Catbag · 27/02/2013 04:07

Hey all. My babies ARE scheming devils who conspire to make me have no sleep. That is all.

sweetpea1112 · 27/02/2013 04:11

Bloody bastard sleepsuits and their Fucking stupid poppers that never do up properly at 3am. Thanks sweary Wednesday, feel better already.

Now O, as much as I love you I do not want to chat right now. I am tired. So kindly go the fuck to sleep. Thanks.

MissMummy1 · 27/02/2013 04:17

fucking sleep child!!!

(sweary wednesday. i am not swearing at her little bugger )

sweetpea1112 · 27/02/2013 04:28

MM O won't sleep either, still rubbing his head....

kirrinIsland · 27/02/2013 06:05

rootypig ditto. N is awake again now for a feed she doesn't really want. Bit annoying but what can you do?!

cat :( hope you've managed to get some sleep.

mm and sweetpea sleepy dust to you both as well (but leave me a little bit please!) N does furious face/head rubbing - I thought it was a newborn reflex thing but she's showing no signs of stopping.

Sophiathecheesefairy · 27/02/2013 07:00

vq we have just this week while we are staying in this cottage in NI put little O into his own room. I didn't sleep well the first night! When we get back I will move hi. Out of ours at home.

I usually don't put my babies into the next seat till close to their first birthday.

Sophiathecheesefairy · 27/02/2013 07:13

Fuckity fuck I forgot it is sweary Wednesday. Hopefully there will be nothing to swear about as we do the rounds of the tradesmen.

Welcome rooty to sweary Wednesday, the day we get a weeks worthy swearing off our chest.

PetiteRaleuse · 27/02/2013 07:31

Morning.

Fucking flu.

Ill baby.

Fed up.

Ready for spring.

This has to be the last of the winter bugs doesn't it? WeVe had colds, throat infections, bronchitis, bronchiolitis, pneumonia and flu. Taht's it isn't it? There aren't anymore are there? We don't seem to have norovirus over here.

I just want a week with none of us ill. I swear I am at breaking point here. DH working late every evening really isn't helping, though it's not his fault.

And I know I should be grateful that it's nothing worse but I'm still pissed off.

And you know what I pretty much wrote the same post every week for the last few weeks, thinking we may be at an end of it, but we never are. It just keeps coming. It's bloody unfair.

I worked out that if I had been working I or DH would have had to take almost four weeks off since Christmas due to either sick children or sick me. Great use of annual leave.

I repeat: fucking flu.

Contradictionincarnate · 27/02/2013 07:32

FUCK... up again!! thought we did growth spurt last week!? so what's this shit? Sad.
ooo that felt good and bad at the same time thank fuck for sweary Wednesday!!
dd has jabs today too Sad I don't have the energy ... and I have to pack!! Sad Sad Sad pissflaps! Angry Sad
hope she goes back down after this feed and that the mysterious delivery (anniversary present dh is being very coy about) doesn't arrive til after 10.30.

YellowWellies · 27/02/2013 07:40

Morning fuckers!!! Pissflaps, bollocks, fuck and wankbadgers - today started at 5.50 thanks to someone vomming up their night feed and refusing to nod off again. He has been much harder to settle for the last two nights which might be teeth but might be the sleep regression part deux. Sigh perfect timing for our visit to the in laws Envy . Am glad I decided to buy PIL ear plugs just in case! I think he's feeding himself back to sleep now. Am going to join him.

Contradictionincarnate · 27/02/2013 07:41

PetiteRaleuse · 27/02/2013 08:02

Who the fuck stole my toddler during the night and gave her 15 cans of Red Bull to drink? I know I should be grateful that she is healthy and energetic, considering my last post, but she is bouncing off the walls and I can't keep up.

LO so cute. She's trying to smile but can't quite manage it as she feels so rubbish, so she's doing little half smiles rather than big gummy grins.

Right, the following are cunts: Orange, EDF, my baker for buggering off on holiday, my dog for rolling in some really smelly shit, whichever of my cats who has smeared blood and feathers up my garden path two days in a row (catch mice you twats, not birds) and my throat for hurting so fucking much.

fruitpastilles · 27/02/2013 08:02

Hoping the flu fucks right off from the PR household.
After me being awake all night feeling ill, I have woken this morning feeling right as rain thank fuck I don't think I could cope feeling ill and looking after a baby aswell, I don't know how everyone else does it, you must all be supermums.

capedcrusader25 · 27/02/2013 08:04

Just a quick question - after jabs has anyone's LO come out in dak spots under the skin on their thighs?? O hasn't previously but after she had her third set on Monday she had a fever yesterday and this morning I've noticed these. They're not raised and if you feel over her skin you can't actually feel them at all. She's fine in herself and they don't seem to be bothering her at all. Anyone has any experience of it??

capedcrusader25 · 27/02/2013 08:05

Oh, and fuckity fuck fuck Wink

Morning.

He stopped screaming.

Thoughts are I've tried reducing the amount of gaviscon he has so only one sachet per feed apart from his mid morning feed to aid his constipation. The result? More vom and screaming baby. Going back to increased dose. Well I tried!! I might try some water just to hydrate him a bit more.

Anyway night was ok. I woke at 4 from a horrendous nightmare and didn't really go back to sleep. Ds woke at 430 and 510. I think the 510 was more because he wasn't properly asleep at 430. Anyway no feeds just dummy and a cuddle in his basket.

My plan is to move him either just before or just after we go to France. So around 5 months. He's getting quite big now but I'll miss him.

misslaugh don't hastily quit your job and repay your mat pay. Most contracts state something along the lines of you have to go back for a min of one day a week for 12 weeks. So it could be you could use annual leave to cover that return to work and then hand your notice in. You will accrue leave while off so explore that before leaving!! Good luck

pr hugs. It's nearly spring.

MissMummy1 · 27/02/2013 08:15

I have had 2 hours sleep. With Matilda beside me. Sad

I swore enough yesterday but the following people in my world are wankbadgers:

Insurance company for being insurance twunts; gas people for not fixing my boiler like they said they had; orange for disconnecting my phone from their server 4+ times a month.. feck knows why; the dosey bint who drove into me - I will make sure everyone in the area knows not to use her as a childminder; and my university for losing a cheque and my paperwork. And HMRC for fucking up my MA. In fact the whole world can get to fuck today Grin

(on the plus side dp is off to look at some rather lurvly new cars at a local dealership - crossed fingers ladies he sees sense and buys me the 308 I have been lusting over for weeks!! Smile )

capedcrusader25 · 27/02/2013 08:22

Wank badgers is by far the best thing I've heard this year!
