Hello everyone,
we've been away so I haven't been keeping up with events lately. I hope you are all doing well and babies are happy and healthy.
Sorry to hear that the weather is bad in England. Fortunately the snow is finally starting to melt here so I can get down the road with the pushchair at last!
A is sleeping pretty well and otherwise good, but I have been a little 
that she seems to have developed two new cries. There's the 'complaining/ranting' cry and then the 'angry' cry. Today she seemed to be properly shouting and cross. I wasn't sure what to do in the end, so I left her to it for a few minutes while I made a cup of tea and when I came back she was asleep. Can a 3 month old have a tantrum????? Surely that stuff starts later?

My card was 'from' Ds, but Dh had disguised his handwriting and written thanks for the milk, which made me laugh. 
O's going through a wonder weeks leap - exciting seeing the developments but he's feeding All The Time and really fidgety..

After being awake since 12 it's now he decides to fall asleep 
I keep reading threads saying they generally need a nap 90 minutes after waking... It's been six hours!

I just got back from the physio after having something called 're-education of the perineum'. Does this exist in the UK? Are any of you doing it?
I'd never heard of it before moving to France. You put a sort of sensor up the youknowwhat and then have to squeeze the muscles and watch a graph on a screen that shows you how hard you're squeezing. You have to try to hit little targets on the screen by squeezing hard. It's like playing a video game with your private parts! It was pretty bizzare. Apparently it stops you suffering from incontinence later in life.

I don't think so interweb. If you have problems you can get referred but my docs said they won't even refer tipi for physio until youre 12 w postpartum. Did you get extra competitive?

Noticed a bit of a change in N today too. He's been awake for most of the day, but not really getting grumpy or seeming over-tired. The big thing is how he's reacting to noise - twice today he's got upset at noises he's previously been fine with (a toy xylophone and DS1 screaming mid-tantrum - though that can drive me to tears to be fair ). He settled quickly both times though.
Also, when I brought him into the bathroom ready for his bath he got really excited - kicking his legs, grinning and chuckling - while he was still on the mat being undressed as though he knew what was coming next, as he absolutely loves being in the water. That's probably a bit daft and psb (is there such a thing as being precious second born?!) but he definitely seems to be more aware of what's going on overall.

Four hours forty minutes.... Although for the past half an hour ds has been sucking his thumb so loudly I'm surprised he didn't wake the neighbours

FX that your asleep now Mama and that your DD is taking a bottle off DP.
WL and Ispy H is doing more recently shes pulling her toys upto her face to inspect them more closely (and also to taste them ha). She had a daisy duck comforted which she grabs and always manages to get the beak in her mouth somehow. But like you said Ispy she seems to suddenly hate loud noise and gets really upset by it.
Well me and DP are barely speaking he showed up at half 3 with a card and wait for it, a card and Easter Egg! His theory was that i would enjoy the egg more. But anyway he then told me he had to leave at 4 because he wanted to watch the match at home! When i asked why he bothered coming round he stormed out. He text me today like nothing happened i'm afraid he can do one till i have a apology

Interweb That sounds very french like a good idea. I've been a bit lazy with kegels but weirdly my pelvic floor is in much better shape this time than it was after DC2.
MaMa How did you get on? DS started refusing bottles after he had a week off when the steriliser broke. I thought it was the milton, it wasn't. I tried moving up to stage 2 teats last night but no joy. DH is back from Melbourne tonight so I'm going to get him to try the medela calma teat, DS just roots for the breast if I offer him a bottle. Fingers crossed.
I had DS weighed today. At 14 weeks he is 18lb 6oz - the same size as the average 7 month old boy!! I have been given the green light to offer him baby rice in 2 weeks time, if he's not ready he will spit it out. I am feeding round the clock now and he seems to be hungrier at night. I might hold fire on the easter eggs though daydream!
