We get the noise here too pass he's like a cast member from the walking dead tv show!

mm giving one to your mum as spare is a good idea. Some stuff like play gyms that I have coming out of my ears I have given spares to people we visit often, mil etc

I'm going to dedicate some catch up time later ..

hangover from sweary weds : fucking jabs today.

thankful for fact that finally sling allergic baby wants to be in slings today.

acting as If already had jabs ffs

Anyone else's baby use them as some sort of climbing frame? He's done this a few times now:

Perched on my left shoulder for winding. He leans over, attaches mouth to my left cheek. Starts walking his feet across my lap. Swings his head around so he's looking over my right shoulder.

He then usually pukes, with the muslin still on my left shoulder.

He's only 20wks!!! Can you imagine what he'll be climbing at 40wks??!!

chasing keep pretending you've been charmed and then RUN. JUST RUN.

I am thankful I'm not doing much today so I don't have to change my sick-covered top.

I've finally put a load of nappies i don't use up for sale on fb. Already had some interest in the pretties, hopefully the rest will go as I've listed them cheap!

Dp is at his meeting. R is feeding to sleep in the nursery listening to Ewan while i rock in the chair. Between that and the no choccy thing i ought to be 8 stone. I'm not

kyzordz I have that problem too. I was pretty good at getting up at half 7 at one point, but as her sleep got worse and and worse I have got more and more lazy - the idea of getting up before I have to is a killer!! But it does make such a difference to her day time sleep so I should make more effort.

I am picking up a swing tomorrow that I got off eBay. I am hoping this will help with daytime sleep. If not, it can go back on eBay.

mm I have a spare buggy at Dad's, a small umbrella fold for travel and stashing in the car, a M&P somethingorother that DD1 still has her naps in and a p&T double. Before the P&T I also had a fast fold for dog walks, but the p&t is good off road so I retired that. And I still find myself looking at other peoples buggies and thinking 'ooh, that looks good" I will not buy anything else though. And I did manage to resist the bugaboo Donkey, which looks fab!! (and costs more than my car).

tits and mm Whilst your DPs' actions are quite cute in their own way, they would be paying for it forever more in my house - cake and a lie in would just be a warm up.... I'd still be bringing up 20 years later!!

DH has emailed to say he is awake and surgery went well. Having some lunch and hopefully will be discharged in a few hours. Wow. I guess that's it for my childbearing days. Yay. Feeling a slight twinge of sadness but a massive wave of relief too.

He phoned the urologist to book the first consultation on the day LO was born, about an hour after I came out of recovery. We figured it was best to strike while the iron was hot, before I got over the whole ordeal and got broody and decided to ignore Dr's advice and get pregnant again.

Though I have to say I've never been the broody type.

Anyway, that's that. I am thankful for my two beautiful girls and for radical contraceptive solutions. And for a DH who was willing to undergo the snip in a culture where it is almost unheard of. He rocks.

Sounds very grumpy right now though so I might be moaning later on.

PR my DH keeps bringing up the snip but I just can't stop the 'what if's... But your DH rocks big time :)

P is in her cot for a nap. She isn't sleeping but I need quiche help in deciding if the noise is her happy chattering or if she needs me. She can't see me and I just can't decide whether just to wander off and leave her to it. I am currently sitting on te floor. I have taken video evidence - will post of Facebook.

PR amazing. All done. Are you going to have some 'end of baby-making champers?

You must have some seriously good babies to be able to write 12 pages in one day! How the hell do you all manage it?!

Im rushed off my feet :(

On another note, we have found out that DP's sister is not expecting in October...this means Feb and April are the only months that dont include birthdays at the moment.
My DP's response? 'Im booking in for Feb' are you FUCK!'

Local champagne at the weekend. He had a general anaesthetic so not sure you'e supposed to drink on the same day :o

So looking forward to the all clear in 6 weeks or so

In the meantime have to get DD1 to sleep in her own bed and LO can also change bedroom I think.

Ladies and Luis, I plan on getting my life back.

< quiche cheer> for pr

Disclaimer: I love my children, and always wanted one two, and as I said yesterday, my life will be as it was before with the added bonus of the children etc etc. But I feel now I will be able to concentrate on them and my DH and no longer wonder if we're done, iyswim.

Yay VQ go J!

Hello new thread (and GT!). We're back from Dublin. Return flight 100x better, pre-emptive Calpol helped I think. I have never seen L so happy as he was last night when he saw our house again. He just kept looking round and beaming with delight.

He has been working on rolling, pushing teeth through and (most importantly!) sleeping. Last three nights he has gone 10-5, 10-5 & 11-7 between feeds. Still needed settling a few times with hand or dummy but we're getting somewhere it feels.

He's also found the higher register of his voice and treats us to operatic squeals which is er delightful.

Sorry that's a lot of baby update. I am obviously very behind on everyone else's news but will try and catch up. Hope you all had lovely Easters with chocolate or dairy-free eggs galore.

Forgive me for posting before catching up. Will catch up now Oscar is napping.

Saw GP this morning about O's eczema. She thinks it is infected and I have come home with a pharmacy full of stuff for him. We have an aqueous cream to use as soap, doublebase cream to use twice a day, a steroid cream with antibiotic for the infection and another steroid cream as well. Bless him. Also going to hold off on baths for a week to give his skin chance to rehydrate.

O has a new game. Mummy holds the bottle in front of me. I grab the bottle and put it in my mouth. I take the bottle out of my mouth. Repeat ad infinitum. But don't actually drink any milk, oh no.

The house of lurgy is no more. Have scrubbed the sheep blood cross off the door and everyfink. Got a bit better night - six hours - with three hours cosleeping (first time ever) and we have a new bear today. Hurray! We get the new house keys tomorrow and move next Friday so illness would have been horrifically bad timing. Whatever it was it was viral, short lived and made his reflux hell for 48 hours. We should own shares in calpol after the last two days

Charlee i mn from a tablet while feeding

Wow vq!! Just wow!

charlee no magic baby here but my house is a fecking tip!

Wow VQ that's great news ! :)

VQ J has really cracked it now! You must be so pleased!

vq that is awesome amazing.

Time for second cot nap

VQ I am equal amounts envious, astonished and hopeful.

Pass, baby C is in her crib for her second nap of the day too. First time ever I've put her down for an afternoon nap in the crib. To top it off, she was awake too. Am so proud of her.

tits and mm, I am quite gobsmacked.

We're having a day of regular tiny feeds, saline drops galore and very VERY short naps.
