Dec 08 mums - any more for any more?

[JumpJockey]

New thread! Hope this is ok :)

Dash it, not going to get this catch up done tonight!

Don't worry DB - DD1 is nowhere near either. Same here. But since she was so slow to be potty trained I am guessing it's just going to take ages and I am not going to get myself worked up about it...Especially as she doesn't even want to try not to wear a pull up.

Kayz - crossing everything for you. But listen - I do know about credit ratings. It has taken me nearly 18mths to build mine back up. (I went over overdraft limits and maxed cards and things because I had to). So you have much sympathy from me. But if this company doesn't work out, if you can give yourselves a year or more, you can honestly repair your rating. Oh - and your MIL is being a cowbag. But you know that. How utterly dreadful that she doesn't treasure her lovely grandsons

Rubes - are you still in San Fran? As for intellectual - pffft! Hey - I have had most of my trees felled and the garden looks pretty radical...How horrifying about the cyclist. Sorry about your bad day the other day, by the way. Glad you're ok.

Beans - I do want to chat to you about your sister situation but how did it all go at the weekend?

Arti, you've gone all quiet! Or maybe just quiet on here. Aren't people supposed to eat those glucose tablets in labour to keep up their energy? However, my grip on what people do in labour is very loose at best so that could easily be what people did in 1956 We're cheering you on, my love!

Deids vagboymark2 is only dry if we wee him at around 11pm. Even then he will wet at around 6am at least one a week. Though that is reducing and is usually if he is over tired. Ds1 was in pull ups until he was almost 5 & was always super wet.It has never really bothered me as I was the same and eveeventually grew out of it. Mum went through a lot of stress trying to sort it out, alarms (which woke the whole house except me), stopping medrinking fluids after certain times, medication. In the end I was and still am a very deep sleeper & as I said I eventually grew out of it. When DS1 had his 5.5 year check here, we were still lifting him at 11pm for a wee. The doctor at the medical check said this was fine & entirely normal. Tell your mum to chill out Deids, if it bothering you and you want to see if you can do something talk to your GP. Otherwise it will eventually settle.

X-posted Rubes!

X-posted Vag!

And Kayz - I meant your XMIL of course.

Maybe being dry through the night is like babies sleeping through the night. In reality it happens a lot later than many believe it should.

Vag I remember at 9 my mum had this puzzle thing from the GP to help me stop wetting the bed! I'm assured it was not every night. Sadly I'm a light sleeper too!

Yes lady left Sun back Wed. I never do 2 nighters missing the kidlets a bit. Ds was throwing up after I left. He was the same last weekend which was odd and both times has lasted only a few hours so no idea what it was. Haven't told anyone I'm in in town as wanted to rest rather than catch up. Bit rude huh. Even ditched the GG bridge ride with some of crew but might catch up for a bite later with some for a bite.

dd is still in a nappy at night. I don't lift, I think it encourages weeing in their sleep. ds1 became dry at 5.5 all by himself so I'm letting dd get there in her own time.

Arti - fully looking forward to coming on here tomorrow and seeing news of your boy...

Deids - DS still in pull ups and wet (sometimes wet through) at night. Oddly enough, the only night we left him without a pull up (we'd run out) he woke up dry, but I haven't dared tempt fate, especially as he's not really up for it.

Vag, rubes, going to need your Oz tips sometime. Some mad people are willing to fly me out this summer to give a talk. Never been to your part of the world, so all new to me. Will be out there for about 2 weeks Melbourne/Sydney, but odd mix of being on my own/mostly for work. DH slowly getting over the fact that I'm leaving him to it for the first couple of weeks of the hols. Am feeling a bit guilty. But only a bit.

I'm taking silence from Arti as sign of progression. Love that we're all supporting from different places. Please do the same for me in 4 months!

DD1 dry at night v early, ie. at 2.5. However, DD2 showing no sign of it at all. No probs in day, but loves to wee in her pull up. Especially in the mornings before getting out of bed! Little monkey!

Thanks ladies. Deep down I know he'll get there in his own time. I think my mum was trying to be helpful, but failed!! DD quite literally TT herself and was dry at night by 2.4yrs.

Course we will, Beans.

Lovely to see you, Invis!

We're having an Arti party! I will shortly be changing into pyjamas though.

Ooh how exciting! Go arti! Hope quiet means things are speeding up.

I guess 3:45 am.

Ds is also in pull-ups at night and it almost always has wee in it in the morning. Dd however is usually dry so she may beat him too it. She is supposedly potty trained but really has not mastered poo yet. GROSS!

Hello Summer, lovely to see you too. I was meaning to say to you thanks for lettong me know about the new Cazalet novel - made me happy and sad as I used to represent the author but now obviously I don't know the first thing about her!

Also, I was thinking that you, Rubes and Beans all have DDs who will only be in the year below our Dec 2008 nippers at school! However, as my DD2 was born in Sept she will be 2 yrs below.

How are you doing, Arti? Is it phone or labour that's responsible? Remember I said seven minutes past midnight...

It's phone rationing.

Am officially slowest labourer ever. Every time it takes me forever. Hour 11 and they are abt to break my waters when all I want is to sleep. Must. Keep. Eye. On. Prize.

Thanks for all yr support, it's keeping me nicely distracted.

Oh and DD2 still sopping wet every night. DD1 was dry before age 3.

Ah bugger arti. Hang on in there.

That's cool that you used to represent cazalet lady ladyt. I will definitely read it when it comes out. Loved those books! (Read at your recommendation)

Yeah only 1 school year between my two. Which is good cos next year will be a pain with two different childcare arrangements

I wish there was only a school year between mine! Missed it by a month.

Sorry Arti - I would love to stay up with you but it's bedtime for dollies, as we say in this house. I don't understand why you can't just sleep for a bit but obviously I am a total div about how it works. I hope he comes soon - maybe breaking the waters will help a lot? Hang in there - last leg. Xxxxxx

Am off to bed too - lots of luck arti! You are doing brilliantly. Try and rest a bit before they break waters if they haven't already?

Hi lady Yes realised recently that I will have to apply for dd school v soon and was quite shocked as I hadn't remembered that with all the ds school stuff!!
I'm currently checkin in on random shops wifi and out for a bite to eat but will check in later Arti when I'm back at hotel xx

Of course Beans!!

Baby boy arrived 2.15am. A relatively tiny 7lbs 14oz. We went from nothing to everything v quickly: 2cm to delivery was 1 hour 50 mins. No time for ANY pain relief. I mooed and screamed and begged but he wasn't waiting. He is gorgeous and tiny and nameless.

Wow!!! let me be the first of thread CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Brilliant effort Arti !! You are hard core with no drugs. I cannot wait to see some pics. Glad it was quick in the end and what a tiny little fella. Get some rest and enjoy xxxxx
