November 05 Babies

[Rodeo]

A new thread for us and our little 2, 3 and very nearly 4 month olds, where is the time going??!!

hey bob2 .. i agree..you have to bite the bullet and get out there..there will be plenty of other mums in the same position..good luck!

feeling very slobby and hven't done any housework today..took oskar for a long walk in the park to take advantage of the lovely sunshine, (and fell in love with the most amazing 'dulux' style dog..)
and have spent a couple of hours reading magazines and browsing online..

i blame DP for sending me an email this morning inculding the following ''hope you don't yet again overlook the mounting pile of laundry. The grill could do with scrub too''

grrrrrrrrr

as if I'm going to do anything at all around the house after that..I feel like taking out the stack of shirts I ironed for him last night and using them as a comfy cushion whilst i m'net....heehhee

haha Candiemom, I also do munchington of munchville, and all the other varitions

Well, cleaner is off sick this week so I've had to do it (I know - it's a hard life!), and I've realised she's really lazy!!!!!!! Now I'm not too afraid to admit that I do leave bits of fluff in certain places to see if she cleans them and she doesn't!!!! There will be words had on monday....

The childminder has been out with Natalie for hours, getting a bit annoyed that she's still out as I wanted her back by now .

He was joking I hope BOB!!! (otherwise I would defo spoil the shirts!!). Well, just been informed by dd2 that they have to go dressed as book character for national book day tommorrow . There was a letter apparently, some time ago . Will have to be either a princess or a dalmation I think, regardless of book!
Gearing up for mad hour here, with thought of curling up with OK mag and 'Jordan's new look' to look forward to when they're all in bed(I know, I know...).
Speak later,
Diege .

ooh NOVA, make the most of it I say!

ooh NOVA, make the most of it I say!

sadly diege it was deadly serious...coupled with two minutes after putting down my fork at last nights dinner (made by me) him saying 'maybe you should get the washing up over with now..'

my bum is getting a bit dumb with this hard chair..hmmm...

re - costumes....nightmare! my lil sis did the same to my mum..they had to go in 1940's dress and my mum forgot and sis didn't mention til the very morning..lol..

nova - aw..
''i want my baby back, baby back'' ...teehee..sorry in a silly mood!
good though for nat to spend more time with her in preperation for when you leave her overnight?

lol...dumb bum...could be..but meant to say numb...

ooh NOVA, make the most of it I say!

and to share more 'mummy silliness'..
nother favourite 'song' to any tune i see fit..
goes along the lines of..
'who's a tot, you're a tot, who's a tot, oskars a tot who's a tot, you're a tot, mummy is not a tot..''

god..getting too silly now...maybe I should just go do that laundry...

Hmmm, I would be having serious words with DH if I were you, though I sense you are not too pleased with the situation. Definite training needed, and failing that send him up here for a week and I'll sort him out! !

oh diege..but it's actually so fair..after all I get to nap during the day (!?) and do what i like while he has to slog it at work...
lol..lol..and lol some more...

deep breath (blood pressure rising...). As we all know, working outside the home is sooo much easier. Lunch breaks, adult conversation, breaks, skiving off time (err, a bit like this), oh and of course fixed hours and the dosh!! Why do you think I'm going back to work!! I suggest he takes over at the weekend for a day (or even a morning?). Argument would be well and truly over!

BoB - is it your b.day tomorrow?

gals I hate to get greedy but I need your good vibes -- my pediatrician has just told me I need to try the Nutramigen again for at least a week to help with the reflux. I tried on the weekend to much screeching and rushed back to the staydown. Please be prepared for me to a) be on here not making any sense and b) be begging for tips on stopping crying. First feed now. Wish me luck!!

Good luck Candiemom, - thankfully haven't had to deal with reflux but had awful crying from colic in the early weeks and just thinking back about it makes me feel for you.

lol lol lol diege...

candi...ask tex/golden for tips..know they (and othres?) are probably pros now in managing reflux..

londoner..no b'day is next wednesdy..first one i'll spend 'lone' ( discounting my beuautiful baby of cours)
remembering now having an inkling something might be cooking this time last year- sore boobs..sickness and all..heehee... (and hence out clubbing with friends on b'day and making excuses for not drinking/pretending to be by buying tonic, minus the 'g' at the bar..lol....

she got back at 6 - only half an hour before bedtime routine starts..hmmm...must confess to a little bit of mummy jealousy that Natalie seems to be so well behaved for her. She normally hates being in her buggy/out and about/on a bus for so long.

Diege - I would make the most of it, but we pay her by the hour! I was ready to take her back by 4.30...

Candi - hope the feeding is going OK. Sorry, don't have any tips, the only thing that worked for us was the medication.

Nova - can I be nosy and ask what hourly rate you pay your nanny? Mine only gets £8ph for twins, and my goodness, she earns her money. She has been nannying for nearly 20 years and recons my twins are the hardest job she has had!

Funny, cause I don't think they are any trouble at all, but then, unlike her, I don't rush to pick them up at every winge.

Oh dear Nova , but it's such a relief for you to know that Nat and the minder get on so well? Know what you mean though - you worry if they don't 'bond',and worry when they do! .
BOB: you make me all nostalgic talking about this time last year..doesn;t seem a year. Can't bear to look due in Nov 06..too sad, which is mad I know!
Diege .

LOL at the sleeping thru crying thing - my DH wears earplugs

Hi all

BoB i live in Beighton, near Crystal Peaks if you know the area.

A meet-up in Meadowhall would be good, its only 10 minutes drive from me and I work round the corner when I go back.

BoB I understand your problem with your DP, does anyone elses partner come home and the first thing they ask if, "So what have you done all day then?" as if you haven't got off your bum all day, just as you hand them their tea, that you have shopped for and made, whilst they sit in the living room that you have cleaned. Of course some days I have just been on mumsnet all day.

Candi the only thing that worked with us for the reflux was gaviscon in the bottles, a swing which she goes in every night and baby massage, really calms her down. We sit her bolt upright to drink her bottles and then sit her there for about 1/2 hour afterwards to let the milk settle. We also gave her a dummy on the advice of our hv, much against our judgement, but that has been fantastic, it really calms her down. I don't know if you are already doing any of these but good luck with this, I know how hard it is to perserve when they look so uncomfortable.

this is fun!

Just remembered the latest nickname which was started by grandpa - fattypuff.

diege finn is also somtimes finnster

tee hee

another question for you - warning - the market researcher in me is dying to do a poll....

how long does your baby have with nappy off during the day. i leave it off for about 5-10 mins once or twice a day - and was wondering is this enough do you think

and second question...

would you leave your baby with the creche at a new gym or would you not feel comfortable with leaving a four month old with a trained stranger
