pidj me me me is fine - we are here for you to sound off to. I don't know what I would do without this to keep me sane, and my woes are nothing compared to what you are dealing with at the moment.

N has just slept from about half 12 til now - so 3.5 hours? It has been a loooong time since she's gone that long. Are we coming out the other side??! Or is this a one off and she's lulling me into a false sense of security!! Perhaps it's down to the sea air - if so, I'm going to go to the beach every day!

detective hope that teat's stayed unblocked and you are back to sleep.

Hi ladies,

I've been lurking for a while reading on here and Facebook so thought I'd better say hello! Not a chance that I'll keep up with the threads (you guys are very chatty!) but I'll give it a go.

My DD Grace was born 19.11.12 (15 weeks) and weighed 6lb 14oz. She initially lost quite a bit of weight and struggled to gain it back but it going great now. She is very smiley and chatty but no proper giggles yet. She's rolled front to back a few times and has started grasping things, my left handed DH is in denial that she is using her right hand mostly.

I'll post a FB pic and intro next feed....

Arghhhh he's 16weeksnext week. How the fuck can this sodding sleep get any worse? Arsebadgers.

8-12-4 he goes longer during the ducking day without food sometimes.

Yawn. Second feed of the night here. I hope he'll sleep until morning after this not bloody likely.

Hello barefoot

First waking so he slept 9.15 to 4.30. Very good indeed! Only the second time he has gone this long in 19 weeks. He seems very sleepy too. If I did not have the girls to consider he would have possibly self setled.

I have woken frequently but rested. Have a splitting headache too. Very odd dreams continue.

So sorry to hear of poor nights, reflux and skin problems x

Oops! Forgot sweary. Fuckgerbils!

VQ I'm getting odd dreams too - really vivid.

Hello barefoot welcome! The 19th was my EDD but my wee man turned up on 23rd October instead. Random name associations but I used to run barefoot.

Right feed and transfer done - sweet dreams all.

Oh yes sweary Wednesday - night night weasel bitches!

I could not even describe the dreams. They are not baby related. I am always single, and it is real life as opposed to fantasy. I have been in Canada tonight, driving an author (hottie) around in a crap car, whilst fighting a lawsuit with the help of the author. Baby was given to me just at the time J woke. Dreams fascinate me. Sadly sleep eludes me, but not tonight, for which I am fucking greatful!

grateful fuck!

J did not want to go to sleep so he has had a new nappy and is feeding again. When do I get to sleep?

stunt :( your turn for the sleepy dust tomorrow. Can't DH help at all?

Welcome barefoot :)

Another 1.5 hours! It's like Christmas come early

J has done really well VQ

DH did the middle-of-the-night nappy change Kirrin and has just brought me a cup of tea so I might leave it another day before I kick him out he does help a bit. If we switch to formula tomorrow then I suppose he might be able to do the odd feed but I'm not sure as I've never ff before.

So tired today and I have parent-teacher meetings this afternoon with the baby in tow. Now to find out what the little bastards darlings have been up to at school.

How is O today Detective? Any improvement with his feeds?

And Tits, how are you keeping?

Well the teat did stay unblocked! But I did not sleep something to do with squirmy baby cot dodging maybe?! I've given up now. There's a baby group on at 10 so if I get up soon I can get ready before O wakes maybe. I need to wash my hair.

Just had to wake DP up for work...

VQ woooooo for sleep!

Hello barefoot!

Think we should have a lurkers amnesty! Come out motherfuckers!

He took 5oz at 3.30 stunt! other than the teat blocking and him being more awake than usual, he fed fine! He went to sleep once I relented and put him in with me! Just a shame I couldn't fall back to sleep too!

I'll wake him at 7.30 to feed again if he doesn't wake before. Think I might drag myself out of the pit, find some caffine and a nice hot shower. Will have to wake DS1 before I get in shower in case O wakes.

Twin-headed dick stack. Started my day at 5.30 again. Teddy's preferred time. Btw, am not so good at the creative swearing so cheating with this Foul-o-Matic. Piss candles .

Another two hours. Thank fuck.

Morning fellow fannywearing fuckers!

Morning ladies - sorry some of you had shit nights if I knew the magic formula for Dottie going 7 hours I would gladly send it to you all - I do count my lucky stars she is a fab sleeper as I would not be able to go back to cunty wank bollocks work or uni if she was up 2/3 times a night!! She always wakes up with the most amazing smiles like she's thoroughly refreshed!!! Fingers x'd everyone's babies catch on soon x

Kit day at work today and I'm on the friggin war path - after being promised 1 x 12.5hr shift a week they are now saying minimum contract is 15hrs pw which would mean 2 shifts pw once a month - I cannot/will not go to uni 5 days a week then spend my whole weekend at work not seeing/feeding my baby!!! They are also saying the 2weeks al I have remaining I have to take before my hours change which is a pisser cos I've sorted my shifts out until end of April and means my leaving date is pushed further away!!! Gonna hunt my useless twatting matron down and ask her why she's so fucking useless!!!!

Yay detective - glad O is feeding and you managed some sleep, hope it continues!!!

Sat here in living room avec brew and porridge. Realised I am butt naked.

Jeez I must be half asleep.

Sorry for the terrible image.

Hope it doesn't put any fucker of their breakfast!

Fuckity fuck fuck fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

That's better.

So glad to hear e got some weight on Eliza, and also that she took some banana and a bit more by bottle. All very encouraging. I'm so sorry I implied bf was a choice for you - it somehow slipped my mind that it isn't. Hope you get out of hospital soon.

Det your yesterday sounded awful. I do hope today is a bit better.

Mm sorry to hear how you are feeling about dp. Hopefully when m is a bit better things will settle? The jobs issue is a tricky one though.

I am really glad it's sweary Wednesday as I am really fucking struggling. G wants to be held or entertained every minute of the day at the moment and is generally lots less settled than he has been to date. Which is bloody crap timing as dh and I are trying to come to terms with everything re dd, and I am desperate to do as much speech and physio work with her as I can. The house is a shambles and I'm really struggling to find time to cook etc. And whenever I put g down he shouts at me, and I'm really struggling with it. Doen't help that dh is having a tough time at work. Getting out and about helps a bit - but every time a tottering one yr old points at crawling dd and says "look mum, a baby" a little bit of me dies inside. Dd knows what a baby is and that she isn't one - she just looks really confused and I fucking hate it.

Thank fuck It's sweary Wednesday. Having a really shit time of it.

Another bad night. Thing is, he always sleeps well when DP does a night shift and I know he thinks I'm doing it wrong somehow.

O is such a daddy's boy, its really starting to depress me. This morning he was all smiles and chatter for DP and for me - nothing. I'm yet to get a smile our of him today.

The only time O is truly happy and smiley is when DP is home from work and I get miserable fucking baby all day.

There, that's better. Off to catch up now.

Good times story for Detective - we moved G into her own room 2 nights ago (due to no space for the cot bed in our room and she's only next door), we have all had better sleep. Last night she went 7.45-4am for her first stint, amazing. A week ago she was awake every 3-4 hours through the night. Daytime naps in the cot are still eluding us though, they only happen in the sling/carrier/car. That's our next challenge...

YW - that must have been interesting! I'm useless at thinking of names so mine just comes from the fact I take my shoes off at any given opportunity.

Congratulations to the ladies with BFP's (I'm new to MN, can I just check that is big fat pregnant?!).

Good morning piss flaps

Hugs to all those who had a shit night, thought that would have been us last night as S had a mammoth nap and only woke up an hour before bedtime, but no, the little lazy bum still slept 8-7

I was going to tackle the cupboard under the stairs today, it's full of shite, but I really can't be fuckin arsed, so I'll leave it.

kyzordz I won't give baby rice at all. Nothing but fruit and veg til 6 months. I'll give her proper rice after that. I don't do baby food products - I don't trust the food companies.

glenda you go girl! That is just rotten! I did not realise you were going to be working over and above your uni and placement commitment.

When I did my Mental Health degree (in 18 months) I worked full time on top, so would do an early as a student and a late as a qualified. Sometimes on the same unit. It was hard, but I was youngish, free and single, with no commitments. I do not envy you x
