I would love five hours right now!
Dp and I have just had another argument because ds was screaming and dp can't handle it. Really pissing me off.
Dd was really funny this morning saying how I have boobies but her, ds and dp have 'nibbles'

Yep. I can cope with the crying and make myself stay calm (most of the time!) but dp can't 
even though he hardly cries when he's here in comparison to when he's at work!
Going to make some cheese scones later, should really be going on a diet....

No if I say anything he gets really offended and says I think he's unsupportive but he's doing his best blah blah. I'm probably too needy

Just took ds2 to the cinema, well I took the big dcs and ds2 came along as I couldn't express enough to leave him with daddy. It was good though, he slept and fed and slept :) I decided he'd be better on me do didn't bother with taking the car seat. And as soon as he woke I shoved a boob in his mouth, and kept replacing it when he unlatched until he was completely 'milk drunk' and winded him when he was asleep on my chest again! I am claiming it as a win. It was nice to do something for the big ones. And it was the new Tinkerbell film (well newish came out before Xmas) so I enjoyed it too 
and as it was a kids am film it cost £3 in total!
Well after his 5 hrs he then did every hour until 7am, I can't have everything though can I? or spotty would hate me

You're on my radar IsThat I've thought about cinema but if ds isn't hungry he refuses to latch?

Well done IsThat, that was brave of you.
DP is back! I have handed over the baby and am busy doing nothing.
DS slept 7-9, 9-2:30 (but I was wide awake waiting for him to wake for his 12:00am feed), 2:30-4:30, 5:30-7:30. Not too bad all in all but he did a fair amount of whining in between. I think I probably deserve to join Spotty's gang today.
I did the same last week Mama, got the wrong time for new mums fitness. I'm planning on doing baby sensory tomorrow at the local sure start. Is there anything like that near you?
Question about boobs. Mine still feel tight behind the nibbles (), like there's milk coming through every time DS cries but they aren't leaking anymore. Anyone know how long it'll take for the milk to stop completely? It's been about 4 weeks now since I stopped expressing.

I was in your gang last night spotty, really hoping for better tonight..
isthat that's amazing; I wouldn't have dared but you give me hope.. How old is ds?
fod for bf in the front pew!
willyou, will you report back on baby sensory for the thread? I've looked into it but am currently juggling baby massage, swimming, pramactive and rock your baby classes with work and nct coffee sessions.and will be adding signing to the mix in another two months. (Not complaining at all as I like doing stuff and would go loopy watching tv all day, just timetabling issues!)
Well dh volunteered earlier to snuggle O at home so I could properly hit the gym, which has been hitherto impossible. Left him at home with emergency expressed milk stocks, think he was a bit nervous but he slept the whole time. And I feel so much better mentally and physically!!

Hi ladies, apologies for being AWOL, a lot of you won't 'know' me but I was on the antenatal thread for a while, have read a few posts over past few weeks from you lovely ladies and I want back on board
A little recap on me - did was born 17th Dec, 8lb5oz, lovely hypnobirth we wanted but 10 bloody days later than we wanted! After dipping in here and there it seems did follows similar patterns to a lot of your babies. She tends to have a longer sleep when first put to bed of about 4hrs then its anywhere between 1.5-3hr wakes for feeding til about 6am when she's 'up' and wanting attention for an hour or so. I am kinda co-sleeping, I use the bed nest most of the time but if dh has fallen asleep on the sofa then she stays in bed with me 
Started back on the minipill and my period has just returned despite bf 
was hoping for a bit longer without one!
I have had gastro enteritis last week, I seem better but did has had explosive green poos since Wednesday now, think I will check with the HV that its not causing her any harm but I'm guessing they will just tell me if she's feeding well and seems happy then just carry on? Which is why I haven't bothered to mention it to them before.
Sorry for mammoth post but glad to be back

Chloe green poo can be a sign that they are getting too much foremilk. Clarella is the expert so she might have some advice?
Congratulations on your dd so nice to hear you got the birth you wanted

Had a random letter from the hospital tellingly an appt has been made with the consultant obstetrician to discuss 'recent events' - I have no idea what it's about. We requested an appt to talk about the eary delivery but we had that appt at the beginning of January so am hoping its a mess up on the hospitals part. 
spotty does your gang have t.shirts? or more bf friendly type tops of allegiance
Hospital appt in the morning (different one - they think I might be suffering mildly from PTSD from the birth/circumstances around it) and then off to baby play at the sure start centre in the afternoon. Lots of messy play that I don't have to clear up
