We both forgot it was Valentines Day til we woke up this morning Blush. So did nothing for it.

mlic sorry you've been so ill, it is shit being ill with small kids, hope you are better now.

chulita I like the drinking one, cos for me its true!

This thread is slow moving at the mo, Im glad though as its hard to catch up.

It was my niece's birthday yesterday and we had a party at my gran's house which was nice. We looked through old photos which were so funny!

Ive bought my wedding invitations and place name cards.
Its v exciting Grin

ah well wss. there's always next year when you'll be feeling a bit less like a milk-sodden, sleep-deprived mother (or that's what i keep telling myself lately!)

woke up SO cross this morning. A only woke once at 4am so she seems to be thru the awful growth spurt as you predicted chulita and F slept thru in his own bed all night. The annoying part was that I woke up at 6am , freezing cold with Aurelia laying on me because i'd fallen to sleep after her 4am feed. Then when i tried to put her in her crib she was shouting with wind pain (i think), woke up Felix in the other room, he came in and couldn't sleep because of her shouting so that was it, we were all up at 6am when it could have been so different.

i do have hope that i may one day soonish have a whole night's sleep.

A's now dozed back off and F's sitting in A's cotbed playing with a doll's house Smile

it looks as tho most of us liked the 'ming' thread title chulita so i'll take the liberty of setting that up shortly.

tsc what did you decide re the interview?

ach there's only room for 20 more on here, and anyway I don't think new threads are rationed or anything!

MIL coming to spend the day with J and me today which will be nice. Trouble is she will get here about 11.30 and has to leave about 4ish - and J's nap is usually about 2-3 hours any time between 1 and 4, so I'm a bit worried she won't actually see very much of him!

...hello...how's everyone doing?

(It's just not the same at the bottom of any old thread...Grin)

morning all, crap nights sleep here R was quite comfy when ds came in moaning about swimming Angry and woke her up. He's off till thursday, i may have to banish him to his room.

Thanks for the new thread cakes, your morning sounds like mine.

Mlic glad your both feeling better.

Its all coming together dh, do you have much more to do for the wedding? You seem very organised

I'm sure mil will understand woodlands, i wish r had a 2/3 nap i would get loads done in that time.

@ spireal and hotg, how are you both?

CakeandRoses · 14/02/2011 11:09

that was the least stressful morning in a while despite the unnecessarily early start:

Breakfast seemed quite chilled for the first time since A's been on solids - i'm finally starting to get into a groove with managing all the food and mess. i actually managed to have 2 hot cups of tea.

F went down for his nap without a fight albeit upside down in bed Hmm - maybe his 10 minute quiet time 'reading' in his bed first is starting to work.

this afternoon we're off to the usual charity shop for him to choose a toy and put a donation in box, library, park (it's sunny here) then stop for a 'cup of tea' (as Felix says as if he's the one who drinks it Grin)

what are you all up to?

Cheers for the thread cakes.
Feeling crap still and now dp and ellie are getting it. Fun house!
Feel as though we should do something nice to mark valentines the more i think of it. Could be starting to go down a slippy slope by just not bothering! any nice little ideas? and somethink that doesnt require energy or too much money!

CakeandRoses · 14/02/2011 11:44

random stuff i've been awondering about:

mlic how's potty training going? and how's w doing with dairy?

tsc did you renew your insurance? and did you put bootcamp on hold til F's better again?

chulita did you get any help with L's eczema?

bfeeders anyone still got bf type poo nappies still? A's are getting more 'interesting' but still smell 100% bf

she missed her 5.30pm feed yesterday which would be her first dropped feed if its not just a one off.

Kept meaning to update you all on the little girl at the playbarn. she was there again the next week with both parents - i felt v uneasy as the father was in the 'under 3s area' with her and her brother and i didn't want felix near any of them.

the girl kept trying to get felix to sit on her lap but he just kept saying no and moving away. Later on she tried to get him to go up the ladder to a little 'house' with her and he said 'No. Mummy come with me'. Very unusual for him as he's friendly and outgoing with everyone normally.

as i left, i spoke to the staff about what had happened and they said they'd keep an eye on things. also said when the parents were at the counter they were really swearing at their children Sad.

Had an awful night last night. The wobbly crawling and pulling up on things has ruine everything... Sad

He wont go down for naps, no matter how tired he is, and bedtime was a struggle last night.

Then he was up at 12, 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Ended up having to go back into the bedroom and co-sleep with him just to stop him crying. I'm so tired today.

Went to the playfarm place yesterday, which was quite good until several 7-9 year olds crashed into the under 2 area and started jumping about. Startled J and then he didn't want to play anymore Angry.

Following on from asking on here about babies responding to names, mentioned to HV that J doesn't really respond to you calling or talking to him and she wants to refer him for a hearing test. Have to get the doc to check his ears first, but then if it doesn't improve in a couple of weeks she'll refer.

The thing is, I'm sure he can hear, he looks around when you jngle his toys or if you put the stereo on, it's just us talking he seems to ignore.

Chulita · 14/02/2011 13:30

cake not yet re eczema, seems going private isn't particularly quick either Angry
That's really sad about the little girl, makes me realise how lucky I was to have parents like mine and how much responsibility I have to look after my two los.

hg that sounds awful :( you must be exhausted! if J is just ignoring voice then he's already got that aspect of manhood down pat Grin

mlic I know what you mean about the washing, I've not done any yesterday or today but thankfully both dcs are in the same clothes as yesterday so there's not as much to do.

In other news we put an offer in and it was turned down but the estate agent said the lady would like to sell to us but just can't go that low. That's fair enough but we can really only go about 6k higher which is still about 15k off the asking price on a house that's up for 150k so I'm not hopeful. We really can't go any higher than that so I'm crossing all my fingers and I'll ring the estate agent in a bit but I'm preparing for the worst.

I was going to give DH a tidy house for valentine's but I'm sooooo tired. I think I'll stick to my heart shaped vicky sponge idea and sweep the mess under the sideboard again

Chulita · 14/02/2011 13:42

cake with the poo, S is barely bf poo at all. His is really solid, shake-it-off-into-the-loo type and smells like bread Hmm even though he's still on 5-6 milk feeds a day and only 1 or 2 solid meals. No more bf poo for us Sad

Chulita · 14/02/2011 13:46

kkfairy you could just do a meal you know he really likes, that's all I'm doing. We'll wait til the children are in bed too I think. Or get some heart shaped choccies from Asda/Thornton's and hide them in his pjs.

I'm not into the whole commercial aspect of valentine's but any excuse to have a party/lovely meal/get pressies (not that dh has got me any!)

Do you reckon I could fill this thread up all on my own while you lot are off being boring in rl doing important things?

HotGiggity · 14/02/2011 13:46

chulita I'm so glad you've said about the poos, J's poos just round around in his nappies, proper little turds.

Chulita · 14/02/2011 13:46

both children are napping...can you tell? Grin

Chulita · 14/02/2011 13:48

hg I'm such a cheapskate I sometimes just pluck the poo out of his nappy and stick it back on Blush
