Well she woke up a couple of times before we went to bed but otherwise slept til 6.30. Now I am just wishing I hadn't gone to bed so late as I could have had 8hours of beautiful sleep.

I am thankful for my two beautiful daughters, thankful for the long weekend ahead, thankful for my DH most of the time and, as ever, thankful for the quiche.

I am enjoying this season of Greys as long as I suspend my disbelief and consider it as a soap opera and not a serious drama. I really dislike Meredith Grey though.

The Following is becoming ridiculous though. And Joe is a real pantomime villain. Very disappointing but again, will have to see if I can suspend disbelief.

I wrote a guest blog for MN the other day. It's stickered in the bloggers talk subject and it's about Boris johnson. I'm quite proud they asked me.

Haven't decided what to call genitalia in this house. Nothing too twee, but I hate the word vulva as it reminds me of Volvo which reminds me of ugly 80s estate cars which reminds me of darker days. Probably foufoune for girls which is what they use here informally, and willy for boys, or zizi in French, which I quite like too.

Stunt I'd tell your dh where to go!!! If he's nibbling I would encourage j to go a bit longer!! ESP if he's eating well in the day.

Been up since 2.45 off on holiday!!

To those of you with broken belows I was surprised how easy it was to get Physio. I love my gp more than ever ATM. She's truely wonderful.

No idea what else has been happening sorry!!

Have fab Easters

Have a lovely holiday horsey enjoy the lovely French food.

Have a good time horsey

Everyone else in the house has woken up feeling poorley. Great.

pr I will try to change my view of Grays. And I agree about the Following. It started with such potential. Totally gripped by Dexter (I wish) and I have a few ideas of how it might pan out.

We have front bottom, woowoo or willie in this house.

Morning,

sophia happy birthday, i am bit too late, sorry.

Sorry for those with broken fanjos, I managed to come out unscratched I think. Sometimes I look at my little girl and think how on earth could she come out through that tiny hole.

horsey have a lovely holiday

luis glad we haven't scared you away

detective and chasing hope the meeting goes well

eliza great weight gain

Not sure who else, sorry if I missed anyone.

I am thankful for my little girl, she is without a doubt a little terrorist but I love her to bits.

I am also thankful for my parents who offered to drive 1000km just to pick us from airport and take us to see the in-laws for the first time in May. I couldn't have faced them on my own.

I am thankful for my amazing friends.

He did it he did it he did it. 7.30-6!!!!! Wooooohooooo

Morning. Fab birthday all topped off with a weepy session in front of OBEM.

I am thankful that I have a fabulous husband and today we have been married for one year.

I am thankful that we are getting to actually go out for dinner to celebrate said Anniversay.

Then all my celebrations will be over for a bit.

Wow pikz you both really deserved that!

sophia how is the bleeding? Will there be the fireworks tonight? happy anniversary!

J slept 8-6 with one feed at 12.30. He stirred a couple of times and self settled. I am very thankful for that!

Sounds fab Sophia! Am still laughing at VQ hearing the fireworks!!

Well done J!

Thank you VQ... I am proof they can get there. He will probably never do it again!

Didn't get to read in the night so lots to catch up on. O did 19:10 - 00:50 then into bed at 3 as he was unsettled and then fed again at 6. Back to sleep again now, so pretty good night. Think it gets too cold in his cot at the moment, so once it gets warmer I will concentrate on him being in his cot all night. Am happy with one middle of the night feed though

Fucking horrific night.

My eyes are stinging. Eyeliner was not the best idea.

Fucking hell. Still. I have phone now. DP went out at 7 and got me a new charger. Stupid piece of crap with spectacular breaking timing.

I am going to tank up on caffeine. And forget last night ever happened. Fuck you night! Fuck you!!!!

Morning all!

Sorry to hear about the bad nights :( ours was ok, he woke crying at 4 but settled with a dummy, woke at 6:30. He went to bed at 7:45, no idea when he fell asleep as I said goodnight, kissed him, put him in his cot and left. Usually I stay with him but he must've been fine as I didn't hear a peep.

Have a nice time horsey

I am thankful for decent sleep, a beautiful if somewhat foul waste producing son and a lovely usually dp

Simultaneous cheers for babyPikz and commiserations for Detective. I'm with Izzy I think my baby is broken. There's no way he should be up so many times in the night, he just will not settle himself back to sleep in his cot.

I'm thankful my dad survved his heart attack.

Thanks again everyone, this quiche really does rock, I am thankful for you lot

it's about a year since I ventured onto the antenatal threads. Wow, we've been through so much together.

On post pregnancy bodies, I was well pleased with mine at 3 weeks post. I'm 2 sizes smaller than before and my body looks better than it did before (sorry). My boobs are well saggy but nothong a bra won't sort out. Not bad for a body that's made, and given birth to 4 beautiful babies. Fanjo a bit leaky still but otherwise ok. Haven't road tested it yet though

Have been up practically all night. Tommy has shrunken the gap to about 45 mins between feeds. Won't have dummy so no idea what's up with him. Can't leave him to cry as my other 3 bambinos would wake up.

Boo to crap nights detective cat and stunt

Yay for good ones VQ and pikz

Happy anniversary Sophia and have fab holiday horsey

N slept at 22.30 woke at 1 and then slept through til quarter to 8 I am delighted with this

We are off to the joy that is soft play today, and then all coming back here so I need to go and put the Hoover round and generally clean up a bit. Not much has got done lately - Velcro baby has seen to that.

Really down today, think I'm going to struggle getting through the day, bastard PND.

I seem to have gone back to lurking rather than posting! I read everything but then don't get chance to post myself or I forget what I want to say.

I also think my baby is broken. I thought we were getting somewhere with sleep but we seem to have gone backward again. Last night she was up every hour. I keep meaning to see if I can get her to go back down without feeding, but in the middle of the night it seems much easier to just feed her. I just can't see how she will ever go from this to sleeping through. Sorry to hear of other people with bad nights.

I am thankful for the amber anklet again.

Bed at 8ish, dream feed at 11.15. He woke at 6ish & self-settled then 7.15. Fan-fucking-tastic. :)

Great stuff pikz & VQ

Try an amber anklet stunt izzy et al. Honestly, what have you got to lose except £8 ??!!

Happy Easter & have a lovely time horsey.

I am thankful that whilst my DD is pushing boundaries, she is now potty trained & full of beans, and makes me smile.

I am thankful that DH will be off work for 4 days tomorrow & has another day or 2 off next week so we can get A's room done.

I am thankful that my DM & DF are relatively healthy & have a house in Brittany so we can holiday there this year although I hope DS isn't an early crawler as they're house will not be safe.

I am also thankful I have an Android phone so chargers are universal detective (your DP is a cutie at times right?!)

Big squishy hug to titsalina and and

Detective sorry to hear about crap night - I too am shit and irrationally angry at disturbed sleep. I think after three good nights we might be over the worst but what do i know?! We got 8.30-3.50 and 4.20-7.15 which suits me fine. At the mo its like watching a Mexican wave seeing the sleep regression ripple through our cohort of babies.

VQ So glad LF has done the trick

Stunt is he comfort feeding?

itsyou I had exactly the same dilemma as you and ended up callin them girlie bits. I don't really like this either but didn't know what else to come up with. When I was a little girl I called them tiki's which is pretty stupid! Willy is so much easier.

pilkz yay (does a little dance with you).

vq loving your thanks. Especially the boobie one. You always know how to put things into perspective.

Mixed night here, not bad but not great.

Right better get off mumsnet and start packin seeing as i have to pick my sister up at 11am and I've done fuck all!

Oh and I meant to add for tits hope your day doesn't turn out as bad as you fear it will. Hugs x
