October 2005 Babies - it just keeps getting better and better!

[Elf1981]

Thought I'd steal the honours of setting up a new thread

stooopid me saying that Evie had started sleeping through again. Last night I finally got her to sleep around half twelve, then she was up again at half one for a feed!! Argh!

Piggiesmum - hope your day isn't like mine was yesterday. Johnny barely napped because he was out of his routine. He was clingy for most of the day. I had to do pick up/put down for an hour last night before he fell asleep although he was clearly exhausted (normally he cries for less than a minute at bedtime). I can't really complain though as there was not a peep out of him from 8pm until 7am so hopefully we are back on track today

Hi everyone just had quick read through to see how you have all been doing,

Cameron poo's everyday - sometimes 2/3 times, I was told when I started weaning him he would prob become constipitated but he did'nt and they are always soft. TMI?

I changed the timing on my heating the other morning - it was originally set to come on at 6.45 ( had it at 22 degrees then up to 24)
but have now changed it to 4.45 as cameron had started wakening between 5/5.30 but not one bit hungry anyway it seems to have worked 6.11 yesterday and 6.50 today.

He has a soild at lunchtime and a solid at teatime but I will keep dreamfeeding him until he starts on a breakfast - doesnt need this just now as he is still managing to go between 7 - 11am for his feed.

I took Jess to massage classes when she was a baby so remember what to do with Cameron - it's a hit and a miss some days whether he is in the mood for it.

Thank you for all asking after my friends - if you have seen my other thread you will prob already know that he died on Monday, two 17 year old boys where arrested yesterday, my friend is in peices as they told her yesterday that he will not be home for another 7 - 10 days - she had the house spotless yesterday and all his favourit music playing, had a bath and fixed her hair and then when they broke this news she just fell apart - she just wants him to come home!!

Anyway feeling very numb for last few days and keep feeling guilty because I know in a few weeks we will all carry on as normal and her life will never be normal again.

MG so sorry about your friend, its a shocking world we live in :(

mummygow so sorry to hear about your friend.
piggiesmum I missed ds when I put him in his own room but I swear that the smile I get from him every morning when I go to pick him up is bigger every day (probably cos he doesn't have to listen to our snoring every night!!lol)

mawbroon - just read the article you sent me... excellent! Have provisionally booked those red weeks into my diary so I know not to be too concerned when Evie starts screaming for me when I leave her at the childminders!!

LOL Elf. I have drawn thunderclouds and sunshine into my diary too!!

finally got round to posting a pic of Thomas\link{http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk?rn=63122&topicid=1700&threadid=151346&redir=63122\here}

yipppeee I actually mangaged to do a link!

Yokefleet, he is absolutely GORGEOUS!! You must be so proud, and look at all that hair. Lovely pic

Yes, envious of the hair too, Evie had loads when she was born and very dark. Now its thinned out, and she has gone very fair so you can hardly see her hair in pictures!

thank you. That pic was taken in November and he still has all that hair!!!

That's a cute pic Yokefleet. Johnny was born with quite a lot of hair, but he's a bit baldy now.

I got some oilatum and some cream for his skin on Monday from the HV. I could see that the skin was so angry and red that it was only a matter of days before it was either going to start weeping or get infected, so I wanted to get something with a bit more clout than all the oatmeal/breastmilk/olive oil options. I am pleased to say that after only four days, his skin is healed and almost back to the baby softness which it was before. And, the wriggling about at night has stopped!!!!

MAWBROON thats good news
the snow is clearing here now, hopefully I will actually get out of the house tomorrow (been couped up all week so far!)

Aww YOKEFLEET, what a cutie. Love the hair :o
Ds has less hair now than when he was born and he was practically bald then too lol

ruby was born bald but is starting to get some hair now. Thing is it's silvery blonde so it doesn't really look like she's got much until you get close. Looking forward to her getting some hair as she has quite bad eczema on her head coupled with cradle cap which try as I might is impossible to shift. A bit of hair is just what she needs!

That's the snow started here now. It's around an inch deep already. I sent a picture of it to DH's work in the hopes that they will let him away early. It's around a 20 mile journey home.

I have been waiting for weeks now for Johnny to roll over. I have even being videoing tummy time in case he rolls over so that Daddy can see it. Just before bath time, we let him (ds, not Daddy) kick about naked lying on the changing mat on the floor. DH did the bathing last night and would you believe that Johnny rolled over and I MISSED IT..

mawbroon I bet your gutted!!!

Well sort of Yokefleet. I think it is outweighed by feeling pleased that DH got to see the first rollover. He only sees Johnny for an hour after he gets home from work, and for half of that hour, Johnny is BF. I suppose I should get myself organised enough to have EBM ready for the evening feed so that DH can feed him. It's just such a faf.....

my dh only see's Thomas for about an hour too, I really feel that he is missing out thank god for camera's! I send dh several photo's or mini movies to work everyday

The first day DH went back to work after Evie was born (she was two weeks old) he sent a text saying "can you send me a picture of Boo?", bless.
DH only sees Evie for about an hour, sometimes two if we are lucky before it's bath and bed time. I'd be in the same position if I worked my usual hours, luckly I have managed to rearrange so that I have 2 1/2 hours before bath time. Still not enough though.

My dad has been in Cuba for a week, came back yesterday. I went to the house to welcome him back, and I was just bringing Evie back in from the living room where I'd been feeding her to the dining room when he came home. Evie was asleep in my arms but as soon as she heard my dad's voice her eyes opened wide, she lifted her head up for a good look round and broke into the biggest smile ever :) So sweet!!

That's cute Elf. I bet your Dad was pleased that he is so popular.

I hope that you all have a nice weekend.
