I'm completely crap at catching up every time I try something happens so sorry for me post.

E has been back to docs today he still has chest infection do now double dose of antibiotics and steroids to try and get into him.

Have been working lots so DGM took him today I feel like a bad mummy that I haven't taken him sooner. DP is out tonight and E won't let me out of the room without having a meltdown so am starving while he rolls around in his cot. Really need some sleep so hoping it clears up soon and we get back to normal (although it's been so long I'm not sure what that is!)

Poor e LP :( hope the meds work soon.

C did a poo in the bath. DP cleaned it up Grin

Def must be wonder week(s)/ growing time Confused. Another baby here who is rolling around crying in cot and refusing to go to sleep. She is so tired though that she is in a mess!

em still waiting on app through from hospital for her. It's just cause of where it is, right in her vagina that the gp wants to have it checked. Good to hear they don't bother J. She still does the floor humping so I wonder if it is itchy. Going to have her weighed on Wednesday so will ask health visitor to Smile

FuzzzyDuckosaurus · 16/07/2012 19:55

lp poor little E Sad. That's horrid for him. Don't be hard in yourself. He now has the meds and that's the main thing Smile

421 glad you had good holiday. My aunt in Ontario tells me it's been over 100 degrees now for a few weeks! Are you about the same or cooler?

Scheherezade · 16/07/2012 20:52

fuzzzy I hope you don't take this too badly, but my friends little sis did this. It was for, Erm,.......pleasurable gratification. She used to hump the corner of the carpet, although she was older than S, started about 2/3yo I think. She grew out of it, apparently it is common in little girls.

  • of course it could be something else entirely, and not that at all!

How's it all going, did the babies sleep better last night. J now thinks waking up a 5 is fab and bangs very loudly to wake everyone Hmm. Of course ages asleep now.

Dh home today :) yay. Missed him and got face ache from horrible fillings. Ds2 had last preschool session yesterday and off to friends today.

MrsHende · 17/07/2012 12:13

Popping in too!

Teething babe here, she was sick on two of my three pairs of jeans yesterday (she vomits at the first taste of calpol but then takes the rest!) and tipped yoghurt on the third. So, I'm in a skirt and tights and had to sit very awkwardly at playgroup so as to keep my dignity! I had no idea how much I relied on jeans Grin!

lovinbeingmum · 17/07/2012 16:14

MrsHende Grin I hear you! After a similar experience, I went SHOPPING last week and I now have a wardrobe full of jeans with all my skirts and dresses pushed away forever. By the time I am ready to wear them, I doubt I'll fit in them any longer...or they just might look like grandma's clothes....

Fuzzzy what's the blushing for...I take it you haven't seen boys pulling at themselves. It's a wonder he doesn't hurt himself...(I hope that's not just my boy Smile )

mama I'm late but hope you had a wonderful birthday. And did I understand that right...tooth fillings!...ouch....hope tummy is better now....

pebble no words Sad...just...hope he gets better soon....

scheh I think we're all getting crazy poo turns :)

emmazed very happy for you on the job front. I was a consultant pre-R but can't get back to that...it was crazy working hours. Have to start a job search but somehow the thought of leaving him all day gives me tummy cramps :/

I know job HAS to start but I just feel it would have been easier if I had something to go back to rather than starting afresh...not that getting something in this environment is going to be the easiest task in the world....

lovinbeingmum · 17/07/2012 16:20

Oh and 421 I googled padraig after seeing your message. They are gorgeous! Wonder if we get them anywhere in UK though.....

strawberrypenguin · 17/07/2012 16:20

em that's fab news about your job :)

lp hows E doing?

lovin W grabs himself too, makes DH wince he grabs so hard!

Engelsmeisje · 17/07/2012 18:32

Evening all. Just got back from holiday. Surrounded by mounds of washing and unpacked bags. Sun shone today as we were leaving England (typical!).

Will catch up with new thread tonight and tomorrow.....I go away for 10 days and you've filled 11 pages!

Hope everyone is well.

Engelsmeisje · 17/07/2012 19:18

Sorry you?ve been having such a rubbish time grey

Great news about running penguin

Happy belated birthday mama

DH and I had the shoe discussion last week and he said it?s better to wait for shoes. I just get fed up with M pulling his socks off all the time ? keep getting PA comments of ?Are your feet cold? What has mummy done with your socks??

Looking forward to getting back into a rhythm again. M was so out of his routine with sleeping and eating ? jars for the last few days while staying in a hotel, sleeping in the same room as us, time difference. He has come up in a rash today, but no temp. Wondering if he?s reacted to something he?s eaten or if he too (like DH) is allergic to my DMs cats?

Right now I?m just glad to be home. DH has the rest of the week off ? hoping for some sunshine Smile

Mamamaiasaura · 17/07/2012 19:35

Waves to *enj+

7th tooth appeared. 1 more and fx for a teething break. Dh home Grin but he's poorly Sad

lovinbeingmum · 17/07/2012 20:10

to avoid socks getting pulled off, I've found these super useful www.sockons.co.uk/products/sockons/

FuzzzyDuckosaurus · 17/07/2012 22:04

Waves to engel. Glad you had great holiday Smile
mama 7 teeth?! Right, J needs to start sharing them around!! I fear S will be gummy forever at this rate Grin.

My mum just called from a boat somewhere in Greece! Roll in Saturday till they are home. Me and S have really missed them both Smile

sch not lowering the tone of thread Grin but I don't think she does it for that!! In saying that though, we had a little girl aged about 3 in the nursery who came in with an 'Elmo' toy one day. She used to press the foot so it would vibrate then sit on it HmmShock

em great about the job! Sorry, think I missed it yesterday!!! When will you start?

strawberrypenguin · 17/07/2012 22:08

Hi eng glad you had a nice holiday :)

mama wow 7 teeth! fuzzzy we don't have any here yet either

Outnumbered4to1 · 18/07/2012 08:03

lovin - all 3 of my boys can't leave it alone either. My oldest had now managed to stop doing it in public at least!

I found the booties here: www.kulfikids.co.uk/category.aspx?cat=11 - a bit expensive but if you're having more kids they get better after washing and make great handmedowns.

Mama 7 teeth!? Leo is also a gummy babe still. I'm in no rush for them to appear though. I am still emotionally scarred from ds2 accidentally scraping his first tooth on my boob whilst he got the hang of feeding with teeth Confused

emmazed · 18/07/2012 09:41

No teeth here yet! Keep thinking he is teething when he is grumpy, but nothing....

eng Joseph takes off his socks too so I often just leave him without.

Feeling sad for my best friend, remember I mentioned her little baby in hospital. They have been there over 2 weeks and have now been admitted to great ormand street. She keeps fitting and they don't know why. Hopefully the experts at gosh can help. Not nice at all.

Mamamaiasaura · 18/07/2012 09:49

em Sad about your friends baby. I hope GOSH can help x

Out J has bitten me a few times and I've pushed her face in so she's opened her mouth and she cried Sad. But she's not done it again except the occasional nip as she falls asleep which is very different from chomping down.

Tooth number 8 almost through, she's teethed alot quicker than her bros. ds1 is teething too Grin his 2nd back teeth. Ive been brushing J gums and now teeth at least at bedtime and getting mornings more. She's getting better at letting me. Is anyone else doing this?

Leavers show at preschool at 10.30 'sob' my little boy is growing up. He cried today over the sad story of darth vadar, bless him

Engelsmeisje · 18/07/2012 10:38

mama we brush at night before bed (advice here is once a day until they're 2 and then twice a day). M doesn't mind me brushing his bottom teeth/gums but very unhappy about top! Has had 6 teeth for what seems like ages now with no sign of the rest cutting through even though I can see them under his gums.

sad to hear about your friend's baby em

tee hee fuzzzy at elmo.

I have rotten hayfever so am sneezing non-stop

strawberrypenguin · 18/07/2012 14:53

em your poor freind and LO :( hope GOSH can help. A freind of mines DD is under their care and has been since birth, she's 6 now GOSH are amazing and the things they can do are incredible.

eng sympathies for the hay fever I usually get it but its been so wet here it hasn't appeared yet this year!

Scheherezade · 18/07/2012 16:12

:( about your friend em how old is baby? How terrifying for the parents.

What toothpaste do people use? I have only been using water as our area has added fluoride but hv says we should use toothpaste.

Engelsmeisje · 18/07/2012 19:05

We are using baby/toddler toothpaste that my SIL gave us...the brand name is Max Grin
