Instead of marking place, please could those of us with older siblings post something (positive) they are looking forward to as our babies get older. I think it would cheer us up since so many are struggling at the moment.

Luis, i haven't encountered you elsewhere and I'm here all the bloody time do you remember posters across threads? Any ideas what I'm "famous" for on mn?

LuisGarcia · 10/03/2013 01:10

I am a man, and I don't know what you are famous for, Pidjin, sorry.

Lilliana · 10/03/2013 01:13

First feed here.

Thanks for the advice bplp and stunt. Thought that was the case but wanted to check.

Sorry to those having a tough time with dhs. I feel the same wrt dhs not having to change. He still goes out with mates, trains for triathlons etc as before. L is ebf so that does make it harder to leave her as not expressed or tried a bottle. I think/hope this will change as she gets older.

Tbh though i love being at home with L and would be v jealous if i was working and dh was sahd - swings and roundabouts.

Nice to have a man on the quiche but i too assumed you were female. That will teach me.

Well happy mothers day. Atm dh is snoring beside me while i feed l. He was out drinking after watching the rugby yesterday so we will wait to see what the rest of the day brings ...

TheDetective · 10/03/2013 01:17

Are you famous too Pidj? I thought it was only PR that was famous.

Are we being sexist or just baby-brained here? Luis's first post on this thread says that he is a daddy.

In other news J is awake again. Ffs I fed him from 11-12 and he's hungry again. Grumph.

Massive vomit and screamfest again :( now semi sleeping in arms. Bollocks.

LuisGarcia · 10/03/2013 01:29

hug

TheDetective · 10/03/2013 01:29

I didn't notice stunt but then my observational skills are lacking these days.

Might have to give up my NN!!

Lilliana · 10/03/2013 01:37

Oops! accepts slap on wrist and blames baby brain.

L has fed for 45 mins and decided she is not tired. She normally goes straight off after boob but is currently in her cot playing with ewan while i lie here waiting for the tired grizzles

TheDetective · 10/03/2013 01:38

Me and DP had a conversation earlier. We made up new mumsnet sites and the type of users they were for. This went on for a good hour!

Here are some of the highlights! Am afraid they might not be PC those will be DP's contributions!.

Crumbsnet. For the foodies.
Bumsnet. For the lazy fuckers.
Runsnet. For those code brown moments.
Thumbsnet. For those with thumb fetishes or indeed anyone who owns thumbs.
Punsnet. For joke sharing.
Dumbsnet. 4 da txt spkrs.
Cumsnet. Say no more.
Humsnet. For those who want advice on bodily odours.
Stumpsnet. For those who are lacking a limb.
Nunsnet. Talk to god. He is reading.
Umsnet. For the indecisive.

This went on for quite some time. Believe me. Blush

dd awake dh got semi woken by her loud screaming when I decided to change her and put her in sleep bag ... does concern me I could never leave her with him for the night she would be screaming her lungs off for hours and he would be blissfully sleeping his sleep talk highlight tonight was
"apparently 3 of the cast members are still missing"
so frustrating no knowing what's going on in his dreamworld!
det amusing apart from stumpsnet ... am I being overly sensitive? should be one of the is it ok? thingys from the last leg perhaps.

Lilliana · 10/03/2013 01:46

OMG!!!!! (i never use this but is how i feel) L appears to have gone to sleep ON HER OWN ! No rocking / walking /patting/ singing from me.

Lilliana · 10/03/2013 01:47

Spoke too soon she has woken up :(

Catbag · 10/03/2013 01:50

Mr Catbag also lurked in here when I was in hospital with the twins- he confessed a little while ago. He said he had wanted to post and let you all know how we were doing, but got scared and was lonely so just read loads of posts instead! It does mean that he has a working idea of who I mean when I tell him about stuff though, which is helpful :)

Contradictionincarnate · 10/03/2013 01:53

think my dm is tipsy and late night netting ... getting all sorts of notifications from 23 snaps ... anyone else use that site its fab! post on it all the time with photos etc of dd and as its only open to those I gave invited by email I post loads
will be v handy for dh when he is away in London next week!
dh always checks before arranging anything ... hope his two big trips away one massive stag doesn't change any of that :)

Contradictionincarnate · 10/03/2013 01:55

oh lilli feel for you ...one minute of ilation(sp) sorry but it also made me smile!
I'm going for the transfer hope its not Karma!

TheDetective · 10/03/2013 01:55

I did say DP came up with some of them! That was one of them!

LuisGarcia · 10/03/2013 01:57

I am a man, but I think L might be teething. J cut his first tooth at just a few days older than this, and L is showing the same signs.

TheDetective · 10/03/2013 02:00

Is it wrong I can't remember what age DS1 got teeth! Sure it's written in his baby book! Will have a look!

Lilliana · 10/03/2013 02:03

Hope transfer goes well. Knew i shouldn't have said anything but dh was snoring and needed to share my excitement with someone.

Love all the things people are looking forward to. L laughed for the first time tonight :) Can't wait until she puts her arms out for me

PurplePidjin · 10/03/2013 03:23

I'm not exactly famous on here but known in certain places - i make (well, made now Sad) woolly hugs.

Just to demonstrate that this is such a big board that information from one thread rarely travels to others :)

Pikz · 10/03/2013 04:21

Omg 7.30-4!!! He's just stopped talking to himself so hope now til 7.

Lilliana · 10/03/2013 04:40

Up again. L is clearly not really hungry. I guess my md present is to spend as much time as possible with her Hmm

Yay pikz there is hope

kirrinIsland · 10/03/2013 04:44

Same here lilliana We were up pretty much every hour again.

pikz that's brilliant! Well done miniPikz :)

barefootwalker · 10/03/2013 04:54

Lucky for me DH is very hands on. We only have DD (and the dog!) to look after at the moment but he does bath time each evening and is always keen to do as much as he can. I had the afternoon to myself yesterday so went for a coffee and read my kindle in peace, then met my best friend for a proper good child free catch up (she had a toddler) who she also left at home and then had my first post baby haircut. It was lovely Grin

He is also a sound sleeper at night though (sorry can't remember who was just saying that about their DH) and I'm a little worried that he won't wake up when he has to look after her overnight in a couple of weeks. On the plus side, G seems to have inherited his ability to sleep well at night.

Happy Mother's Day to allThanks.
