Hermya321 · 25/02/2011 21:22

KryptoTheSuperDogNobdie86 · 25/02/2011 21:29

I can wait to see Paul till it comes out on DVD. It looks good though :)

BellaDesconocida · 25/02/2011 22:11

tyson, this is v exciting! best of luck

hermya that's good, nifty!

off to google Paul. Didn't do what I was supposed to do this evening, will just have to have a panic tomorrow instead.

nymphadora · 26/02/2011 18:57

Am stuck on settee doing mammoth feed again & we've lost the remote. Dh put the rugby on & wandered off

nymphadora · 27/02/2011 07:55

Not got lot of sleep last might or one before. Trying to get dh to sleep in other room then he can take over in the morning while u sleep. He is refusing.

Hermya321 · 27/02/2011 09:36

Nymph Y0ou poor thing, can you take a nap today at all?

tiredfeet · 27/02/2011 09:51

nymph poor you. Not a lot of sleeping here either. Dh has been sleeping in other room though and then taking over in the morning so I can sleep for an hour or so. It definitely helps. Maybe you can try and persuade him to change his mind? Or like hermya says could you get a daytime nap?

nymphadora · 27/02/2011 10:20

I threw a tantrum & he agreed. Just had two hours & feel less tired. Sinus probs again though & ears aching. She feeds all day too atm

tiredfeet · 27/02/2011 11:11

Glad you've managed some sleep now Smile sorry about the sinuses though it makes everything feel so tough.

SilverSky · 27/02/2011 11:42

Hello everyone!

Hope all the kiddiwinks are coming along nicely. DS currently in my arms chattering away whilst grabbing the neck of my top. He's almost blowing raspberries!

Anyone else's hair coming out by the bucket load?

Also are you still washing Brand new clothes etc before putting on your bambino?

SilverSky · 27/02/2011 11:46

Sorry for lack of name checking!!

TysonNobdie86 · 27/02/2011 11:47

Hi Silversky, YES my hair is coming out, its scary, i dont want to go bold Blush
To be fair though it is calming down, was really bad for about 2 weeks, i was scared to wash it as i kept finding loads in the plug hole Grin
Nymph sorry about your lack of sleep :(

BellaDesconocida · 27/02/2011 12:29

nymph hope you feel better soon & get some more sleep & that your DH continues with the morning shift, definitely makes a difference.

silver, hair coming out at my pre pregnancy rate I'd say, & still washing any clothes before dressing PFB in them.

DD had an odd day yesterday, cried loads in the evening, slept for hours, then slept about 6 hours after her bath too. Little munchkin.

BellaDesconocida · 27/02/2011 12:32

nymph, sometimes I co sleep with DD in the afternoon, might not be feasible with other DCs though (but when she wakes up she sometimes bursts into tears, hope it's hunger & not the sight of me!)

tiredfeet · 27/02/2011 12:41

I co-nap with ds too sometimes. Am useless at sleeping in the day normally but there is something about snuggling up with ds that helps me drift off. Means I don't get much done all day though!

I still wash clothes before putting ds in them, but then his eczema is still troubling him. Even when we went away and forgot all his clothes (oops!) We still washed all the new stuff from our mad dash round tescos before putting him in it (he was dressed in a muslin as sarong until they dried Grin )

BellaDesconocida · 27/02/2011 12:52

tired I tend to have short-lived tidy fits, usually after first serenely ignoring then seething inwardly at plates left on the side instead of being placed in the dishwasher "how hard can it be FFS?" followed by "oh look at me, I'm so clever, I can put THIS plate in HERE" as I load them and think "but this IS the LAST time" - it never is! What was I saying? Oh yeah my point was stuff it sleep takes priority.

Caveat I leave things around too, but that's allowed.

nymphadora · 27/02/2011 13:13

Bella- dd3 doesn't nap more than 30 mins, even co sleeping. She is bouncing after that!

Yea to the hair falling out.

Yes to washing clothes as dd3 has a rash from when we didn't last week.

nymphadora · 27/02/2011 13:14

Lol at going away & forgetting clothes!

Hermya321 · 27/02/2011 13:51

Yes to washing clothes as DS got a rash from the stuff I didn't prewash. It's not so bad though, I just sling them on the mountain that is slowly getting to the same height as the washing machine.

To be honest, I never noticed my hair getting thicker or falling out in pregnancy or after. It seemed to be the one thing that passed me by.

DS slept better last night, only thing is I woke up aching as I was so full of milk.

shieldbug · 27/02/2011 15:10

silver my hair is literally half as thick as it used to be (I can tell by the width of the ponytail). I think the rate of loss has slowed a little, but it's such a pain cos long dark hairs are so visible on the floor.

nymph hope you feel better soon and catch up on sleep.

nohun have you seen the Saturday Times weekend review? Maverick is famous!

ds made a friend's day this morning by falling asleep in her arms during church. He blotted his copybook by then trying to talk throughout the Archbishop's sermon (it was a special service). Nobody seemed to mind though.

tiredfeet · 27/02/2011 15:23

I know nymph Blush I packed up a bag for him the night before but somehow -i- -blame- -dh- it never made it into the car
Was one of those times I was very grateful I can breastfeed so at least it wasn't quite such a panic to get to the shops!

nymphadora · 27/02/2011 16:12

Hermya don't suppose they were asda clothes? We've had trouble with those but not others.

Still can't find the remote.

Hermya321 · 27/02/2011 16:40

Nymph I've had trouble with Asda baby stuff, we've had two separate packs of babygrows and both of them were faulty so I don't really get stuff from there anymore. These were Sainsburies stuff that he got a rash from.

Shield Aww how sweet? What was in the supplement?
