Glad to hear you had a better night VQ, I'm sure you sleep more deeply when he's in his cot.

I can sympathise BP, J frequently manages to soak me to my keks. I don't know where it keeps coming from sometimes. After his last feed he possetted five times and soaked everything in sight. I'm going to have to shampoo my mattress once he gets past this stage.

Oooooooo DH has asked me out on a Burns Night date! I am all of a dither! He doesn't normally suggest stuff I am the social secretary!

LO finally out of week 8 weirdness and back to my beautiful smiley boy just in time for jabs on Thursday...:(

We've got jabs next week. They seem to space it out a little more here. The first were at 8 weeks, the second lot are 8 weeks later.

Georgee Jonas flew south just using his birth certificate (and a plane boom tisch) with fly be. Check your airline.

Clarella reflux started in our house at 6 weeks so might be worth keeping an eye on it?

I'd just like to say that I love my DH so much. He spurned the Witchery (and a free slap up dinner) there to come home to a ready meal to help with a refluxy baby and his inconsolable tears. Fecking new Dr messing with his meds to 'try something cheaper' I shit you not. Returned to the surgery guns blazing today et voila my son is now on omeperazole liquid and I don't give a rats ass if its £167 a fortnight

Dixie I tried detinox on LO the other day and it just made it more dry, but I think that is how it works. I had it leftover from DD1 too I tried the olatium cream b4 washing her hair the other day, that didn't work either so might try the aveeno cream

A big thank you to whoever suggested putting the extractor fan on to get LOs to sleep. Worked a treat and meant I could make DD1 her lunch without LO crying.

Go YW! Poor doctor won't know what hit them!

I think little pig must have caught a touch of this 8 week madness that's going around. She's much happier after vom-athon, and is even asleep in her crib!

Sophia a date?!? I am jealous.

Argh lost post

VQ - I was asleep but Sod's law LO didn't sleep thro so I was up at 3 again.

Clara- I did 5 weeks confinement! Close family visitors only. My Chinese friend told me they do 40 days.

Gorgee- everyone needs ID to travel. Passport is easiest for kids. Ie grown ups can use driving licence. If airline say passport then stick with that.
LO passport came within a week of sending (they say to allow two weeks). (DH works in passport control)

Swearing. I manage fine not to swear at school. But home I struggle to stop. But will have to get used to not swearing before LO starts talking.

Yay for date night Sophia

Burns night is my birthday and DP and I have a date, we are going to the cinema to see Life of Pi in 3D, DD's are going to be looked after by my mum. Hoping LO will sleep for most of the time I'm away!

sophia what is a date? I forget The last time I went out with just DH was my 40th. Two kids ago. DD1 was three!

OMG Just slipped over twice in the woods with DD safely snug in the wrap but still...Luckily I landed quite softly and on my bum. Bloody dog can just go down to one walk a day until its melted because DH walks him in the evening anyway.

donna glad you are both ok. I think you are right to avoid that for the foreseeable future. Dog will cope.

Donna the dog will be fine with one walk. Nt worth you breaking or twisting your ankle or worse and not being able to get up with LO in a sling.

My dog is scared of the snow. She wants 0 walks a day at the minute. Though it's not my job anyway... I just do the fun walks (when we take her places!)

Currently sat in drs surgery post jabs. Oscar feeding, looking at me with pissed off eyes. Yes, I've taken the preemptive paracetomol . I've got Oscars in the bag just in case! Seems ok but sleepy. Gave a good old scream though!

Do you know, I shit you not, I know you won't believe me but it's true! My mum thinks I don't swear. She apologises for swearing in front of me. . She has never ever heard a swear word pass my lips. It's gone on far too long to tell her the truth now . And I don't think I would ever have the balls to swear in her presence either!!!

vq bigpig an actual date. now I just need to find a babysitter. Hopefully one of the nursery girls will be free tomorrow or Thurs to oblige! Iam out Fri as well on a works curry night, I didn't remind DH when he suggested the date/party night.

Why does Olly always chew his ands after his milk not before?

Lol dtective lots of people think I don't swear! It has more clout then when I do!

I don't swear in front of my dad either, but he is on my Facebook. There are swearywords there for sure! The difference is, I don't care what he thinks hah!

We have sleeping swing success! Dectective I can't thank you enough for the idea...an hour off Velcro daytime baby! Woohoo! And he's sleeping during the day!

I nearly swore at the hv this morning . Went to get R weighed and see my bf group friends, and so i could find out what was going on re extra support. Saw a different hv

"Oh, yes, is still pondering what's best to offer you"

Me nearly actually in tears bh now due to the pressure. Chat about what help i think i need - time away from baby to cook and clean would be a start!

"Have you got a freezer? You could try cooking some meals and freezing them for another day"

Well fuck me pink and call me Rosie. I'd never have thought of that by myself

On the plus side, R is 8lb15 (6lb3 at birth) at 9 weeks :o

And i sold a hat, that's 3 this week (i started last week) :o

And dp had a nap and feels a bit better so is dealing with dinner - chicken casserole now in the slow cooker :o

Wow purple that's rubbish of them. Good news about LO's weight and your DP feeling a bit stronger.

How crap of them pidj (I have to call you this sorry!!) that's a rubbish suggestion. Seriously... I think you should have swore. It might have been therapeutic!

What did I suggest pikz?! I hope it wasn't anything naughty .

Currently being lambasted by DS1 over how I'm a horrible mum for trekking through the snow to take him to school yesterday... Oh yes. I'm terrible! Blah blah blah!! KIDS!

DH was home until 11 this morning, so DS stayed with him at home while I did the school and nursery run. When I got home, DS was asleep in his BabyBjorn. I asked him to take him up to his cot, and DH asked what he should do. It is his third child! He has actually been really supportive and helpful these last few days.

PP pics of hats on FB please! I wish I could crochet. I must learn. I can knit and do petit point and cross stitch and sew, but crochet has always defeated me.

Just fyi, the children's centre have a hot line to the tax credits people and will help sort those out for you

Pics have just gone on fb but I'm not in your gang on there
