Bplp just thrashed me at wwf.

Pidj We are still (!!) in virusy hell, but yes. When we're better.

horseylady It'll work.

kirrin if you get broody, get a cat

I'll be right behind you Kirrin. Plans for 3rd fucked right off out the window at the start of this refuckingression.

I made it home! Got bk at 9.15. Lol. Ended up the place was a bit of a walk from the actual street. However I took my time n it was fine. Good exercise n given me confidence that I can go out n walk 5/10mins without tooooo much pain.
Watched the voice n tucked up in bed now. Very tiered.

Mil scam. Those things suck! My mum fell for it. Was asked (over phone) to put money into an account as she had won something. She was so excited. Luckily my sister came home, my mum not wanting to take wrong account number down asked my sister to speak to scam guy on phone. When my sis realised what was going on she went loopy on the phone. And then at my mum. The guy knew SO much about my mum she thought it must be right.

Right. Sleepy sleepy. Must take advantage of sister having LO tonight with her.

Not a cat no - if I get broody I shall get a pony. Then I'll be having too much fun to want to go back to newborn stuff! ignores fact that I have a pony stood in a bloody field with zero chance of getting back on anytime time soon

so... another pony?

I'm here.

4hr 45 for first sleep. Just so random. No pattern to it at all.

J was awful and now sleeps, I promise. The randomness is hurty, I agree.

O is better than some, so can't really complain. He is such a livewire that I think he finds it hard to switch off sometimes.
horsey you ok?

kyz you sound like you need something to cheer you up. Wish I could help

When O had babycorn he tended to bite chunks off, spit them out and then laugh Heart stopping stuff though.

Hmpf. Hello regression meet midnight night feed!! Oh gawwwwd. It's gonna be 'one of those' isn't it?!!! .

I'm going in on mission transfer! Wish me luck!!!

salutes

You think maneuvering a sleeping six month old from your arms into a cot is easy.

But not in The Cube.

Contestant defeated.

Fail fail and fail.

He was fast asleep. Got Moses basket back out thinking it might be better as he will feel cocooned.

Success. Then fail.

Fucking fucks sake.

This is classic newborn behaviour. But it's so much worse than newborn!!!!!

Hello Mr Wits. Meet Mr End.

L just sneezed in my ear

Maybe not another pony. Then I'd have sanity but no money. Perhaps a cat isn't such a bad idea.

The Cube is about right Luis I swear some of those challenges must be easier than The Transfer.

Hope you're getting some sleep detective

4.45 is pretty good chasing

It's not as bad as you think Horsey, you get into the swing of things.

We're on the third wake up (second feed) of the night already. Last night he slept for 6.5 hours after his dream feed. Why so unpredictable?

Dying here too. Worst night for transfers in ages. Taking hours. Torture. Perhaps we should develop an app for broody people that wakes them randomly, shouts for ages, settles then shouts again if you put phone down. Would solve world population crisis and be cheaper than a pony. We might win Nobel peace prize. I would prefer some peace though.

HELLLOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

My self imposed MN ban is over. I'm back!

Will try to catch up.

As babies go g doesn't cry much in the day. But r seems to have nicknamed him 'crying'. If she doesn't know where he is she signs 'where's crying?' and when I was left g with dh Saturday morning to take r to her swimming lesson she yelped when I started the engine. I looked round and she frantically signed 'crying'. She thought i had forgotten him! much better behaved than I was as a kid. I let mum and dad drive half way to the airport for our holiday without my sister, who we'd left sat on the garden wall. I was in so much trouble for not saying anything. I just thought I had lucked out!

Really sorry to hear about scanners. Evil bastards.

Horsey - so sorry. Returning to work is bloody hard, especially on FA sleep. You will get through it though. Might not be pleasant but you will get through it.

Jing! lovely to see you.!

Why do babies think that the day starts at 5 fucking am??

bryzoam that's quite funny about your sister. Was she still sat on the garden wall when you got back?

lily I don't know. When you find the answer, let us all know?!

horsey I am about to find out today. DS was awake every hour Ish through the night. Didnt need much - pat on back here, dummy reinserted there, etc, but I had to get up each and every time, because DH just doesn't fucking hear, and if I woke DH to get him up to sort DS, it would take so long DS would be a lot harder to settle. So have not had a decent chunk of sleep, and am off to work. Am hoping it sorts itself out soon.

Oh, and it may not be sweary Wednesday, but fucking, cunting, bastarding conjunctivitis. Both DC and me.

Pffffft. Fuck you sleep! I never liked you anyway!

I totally love that your DD calls him crying bryz that's just too cute for words!!

Good luck at work madam :( xxx

Silly detective was it cosy in O's cot!

The boys rooms are east facing, I have a travel blackout blind in DS1sroom as we ae renting and as it's only for a year we don't want to get into putting things up.

So DS2is waking at 05:30. Do I move the blind and have DS1wake. Spend the pennies on another travel blackout blind, or go for the Big Pig style and drpe a big Gray blanket over the curtain rail?

Am liking option 3 as a trial.
