Happy birthday stunt didn't realise it was yesterday despite the kindle talk

LO awake and no idea why. I think she just fancied a bit of a whinge. Well, she got whinged at.

Here too. First wake after 7.5 hours so cannot complain. Quick feed and down again.

Here. Second feed. Too tired to think of anything to say.

Here, expecting LO to wake, but he has not yet.

Thanks all, you're all fab - when I read about any of you having feeding issues I never think its your fault at all it's just my automatic thought towards my own situation, that it could be improved by me changing something I'm doing because I must be doing it wrong. I am going to try to be more positive about the situation and stop whinging but I am very grateful for the lovely words of the quiche, thankyou bplp, pass, Eliza, chasing in particular on this one! Really sorry if I've forgotten anyone it's late early and I am tired still lazy and a sleep hogger

Happy birthday stunt sorry, I didn't realise!

Having a bad night here. H has been up at the most every 2 hours since 9. DH did try to settle him but he only wants boob. He has a bit of a cough so maybe he wants mummy time or maybe he's a little cold, we've stopped using the sleeping bags as its been 'warmer' at night. It's ds1 birthday today!! 14!! I can't believe it.
We've started solids and I was very emotional about to begin with. It was more me not wanting to accept that my LO is growing up so quickly, but we are all enjoying it. We are doing breakfast and dinner and we are just going with the flow.

Happy belated birthday to stunt and mm1

Happy birthday to you Stunt! And belated to MM. Sorry I forgot to say x

Up again. It is so cold in his room at the moment. Odd as it has been so much colder but his room stayed warm.

Detective that is so odd of your Dad! You would think he would be lavishing you with food drunk and gifts!

Well, I took ages to go off to sleep then had very odd dreams, largely around puree. No idea why.

Up for the third feed - it's only been an hour since the last one :(

Hope today is better than yesterday....

Hopefully I will get to catch up later. First day working at home yest. Just about ok, I didn't anticipate though I should have had a few activities ready to dispatch DS1 to as he kept wanting mr to play.

When I left to change O's nappy I arm back to find my laptop unplugged and the s and the{ missing off the key board. I couldn't find them anywhere. Luckily he told me he had posted them in a slot at the side of the laptop.

Today is my first day in the office. I have been getting ready and O is looking at me. (That is the actual face)

Off to see how much I can catch up on before I have to leave.

11 hours faints will catch up in a mo x

Kyz blooming eck! Very good!

J now up for the day. I wish I could crawl back into bed but have a fun day ahead

S done 6:45 - 6:30 she must have heard me yesterday, not even a wake for a dummy!

stunt happy birthday for yesterday (or is it today)

Hugs and to any bad nighters.

I wish LO would eat more. We're on day six of starvation here. I exaggerate but no more than 18 oz each day. Other than being snotty and coughy though she seems ok and is breathing better than she was.

Hope you all enjoy your meet up

7 times up, fucking 7 times. I am broken. My baby is broken. And it's raining wail

Lily can you have a pj, hot chocolate, dvd and duvet day?

Sorry about the bad nights feeling quite guilty now. I will share sleepydust tonight

det i'd be fuming with your dad if I were you. He sounds pretty controlling, at least you're home soon!

Happy birthday to your ds thechick!

What's happening in your fun day vq?

That's awesome fruit!! We had one wake up for dummy but he spat it back within 30 seconds so I'm not sure I should've bothered!

Hopefully her eating will pick up pr if she's on the mend. Fc it does, bless her, it must be a worry that she isn't eating much

lily hugs, sounds like a proper shit one! Can you get any sleep today?

Hope today goes ok sophia

Gah shit sleep has returned to the pig house. I went up to bed at 10.30, and F was awake, so thought I'd feed her to see whether it made any difference. Did it fuck. She settled back at 11.30, and was up at 3, 4.30 and 6. And in our bed from 4.30. Up for the day by 7.

Detective LOL at mental image of you getting stuck on kiddies slide with O chortling away on your lap. Outrageous prices for photos, and outrageous behaviour from your dad though.

VQ I dreamt about giving F a stick of cucumber. Also cannot imagine where the inspiration for the dream came from

Sophia good luck for today.

Happy birthday to chicks ds and stunt

Don't forget the hotdog photo

Ah yes just remembered your fun day is quiche meet up vq hope you all enjoy it! :)

Lily bleurgh. That is hideous. I hope she'll nap for you today x

3 good nights. O is doing well. Last feed was 7pm, bed at 8.20, woke at 4.30, fed quickly, straight back down til 8 when my alarm went off. .

So glad. Quite aware I'm on borrowed time here though! Will return the sleep we are hogging soon!

Thanks for the sympathies!

Enjoy the hotdog quiche meet up!

lily you definitely need a lazy day today, hugs. I hope she sleeps for you tonight.

Have fun at the meet up, looking forward to the hotdog pic

Thanks. She is napping now. I cancelled the meeting with a friend. Yesterday she hardly napped as we were out and about. I wonder maybe that's why she was so unsettled last night. So we are back to basics today and I make sure she has her naps.

Blimey kyzordz that's awesome :)

Sorry you had such a shit night lily Have a

Not bad here I suppose. 5 wake ups with one 4 hour sleep.

Hope work goes ok Sophia

Enjoy the meet up - looking forward to the photos.
