Shit nights sleep for me here but a good one for DS. Put 2yr old DD in bed with me when she woke up at midnight but then I woke up about 3 hours later when she was wandering in the hallway calling, "muuuuuuuummmmmyyyy"

I did tell the story about the firemen being called to ITU to cut the handcuffs off me? That was fun!

I have also been a sunday school teacher.

Oh, that reminds me! blonder two weeks is long enough - try something else. It does sound like the formula is not making your LO very happy and it did make me think there might be a cow's milk protein intolerance there. Not for definite but it is possible. We stuck with a formula for a fortnight thinking the situation would improve and mentioned how poorly P seemed to one HV who kept saying it would take time. Then I called another who gasped at the symptoms and made me feel terrible for waiting so long

All three kids asleep so gonna try myself.

detective if you read this, go to bed!

MM I am ready for a haggis munched day out whenever you are. I will
Wear a pink carnation so that I am recognisable rather than the invisibility cloak I usually don

Pass - lol at preg yoga ladies!! I don't Think I'd recognise anyone. Then again I have cometely blanked ainslie harriott and fearn Britton so........
Det change at least at every feed. If not more. He hates being wet!!

Vq - I once thought about being a prison guard.....

I am from London and a right wuss zcos. We have 2nd jabs tomorrow as does someone else, Petite maybe? Hope I can feed him through them again. Poor thing.

pass I bet you are not forgettable at all. The 2nd yoga goer was probably too polite to say she had no idea who the first one was.

Mini and very petty ungrateful moan: DH takes L while I go and get ready for bed each night but always brings him up as soon as he starts crying. Just once I would like to have a few minutes to myself at the end of the day rather than rushing around cleaning teeth and feeling guilty. But he is very good in general and I know lots of you have to put up with much worse. It's just a small thing that would make a big difference to my sanity. Mini moan over.

Hope everyone gets good nights with blissful sleepy babies....

Was so pleased with myself for catching up with the thread - was 10 pages behind...then jumped to new thread and guess what, ten more pages!!

Was going to make comments about ironing baby clothes (wtf?!) and hand fluff (where does it all come from?! But seems futile now :)

Glad Teddy's photo inspired some to get star wraps! Some of us definitely due commission.

Weird day of feeding with Teddy. He started pulling away from boob every few seconds, crying, kicking out legs. All day. Was just resolving to find a bf clinic tomorrow when we had a perfect feed at 7 tonight. Urgh. It's either wind, bunged up nose or too fast flow. But which?! So frustrating. Hopefully wont happen again but I'm not convinced...

You blanked ainsley harriot?! OMG! I rarely forget faces - this is the problem. I see people in the street and can't think why I know them - usually turns out they waitress somewhere or work in the bank. I am shocking with names though.

I am shy - if I could choose any personal characteristic not to pass on to lady Penelope it would be shyness

Oh thank you for that pass, I did wonder about CMPI but thought I was overreacting but maybe I'm not. I will give the HVs a call (wish I had faith in their knowledge).

Feeding again.

I would not be able to consider a meet for about a week at least to ensure all bugs gone. Tues, wed or thurs best for me due to childcare.

I could see you as a screw horsey

so am I the only welsh one on this feed... I am sooo excited about the 6 nations starting on Saturday (I know rugby- cliche right ).
6 nations has always been the end of my tunnel of the winter!
question
anyone got a Moby sling (views ideas- seems a lot to pay if I don't get on with it)... any other recommendations for something similar - I'm sorry if this repeats previous conversations!
Does anyone else's tiny make a lot of noise eating mine says Oi Oi Oi Oi quite loudly!

Major biscuit moment but i need to vent.

Feeling shit. N quite frankly Sorry for myself. I hate going on about it on here as I feel, I don't know, that it will change what/how u think about me. That all I do is moan about my situation. N there is more to me then my mil being difficult.
But just feeling crap n hating here ATM. Obviously mil hearing what I said wont mk living here any better. But I've said worse to her face n she gets over it.
I just hate not knowing what her mood will b like. One min chatty nxt silent. All jokey. Then having a go at silliest thing. I literally feel like im suffocating.

Ok need to snap out of this mood. Need to focus on looking after my darling baby. He is the most important thing in my life n lights up my day. Well maybe not the first 5 mins of being awake at 3am. But even by the end of the feed he makes me smile. When he is over his cold ill b getting out more n that will help.

Focus on the good. My new mantra.

I'm up for a haggis meet up though can't have IKEA food until back on dairy and soy sadly. I don't care will sneak in a pack up!

We could meet elsewhere YW perhaps somewhere half way. So long as there is somewhere to sit and feed comfortably. And the food is not too expensive. And the parking is ok and free.

Phew, I made it! About 20 pages behind last thread never mind this one! All because my wonderful mum took e for the night Sunday night so I slept instead of catching up on here I settled him at 8:30 and didn't see him until the same time the next day, he guzzled his 10:30 feed and was an angel, didn't wake her once. The extra sleep made a difference to me too, I was in bed by 9:30 and slept well, only waking to panic, check my phone and drift off again. He couldn't be anywhere safer so I wasn't worried about him, just feeling guilty for her having him for the night. She is a godsend and said she really enjoyed it, so I shan't feel too bad. He normally wakes me up at least once with grunting and squiggling if nothing else but I'm grateful he behaved

Sorry to hear you're all poorly in camp vq, its so unfair!! and bless you gt sounds like you're doing well to think positively now though!

There was loads I needed to reply too but for now I shall go to dreamland and hopefully not see you all till morning, fingers crossed for good nights all round!

Thanks everyone... glad I wasn't BU. I didn't actually add that he did say "is that ok?" Which makes him sound a bit more reasonable but I felt put me in the Mother role, with him asking permission & me either having a truly shit situation OR saying no & being a bitch. He did apologise for putting me in that situation & accepted that he shouldn't have asked me, its not that important to watch it.

I really hate the fact that I feel I'm not enjoying my lovely dc, as all I can feel is the heavy weight of responsibility on my shoulders. I hate the fact I don't feel like DH & I are a team at all.

Case in point, its getting late, I'm knackered, he's got to get up early. I come to bed, he's about to follow me but stays downstairs reading a football match report. So what? you might say. Except he is a miserable fucker if he's tired, he doesn't get up when his alarm goes off, meaning I wake up, he literally only gets himself ready for work (doesn't sort any H/W out etc) in the morning, so if he's late to bed & tired, my life is a bit trickier. And yet he still does it. So either I HAVE to moan/nag/be his Mum OR I end up with a worse life. Rock, hard place much?

Plus we barely hug let alone kiss good night lately. He's passes off I think because I told him I was miserable. I love the kids & want to enjoy them, but how can I when there's laundry to do & meals to make & so on?

I really his freedom you know? O doubt he feels guilty he hasn't spent much time with DD....

And comrade EXACTLY!! It's just assumed we'll do it at the weekend like in the week. Why??!!!!! DH buggers off to hockey, so his free time is halved & then wonders why I'm .

Thanks for the vent. I needed that!!!

Uh oh, DS is grumpy. Best be off. Night all.

^pissed off for 'passes'

It's very quiet in here tonight... I'm going back to sleep now. No doubt I shall be back around four :-/

7.25 til 2am... You are forgiven for being a terrorist all day yesterday LO. Now just sleep til 6...

Fucked off over here too. Sane reason as chunky dp stayed up on xbox. If he even thinks about ignoring his alarm in the morning, I will go batshit crazy.

Also, we always go to bed together. Always. At his insistence. .

I'm sure we are in growth spurt territory. Grumpy baby yesterday evening, fussing. And now awake after 4 hours the same as last night. Where did my 6-8 hours go? Makes such a difference :( will be tired again tomorrow. He's gone through 8 bottles since this time last night. And 4 of them he has only taken 3oz. Damn.

I just went in the fridge for a midnight snack feast and just so happened to notice that something I bought bar of chocolate!! yesterday in Lidl has a best before date of 31/10/12 . Do you reckon if I complain enough I might get free chocolate stuff?!

Chunky no I haven't seen it. I don't think I could handle anything sad right now.

Another 3oz one. FFS. I'm not running snacks r us. He's gonna wake at 5. I know it.

I can't make him take mote because he just pukes it.

He's defo hungry when he wakes. Dummy just gets screamed at and hurled out.

Hello to those of you awake feeding. I yawn in your general direction. Furious junior sleeps two-three hours max before wanting a top up, having slept much longer stretches when he was little. So frustrating. I know I will be awake again around five - sob.
