October 2011: Crawling, teething and (we hope) sleeping through

[Penelope1980]

Sorry guys - posted the 1000th message without realising , so hopefully you can all find this thread!

Yay S! :o :o

only skimmed read as been cleaning and pulling wallpaper off for the last 6 hours! plus having all 4 kids with me- oh the fun.

penguin i didnt notice any tone at all. x

i care about my own tone and that i dont unintentional upset someone, but im afraid you would almost have to say 'sassy you're a bitch' for me to realise! i never assume people are being funny- cos why would you be? iyswim.

go s!

about to collapse with a bath, curry and a drink of choice, but definately not one of these

Go S!
M has managed to pull himself up properly onto his hands and knees today, but still commando crawling at a cracking pace . He also pulled himself into a sitting position from lying down.

sassy we're having curry as well (and after my moan about DH the other day, he's the one cooking it )

right so im in the bath- 1 hour and 15mins later.

obviously there was milk to be made, food cooked toasted bums to be changed etc, while dp had his bath first

actually to be fair, he did have the dirtest job- ripping up carpet from the bathroom (who has carpet in a bathroom these days?)

but just to have a little rant about dp cos he is annoying me he always switches to default mode when we enter the house or when he's in the house and i come home.

by this i mean, if he's got the kids, he will think about giving the milk, food, bum changes, dressed etc. but if im in the house or i come back, the default position is that its MY job. it doesnt enter his head ............ AT ALL.

anyone elses dp/h do this?

his retort 'i know, but you're so good at it' cheeky fecker!

jnice im so sorry about your friend. but glad that everything is improving. 42? yikes only 4 years older than me. life is cruel at times.

sorry, keep posting and then remembering other things.

mamma how has it been for yourself and dc2 since his diagnosis?

bb3 how is k? has he had his grommets fitted yet?

there was someone else with an operation coming up. that was for a ds too (poor ds's on this thread) i asked if it could get better in time. think it might be newbish ie, wasnt on the original thread. so sorry i cant remember hope he is ok though.

argh!!!!

that should say - a newbie

sassy that's my dh's attitude and response also.

sassy that's what DH is like as well (most of the time)! He stays home one day to look after M and is home before me the other day I'm at work, and as I complained about at length last week will often just hand M over to me when I walk through the door, even though I would never do that to him on days that I'm home.

sassy yep, mine does that too. I have to ask in order for him to do stuff if I'm here. Which means that when I'm not here I'm desperately worried he won't do anything cos I'm not there to ask. But of course he does do it.

My DH is generally pretty good I do seem to get most of the poo though!

sassy the other one was my W I think. He's doing ok thanks, we have hospital appointments next week to check on his kidney that was operated on so hopefully we can be signed off on that. Next appointment for his head is the end of August when we might be given the op date for that.

W was 'walking' all over the living room and kitchen today my knees are now protesting at all the crawling behind him I did while I provided his balance. He chased the cat while grinning madly, the cat just looked like 'oh shit, it's moving!' as she bolted upstairs.

Hi guys... I haven't been on here for ages... but... help I'm pregnant again!!! Totally not planned... for some reason my contraception failed.

awh. congratulations countrymamma

when are you due?

dp has made curry from scratch.......decided to forgive him.

hope you enjoy(ed) your curry eng

I don't know. The test says 3+ so could be 5weeks could be 15! I genuinely have no idea!

OMG country! Congratulations!

Wow country! Congratulations! What exciting news...can't wait to find out how far along you are .

Hope you are feeling ok - take it as easy as you can!

countrymama wow and congrats! I hope you are feeling ok

countrymama wow, congrats!!!! Please keep us updated . Wondered who would be first to have sibling for our babies!

Country congratulations. I hope you're feeling OK about it. I guess it's a bit of a shock if it wasn't planned.

Fuzzzy Woo hoo for the crawling. So cute. That's it now...so they tell me!

Sassy I wish my dh would do that (make curry from scratch that is!) But yes he does 'rely' on me if I'm in. Even asking if he should give Seb the rest of his bottle. Although, having said that, he's not too bad .

Seb's done really well with his eating recently; loved his stir-fried courgette yesterday, stuffed his face on porridge this morning and scoffed loads (comparatively!) of cream cheese and avocado sandwiches at lunch. However, he's being really quite sick recently. Nothing that he is concerned about but it just seems to regularly come up all over the place, like he's newborn again (but all 'foodie' - gross). He's had reflux since he was about a month and I recall the hv saying that it would improve once he got past 5 months and was on solids but he's seven months and it's getting worse, after being really good. Has anyone else had really pukey babies with solids? Dh says he's not that bad during the week but then he doesn't eat so much, but we need to increase the amount he's eating.

M isn't pukey all the time but he threw up a lot one night last week tally after I think I gave him too much dinner (lentils/rice/veg). I wouldn't worry about having to increase his food unless he wants it. The night he threw up I just kept feeding him, even though he wasn't asking for it

it was very yummy sassy

Congrats country hope you're doing ok after initial shock. Have to confess we're not using anything - took so long falling pregnant with N we're just letting it happen when it will happen this time. Would like a smallish age gap between N and potential bro/sis.

spand lookout, seems we're all at the same stage weaning-wise. N eating similar stuff and not sure how to progress. He's still not eating much though, some days v little and I'm worrying again as I'm starting work ft in 10 days. God I hope it improves when he starts nursery, maybe the other babies will bring him along? Sleep has been lots better since he moved to his own room. Just 2 night feeds now which I can cope with!!

Sorry about your mum sassy, my step dad had a stroke in 2010, and he's recovered pretty well, walking (albeit slowly.) and driving again. Hope the trial goes well for her

Congrats country :)

ips W doesn't eat much of his finger food either, but it gives him a feel for it I guess. He eats more purée though so he has that for breakfast and tea and finger foods for lunch. I thought it was a good compromise. Not sure how I will fit breakfast in once I go back to work though!

Morning

I've tried really hard go catch up but I've forgotten it all!

Sassy I'm so sorry about your mum, how is she doing now? Is everyone better now?

Country - huge congratulations!! That's fantastic news (I'm going to have to fight my broodiness now!) - when do you think your scan will be?

I had a bit of a reading the weaning section and salt levels as while I was in the bathroom yesterday Ayse-Rose had crawled over to her brothers lunch plate and helped herself to his pringles!

Fuzzz well done little s! It's all craziness from here on in - Ayse has been properly crawling for about a month or so now and is really good can go from sitting to crawling and back again and crawls over to the sofa to pull herself to standing, Edie is only just crawling Properly after a few weeks of commando crawling everywhere but they both get about quite quickly and I'm forever running after them and moving things out the way! Was a nightmare on holiday as no room to crawl in the rooms and the pool area was obviously a heart attack waiting to happen!

Sass - ds' op is on 2nd July, was supposed to be next week but we are in Edinburgh so we had to delay it - which reminds me, any of you Scottish ladies near there?

Oh I love buying new houses and the stripping out phase! (admittedly I have only done it twice!) our old house that we rent out is the kids uni fund too!

Sorry I am rubbish with the catch up, girls just woken up from nap, will try and get some pics up soon xxx

bb3 Edinburgh is about an hour away from Glasgow where us scottish mums are... Could be a thought though! When are you all up this way?

Re weaning, I just ranted at dh

I bought us a box of thorntons (bargain 2.75 ). Anyway we all had one and dh was holding Jessica who was wearing cream dress (Jessica not dh ). Anyway I commented that she was watching him eat toffee truffle at which he put a bit in her mouth. Apart from that it's full of crap ( ok I may let her have a teeny bit very occassionly) she was wearing cream and when I said shed get it on her dress so he shoved her pretty cream dribble bib in her mouth and she cried. I went off on one. (I know I was bu but that's my prerogative )
