September 2010 - meet-ups, pram addicts and the cutest babies in the world!

[Chelle1986]

Am taking the innitiative and doing the new thread! Bombs away...!

i think i might just do that tomorrow cinammon - will let you know how i get on too!

gonna go check on my little spinning boy now - i put him in his cot vertical - he'd done a 180 last time i checked!

night all!

Would u please stop talking about sweets and chocolate! My period must be on it's way as I'm in a foul mood with dh for no reason, have an outbreak of spots and seriously craving chocolate but have none in the house! Might have to get dressed in my pj's) and go and get some dairy milk x x

Aaaaaaaarrrgghh! Too late! Tesco is closed!! Booo. Off to bed!!! Hopefully I'll feel better in the morning!

chelle you put him in vertical... so now he's standing on his head?
Definitely get a door bouncer, Louis loves his.

I have a door bouncer. Had to take it down tho cos Toby seems to think its fun to spin & spin & spin poor olly & push him in it like a swing! You can have it Chelle!

Lovely tea out! Much better than jellybeans or chocolate raisins!!

aaah maple.... you no what i mean silly.....! banana - i'll text you! x

I want chocolate raisins please!!!!

Harlyn hasn't managed a 180 yet but does almost 90 (if the cot bed was wider i think he would go all the way around). He still isn't rolling so i guess when he figures that one out then all the fun will start.

cinnamon, I am skipping the bottle - just meant that Arlo's never had anything other than my boob to eat from! Actually tried giving him some water from a beaker today. He mainly just licked it, but will keep trying! I don't want to waste my precious expressed milk if he doesn't drink any of it but perhaps if there was milk in the beaker that'd be more enticing! Got a hen weekend to go to in a few weeks so need him to be able to be fed by DH before that.

Also graduated from the iCandy carrycot to buggy seat yesterday. My boy's growing up!

4 months tomorrow

Ds1 used to drown himself dixiebell, Luke just took to it straight away and he drinks really well from it!

Sorry JodeyNosePicker they are safely back in fridge and I was nicely sleeping! I'll stick you one in the post

Morning everyone, this thread moves soooooo fast.

Been missing you too friggFRIGG !!

Don't really know where the last few weeks have gone, I've just been in a haze of exhaustion, really wish Flynn would start to sleep better I would give anything for even 4 straight hours of sleep, I'm so so so tired and I feel bad for DD as I feel like I'm always saying "Mummy is tired, can we do that tomorrow..."

What kind of cup do you use cinnamon? We gave up on bottles a while back so are thinking of going straight to a cup but I'm not sure which would be easiest for a LO who has only had boob.. I bought a sippy cup (haven't tried it yet), but someone said that doidi (sp?) cups are really good . We really need to get Louis used to it as I'm supposed to be going back to work in April, arrgh, too soon...

jodey Louis isn't quite rolling yet (despite his one early success before Christmas [simle]) but he still managed a 180 in his cot a couple of weeks ago. I put him down after 1 night feed and there was quite a bit of rustling and legs banging on the mattress, and when I went to get him for the next feed he was the other way around - v confusing at 4 in the morning. He's much longer than the cot is wide so he must have spent a good while with his legs in the air

Nice doing business with you banana!!! xxx

cinnamon I'm here (and was a couple of days ago).
Does this mean you all want me to book 24th feb at the pub? Then we need to decide if we want food, if so what type etc etc. I'll find out how much he'll charge for things and let you know. That's if you all want me to book it.

The thing I think about the study/reports etc is that it shows there should surely be some kind of responsibility on the part of the media as to how they report things. It wasn't just misleading reports in most papers, it was outright wrong.
My cousin had a baby at 27 weeks. Beforehand she'd decided not to try bf, but the MW's talked her into expressing after he was born as he was in serious need of all the help he could get. When I saw her the other day she was saying she was annoyed at the MW's for asking her to do it because she could have harmed him now!!!

cinnamon you should definitely complain about that woman. I help run a youth group and we never give a child anything without knowing their allergies and knowing what their parents wishes are. We wouldn't even give fruit without permission, I have a friend who's allergic to apple and cherries!

Whoever asked how I know Orlaith's not drinking enough, I was at the doctors the other day and he said she's a little dehydrated. He said he can tell because there wasn't much saliva in her mouth and her lips are dry. But she is settled between feeds.

I don't know what else I was going to say but go to go, PIL's will be here in 35 mins to get Orlaith and I'm still in my jim jams and haven't done any bottles.

Orlaith 19 weeks today

Oh dear! Why are my posts always so huge?! Sorry!!

It's official Luke has a pooing outfit!! Bear in mind that he only poo's every 4-10 days he always does a poo when he has this one outfit on. Plus it's an all in one so if it leaks it gets everywhere so I always think twice before I put it on!

I hate Doidy cups mapletrees! One of my minded children used to have one and they are a total pain in the bum. The idea is not to intefer with bf but once they get older they can use a beaker without doing that. They are a cup that has a handle and are on the wonk (technical term!), I used to have to take a bottle of drink with me to fill it up when out, she couldn't hold it herself so I had to do it for her and one child or other would almost always grab hold of it and knock it over, soaking everyone around! I just used the tommee tippee first beaker, it says 4m+ on it and is only just over a pound. Ds1 took a lot of practice but then used it for ages and Luke is already very good.

That's waht everyone who replied on the facebook group said saoirse86. Let us know the alternatives and we can decide what we prefer.

Took Luke in a ball pit for the first time today and he was not impressed!! Very funny though

Well Harlyn has only just dropped off for his first nap of the day! He wouldn't settle at 10am so i gave up at 11am and got him out of the cot to give him next bottle. I put him back down at 11:45 as he seemed tired and have been trying ever since! I finally had to get him out of his cot, put him in the bouncer chair, give him a bottle until he finally sparked out 10 mins ago!!! I feel like I've wasted a day just trying to get him to sleep!!!! Fingers crossed he'll have at least an hour (hopefully more).

A Poo suit! it's not also a Pooh suit is it? That would be v funny!

Why is it always the case that Jack sleeps better when it's his Daddy's turn to do the night shift?
He slept from 6.45pm to 6.50am!
I can guarantee tonight will not be a repeat especially as it's Friday and Mummy wants to drink wine whilst watching very hot rugby players on the BBC!

Happy Friday lovelies!

Hi all, love the 'pooh' suit comment Beady - DD also has many of those Cinnamon! Thanks to everyone for the comments about sleep/evenings, you've made me feel a lot better about just 'going with the flow' tho Daisy does seem to be getting more sleepy in the evenings - she's 14 weeks now and way more active in the day so I'll start gradually bringing her bath/bedtime earlier - honestly, I'm such a stresshead sometimes!

A pooh suit?? Beadit you need to get out more! Olly doesn't have a specific suit, just any new outfit, the 1st time he wears it he leaks!

You don't drink wine do you? we haven't got any in so its sloe gin for me tonight! Gonna pass on the rugby too! Its soap night!

Soap night !

I would make some comment about what a loser you are lumpy but DP and I love our friday night soaps, romantic or what!!

We're taking Louis swimming tomorrow. I am so looking forward to it . Just hope he likes it as much as I expect him to..

And chips for tea. Life is good.

Its a proper soap night for me Saoirse I was out last night so have got to catch up on those too!

at you going out. Did you have some ?

(I'm justed excited to use a new icon!)

On the bf/ff debate. I do think the media are responsible for the uproar really as the headings were entirely misleading and the reporting v slanted with little or no investigation but then again we should know better and research ourselves. That women would take that report on face value or not read it in depth is a little shocking. Its funny tho how we are our own worst enemies. be it ff/bf, career/sath, fat/thin, etc. So much argument and judgements from a sex that thrives on sisterhood at the same time! Men dont seem to give each other the same grief but then they dont seem to 'need' each other like we do. Meeting up with the gals and having a proper chinwag and other women empathising with me is what its all about for me maybe thats why we take it all so personally when we feel judged by women?? Its a funny one.
Doing a bit better here today - thanks for all the support lovely ladies. Just taking it easy for a while and hoping I come round out of this.
I have started weaning Phoebe and she lights up when the choo choo comes round. Even the boys rush out to see her face! Will have to puree like a nutter tomorrow tho to stock up for the week - here we go again!
jodey Got my period...Yipee!

The only soap I watch is Hollyoaks but by religiously at all. Have had a lovely hour and a bit at the hairdressers, have lots less hair, got a cup of tea I got to drink while it was still hot and had pizza for tea

It's not a pooh suit beaditAli but I do love it despite the poo issue! It's this and having just found it I've seen it's half price so might have to order on in 6-9 months!!
