Hello eggs welcome

chasing LO will also pick up on how you are feeling too possibly? If you are anxious when you see people, they will notice. Not that it is your fault, but others for making you feel like that.

VQ I did think that too. I know they will want to play pass the baby so I probably do get tense.

O is also asleep!

So tired. Sooooooooooooooo tired.

Welcome eggs - hope you managed to catch the rolling baby!

Det glad TV is fixed, otherwise we could have done with sweary fucksticks Friday.

My tiny little baba is trying to crawl. When the fuck did they grow up so quickly? I feel quite emotional today, about how quick she is growing up, and returning to work. When I'm working, I will be spending 50 hours less a week with her. 50 fucking hours

Welcome eggs

Yaaay detective!

E is trying and failing to crawl bplp I hope he learns soon as he gets very frustrated. I've felt the same as you today minus the work part. They're growing up so fast!

O has been trying to crawl for just over 2 weeks. He is no further forward .

Gets up on hands, on to knees, bum in air, and screams at how he isn't moving!

Hello eggs.

Big hugs for Valium prince

Yay to TVs working

Bplp we also have a wannabe crawler which I hope he cracks soon as the frustration is very annoying!

Shit the 50 hours a week makes me feel sick...

I'm in denial about work still!

F face plants, bum in the air, wiggles legs and shrieks into the floor.

She just polished off a cube of melon and one and a half of mango. This baby lurves fruit! She gets so excited by the sight of her spoons.

I hate the fact that when I go back to work, someone else is going to get to do all this. And when I collect her, she will smell of someone else.

big those 50 hours were the reason for me to move back to Hungary. I would have needed to go back to work on 9th may for 50 hours a week. I get teary even just thinking about it. Huge hugs for all of you.

O was overstimulated today, she couldn't even finish her bottle. Going to attempt dream feed very soon.

QQ quiche peeps, I came upstairs to put J to bed only to find my bedsheets stripped (he gets his evening feed in my bed as he often falls asleep during it). I put him in his cot and started huffily making up the bed. DH is outraged at me being annoyed because 'you have to leave the mattress to air between changing the sheets'. Seriously I have never heard of this rule; is this a real rule? I turn back the duvet for half an hour every morning to let the bed air. Our sheets are cotton, how much airing does a mattress need. Please tell me I haven't been changing bedsheets incorrectly for my whole life.

pig O is, of course, trying to crawl as well. He has started putting his bum in the air when he is on his tummy. Am making the most of him staying in one place at the moment!

That really sucks about work I'm not sure what my future holds yet work wise, but being away from him fills me with dread too.

stunt I sometimes strip the bed in the morning and make it in the evening to air out the mattress. Supposed to help with dust mites and I'm asthmatic. Don't think it is an official rule though

We have a special dust-mite free bed as we're both allergic to dust! I'd have to say it works too, we're both a lot less sympathetic compared to the old bed. Really I'm trying to work out whether he's just being lazy or not.

Stunt if it were my dh, it would be laziness - and an attempt to cover up the fact he couldn't be bothered to remake it. But your dh may be less housework-averse than mine...

I let the mattress breathe if I have time. And hoover it if I can be arsed . But sometimes the cat sleeps on the bed and DH is asthmatic.

So in theory he is right, but in practice it's not the end of the world if the mattress doesn't get aired.

Well I have survived today. Thanks to bryzoan, kyz, bigpig, vq and others for kind words.

My naughty baby slept for 4 hours at nursery. They call him "smiling boy" there. He's so scrumptious that I can forgive him for last night's dreadful shenanigans until about 4am this morning. My naughty toddler also slept at nursery which is less usual, and said she really fought being woken up. Hmmm, wonder why?

stunt when I change the sheets, the bed gets made when it suits me - sometimes I do it immediately but sometimes I wait because it is convenient. If DH stripped but didn't remake the bed before I wanted to use it, he'd probably lose a limb.

bigpig leaving F will be ok. Yes, she will smell like someone else, and have done other things. But there is absolutely no one like you. Promise. Going to work is worth it for the smiles of recognition when you get back. And you're giving her independence and stimulation and the opportunity to get used to other people which really is to her benefit.

Hi eggs.

Congrats Sophia

Good luck MM

Pennie I should clarify - she cannot actually move forward. Just gives her face carpet burn.

Seriously though, you will be ok and so will baby x

Piss in piece?! Hot coffee any coffee!?! You don't work for the NHS! Impostor!!

When I went back to work after having DD1 I was distraught. But she was fine. The CM was excellent, she was happy, thriving even. I don't know if her development sped up because she was in a different place, or if I noticed it more because I wasn't with her all the time. I missed her first steps, first real crawling, first nodding of her head and even her first 'non'. But that was fine.

Then I fell out with the CM and everything went downhill, but that's another long story.

Piss in piece? Fanjo that bad eh det!?

I will be fine. I'm not sure how this oestrogen-up-fanjo is affecting me. Feel a bit teary and odd. Probably the first sniff of oestrogen my body's had in years.

Gotta love iPhones !

What did they recommend it for BP?
