July 2010: It's about time, that we all went back to rhyme!

[Spirael]

Though mutiny is always an option.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Thanks for the thread but not the rhyme
Marking place

Ooh lovely new thread!

I took D to the library, he ran around the whole place clutching a book and yelling. Then I took him to the park and he tried to eat a fag butt. So came home and I let him wander around the car park/ garden and he was following our neighbours cat around, crawled up the kerb onto the grass and stuck his hand right in some cat poo grrrrr!! I had to get the worst off with baby wipes then came up and washed his hands twice with carex. I swear I can still smell it though. Why is it always D that finds the animal poo? :(

Cheers spirael - you've totally wrecked any street cred we had now ;)

Noticed we're still doing a thread a month given this is number 16.

I like the rhyming threads

Thread titles that should say. A while thread of rhyme would just be ridiculous :o

Is it really no 16, my goodness!
chu i know those nights well, it sucks beyond beliefe!
dh I wish i had a year for D to be sleeping, i have about 6 weeks!!!!!!!!!! Not good! and Rahhh to the cat poo, thats disgusting.
mylife Your boys appreciate you! We appreciate u, i love how straight up you are and how you are willing to advise when needed. How are u feeling today health wise, still shitty?
trudy sounds like things are going well, hows ur scar? And hows bf fitting in with M? I cant get out of my head that i just want to bottle feed from the beginning because its easier in a lot of respects, and i did with D from 2.5 weeks, I cant imagine cluster feeding and coping with D, it was horrendous with out a toddler to deal with.
I have been wrapping xmas presents all afternoon to take to brum at the weekend, need to write all my cards tonight and tomorrow then xmas is sorted for me, needs to be think i may be a little busy to care really!!
Thanks for the new thread spireal

Aww thanks vik!

Have a sore ish throat, dodgy voice and a bit of a chesty cough but have felt better than I anticipated last night...not too poorly for wine tonight

Thanks for wishing me a good day chul, I forgot to say that this morning. I really want to watch the notebook, have heard lots of good reviews, although very sad. I've got a film to watch tonight, erm, Conviction I think it's called about a woman who goes through law school to get her brother out of prison. Or something.

Aha, dh just pulling on the drive, back later

Wine cures all mlisc

I'm going to try and brave the local toddler group tomorrow I've been once before and they all seemed really nice. I just hate having to walk into a room of people I don't know and then try and come up with small talk.

We've got Conviction on our LoveFilm list but got Fast and Furious 27 through today even though that was on 'low' priority and they skipped loads of high/normal priority ones to send it [not happy emoticon]

dh that's absolutely gross. Poo is one of my absolute fears wrt dc, I'm completely paranoid about them getting on their shoes or on the buggy, I'd have vommed everywhere if one of them had picked some up

dylthan good luck tomorrow! I hope there's at least one friendly lady there to chat to.

mlisc W's top looks great, you most certainly are one of those mums

I definitely feel undervalued at the mo, DH is usually a star but for the last couple of weeks he's done little things that just make me feel completely taken for granted. Like yesterday when he washed his work/pt/cycling kit and 30 mins before he had to go to work he nearly sorted it to tumble/hang up to dry and then muttered "oh no, you can do that" and went and sat down Also him sending me off with the children so he can get a nap but then moaning when I say that after 5 hours broken sleep and being pg, I'd like a nap now that S is in bed and L's watching cartoons...so no nap for me despite him being home all day and Not In Work this evening. Don't know what's got into him but it's making me feel crap.

chu i think thats bang out of order and im not at all suprised its making you feel crap, on top of no sleep and entertaining two demanding children all day every day and being pg! Maybe hes just having a selfish moment or two though, i dont think they deal with the lack of sleep well at at all either, but thats no excuse at all. He needs to man up.

just bookmarking

Morning wss!!
To bed for me, far too late! Pleeeeeaaasssssseeee sleep D!!

evening all, happy new thread!

you def are one of those mums, mlisc...

J was grumpy as hell all day today, hope he cheers up for my mum tomorrow.

Hi all

Have read through but so crap at retaining things at the moment.

dh poor you regarding cat poo, I'd have been livid.

mlisc I agree with viks your a very valued and appreciated member of our group.

chu glad ms is gone, hope dh bucks up. Men can be thoughtless at times, s he stressed with work?

cakes I've heard of the blood type diet but thought it was for weight loss.

trudy lovely to hear from you. M sounds adorable with F. How you keeping?

spireal your way more creative/patient than me. I would buy biscuits and send them in.

dythlan how have you been?

woods how's Js eye?

wss morning, have a good day :)

viks you seem well organised. People are very rude regarding your bump I used to hate that they felt they could touch me whenever they wanted. I'm in a nursery for 3-5 year olds and basically work like the teachers do. I'm focusing on the children with additional support needs.

Well for having a crap memory I've done quite well. Night all

Just been reading through the blood type diet that you linked to cake and it says I CAN eat squirrel, rabbit, horse and pigeon but I CAN'T eat leeks, rhubarb, potato, cucumber or pork. I think its most probably not the diet for me :o .

I can't even remember what my blood type is, I'm not allowed to give blood here in case I have nasty British mad-cow-disease blood :o

Well chulita, you know you sadi about clingy, needy babies/toddlers? You know how I feel about the co-sleeping thing...I was forced into W sleeping in our bed last night :( By midnght I just gave up, I couldn't put him down, everytime I did he went down with no fuss because he was so tired but within minutes he would be hysterical again. This went on for an hour and a half and then I went to get up with him but dh said to put him in our bed.

So I've/we've had a shit night sleep. I like the covers pulled up to my chin and to be boiling warm, baby pushes them off so I wake up freezing. He obviously sleeps on my side of the bed so at times my head wouldn't even fit on the pillow. And of course after the night from hell such a bad night he would have slept longer this morning but E woke us all up at 7am

Yuk

mlisc sorry you had a crap night, hopefully he will be back to sleeping on his own tonight.

D slept from half 8 til half 1 which is good for him recently. Then he came in with us and slept til half 6 then half 7. He seems a lot happier today.

In going out for breakfast with my mum and sister at 9 and I'm still in my pjs.

Lol, let me assure you dh there's no 'hopefully' about it! That was the first, and last time

Ack mlisc that's awful, completely rubbish. I know S wouldn't stay in our bed, the few times I've tried he crawls off and tries to get down to potter around. If he's awake and won't settle, he either screams or I get up with him and cuddle him, no fun at all though. I really want to get them in the same room before this next one but I can't see how it's going to work if things carry on like this (awake at 4 again), L keeps waking too at the mo so it's all gone to pot.

mylife i am at what i have just read, you let him in your bed! oh man, it must have been bad, what was wrong with him do u think?
stac ur placement sounds really interesting, how do they give extra support to the children who need it without picking them out of the group? Must be quite difficult to even spot those that need just a bit of extra support.
dh Thats not so bad as it has been, do u sleep properly when hes in ur bed?
D was done in last night and went down straight away at 7, he slept with little interuption till 4.15 when i did a dummy run, he settled for a while but woke and moaned on and off till around 6.15ish when he settled into a really deep sleep, dh had to wake him up just after 7, why cant he do that two hours earlier??
wss ur not alowed to give blood?? How come?
woods hows J today?
I have got a load of washing in, cleaned the kitchen, dishwashers on and after tea and toast in gona do the ironing, i may even attenpt the vacing, i want to get all my housewaor done cos we wont be here the weekend and so i can spend some quality time with D tomorrow as ido feel a bit guilty shipping him off to the cm when i have been at home.

wow, it must have been bad mlisc! J is like Chulita's S, he simply won't settle in bed with us which is really annoying as there are some nights when you get desperate for anything to give you a bit more sleep...

J's eyes are pretty much totally better now, thanks!

We are planning to do some sleep training this weekend to get rid of the night feed which has crept in. It started when he was waking early so I tried feeding him and putting him back down, which works fine, but it has crept earlier and earlier. It started with him waking at 5.30-6 but now that feed has crept back to maybe 4.30 or even earlier which is ridiculous really. So we'll probably need to do a bit of CC to get rid of it - DH will try rocking/offering water but I'm not sure that will work.

Mind you today he didn't wake up till 6.20...

Yes it was that bad. He won't ever normally settle in my bed chul. As dh said this morning, he just must have really needed it last night.

Don't feel guilty vik, you need a break and it's good for D to stick to routine anyway.

Know what you mean chul, I wanted the boys to share but it just is not possible. One day maybe, but not in the near future.

Dylth, that seems like a rather challenging diet! Horse? Horse? Dear me...

Got to make a top/outfit for ds1 today. Thanks for the compliments on ds2's - I never thought I was/would be 'one of those' mums, but I'm secretly pleased that I might be able to pull off the illusion that I am [useful for something emoticon]

i'm so that mlic let babyboy into the hallowed bed!

typical crapola night here. A woke about 11am screaming, had bf and fell asleep in our bed and we managed to transfer he back to her cot. she then woke again at 4am and screamed and screamed. finally went down in our bed after some medinol and then woke up again at 6am for a bf. thankfully managed to get her back to sleep so i didn't properly wake up til 7.30.

we sleep fine with her in with us - as long as she's sleeping not screaming. i actually love the way she snuggles into me, she likes to shuffle back so she's right against me with my arms round her

i agree with you tho tsc bf sucks hairy balls at the mo. A doesn't paw me during the day and i never feed her out of bed/in the day but in the night when she's upset with teething she's all over me, ripping my nightdress down and trying to push me on my back and i HATE it.

chul i agree that your dh sounds like he needs a bit of a reminder of your condition and how much you're doing. you always surprise me that you don't put your foot down more - you come across quite feisty on here!

hope all is peachy there trudy lovely hearing about how things are going there. hopefully the bf will start to get shorter soon and easier to fit around M. i was dreading that aspect but now can't really remember it being an issue.

re blood type diet it can be used for weightloss, recuperating from an illness etc or health. thumbwitch is on the mn thread where we're discussing it - she's done it for years and really believes in it and she's a blood scientist!

right better get to work (not even dressed )
