I stuck with my Britax B-Smart 3 until DS came along (& bought a £50 chicco I think for my Dsis to use with DD) as I couldn't be arsed changing. Yes its bigger than an umbrella fold but that's not been an issue really. Still use it now with DS, esp given I bought a brand new soft carrycot (rrp £110) for £15. Plus the cheap tandem. Think I'm doing ok for not spending money on pushchairs... Haven't a f$%&ing clue what we'll do for a double/buggy when we go Brittany as we'll need boot space. Perhaps borrow the umbrella fold back from my dsis & make DD walk? June, so DD over 3, DS 7mo. Could work for a wk. Def taking tandem to New Forest at beg of March whatever cat bum face DH pulls when I mention it.
alert. If your baby is a poor sleeper, look away now...
Babies are a law unto themselves, an enigma, weird. After 3 nights of DS going longer & longer (~8.5hrs last night), he's gone back to 6h15m now. He has a feed after DD is in bed, so between 8 & 9. Goes straight to sleep (usually stirs a bit on transfer & then snuggles his face into his flannel & goes to sleep), I only feed when he properly seems awake/disturbed, but last 2 nights he's gone to 5am ish. Until now. Grrr.
alert. You can all look back now...
I considered namechanging to CuntyChicken but thought that was a bit too much given everybody else has got bored of that game now 
pikz if you went to ff nobody would blame you!! I'd send you some of my frozen bm to use if I could, as I doubt I'll be going out enough to get through it all before its 6mth expiry. I'd stop collecting in the breast shells or pumping occassionally but I don't want to get out of the habit or my supply suffer... Will just have to go out more!!
Despite DD being on antibiotics again, this time for an ear & throat infection those bloody vitamins are clearly fuck all use at boosting her immune system and all having to go to the dentist which I don't mind as I have excellent teeth inc DS, despite him clearly being too young, I'm feeling a lot happier.
Reasons for happier feeling;
- I've given up trying to be supermum - the house isn't awful, so sod it. (Not sure why I tried to be a "perfect housewife" after having #2 - I have never cared before. I wonder if it was new house + nesting hormones gone wild?)
- both dc napped for the same amount of time this afternoon so I was free to watch 2 episodes of West Wing
- DH is being better. Cooking dinner, helping with laundry etc & not being on the laptop all the fucking time. Hockey is still being played BUT he's not too knackered so far doing the compressed hrs, so we have Fri together.
In short, I am thankful I have a pair of lovely sleepy dc & a not entirely useless lovely DH.
Off to bed, DS is snoring gently on my shoulder but I'd better get some sleep.
