new thread

Evening all,

Katz, omg, I am so impressed with your DD!!! We?ve only got as far as rolling in our house.

Mrs Wed, I?d be v. interested in another meet up. Is this being discussed on another thread that I?ve missed? Oh, and I?m with you on the cleaner. Much as mine are slightly insane, clean what they like not what I ask, and talk about us within our earshot, I couldn?t live without them.

Giddy, you?ve changed your name. That confused me for a while there . Can I apologise for not sending Leona a card? I am so so sorry. All my best intentions were there, I even went out and bought one, but then I went away and it totally slipped my mind. I am so sorry (hangs head in shame), hope she had a lovely birthday.

Tea, congrats on the job!! Good for you!!!

EYM, had a look at your sister?s wedding photos ? they are lovely. What a gorgeous dress!!!

Welshie, is it you that has used the Sleep Lady? I?m not asking for me, but I know someone who could really use her services. Would you recommend her and where is she based?

All fine and well here. DS is making the most adorably cute squealing noises at the moment. I?m having a bit of a problem though. I gave my DS his last b/feed yesterday morning. I?ve been doing the whole swapping over thing really gradually and its been fine so far. I was down to half bottle/half b/feed for the morning feed then stopped totally yesterday, however, I?m in such pain now on both sides. I?m going to try a hot bath tonight to see if that helps, as I really don?t want to resort to expressing. It even hurts when I pick DS up and I wont repeat the swear words which emanated from me when he booted me while on his changer . Right, my daily moan over. Hope you all have good evenings?.

hiya im back

thanks for your coments on wedding pics, my mum would have been so proud of her little girl.

lol my boots our james said mam weres your hat, he meant i looked like a cowboy i think.

ok Hubby hasnt called and i miss him already, really dont like been on my own, in this new house o well he ll be back friday, he keeps texting me.

Giddy im so sorry to had a hard time at hospital with leonna, i know ive had very tough times with james too, sometimes you have to be strict its the only way,

muma3 im sure your just up tight about the doc appoinment tommoro, and its true things do change so dont rule out having babies altogether, i really thought i was too old, but we have william, maybe if this is distressing you so much you need to talk to someone.

wow katz i meant to say how brilliant pulling to standing u clever mummy hugsss.

William is rolling over now, and blowing bubbles lol thinks its very clever, hes also a charmer like your ds Mrs W flashes his eye brows very cute.

Jonah - might not be such a bad thing to express. i don't think expressing gets the hormones going like actually feeding does, so it might work as a final stage before stopping completely? Good luck, sounds horrible.

We're getting much squealing here too.

No rolling, but ds now sits up for 10-15 minutes at a time and has learned to play with things whilst staying sat up (until recently he would fall over as soon as he started concentrating on something other than sitting - v cute an hard not to laugh as he looked so surprised about it).

Sleepwise I knew I would be jinxed - just one feed a 5 am, though so not complaining at all (although I hae to admit I was pretty disappointed).

I used the sleep lady (recommended by Welshy) and so did Tribpot - where is trib btw? - would certainly recommend her if only because she made me feel better about things generally. I didn't actually follow her sleep plan, although I took bits that made sense to me. I think she is based in London, but she was happy to have an appointment by phone. I rang her, because we're based in France, but I think she would ring your friend if she is based in the UK.

when was everyone's gorgeous babies born ???? just so i know age difference

just thought I'd drop in to say 'hi' as I've just started a thread in sleep

been lurking but not much to say and having a hellish time on the sleep front.....on baby and toddler. Oh hurray....so just too tired to think really.

hope you junies are all ok will pop in again when I check my thread and try and catch up!

june baby stats

Another one lurking here! Am checking in every so often but keep getting sidetracked before I post. Just de-lurking to say hello and hope you're all well, nice to see some new names here too! Will update the concise thread at some point.

Evening,

Just realised that I haven't really given you lot much info so here goes - don't fall asleep:

Me:
Age:32 (just)
Living with Fiance' or however you spell it.
Have one dd who I have obv mention previously, and a dsd-to-be (aged 12, luckily an absolute hunny, very helpful, always asking if her sis' nappy needs changing). Have one ex of my own who turned into an unmentionable word and dp has obv got an ex (complete witch and no exaggeration).

Dd:
Name: Molly
DOB: 13 June 2005
Birth Wt: 6lbs 8oz
Absolute sweetheart but then I would say that. Went through all the usual trauma in the first few weeks as she was 3 wks early and lost loads of wt at beginning. Bf for 3wks then gave up (with much self-loathing) as dd just wasn't gaining wt at all and mw virtually no help on bf front.
Now though as I said she is the best thing on the planet and I wish I had done it sooner, she smiles all the time, well except when she is crying. Sorry to say this bit as I know some of you still having big probs, but she actually sleeps for 12 hours at night (not a wink throughout the day, well maybe one wink) has done since she was 3mnths and I have absolutely no idea how I hit it so lucky. But mummy likes her sleep too, maybe its genetic.
On the down side daddy is away for 2wks at a time and I do crave some adult conversation. PMT is now worse than ever (does anyone know if this gets better), actually burst into tears on phone to dp last time he was away and accused him of wanting to go to a prostitute . Poor sod didn't know what to say.
Another down - me no want to go back to work, got to after xmas though.

OK wake up now. Thanks for your patience. xxxx

June 2005 Mummies - North meets South at last

lol thats the thread anyway

thanks for bumping me lummox....really need some practical tips here......

a better night, but both still in the bed!! roll on the return of Dh...gonna leave this to him to crack.....?

RHM, I shouldn't be giving any advice in the sleep front, specially after spending from 4 to 6 Am listening to DS cry out.... But....
Do you think this spider thing is real or just a way to get in your bed? Maybe to sort this out, you could make a really confy nest somewhere else besides her room, and give that as an alternative to her room. Tell her your bed is just not an option. I imagine there will be protests, if what she weants is to sleep with you... But I thin kas long as there are other alternatives you should not feel bad for not letting her sleep in your bed.

Hi All. We've been chatty havent we.

I'm in shock about all the standing, sitting and rolling over. Ds can just about get on his side from his back, and thats it. If i sit him up he falls over, and even with support he can't sit very well.

He seems very very upset at the moment. I really don't know what to do with him, but tbh its driving me mad. I put him on his play mat, 15 minutes later he cries, so i sit and play with him with some toys, not even 5 minutes later, he cries. I leave him to cry a minute, see if he gets over it but doesn't, so i put him in his ring, where he can sit up a little and same thing again. 5 minutes later he's crying (if that). The only time he's relatively happy is when i'm carrying him round with him. As he is 18 pound, its not exactly easy to do. And when i put him back down again, after carrying him, he gets absolutely hysterical.

Anyway, sorry for ranting, just fed up of listening to him cry at the moment.

He has slept through since he was 6 weeks old, so i know i can't have it all ways, but it just feels so hard dealing with it on my own.

Sorry, shall go now. But about baby cinema, can anyone tell me more about it? Please. I need to get out more with ds, and am getting bored (and running out of money) of going shopping.

Thanks

Yes. He is asleep now. He has a two hour nap in the morning, and about an hour and a half in the afternoon. There doesn't seem to be anything obvious thats wrong with him.

everythings fine !!!!
PLEASE DONT SAY I TOLD YA SO!!
i went to the docs today and the nurse said that everything is fine . its all in the right places but i do need to do lots of pelvic floor exercises to strenthen walls , will be seeing the physiotherapist to learn different ones. i ahd covinced my self that i would need an op and i feel REALLY REALLY stupid. i also convinced myself that i couldnt have anymore children so now that i know i can its confused me. i had thought of all the good reasons not to and now not sure. i do and i dont . think i just need time to get my head round things . thanks for all the advice guys and i feel really silly to have gone on the way i did but at least i now know that i am normal!!!
dd3 says dadada very clearly and says mumumum when crying
no sitting let alone crawling and i eel great
love me xx

thanks to you guys bumping my thread!

troublesmummy - I remember my 1st dd going through this.....I think they do get bored and frustrated at this point as they want to do more but aren't quite there yet (ie sitting up etc)

getting outside is great as there's lots for babies to look at and doesn't hurt mummy too ;) I put my ds down in the pram outside and he loves looking at the trees swaying etc. It also usually means they sleep better for the fresh air.....so maybe if it all gets too much and yr swinging from the chandeliers - go for a walk?? not sure if this is yr first as this is a much more do-able option with just one, plus you can go to a cafe or something and read the paper whilst they coo at the birds.....

Thanks. I know i sound like a right idiot. But silly things are stressing me out, like he left 3 oz's of his bottle and i was really annoyed. Don't know why, because he obviously didn't want anymore. I feel better now though. I am just having one of those days, and when you've got a baby screaming all morning at you, it just makes things worse. But i'm sure you've all been there and done that.

He's actually sitting against the sofa next to me, watching Pocoyo and munching on his fist. He looks really content bless him. Give it time!!

I think his skin is really annoying him as he has ezcema (sp?), and we just can't find anything to help it at the mo. So he is constantly trying to itch himself when his clothes are off. So he gets no nappy free time, which is a shame as he loves it, but he just rips himself to sheds.

Anyway, thanks to KVG and Redhead for the advice. I'll have to go walking alot. I just feel like a bad mother because i can't keep him happy. But mind you, i could do with walking a lot so it'll do me good.

Glad everything is ok Muma3!

As ds is being so good for mummy i'm going to and play with him. I'll probably make him cry now but i'll give it a whirl. See you later
