Hope you're okay GT, was he out with his mates?

J slept till 6 so I'm very happy with that, only two feeds last night although the last one of the evening was around 11 so maybe that counts as 3?

VQ as Detective would say...
Swaddle, swaddle, swaddle.
'Til the very next day.

Finally got N down, an hour and a half after she woke, and half an later we're up again. Think it might be a long day......

GT go for the sleep option. Always go for the sleep option.

Marking...bit late!

Why does everyone decide to wake up early on a Saturday? DH is normally up at 6.30 on work days, so we all are. But was hoping for lie-in today. But Teddy woke at 3.30 for feed after about 4 nights of going through till 5.30/6ish, then ds1 who often stays quiet till 8 if we do, is calling for us dead on 6am as he's dropped his toy rabbit out of bed. Humph.

I'm up for West Wing viewing. Any excuse to watch the lot again for the tenth time.

kirrin, my stretch marks are just as red as ever. And my tummy is a v weird shape with dip in the middle from split muscles and herniated belly button. Don't think I'll ever be seen in a bikini again...!

Right I woke up early or was woken up early by a baby who snacked for five minutes then went back to sleep so I have been doing a bit of research. The Sep 12 babies thread has been going since September. The last Oct 12 thread lasted 18 days. The last Dec 12 thread lasted 20 days. The current Jan 13 thread has been going for 26 days. Our last thread - 4 DAYS! Wtf is going on?

I finding it harder and harder to catch up with this thread :(

I might become a lurker for awhile. Will still be active on our Facebook page but this is too fast moving!!

Don't forget about me! I will be back ........ Xxx
(I know I know kisses are frowned upon on mn but I'm taking a small holiday from you guys so I think it should be allowed as this is an one off occasion!)

Gt hope your sleeping let us know what your oh is like this morn.
drinking is the only problem (setting myself up for a fall) with my oh. I still fuming for him getting peed on Christmas day and leaving me too it (my parents were over but hey) ... he kept saying but its Christmas! He still can't understand why I have any problem. When do I get my Christmas?? He was the same last year. He still doesn't understand why I could be angry always asks sarcastically if he can have a glass of wine but usually has most of the bottle! when he does that - only a few times am I being harsh - then I feel like I'm doing this on my own ... so I may aswell be!!! rant over
do try putting d down awake seems she only sleeps when she is ready and feels she has cluster fed enough just wish she didn't want to eat after her bath then all night bath is at 7 maybe I should bring it forward any ideas. also considering putting her in own room doors would need to be shut though cat a worry! she would seem so far away - I'M obviously not ready!

gt B

Morning.

Friday Night through Sat morning is DH duty.

He has got both boys up and downstairs.
Attempted to feed baby Oliver with not much success (even after not having anything since his 10:30 feed I struggle with his breakfast, I just don't think he is a breakfast kind of boy. I have worked out if Ileave him half an hour since he woke he feeds better in the morning)
He is now trying to get them ready to go out to Costa.

An hours peace

I probably won't be Fly till a little later today but I have stuck at it all week and I feel much more on top of stuff. stunt I follow your advice and delete everything except the flightplan

The waking up on Thursday night seems to have been a blip. Back to 10 hours last night. Both kids went down easily which means we got to spend the evening together. It's our 5th wedding anniversary today.

stunt its probably me joining shall self impose some silence for a bit!

sorry that didn't last long happy anniversary petite!

... how do I find the fbook page? ... will now go back to silence as promised!

Thanks. Don't worry we've always been like this.

The FB group is called Nov 12 babies.

Two lots of 4 hour stretches last night. Best night ever!!!!

Happy anniversary PR. Hope you are taking the sleep option Gt.Also hope you are not gone long Candy.

About an inch of snow here (Derbyshire) on top of the stuff from last week. Good excuse for lots of TV and hot chocolate

Gt I love those clips too. That and the apple slicer things. Yes I remember when this thread was quiet, seems a very long time ago.
Zcos I hope you are feeling better today
I only keep up with the thread on occasion, I read during he night feeds.

Morning all . DD had a better night and DS was good again, makes a huge difference, so why am I still tired.

GT my DH cant stand the silent treatment either, a very useful weapon.

Think I have successfully transferred DS to the bottle - he didnt want boob this morning but hoovered 6oz in a bottle. This is great as it is what I wanted at this stage, and I need him happily on bottles before my return to work and I need this to be nicely in advance so I dont (a) stress about it when at work and (b) leak at work, but I feel a little bit sad?! This has got to be hormonal, right?

Well baby slept 11 til 4, then back to sleep but I lay there awake til gone 6. LO is so noisy! Snuffling and squeaking all the time. I had to put Ewan on to send me to sleep in the end!

Its my birthday today so we are off out for a coffee somewhere nice and maybe lunch at Wagamamas :) then later hopefully going to the cinema. I expressed yesterday in the hope that if LO gets in a state while I'm gone my mum can try giving her a bottle. I'll only be gone 3 hours tho so hopefully she will be good and not have a screamathon!

Happy anniversary PR
S went down at 8, woke for a feed at 4 and went straight back to sleep, and I can only just hear her stirring now
I'd be up for west wing viewing I've never seen it before.
WRT dh/p's helping, mine had never even changed a nappy until last night he never gets up in the night with her, not even on the weekend. He seems to think that it is my job. We decided that I won't be going back to work (which I am v happy about) so he seems to think now that he doesn't have to help. He only done the nappy yesterday because I made him, probably my own fault for not forcing the issue sooner, sometimes I'd rather do it myself though to save the hassle.

ps just sent a request in to join the Facebook group

Happy anniversary PR

To those worrying about catching up... Don't! You don't need to read it all to post! If I've fallen really far behind I either skim read, or just read the last 2 pages. I miss loads of bits but it can't be helped! I read on my mobile during feeds or if sat around waiting while out and about. I read about 6 times a day! Not keen on phone posting unless it's short like this! My thumbs don't appreciate the exercise!

Or maybe someone could post a daily round up of pertinent events?! I'm not volunteering!! Maybe it could be done on a rota lol!

We have about 6 inches of snow!

Happy birthday kissyfur ! Enjoy your day!

When I get behind with the thread I skim, then read properly if I have time. It really helps when people bold the usernames so that mentions / questions etc are easy to find.

Daisy where are you in derby? We've got loads here!!! Nothing to report. I don't swaddle be likes to hold his hands.....
