July 2010:Our actions get dafter, all for the reward of giggles and laughter!

[kkfairybrains]

new thread! thanks once again to spireal for the name!

Oh I can't even manage capitals. Ffs!

I have had a couple of glasses of wine at lunch - wedding anniversary and all that.

Happy anniversary! And the answer is no...

:(

Just reading your earlier post about the veggies he had eaten. A friend of mine whose ds2 had silent reflux told me that she had to be really careful eating potato herself or feeding it to him as it seemed to really affect him and make him worse.

Potato seems such a bland, inoffensive food, seems hard to believe it has such an effect but apparently can be the case.

Can it be anything else? Teething etc?

(I'm meant to be tidying up our tip of a house in time for Christmas tomorrow, can you tell I'm avoiding it )

He is finally asleep. I never would have believed it of potato either. He is frantic with his hands in his mouth but there's nothing even bulging in his gums and over the course of the night he's had calpol x 2, calprofen, nelsons and teething gel. I find it hard to believe all of that wouldn't help if they're not even breaking through!

I want to go to bed but I know he'll wake up again.

I think you should at least try to get some rest. Maybe he'll surprise you and not wake up again

It's so shit when you just feel like there's not point sleeping cos you'll just get woken up again...

He didn't surprise me. He's back to crying and thrashing about on my knee.

I am beyond feeling sorry for him.

This is so hard for you.

Been offline cos dh went on the computer - how dare he . Hope you are asleep and recharging.

Nope

ok i have to stop saying "I hope you are asleep" as clearly i am jinxing you.

scuse typing have squirmy baby on knee.

well this is shit for you and no mistake. You MUST get a rest during the day today sometime - you can't surivve on no sleep at all (well, 2 hours or whatever). You'll get ill.

Last attempt at trying to put him down is about to commence. If this doesn't work I will just admit defeat.

Wish me luck :)

good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck good luck!

]grin] thanks.

Didn't work though.

even.

Trying to type in the darkm one-handed!

Well all I can say on your behalf is...fuckity fuck fuck fuck.

It's sort of got to the point now when even if he did go back to sleep you wouldn't get much before the rest of the family woke up anyway.

My worst nights with G were when she would wake up about 3 times, the last time at 4am, really refluxy. She would go back to sleep about 5 - 5.30 and then dd1 would trot into our room about 6am.

It was sheer bloody torture tbh and I ahve every sympathy with you for enduring so many nights like this.

Thanks wss. He's sleeping on me, I just can't put him down. Not even wrapped in my blanket for warmth/smell. It's twenty to six. There's no point going to bed anyway, even though I feel hungover and sick with lack of sleep (he's been up since 1.40)

mlic I can't say anything really to help but sorry you had an absolutely horrendous night. I really hope E behaves himself and your DH mucks in so you can get some rest. ANY chance you get make sure you get your head down. [hugs]

Thanks :) He had to be at work for 7.15 but he said he'll get back as quickly as he can so I can go have a sleep. Typically, W is in bed now.

HOpe you get a sleep at some point mliff.

We are just wrapping a tent in our living room...must take photos before dd1 rips all the wrapping paper off in the morning.

Having a wedding anniversary on Christmas Eve has its complications. Not only do you have to do all the Christmas prep stuff, you have to find time to get some sex in too...

Oh no what a horrible night for you mliff did you manage to get any sleep?

Im so excited about xmas! I dont really know why cos when we are actually round our relatives house, its always chaotic, too hot, too much food, someones miserable.

Dylan woke up a few times last night, Ive given up trying to get him in his cot, Ive given in to co-sleeping, god knows what Ill do when he starts rolling over. The cot is next to my side of the bed anyway so DP suggested pushing it right up as a sort of bed guard.

Going to brave it into town today, the snow/ice has melted which is a bonus, just praying its not gridlocked, although Im leaving at 10 so it shouldnt be that bad

whatshesaid x-post, I said to DP last night I really miss having sex in the morning and want to do it on xmas morning, but we're not sure what to do with Dylan lol.

I was watching the blizzard at 4.30 this morning, we got a fair bit overnight. No dh, up at 1.40 and not slept sine :( dh not home yet :(

Blizzard at 4.30 am sounds bad! NOt as bad as no sleep though.

Dh I miss morning sex too. No chance of that here. Managed it this evening (evening here) while drinking bubbles and watching a DVD and just prior to wrapping a tent! Wow, I'm good at multitasking.

Oh mlic you poor thing. That just sounds fucking crap. Really hope you manage to get some sleep at some stage today.
BA HUMBUG!!! So sick of all the crap thats going on. We have no water, no water in my home house, my best friend had a tip in her car, their bin went in fire, and then to top it off my parents and brother were supposed to be coming up today and now cant because of the roads :(. Mum rang in floods of tears wondering what was the point of christmas if she can't see us. Anyway i've had my rant now so i'll try and lighten up a bit. Startin work shortly so hope fully that will give me some spirit

Oh mlic that is awful :-(

Until your dh gets back, my prescription is: put a film on that will occupy E and see if you can put W down or let him sleep on you so you can at least rest on the sofa and eat chocolate!

Happy anniversary wss (for yesterday?!)

We had a terrible night with f too but at least got odd hours between one or other of them waking up.

Thinking again about potato - its in the nightshade family along with tomatoes and deadly nightshades so I suppose it isn't that innocous - its only cos we eat the roots rather than the leaves that it looks so bland. Funnily enough I've just remembered I think f used to react to potato in my bm but he's fine on it now.

Aww kk that's shit :(

Update: I gave him some more Nelsons. About 5 minutes later I was stood holding him in the kitchen (thank God, lino on the floor) and he threw and threw and threw up all over us both. He feels hot but his temp is only reading at 37C.

Ridiculously, I have got a second wind now. Boy I'm going to crash later aren't I?
