Our new place to chat about our beautiful toddlers! Where have our babies gone???

[KLou111]

Another thread girls, can't believe we're here already!

Evening all.

No I haven't sken her to the docs, she's fine in the daytime, no sign of being poorly, and no nappy pulling since that night. It's just the night waking and crying, which to me sounds forced.

I went outfor a meal ith my friend last night, back at 11, she woke at half 1 and half 2. Both times just cried for sbit, I went in and shushed her, that's about it. So al least she's not staying awake too long no more!

So you two are planning to send yourselves completely crazy like me? Good for you!!! Do you both just want one more. Or are ŷou planning on just two? I remember ŷou klou said bout just having one more didn't you?

Ay plans for this weekend?

This weather just ruins everything. It's rained all day here. I took mum to downtown this morning, came home and made marble cake with lulu which I am trying my hardest not to eat any more! Just bathing the baby, then ironing and twilight part 2 for me :)

Going swimming tomorrow, lulu wants to. Going to a place with a few slides so that will keep her happy for a hours or so

Yeh she's over the moon klou. They love Joshua so much and are so good with him, they will be fab parents.
I had my inplant taken out 2nd November so not been on BC since then.
How did you enjoy your night last night?

Yep just one more for us liz if money was no object and I had a big house is like 3.
How was swimming? And did Violet sleep ok last night?

We went to our local lake today and let Joshua feed the ducks then went for pub lunch after, had a lovely day. :)

Yey swimming was lovely, both kids loved it, violet just doesn't care!

If you've not been on birth control iwish, what have you been doing?

Last night she woke crying, I shushed her for less than a min, put her back nd she went back to sleep. Looks like we're out of the phase, Yey!!!!!!!

Glad you had a nice day iwish.

Just 1 more here! Couldn't handle more than that, and we always said we'd have an even number (although we have non identical twins/triplets BOTH sides!) Robs cousin had a baby girl last year and she was one of a twin, but the other one died early on in pregnancy :(

Had a fab night last night, surprised I didn't start flaking til after 1am when I went to bed. Lovely lie in til 9.15 :) Although mum and dad wanted us back for 10 as they were off to London this morning (told me when they picked Euan up, think the disappointment in my face was very clear as I got a text 5 mins after they left and said they'd drop him off at 11!).
That's my brothers fault. Jeez, he has only just moved out in jan after living back with them since Euey was born, and they still run around after him. Dread to think how many times they've been down there in the last couple of months!
Anyway, had a bit of a bad head this morning but fab night. Missed our little man so much, and have has a lovely afternoon with him. He was up at 6am, and I think mum and dad noticed a huge change since the last time they had him overnight a few weeks ago.

It snowed here this morning, doing my frikkin nut in this weather!

He's just got up out of bed...........

No he hasn't, almighty bang was his head on the wall :-/ have put a stuffed toy there, poor fella

X post liz. So glad they love swimming! Think it's great for them.
And yey for being out of that waking phase.......send some luck here!!

Erm been using the withdrawal method around OV . But it's worked so far lol.
Woohoo bet you feel human today then liz! Hope her sleep gets even better.
Do you put armbands on Violet or do you just hold her?

Glad you had a good night klou and a good lie in too. Eek about the twins! And :( about robs cousin.

MIL sees a psychic and she told her that she would have 7 grandchildren. She currently has 4. So she is due to have 3 more. 3 of her current grandchildren are adopted/fostered by SIL and her DH and BIL and his OH. Psychic said that I would have a baby/babies this year. And out of the 3 grandchildren to come there will be a set of twins.
MIL informs us that there's twins in their family and my mum says there's twins in our family. Cue me shitting myself lol.

Bought Joshua a pillow today for his cot. Put his head on it tonight and when I went up to check on him earlier and he's not even on it lol

You're mental lol!
Omg for the twins! I read its only non identical that can be hereditory so that's why we're a bit

Lol about the pillow. Tbh Euan falls asleep on it and if he wakes in the night, he finds his way back up to it, but is currently lying across his bed face down lol

Lol I know, very naughty we are. And I've just found out 2 people I k ow got pregnant using the withdrawal method! .

I don't think he slept on his pillow at all last night. But when I went to him this morning he had got out if his sleeping bag??!!

How was both your days? I was at work, whoop Di doo lol

Work for me too, such fun. We have been abit stressed at work, we have had abit of trouble with health and safety, we have been trying to get the yard up to scratch with it and it's been abit of a long slog, plus we had a vosa man there this morning all morning checking over things, but everything now seems to be in place and we can all breathe a sigh of relief! It's been stressing me out!!

Glad you had a good night klou, where did you go? Your mum and dad are so good having him over night!

And yes iwish, you're slightly mental!! I do know a friend of mine does that spans she's fine with it. I don't think it's that much of a worry tho cause if you want more kids anyway it wouldn't be the end of the world if you did get caught. It's not like me where I don't want no more, ever. :)

I have booked today to take the kids to see Justin and friends at Sheffield. The mil is coming with us too. Lulu used to love mr tumble, not so much now, but she still does like some stuff that justing is in, and I think it will be young enough for the baby to like it. I'm looking forward to it.

Good day here despite being woken at 5.45 again! Took euan upstairs at 6 tonight to start settling him down a bit earlier, and he jumped into bed! Was flaking when I was reading to him, I left at 6.40. He slept 12.20-2 today too! I think the back molar bastards are coming as his nose has literally not stopped running for 2 days, thankfully he can now blow it!

Glad all good now liz, you must have been shitting yourselves for a bit. H&s people can be such wankers, too many bloody rules.
Justin sounds fun, I personally can't stand the bloke lol, but Euey seems to enjoy him

Yes mum and dad are very good having Euey. We're going to see priscilla Queen of the Desert on Saturday in Birmingham for the 2pm show. Robs sis in law was meant to be looking after Euey for the day at our house, with robs brother too. Anyway, his brother has been called away with work for a month this week, so called her today to check if still ok and she knew nothing about it!! Fucking men! Anyway, she has a p/t job in a restaurant (doesn't do anything else), and she may be working. This has been booked for months as far as we were concerned. I've text mum today, and not heard back, so not sure what to do! Robs mum and dad aren't here, also the dogs need sorting, hence Euey was being looked after here. I'll text again tomorrow just in case she didn't get my message, or I haven't got hers. It's my dads birthday today so don't want to disturb them tonight as they're out.

Just went to some friends house on saturday, was a great night.

Iwish, a couple we know used the withdrawal, thankfully she's never caught. They are in the process of splitting up and they haven't apparently slept together for over a year. They've got a nearly 8 year old so they were lucky, but yes I don't suppose it matters too much now if you did! I hope you catch quick!

Ahh klou what a bugger!!! Wat a dick, get onto it ASAP!!!! Wouldn't he stay with a friend? Do you have any friends who would have him?

I know what you mean about Justin, I used to like him, about 7years ago when he first came about, now I have had my fill!! He must be raking it in tho! Have you seen how many programmes he's in! Starring writing appearing in!

Iwish, the last two times we have been I have just held her. Last year we tried one of them sit in rings which she hated, and I think she's too small for arm bands just yet. So just hold her and bounce and swish and dunk :D I am going to try the sit in ring again next time tho, now she's abit older and seems to like it in the water whereas last year she didn't like it one bit.

4.15!!!!!!!!! We're getting worse arrrrrgh!! Although he woke coughing and decided to get up. It's that dark in his room he couldn't find the door so I got up as he was banging around, then wouldn't go back off!!
He's got a cold on his chest it now sounds.
When is this going to end, I neeeeeeeed sleeeeeeeep!!!

Think i'm going to try cutting his day sleep down, as it worked after 7-10 days when I cut his morning nap out but have got to persist with it.
Problem with me is I just expect miracles overnight lol.
Anythings worth a try!!!

Having to sell our tickets, so fucked off right now, won't be asking robs fucking brother or sil again!! Have asked round some odour friends and they're either away, out that afternoon, or out that evening/having people round so can't. So annoyed!!

*of our not odour!

Wat a shame. I bet you are so fucked off. I wish I lived closer and I would have him!!!

I can't understand people who don't follow through

We've got s sitter woohoo!

We've got some friends who live in the Isle of Man, and the wife is over this week til Monday, going to a show at the nec Friday, out for dinner with friends, and has asked if she can stay here Friday night, then be here for Euan and we can go earlier if we want. :-) so happy!!
Obviously not ideal, and have warned her about the early wake up maybe, and could have done without her really not staying, but hey ho. She's not staying Sat night as she will go see her parents when we get home.
So flaming happy!! Could've done with going out for something to eat after like we were planning originally, but anything will do!

Euey woke at 4.40 this morning, so tired.
Have given him 40 mins nap today, then 6.30 bedtime.
Been to docs just in case, couldn't see anything wrong so have got to take him to have some bloods, and take a urine sample, that'll be fun! Hope there's nothing wrong with our baby :-(

How's you both x

Omg I am so sick of this waking now. 3.25 this morning!!
We are all knackered, and I don't know what to do!
I've read give them less sleep, so I do and he's so shattered by bedtime he wakes early!
I put my earplugs in and he was crying for 2 hours! (I could till hear him just not as loud!)
Went in at 5.30, he jumped into bed and went off for an hour.
I just can't function. I've got a pounding head, I just don't know what to do!?!?!
I'm tempted to put him back in his cot just so he can't get up, but I don't think that'll stop him waking.
I just feel ill! Taking him to hospital today. Robs mum and dad meant to be having him, but I know he'll sleep in the car too much with them so he's not going.

Why are you going to hospital? For his blood tests?

If I was you, I would just leave him to cry it out. I know you said he cried for 2 hours, but if you keep going into him every 15-20 mins, just to reassure him, he might calm it down the next morning. It can't get no worse can it!!!

So glad you Re able to go to he show tho

Yes bloods at hospital, was very brave and very proud of him, just a bit of a scream. I got his urine too. Lots of little puddles, but when he finally did wee, I had a mug on hand and he found it very amusing filling a cup with wee (think it was the noise lol).

I only gave him 30 mins today, 1-1.30. I've read today to try and feed him some milk as soon as he wakes as apparently it's easier to crack them waking for food then waking early through habit of just waking. But I gave him milk at 6.30 and he wasn't interested. Worth a try though at 3.30 in the morning! Even if I have to sleep on his floor for a week like I did in 'the early days' lol.

Some mornings I've gone in and shushed him every 10/15 mins or so, but it hasn't worked, he just gets up and screams

You got to just persevere with it, he will learn. Is his clock not working any more?

Lulu went through this although she was about 3-4 ish, she would wake at. 4.30 ready for the day nd we used to let her stay in our bed seeing as she was already there, then put the telly on for her, really quiet.

Remember everything is just a phase.

And good job catching the wee!!!!! Well done!i. Would have never been able to do that!!

Hiya, no his clock is having no effect, i think he's a bit young to understand totally tbh.
I read on one of the other threads about feeding back to sleep (haven't fed in the night since 4 months old, so a bit bizarre feeding at 19 month old for me!)

Anyway, though worth a try when the little fella woke at 4 this morning!!

He did take some (in the pitch dark-I had to feel for his mouth lol!), but it was more about me being there.

He woke and cried, so I ran straight downstairs, heated some milk and was with him within 1.5 mins.
Anyway, put him to bed at 4.10 as had enough milk and he put his dummy back in.
Due to it being so dark, I couldn't see if he was awake or not, but he does not stop moving his hands or feet when he's awake so I could hear the rustling. I also put him back in his sleeping bag last night.
He stopped moving around 4.20, snuck out, straight up, damn!
After that he wouldn't lie down, so I lay with him. I tried to leave at 5, got up.
I thought that was it he was up. I must admit at this point I had a little cry, i am so exhausted!
Anyway, he lay back down (he heard me cry I think!), snuggled up with me, and by 5.30 was FAST asleep. He was motionless and his breathing changed, so I seized my opportunity and left.
Anyway, went back to bed and didn't hear from him again til 7.25!! And he woke happy; instead of crying, he was singing.

So, will try and push his nap to 1.30 from 1, now he's caught up a bit. In theory he only lost an hour last night (11 instead of the ideal 12), just need him to go all the way through!

I gave him less sleep yesterday (30 mins) as not sure if he's having too much in the day? He still needs something as he's knackered. We'll just have to see.

How's you both?

Hello all, sorry not been back for a while, I got suspended off MN for 3 weeks and I've been really busy with RL.

What a day I'm having! The washing machine has been going since about 1pm, Poppy keeps being sick no idea why. I've never had to deal with this before either, this is the first time she's ever been sick since she was about a week or so old!! She got a Funpod yesterday, my sister gave us it. Can't wait to use it!

Blimey Klou sounds like you're having a nightmare with Euan at the minute, you must be knackered! It's odd considering how well trained he was with his sleep.

A freind of mine slept on the bedroom floor for about a week, just to knock them out the habit of waking, might be worth a try? She put a mattress on the floor so it was fairly comfy and it just soothed her boy cause he knew his mummy was there.

I do hope it sorts itself out soon, it's awful not getting enough sleep.

Mel, whatever did you get banned for!!! I didn't know they even did that!

I got an appointment today for taking violet to have her lump looked at. Got to take her to kingsmill on the 15 th April.

Any nice plans for the weekend?

I'm going to meadowhall Sunday with my mate. No kids!!!, just think of the luxury of eating with two hands, and while it's hot, and not have to Shar it, and not tell people off for kicking the table, or climbing out he highchair!! Or spilling anything!!! Bliss
