently... nothing. Trouble with dd is that she wakes up after 30 mins yawning and is clearly needing more, but will go another 2-2.5 hours before another nap, which she spends 10mins moaning about as well - the girl just doesn't like sleeping in the day. Thankfully at night she is doing so well - fingers and toes crossed it lasts. Much easier to cope with short bursts of sleep and the grumpy grumps in the day than the night. How old is your DS now?

How is everyone?

toomuchtimeonline · 23/10/2009 11:02

Sounds just like DS - the yawning when he wakes up and clearly needing more - luckily he grew out of it eventually. Well done on the sleeping well at night though - that's the main battle isn't it

How is everyone? It's a lovely sunny day here today so feeling very positive about the day. Going to go for a walk and get some fresh air - it's been drizzly and grey all week before today..

toomuchtimeonline · 25/10/2009 20:32

Hello everyone - hope we all had a good weekend! What's everyone up to?

DS has his one year jabs tomorrow so not looking forward to that but hoping that the weather at least stays sunny like today

toomuchtimeonline · 01/11/2009 22:19

Tis very quiet on here.. everyone ok?

hobnobs · 01/11/2009 23:28

Hello toomuch. Keep meaning to post when pc or laptop as is faster than my phone. Will come back, honest!

Ready · 02/11/2009 19:00

How did the jabs go Toomuch?

Hi Hobnobs

I have decided to stop breastfeeding, the last few weeks have been awful, whenever I give dd expressed bottles she is so calm and relaxed, but with me it is a fight til she conks out with exhaustion. Won't be able to express for every feed, so formula beckons. Sad about it, but feel it is the right things for us.

Hi all, I'm still here though mostly lurking, sorry

Ready Sorry you're giving up the bfing but you have to do what's right for you and DD and it sounds like you're both happier with a bottle. Is she sleeping any better now?
Hobnobs how are you? Nice to see you back too
Toomuch Is DS really a year already? That doesn't seem possible!!

Well I have a bit of good news - we've got funding for 2 more IVF goes! So we'll be going again sometime in the new year I think.

Fantastic news...... Woooooohooooooooo

hobnobs · 08/11/2009 22:01

Hello again Sorry it's taken so long to come back. DS is going through a phase of not really sleeping much during the day (or at most a couple of 10-15 minute catnaps, though today has been slightly better) so it limits my free time, to say the least! Quick catch up before I fall asleep...

Nomore Fantastic news on the IVF. Two more goes. Am so pleased for you.

Ready Really sorry that you've had such a hard time breast-feeding but it sounds like you've made the right decision for you both. Hope things improve now and everything else is well with you and DD.

Toomuch A whole year! Hope that DS's jabs went ok.

Hello to Pureeandpearls (How many weeks are you?) and anyone else I've missed.

Well, DS is just over 6 months and continues to delight us. I've started solids but so far he's not been particularly impressed with purees (never seen such a look of disgust on this face!) though he is showing slightly more interest in finger foods, so may pursue this a bit more. We had a couple of weeks away recently and his night time sleeping pattern was a bit of a nightmare, waking every hour and a quarter at its worst and early in the morning , though it's improved a bit now that we're back home. Still needs some work though. Think I got more sleep 2 months ago. .
