April 2012 - Feeding, Facebook and finally summer!!

[Flisspaps]

Apologies for the rubbish thread title - thought I'd cobble something together though!

She hasn't been on this thread at all - do you think she's lost us? I hope it's that rather than something being wrong....

Or maybe she has - did the search feature on my computer but forgot about pages

Ok just checked again - no she hasn't....

Maybe one of us could PM her? Hope she is ok

Hope she's ok. I think we lost a few people after the babies arrived, but Thaleia sounded like she was going to stay with us. Did anyone PM her yet?

Can you pm on the mobile site? If no and noone has yet will go onto the pc

Maybe she is busy with her baby guys. But indeed pm her if you are concerned.

I can't find our old threads when I search on my phone and they're not on the 'I'm on' link either. Bah. Hopefully she is just tied up with Raphael

hi girlies, I had a little party last night, only had 3 drinks in the end. I didnt really feel like having any more! We couldnt get L to sleep till 9.15-930 we normally like her 830-9, but i think with the noise of people in house made not settle! People left at about 12 ish so when to bed after that, DH did the 1am feed then i did the 5am BF and the 930 again.
She seems to stir at 7am but not really hungry. So the last few morning ive co slept with her till she wakes up at 8-9 ish. Today she stayed asleep till 930, so i cant complain - bless her.
I was real tired though cos normally i go to bed a 10pm, so DH let me have a nap in the afternoon while he watch her. I slept for over an hour- it was nice!

Im trying L in her grow bag tonight, because most night she is just fighting out of her swaddle.
She has done more rolling from front to back and is still munching on the hands. Ive started putting a bib on her now due to the dribbling- maybe them teeth or not to far off???

vicky she is really advanced bless her, from the sound of things you'll be running around after her pretty soon.

I went out for the first time today without Aaron. I felt sick this morning thinking about it and felt very anxious but once I was out I was ok. Just text dh to check everyone was ok to put my mind at rest. This is a good step forward for me and shows the pills I'm on are working :)

Hope everyone is good x

Kat that's brilliant. It's great you recognise how positive today was for you.

Fantastic news Kat - well done!

So it's 7am & Bill has just woken up. He's slept through from 9 pm! Should I be worried or just super grateful?

Sounds like you are all doing well xxx

Harry (touch wood) is now sleeping from 10pm to 4/5am. Tis loverly.
He's growing length ways but not width ways at the mo, so took a suggestion of one of you ladies; to cut the feet off the babygros, think he's going to follow hs daddy who's 6ft3. 10.8lbs as of today @ 11 weeks.

Went on the Harry Potter Tour last week, tis a shame Harry won't remember it.

xxxxx

Super grateful henrietta I'd chop of a toe & shave my head to get a nights sleep!

So tiered this morning Noah decided he wanted to play from 3.30-5am - as well as the usual 1.30 and 6.30 feeds! Hes been in a lovely mood since he woke at 7.15 - think we are getting closer to getting a giggle - I can't wait! He's looking sleepy now so I'm going to put him back to sleep and I'm getting back into bed with him.

well done Kat you should be proud of yourself. Glad ur starting to feel good PND must be horrible.

Ps dream iv cut a few feet off - babygrows not people lol they fit DS better that way than going the size up which is great for length but drowns him everywhere else. Don't want to do too many though as I plan to have lots more babies

hayley - aww, that 3:30-5 am play sounds like torture! I think through the rules of karma, your next baby will sleep through from birth :)

dreamc1 - yay, that sounds like a nice sleep pattern! Good boy Harry!

We took DS to an Italian restaurant for a late lunch yesterday. Was a bit worried when we walked in because it was very noisy in there, I thought it'd be too much for him but he was brilliant. He just wanted to sit on my knee and watch what was going on the whole time. By the time we got the bill he had fallen to sleep :-)

I'm having the contraceptive implant put in next week. I'm a bit nervous because I've only ever been on the pill before which suited me fine until I ended up conceiving on it!

Having a strange day with DD today - she slept 7.30-7.30 last night, slept on the school run/shops, slept for an hour on my knee when we got back and is asleep now! She's basically just waking for feeds.

She's a little bit mardy when she does wake up but not overly so. Could just be a bit of a growth spurt I guess?

We have sleepy days too Jam (never 12 hours overnight tho! I figure it's the flip side of the days when she spends the whole time eating!

Feeling pretty low here today, everything's getting on top of me and usual coping strategy of making lists and being methodical isn't working as the lists keep getting longer and nothing is actually getting done. Big probs with DH, he's just had a week off and not only has he done very little to help during that time but he's been obstructive, lazy, inconsiderate and careless. And then he dared complain he was tired when he called at lunchtime. We're going to have to have words tonight, I can't go on like this. And on top of everything else the car is broken. Feel like I could go under...

LaT have words. You'll feel better if nothing else.

Words were had here last week and I felt much better, until Saturday when I realised nothing had changed, so I think more words will be had tonight but with less apology from me. It's bloody tough, everything that needed doing before needs doing, there's more people to do it for and fewer hands to do it with.

I don't think me reading 'Wifework' has helped as its just made me angry at how much I've taken on simply because I am female. DH seemed stunned when I said that from the moment he steps into the house then all housework and childcare duties are shared and that I shouldn't need to ask him to put a wash on or scrape leftovers into the bin

Feeling your pain re: DH LaTristesse.

I told DH yesterday that when I came downstairs after Bill's morning feed, it would be lovely to see the breakfast out, dishwasher emptied and tea in the pot.

The reality was he'd made himself a tea (he didn't know when I'd be down, so didn't make one for me...!) was making himself a coffee, and playing on the PC.

...but if I get pissy about it, I'm being unsupportive!

How can someone with a PhD from Cambridge be so clueless!!

To be fair...this morning when I came down, he'd made and poured me tea and oj, and had got me a spoon out (even though I was having toast!!). Big improvement!

Yes it's the having to ask for help that does my head in. As ever it is default mum does everything unless I ask. Can you pick up the crying baby please? Can you bring down your washing please? Blah blah blah. I am constantly having to carry dc3 as he cries most of the time that he's put down. Makes all the chores double the effort. Dp held him at a party we went to on sat eve for a couple of hours tops as I held him lots too. He moaned about how his arms ached

I WANT TO SHOUT YOU ARE NOT DOING ME A FAVOUR BY HOLDING OUR BABY

And now he's using my tweezers for his chuffing DIY!

Well, he's arsed that up by telling me he'll sort the kitchen tonight and he's currently making tea. Wonder if he's sneaked a look at my posts

Shout it then Buns. Don't ask him for his washing, if it's not in the basket it doesn't get washed. If I want to do something and DS is asleep I just dump him on DH and bugger off (DS is guaranteed to wake up though!)
