I'm here. Had my fingers crossed for 4am after DF. This is not 4am.

LuisGarcia · 17/05/2013 01:42

Here. Was hoping it was just me.

Glad R is ok Pidj, must have been hard leaving him tonight.

Luis I have been browsing rightmove.

This regression can fuck off now. It's newborn sleep all over again.

LuisGarcia · 17/05/2013 01:53

awesome

Hug chasing x

I am here. Bottle warmed just waiting to see if J wakes properly. He has been whining for some time but eyes stay firmly shut. Bottle in little jacket. PCM in syringe. He feels warm but not worryingly so. I never dreamed he would sleep this long.

I took feeding in my stride with the girls. Very different with boy. Share mixed emotions of fellow reflux mums.

Pass you only ever act in Ps best interest. You make the best decision with the information available at the time. You are not a Paediatric Consultant specialising in reflux. You are fucking awesome!

I missed my thankfulls. I am thankful, just tired and poorly.

Chasing, Rightmove is the right move for you Smile and women's aid is there if you do not have the luxury of such planning and need to move quicker x

YellowWellies · 17/05/2013 02:02

GT think of your poor hips!!! Shock Shock Shock Shock They can't be serious! Get thee the implant sharpish next time as last time you joked about a sibling you were updiffed within days Smile Mindst I have a feeling that having 2 babies under 12 months may act as its own special form of contraception Wink Grin

ValiumQueen · 17/05/2013 02:50

Yes GT make sure you do not allow him anywhere near you until you have decent contraception.

J now back in cot. Gave PCM but not wanting feed. Temp was a bit high for my liking.

PurplePidjin · 17/05/2013 04:27

Missed mine too Blush

I am thankful that night feeds, despite being 2 hours apart, now last 15 minutes instead of the hour+ i used to do.

And for vdp.

And for you lot to whinge at Thanks

Thechick · 17/05/2013 04:38

BigPig I offer water in a sippy cup with every meal. We have a few different kinds. Still trying to work out which is best. He's starting to get the hang of them kind of

Lily311 · 17/05/2013 05:49

Awful night. O screamed at 9. Like she was in pain, I think she was. It broke my heart. Than up every 2 hours, something is not right. Poor baby girl.

She stole her cousin's bread yest at dinner time. Thanks fuck I recorded it, it was so funny. Her 5 year ok cousin just giggled and giggled. Tonight my brother's 2 year old is coming for a sleepover and my mum will look after him and O tmrw. Good luck to her.

det sorry you are down. Ignore the lady in play group. I hate comparing, they are all different.

gt 3 under 2? My sister did it, she was bloody knackered for 5 years. She is now back at work teaching, juggling nursery and school drop off and pick up, after school clubs, big house, 2 dogs. Oh, and her husband fucked off with his secretary in January. She says she loves her kids but would not have 3 under 2 again, eldest is now 7.

Sophiathesnowfairy · 17/05/2013 06:43

We didn't do the dream feed last night Shock

So he decided to have a massive poo at 11:30!

I changed his nappy and offered him some milk.

He didn't want it.

But everyone is awake at 5:30 these days because of the light. Luckily DS1 will be reunited with his ducky snuggle back in and go back to sleep. o wants to play Hmm

Wonderful DH has been offered a job in Belfast! Grin

PetiteRaleuse · 17/05/2013 06:45

Morning. DD1 in bed and knackered yesterday by 8. Wouldn't stop messing about until half 10. She used to be such a good sleeper. Otherwise LO was up at 10, 2 and 7. Which I suppose is better than 6.

PetiteRaleuse · 17/05/2013 06:46

That's great news sophia

Sophiathesnowfairy · 17/05/2013 06:49

lovely lentils

pass we love lentils. We use this recipe. All four have had it as their very first protein before meat. Goes down a treat! I have a never ending lentil supply.

TheDetective · 17/05/2013 07:24

Shitty fucking sleep can fuck off. Up every half hour from 2.50. Tried to start the day at 5. Rocked back desperately for 20 mins. He was up at 6. He was on me from 5. Hmm

Stingy eye club r us.

On the plus side the times he woke every half hour he settled quickly and no failed transfers hooray! And he didn't want a feed all night. Confused

chasing it's exactly like newborn sleep isn't it?! It's fucking weird.

Sophia awesome news!

StuntNun · 17/05/2013 07:32

Fantastic Sophia, I'm sure that's a weight off your mind. How long a commute will he have?

All this shitty sleep is a regression right? It's not going to stay like this for long?

Brew for detective

This sleeping shizzle is weird. O hasn't been too bad but with the early waking and a small whinge in the night.

Bacon medallions and nimble can loosely be described as a bacon sandwich for breakfast and is yum. (Though could eat another!)

I thank you. Am proud of DH and would like to celebrate with champers but am holding back till medical and refs done and he has actually resigned.

Sophiathesnowfairy · 17/05/2013 07:36

stunt it will be about an hour. As we have a company car at the mo he is currently investigating small 4x4 s as his commuting car!

TheDetective · 17/05/2013 07:39

I don't fucking know. :( I hope to fuck not!!!

Can you believe I'd have been on nights this week if I was back at work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bacon medallions is the only bacon I eat! Always remove everything else! And I'm having nimble bread too. So I'd say it counts! TY for Brew Grin

Dixiebell · 17/05/2013 07:48

OMFG, my baby can scream! Ted's had his first few spoonfuls of baby rice, yesterday and just now. Mixed with BM. He couldn't get enough, kept grabbing the spoon, and I've never heard him scream as loudly as he just did when I finally took the bowl and spoon away. Hope he'll be the same with proper food, that was basically just BM but slightly thicker. Must get round to actually cooking up the pikes if root veg in my kitchen...Hmm. He's now having bf to calm him down. Two feeds and a bowl of baby rice so far today and it's not even 8am Hmm

Dixiebell · 17/05/2013 07:49

Piles of veg, not pikes. That would be a strange first weaning good...

Dixiebell · 17/05/2013 07:49

Food! Bah!

horseylady · 17/05/2013 08:07

Hugs to all with regression/bad sleep.

It will pass. It will pass. It will pass. Ds woke at 7.20 this morning. He didn't scream as he normally does. He just chatted to his teddy. I got his bottle and he ate his bottle. Wow. I feel like a new woman!! Not slept that late in ages!!! Really cloudy here today so self buying black out curtains!!
