Grin @ Hermya

Dd has found her feet!

Tysonandthehouseelves86 · 25/01/2011 19:40

Dds third jabs are thursday, cant wait till its over, last lot for a few months.
Lovely to see all the babies finding there feet and rolling. Sophie hasnt quite got there but not to worried as ds never did roll. :)

nymphadora · 25/01/2011 20:55

Tyson- I'm dreading starting jabs now after waiting so long. Think that's it til MMR though isn't it?

I'm a threadkiller all over tonight so if anyone knows about bottles, haven, Berwick upon tweed or baby sign hunt me out or at least bump me!!!

Tysonandthehouseelves86 · 25/01/2011 21:59

Will find and bump for you Nymph and yes i think that is it till mmr, got routine 8 month check but thats nothing :)

sam12 · 25/01/2011 22:02

Glad it's not just me with the disturbed sleep. I thought we'd turned a corner.
nymph I have just booked a haven holiday this afternoon.

nymphadora · 25/01/2011 22:34

Thanks for the bumps!

Sam12- what do yOu plan re cot & space?

NoHunIntended · 26/01/2011 00:06

Hey, All

Glad everyone is well. Am feeling great and things are lovely here - DS is a total night owl, so I just go with the flow - bed between two and four in the morning. Easy with one child to follow, more, I don't know! Feel very lucky, he is an easy, happy baby.

Bumped into the m/w who delivered my baby today, just out and about, she is ace, and cooed all over DS.

Haggis, neeps and tatties tonight, yummm. [bsmile]

nymphadora · 26/01/2011 07:52

Only uP once last night bit fed for 90 mins

LadyHermyaDeTamble · 26/01/2011 08:45

We were only up once with DS as well, I'm not counting it as a win though as he was given calpol to counteract the effects of his jabs yesterday.

Gosh I was thinking about the MMR yesterday actually and briefly remembered the controversy around it a few years back.

SeaShellsDreamingOfSummer · 26/01/2011 09:16

There was so much inthe press wasnt there! Ds had his though-I know someone who was nearly made infertile by adult mumps do not taking the chance!

Another shite night here-dd Ds and I went to bed at 7, fed dd at 11 for 40mins, Ds was awake from 1.30-3 talking to himself etc fed dd 3.30for half hour then again at 5and she fussed an chatted until6,30.

So glad I went to bed when I did!!

nymphadora · 26/01/2011 09:24

My two had measles despite the MMR & dd2 was quite ill. All jabs carry a risk but I feel those that are affected have a weakness the jab exploits. You just don't usually know it in advance. :(

Dh has strong view on MMR as he has worked with a lot of rubella & measles damaged kids

SeaShellsDreamingOfSummer · 26/01/2011 09:29

Bad science irresponsibly reported has done alot of harm.

nymphadora · 26/01/2011 10:09

A lot of those kids dh taught were pre report but people forget now how bad the diseases were

nymphadora · 26/01/2011 10:50

Still having bottle problems. Dd3 happy to take it but sees it as a toy. She plays with it & sees getting milk as a bonus

LadyHermyaDeTamble · 26/01/2011 17:08

I love my sling, it's brilliant. DS cries and I pop him in the sling and have a dance around the kitchen to Glee and he goes off a treat.

Katy Perry California Girls also works as well. I worry about that one Confused.

nymphadora · 26/01/2011 17:13

Dd3 likes that song too Hermya Grin

Fed all the way through baby group then picked up big girls & started again. Still on settee with breaks for poo explosions. I'm going to be a shrivelled husk soon

LadyHermyaDeTamble · 26/01/2011 17:15

Nymph Jeez sounds like she's on a mission to go up a clothes size doesn't she. Do you have enough biscuits and DVD's within reach of the sofa to get you through?

nymphadora · 26/01/2011 17:36

Watching property porn at the moment. Have a big bottle of pepsi to keep me awake & getting ready for tea. Rest will be back soon so they'll feed me. It's better she feeds now than all night.

Tysonandthehouseelves86 · 26/01/2011 21:10

Bit serious tbh BUT just found out that when i was about 3-5 yrs old my maternal Grandmother told my paternal Grandparents that I was not there sons child, which is bullshit. I am trying to get back in contact with them and it is abit difficult, maybe this is why!!!
Hope everyone is ok, Sophie giggled properly this evening which was lovely Grin

sam12 · 26/01/2011 21:23

nymph it says that there isn't enough room in the bedroom for a travel cot so I think we are going to take the Moses basket and see if we can make room for that if not we will probably put her in the other bedroom which is a bit of a faff
Tyson I hope you manage to sort things out. What a lie to tell!! There must be something in the air dd giggled for the first time today as well. Was so cute. Dh was upset he missed it.

floozietoozie · 26/01/2011 23:03

Hello all.

I have an hour left in my thirties.

OMFG.

Actually, I'm not bothered really. If I hadn't had dd though I would have been, I think. I've spent today thanking life for everything I do have as a new decade dawns. Wonder what it will bring?

floozietoozie · 26/01/2011 23:09

More sleep hopefully Grin.

Tysonandthehouseelves86 · 26/01/2011 23:47

floozie scared of sounding really thick but here goes
Happy 40th Birthday in 13 mins time. Have a great and perfect day x

ILoveGregoryHouse · 27/01/2011 01:16

Floozie welcome to the other side. Happy Birthday.

nymphadora · 27/01/2011 07:11

Happy birthday floozie :)
