Oops didn't mean to press post. So that's 5 nights in a row of waking ever 30-60 mins. Don't have to get up, just check she's ok or stick dummy in but I still feel wrecked cos I suppose I never get a deep sleep. Might go back to bed after this feed. Gorgeous blue sunny skies here though so defs walk later. What about all of you? Any nice plans for the day?

aethelfleda · 11/04/2012 07:49

V sensible LMF, hope you get to recharge a bit.

NorthernChinchilla · 11/04/2012 08:13

12.30, 3 something and 5 something....
Whilst going back to work is a bit of a bummer, DP is soooo welcome to the night feeds.

Off for shower and coffee, see you in a bit.

BeeMyBaby · 11/04/2012 08:21

figgy DD1 had colic and as I always say I am so lucky that she was my first so I could devote as much time as she needed (usually until 2-4am) and it means non colicky DD2 is a doddle and overall much more placid.

mopsy we are going to see my niece for her 2nd bday - SIL has forgiven me and DB phoned last night, and DN is no longer poxy but wonderfully scabby instead - yay!

DeterminedandSpecialMum · 11/04/2012 08:22

Morning Ladies.

Sorry to see some of you have colicky babies.

I'm shattered. Sky was up in the night alot. The half-term is hectic. Darcie's behaviour hasn't been the best. To the point where she has been eating DP mini eggs I got him for Easter and then lying about it Sad Tues we have her appt at CAMHS. DP keeps yelling at me too saying I'm a miserable bitch and all I do is moan and go on when all I do is try to talk to him. So i'm just going to stay out of the way when he gets home for the next few days. My life is not a happy one at the moment Sad

Sorry for the mememe post

AnAirOfHope · 11/04/2012 08:44

Dsm why r u marrying someone so disrespectful to you? Tell him to grow the fuck up and work as a team to be a family. He is so not helping u at the momment. A new baby and a stropy 6 yo is already hard work without ue dp emotional immuturaty. (pssses hadocock)

can i have hadcock for my h as well? We have row last nighht. Air pooed and it went everywhere h was sorting air i was feeding hope but i had to carry air to shower and h left me to it when he tried to confort hope instead of comeing to shower air and me go back to bf hope. She was screaming and i couldnt leave air in the shower alone so i shouted at husband. And carryed on from there. He did say sorry later and that he wants to do more with hope. Im still moody and told him when he starts lactating he can (sad and angry x 10000)

AnAirOfHope · 11/04/2012 08:47

Sorry dsm please ignore the above post. Im on your side and i wish i could make things better for you. Realy sorry hugs xx

BeeMyBaby · 11/04/2012 09:01

dsm I obviously don't know you, but as an official facebook stalker, it is obvious how much you and your DP love each other - the recent pics of you with the two girls looking at your DP and him being so proud of you all to post them on his facebook - show the moments which all arguments etc are worth fighting for. I think planning a wedding/new baby/ older child acting up would stress any couple out and all three at once... well you really are doing great!

My DH on the otherhand keeps saying outright hinting that he would like a 2nd wife to take up my slack in the bedroom - ahem.

aethelfleda · 11/04/2012 09:03

Sympathy mopsy for all the coughing and broken sleep, hope minim settles soon... If she's ok could you maybe bribe DP to let yoi sleep in the spare room for a single night to recharge? Or would that make you feel guilty?

(((hugs))) and for dsm and air, the haddocks are on the warming rack over there, help yourselves.

DeterminedandSpecialMum · 11/04/2012 09:06

Air We don't argue all the time it's only when Darcie's behaviour is really bad. I can go at him just like he does me Sad think Darcie is just out of control at the moment and we are both worn out. Sky is a very good baby it's just Darcie who shatters us.

Bee I love him and I know he loves me. our life is perfect apart from Darcie and her attitude & tempers - which is the only time things between Neil & I become heated Sad and Thank you Smile

NorthernChinchilla · 11/04/2012 09:16

And it's got to be said with a knowing eye roll too LMF... Today's task is to ensure I get to drop it into conversation Grin! And just being Team Bed post jabs is the way forward, worked for us yesterday. I'm sure from now on, I'll have to occasionally declare DS ill "(oooh, he looks terrible, definite temperature, yup") in order to whisk him off to bed for a nap with me and not Daddy Blush.

And yes, they are the most similar siblings ever. I still feel proud for realising it though as my DP hadn't got a clue til I pointed it out! Where is that accent from, it sounds like a mutant Brummie/West Country/somewhere Londonish?

Glad DS made it through the night OK aethel, all the jabs must be a really worrying time for you. Have either of the girls had the convulsions?

You both sound like you're in the wars DSM and air, so do vent if it helps.

Going to take Sir Chubb-a-lot for his weigh in, and will whisk him down there and feed whilst waiting, seeing as it's taken over a bloody hour to be seen each time...

DeterminedandSpecialMum · 11/04/2012 09:55

Okay ladies opinions needed pls, my period is 1 day late and I need to go to for a per more than normal - we've been using condoms as our only method of contraception - what do you think?

mopsytop · 11/04/2012 10:33

Cd be stress, dsm?

KateM77 · 11/04/2012 10:37

Hi everyone. I haven't been on for a while, so apologies for lack of individual messages. I'll just pass haddocks, hugs and coffees to those who need them.

Sitting having post-jab sleepy cuddles with DS and feeling very glad DD is at nursery. DS was fine with the first two lots of jabs but got incredibly upset today, Very pleased there'll be no more until December Smile

Exhausted today. DH has a deadline at work on Fri so didn't get home until 11 and will be late all week. DD and DS were like a tag team from 7pm last night, alternating between who would cry out and cause Mummy to have no sleep or time to herself to do little things like eat dinner!

I'm using all of this as an excuse to do very little today other than have cuddles, and hopefully naps, with the little man.

CherryBlossom27 · 11/04/2012 10:48

Right, I'm having another lazy day again! DS is refusing to take bottles from DH in the evening, so I'm doing all of the feeds and DS keeps waking up in the night. I feed him at 9.30pm, he woke at 10.30pm, but I didn't pick him up, just made shhh noises and he went back to sleep, then I fed him at 1.30am, and 5.00am.

Why are the parents so knackered and the babies aren't?!

I'm going to scoff the last Easter egg, and then DS has his 3rd round of immunisations this afternoon.

DeterminedandSpecialMum · 11/04/2012 10:49

Mopsy My periods are like clockwork even with stress normally! could be a possibility tho,

CherryBlossom27 · 11/04/2012 10:51

DSM....it's poas time! Good luck!

DeterminedandSpecialMum · 11/04/2012 10:57

sorry for TMI: I feel like I should already be bleeding but I'm not. The only thing is I need to pee more but that could be due to having a weakened pelvic floor from having Sky!

Rashkakeller · 11/04/2012 11:31

I'd wait a couple of days then do a pregnancy test DSM well actually I'd be manically peeing on a stick now but that's just me

How would you feel if its positive?

DeterminedandSpecialMum · 11/04/2012 11:50

Rash I'll be waiting until the weekend to poas - cant afford a test until then!
I wouldn't be sad about a positive result as we did want a 3rd even tho we are not actively TTC %233. Just means I'll be roughly 6mths pregnant when I get married and have another December baby!

HoneyLovesCake · 11/04/2012 11:52

Woohoo!!!! Rocco just slept an hour & a half out of arms!!!! Swaddled-ish in a fleece blanket & he stirred a few times & needed a hand on him to settle but it's 3 x his longest nap without me holding him :o :o :o

LittleMissFlustered · 11/04/2012 12:10

:o

NorthernChinchilla · 11/04/2012 12:48
AWomanCalledHorse · 11/04/2012 13:03

dsm, a haddock & an imaginary poas stick heading your way!
air, a haddock for your dh too. x

honey & Rocco; !! Rocco I know you're old & smart enough to read this; Keep on sleeping off mum...the longer & more often you do it the more toys she can get you. You know it makes sense Grin

DS is still feeding badly, found out today he prefers being almost horizontal..is there a massive choking hazard bottlefeeding a baby lying down, on your lap? I used to lie him down to bf.

DeterminedandSpecialMum · 11/04/2012 13:22

Darcie is being entertained by Disneyland Adventures on the Kinect and is doing very well dancing with the Princesses. However just wish she would listen to me :(
