Please give your baby's favourite foods so we can get some ideas from each other.

Just changed S after she vommed all over herself, sat her up and she vommed all over herself again, then the little monkey started laughing!

BigPigLittlePig · 29/05/2013 13:05

Sophia you clearly have an excellent imagination! I've no idea if she has wheels Grin. We were on our way to baby group when she rang so she will call again on Monday. She sounded lovely though, so have high hopes.

Chasing ouch.

Hope all the cunting illness fucks off fucking pronto.

F got a fit of the giggles going around the supermarket, it was lush. ML ends in 4.5 weeks and counting. I don't want to go back to work. I'm not ready at all. But can't afford any longer off Sad

Sophiathesnowfairy · 29/05/2013 13:06

Grin fp she will be fun on a night out!

ChasingDaisy · 29/05/2013 13:37

Jumperoo has arrived! will open after his big nap which he has just settled down for.

ChasingDaisy · 29/05/2013 13:38

Sophia I basically live in ballet pumps and ankle boots. I have horrid feed. I would love to get my bunions sorted but the operation sounds erm...horrendous!

TheDetective · 29/05/2013 14:15

Afternoon shitfaces!

ML ending fucking sucks arse. Mine ended a month ago. I feel like I am on borrowed time now. I'm just not ready physically or mentally to go back. I wish I could go back 3 days a week. That would suit me fine. But 5 days, full time. I am weeping at the thought. .

I should start the pregabolin I have been given to take. I don't want to take it though. The common side effects are less than desirable. I am so confused, as I am told I am describing neuropathic pain, but it feels like my vagina has been butchered and stitched up with the care of an elephant on crack. Fuck knows. I am keen to have these steroid injections though, as breaking down the scar tissue feels to be what I need

I feel so angry still, that I am still having such pain. It fucks me off no end that as a woman, this is the price we pay for having children. What do men go through? Would men put up with this crap? Surely there has to be a better solution? :(

Anyway, enough moaning.

O woke at 2.30 last night. I grumped in to his room, put Ewan on, and told him to go back to sleep as he conducted the fucking philharmonic. I stropped back to bed, and he must have gone back to sleep despite looking wide afuckingwake when I went in as the next time I was woken was just before 5. He fed, but no self settling that time. I actually had to wake DP to take over the rocking. I am going to end up dropping him. He is SO strong, and heavy, my arms can't take it for long. I am very close to buying a second pushchair to keep upstairs for prolonged rocking periods as it is a pain in the arse taking the pram upstairs in the night.

He slept til 8.30 again after that. So 8.30-8.30. Not too shabby.

Okay, so that was still moaning. Sorry. I lied.

My grammar needs shooting in that post.

Sorry. Blush

ChasingDaisy · 29/05/2013 15:31

I certainly don't feel mentally ready enough to go back to work. My head feels very woolly through lack of sleep and emotionally I'm certainly not ready to leave O.

This weather is so poo. Giving me a headache Sad. Got my dad coming over again tomorrow. Trying to get O used to him.

BigPigLittlePig · 29/05/2013 15:37

Woolly. Yep. That's an appropriate phrase. F has been asleep on me for 3 hours apart from a quick feed, I've napped for some of it and feel all weird and spacey. Bastarding builders are digging up the road outside the house so pneumatic drills are the soundtrack to my afternoon Hmm

TheDetective · 29/05/2013 15:42

Cotton wool. Yes. Empty cotton wool.

I'm hungry but trying to be good. Weigh in tomorrow and as of yet, I haven't lost any weight this week. GRR!

O has just had a 2 hour nap, and has woken in a good mood.

He enjoyed his puree on toast for lunch today! He got very excited over it. And was actually better at picking the small pieces he had spat vomited out and putting them back in his mouth Shock.

ChasingDaisy · 29/05/2013 15:49

Weird and spacey. Yep. As O is gradually sleeping better and I am getting slightly more sleep, I am feeling even more tired. It's like it has given my mind a reminder of what normal sleep is. Really don't feel with it at all.

det I love watching O chase bits of food around his tray Grin. He is getting very good at picking stuff up.

PetiteRaleuse · 29/05/2013 15:51

When I put mashed up stuff on toast for LO she licks the mash off and drops the toast right into the dog's mouth. She does love it though. As does the bloody dog who takes up position underneath the minute I put her in her high chair :o

fruitpastilles · 29/05/2013 16:00

Had my first weigh in at weight watchers this wek and lost 4lb wooo!

fruitpastilles · 29/05/2013 16:00

*week

BigPigLittlePig · 29/05/2013 16:22

Am sat poised with a bottle of Nutramigen. It smells like cheesy feet. I feel dreadfully sorry for F. A massive part of me wants her to refuse point blank to take it. About 99.9% of me in fact.

ChasingDaisy · 29/05/2013 16:25

It's like the bloody Krypton Factor assembling this jumperoo. Send men. And tools.

BigPigLittlePig · 29/05/2013 16:26

Greedy mare is wolfing it down. Waaaah Sad

pig my life = refresh, refresh, refresh, whilst waiting to transfer sleeping baby to cot.

How are you feeling about the formula?

ChasingDaisy · 29/05/2013 19:27

I constructed the jumperoo all by myself! Who needs men huh? (Sorry luis)

TheDetective · 29/05/2013 19:32

I'm here! About to do bedtime... not sure if he thinks it might be nap time rather than bed time though.

I also feel a bit sick. And I am not looking forward to rocking a baby and having the possibility of puking on him. Hmm

Can I have an AIBU please? DP made tea. I opened the drawer with the utensils in to find a piece of raw chicken inside. I said to DP he should wash the utensils (he will do the dishes while I put O to bed). He had a proper strop over it, saying there was no need. I'm not being unreasonable am I?! Am I?! Raw chicken on utensils means washing right?!

LuisGarcia · 29/05/2013 19:38

It means washing the utensils and the drawer. YADNBU

ChasingDaisy · 29/05/2013 19:43

Raw chicken in the drawer?! He needs to be dettol-ing that fucker and it's contents.

Luis I outed myself as a football fan earlier in the thread. Can I ask who you support?

PetiteRaleuse · 29/05/2013 19:44

Yup, everything in that drawer needs to be cleaned.

BigPigLittlePig · 29/05/2013 19:45

Yep. What luis said Envy
