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

Hi all - special hi to Sassy Good to hear all is well!
Had a lovely few days away at cousins wedding (albeit with my mother and not DH) Great fun, lots of dancing, jumping around like a loon and vodka! Missed my little lady tho. Long drive home today but stopped to give my poor head a break eat lunch and bought two lovely tops and a jacket, socks and chocs for the boys and a few lovely outfits for Phoebe. Its my first time really shopping for her! Got home and the boys came running out to me and I was kissing and chatting to them as I headed to the sitting room when Phoebe heard my voice and started bawling! I went straight over to her and she just beamed up and started flailing and bouncing her legs in total excitement! I actually nearly cried - I got really giddy and emotional. She was so excited to see me. When I picked her up she just nuzzled me and threw her head back to check it was me again! Lovely - Im still beaming thinking of it!

Sorry wont be able to make the meet up - those of you going!

Saoirse I think Orlaith is fine as long as she is taking between 20-30oz a day and food. DS2 used to go between bouts of constipation and loose poos. He still would suffer from constipation on off despite drinking loads.

Blooming heck, DH and I just got into bed and shut our eyes and Arlo embarked on a huge pooing session. Then obviously wants a feed straight away even though he'd normally sleep for another 5 hours at least without one. And we have guests so he's woken them up crying through his change too! Hopefully will actually get to sleep at some point tonight...

Arlo 18 + 6

And now he won't go back to sleep...Argh!

I wondered that myself friggFRIGG

Sounds lovely MammyG, the wedding and reunion with dc

Hope everyone had a good night, Luke was only up at 10 and 3 but ds1 was up and stayed up at 6.45 so no Sunday morning lay in for me!

Have started a thread here to sort out final arrangements about meet up with out clogging up the tread for those not coming. Hope that's ok with everyone would be nice to be able to book tickets and arrange meeting on the way if we need to. Have a lovely lazy Sunday x

i just ordered too lovely nursing/slinging/anyone who wants to stop getting pinched,scratched,hair pulled by baby necklaces !!
ive been looking everywhere an ive finally found some that are cheap,strong,and beautiful!i can link if anyones interested!

they were on ETSY....whitch is great, but now i want everything on the website!

FriggFrigg, are those necklaces that you wear? I always assumed that's what teething necklaces were - ones for the baby to grab on to, that you yourself wear - but at a gathering recently someone had a (slightly older) baby who was wearing a necklace and said that it was a teething necklace to soothe them...

okay so teething necklaces are for the baby to wear,and nursing necklaces are fo you to wear.

nursing necklaces are for the baby to grab and play with (the one i bought arlo can also chew on,not all are suitable for this) instead off grabbing at you !

teething necklaces are supposed to have healing properties within the stone/gem,and are not for babys to chew,they just wear them,and it's supposed to alleviate symptoms of teething. a friend had one for her lo,shes not at all woo and she said it really helped,ive never used one though.

Found this one friggFRIGG. Never bothered with ds1 as he used to knead me but it was never painful. Luke has started to pinch and scratch me so I had been thinking about it. Never heard of a teething necklace though!

Attempted swimming again today and I'm pleased to say there was no poo, we staying for 45mins and like loved it

Ah, clear now, thanks. I already have several sturdy necklaces though I don't bother wearing them very often - might dig them out again though as she does grab at my neck & hair!

Hmm on the soothing properties of teething necklaces - but then it's known that placebos even work on children and pets... !

Warning tmi! poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo!!! Count them! Thats 10! Thats how many Ollys done today. Starting at 2.30am 5 by 6.30am! Seriously surely he can't keep pooing, there's nothing left.

He's also cut down his bedtime bottle. he only had 3oz lastnight & 2.5oz tonight! I'm shattered. Why won't he do what I want him to, drink the milk, eat the food & sleep through the piggin night! surely thats not an unreasonable request!

i got this one ...

Hi all, we went out last night and Grace stayed at her nana's. For some reason i thought it was a good idea to get absolutely wasted and have felt so rough all day. Got in at 2am and was up so many times being sick then i couldn't get back to sleep. We had such a good night though but i don't think we'll be doing it again for a while.

What is everyone doing for valentines day? think we're just going to get cards this year and leave it at that it seems a lot of effort to do anything else. How un romantic am i?

Grace is 5 months old tomorrow it's gone sooo quick.

Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend.

Sassy it's lovely to hear from you, glad you're all well

Luke is 5 months today newmum001, it is amazing how fast it's gone but at the same time feels like he's been here forever! We usually just get cards, we make more effort on our anniversary. Was quite tempted by the tesco Valentines meal for £15 this year but we didn't in the end.

Poor little Arlo - tonight he just wouldn't settle. Fed him 3 times, lots of walking round and shushing by me and DH, kept putting him down then he'd wake 10mins later crying. Went on for 2 hours until we took him out of his grobag and he was soaking wet! Poor boy. No wonder! Didn't bother checking as couldn't smell anything but must have leaked as soon as we put him down and he'd been trying to tell us for hours. Seems to be fast asleep now. :)

Oh bugger, I missed sassy :( Have had a v busy few days with friends visiting and Louis being a demanding little grumpus..

dixie poor wee thing - it's always so obvious after you've worked out what's wrong, isn't it?!

I've herd about these teething necklaces. They are meant to be really effective. Hard not to be a little though x x Worth a try I guess.

heard sorry.

Seriously, how many years of hints & blatant telling does it take????? I couldn't feel any more crap today! Yes we had a "romantic" meal on sat but it was my idea. I just give up.
I can't stop crying today. I just feel so unappreciated! If I want to do anything nice I always have to arrange it. I suprised him with a night away for his 30th. what did I get? A night in london to see a show. Arranged, booked, planned by me! I want to be spoilt, treated. My friend has cancelled our plans today cos her dh has sprung a day at ha spa on her! All I've got is dh working 12hrs (overtime he happily agreed to do) & 2 dcs to look after.
I'm fed up of having to do everything to please other people all the time & never having anyone do anything to please me.

Awww lumpy! I'm not a sentimental type myself so I'm more likely to be the sinner than the sinned-against in this sort of case, but I do feel for you. I would say, just tell him to sort something out, but it sounds like you've already done that?

i forgot it was even valentines day!

bannana im for you though,give him a kick up the arse! xxx

Oh banana I'm sorry you're feeling unappreciated. We appreciate you!

I always get fed up with DP for similar things. He seems to think throwing money at things is the way to my heart, then he complains we have no money I'd much rather he took me for a meal, or for a couple of drinks, or just for a walk. He doesn't seem to realise that it's him I want a relationship and not his wallet!

Stupid men!! Grrrrrr!

Are there other things he does that compensate in some way for his unappreciativeness? (probably not a word but who cares!)

My dh is pretty rubbish but a lot of the time he's worried about gettin it wrong so he does nothing! I really believe he's no just making an excuse I know I'm quite specific. We usually just get a card for valentines day as we splash out on our anniversary but this year he's bought me flowers and chocolates. The flowers are horrible and all I can think is what a waste of money . It annoys me that after 6 years together he has no idea what I like but if I say anything he gets upset and is less likely to do anything again. How many times can you walk around and say this is a nice bouquet and still get the most hideous bunc of flowers ever sold. So it's not jut you lumpybananapuree, dh isn't spontaneous in any way but I am my own worst enemy really. Are you sure he hasn't done something and the ot is just him hiding it? Perhaps he feels under a lot of pressure and so doesn't do anything? Sorry you're feeling rubbish :(
