December 2012: This too shall pass, this too shall pass

[HoneyMumandSon]

keep repeating the mantra...

hales that is rubbish. Tell him so outright as he's obviously no good at hints.
No through the night for us tonight. Fx she settles back ok after this feed as this last week (apart from last night she's been a nightmare to get back down.

Hales, sorry your DP is being such an arse. Hope you get your apology soon, although you'll probably need to spell it out to him. Me and my DP have some bad fall outs over his attitude to football but I'll keep spelling it out until he gets a grip and realises its just a game.

This is the first time E has had me up on a night for a while. He usually has a feed at 10/11 and I don't hear a peep until between 6 and 7. Last night I couldn't wake him for his last feed so he's had me up at 4, although he was still so sleepy he barely drank anything and again now. Hope it's just a one night thing, sleeping through makes up for the days of non stop crying I endure sometimes.

4 hours 40, 2.5, 4. If it wasn't for that 2.5 in the middle (just like the night before) it would have been great!

hales sorry to hear about idiot dp..

Glad and of those of you having 4+ hours in a stretch. We seem to have regressed here to 2hrs max. Argh! Could it be that if his hammock is too small it's making him fidget? When do you move up to a cot?

We're moving house at the end of March so trying desperately to hold off buying one till then..

Utopian ds has been in a cot for about four weeks. The end of march is only a couple of weeks away I would wait if I were you. It's hopefully just a phase anyway

The Little Mister has been in a cot for a whole too.

We've had a big regression sleep wise but I'm feeling much more relaxed about it now. I've been sure that he is hungry every time he wakes up, and the fact that he is the size of a 7 month old just confirms it!

I'm slowly filling out DS's baby book. I'm on the "current events" page. No idea what to put for "Fashion Trends".... um, skinny jeans?! I'm so doing this for my benefit and not his! He'll never read it, maybe I can show it to girlfriends....

Hales that's rubbish, your DD would tell you how much she appreciated you if she could!

I am resisting the cot for now as there is not enough space in our room for it, although my DSis who is due to drop in May keeps asking if the Moses basket will be vacated in time for her LO, I really don't think I can squeeze him in it much longer!

We didn't have a brilliant night, F slept in the car 8.30-10, then 10-1.15, 1.45-5. Managed to get him back into his Moses basket for now, long enough to have some breakfast and maybe a kip myself! Have a feeling multiple poos have been the culprit for his unsettled night.

Morning All,
not a very good start to the day. We've done three clothes changes already.

1. got weed on
2. poosplosion
3. pyjamas too small - Argh!

Re: the physio. Everybody does it over here. The French seem to be obsessed with gynecalogical stuff.
The target thing wes pretty funny though. Like the Wii version idea spotty

No Mother's day card over here, but I wasn't expecting one as we don't really go in for all that stuff. We don't bother with Valentines day, easter or haloween either. I suppose I'll make an effort when the LO is older. I wouldn't want her to miss out just because we can't be arsed.

My food shopping's been cancelled

Ds has started sucking his other thumb now can't make his mind up!

Cancelled Spotty? What compo are you getting for that??

Nothing but I've emailed them asking them to honour the special offers that expire today when I get redelivery tomorrow... Will see what they say!

spotty is it ocado? They're normally quite good at honouring offers like that.

No I can't afford ocado! It was tesco and they said they'll honour it

Holy moly I swaddled C and put her down drowsy for a nap in her crib. Had to do 5 mins dummy wrangling but she's not screamed the place down and has been asleep for whole minutes! I know there is a long way to go and she'll probably wake up while I'm writing this post, but this is big news in the mapo household.

Spotty, that's ridiculous. I wouldn't ask them to honor the deals, I'd tell them I'd presume they would.

Ah I know but it's not their fault on the BBC news this morning where they were showing all the gridlocked roads, that was near the tesco. My roads are fine luckily. Well a few patches of ice but I'm happy to drive in it. Beans on toast for dinner though

Did they at least tell you in good time? It's so strange for me to hear about all this ice and snow from 36 degree heat. Snow in March!

Mama -great news about the bottle, hopefully the night before was just a one-off. Also will keep fx that she has a decent length nap for you.

Spotty - how annoying. Hope they manage to get through tomorrow so you don't ge bored of tin/freezer teas!

Hales - sounds like your DP is being a complete arse. Hope you're ok .

Seymore - I know exactly what you mean about memory books. I kept DS1's religiously, but haven't started N's yet . I was feeling quite guilty until DH pointed out that the chances of either of them being remotely interested are minimal. Still, think it's a lovely thing to do even if it's just for us.

They told me forty minutes before it was due ds slept 50 minutes on my bed this morning!

I put little Z on the playmat jungle gym this evening and he didnt really grab, but he kicked and kicked vigorously and waved his arms about and made noises, for about half an hour until I put a stop to it as he was spitting up loads and was getting overtired. Anyone else's baby kicking like this but not really grabbing properly? He can hit the toys (has done so for a few weeks now) and he grabs and holds a loose
toy when I give I to him but doesn't reach and grab.

Manic here! Got Jamie and my friend's 21 week old too! They are both fed and J's having a kick on his playmat while the other one naps in his swing.

Seconds, j is more of a batter than a grabber unless it's my hair

Ds hits things and sometimes grabs not sure it's intentional though! They're still really young

F hugged his teddy today!!! He was trying to grab at it, ended up cuddling it so sucked on its face!

After yesterday's rubbish napping from him and pants night, he has slept all morning. He clearly needs to catch up on his sleep. mamapo is she still asleep? Our roads are clear again but it's freezing in my house, have to put the heating on.
