November 2012 - Weaning is (messy) fun, what does your baby eat?

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

Liverpool, Chasing.

Should have guessed Luis but thought it may have been a south coast team.

It must be a strange kind of relief pig. Weaning must be a minefield with the intolerances.

[Lily311]

Yanbu det. Tell him to grow up.

I fixed all the furnitures, I have blisters. Well proud of myself. O is still not well, app is tmrw at 6 with the dr.

She is dropping a feed, is that what supposed to happen? She has 4 max 5 bottles a day and she never finishes them. She prefers food.

I'm staying at home with O. I still work part time managing 4 properties but that's just a couple of hours a week and usually do it when O is napping. I also try to finish my OU degree by the time O is 2. Than back to the job market.

BPLP I know exactly how you feel about the Nutramigen. L took it without a murmur and I was delighted but also hoped a bit that he would say, but Mummy this is not your delicious milk, please send it away.

Survived work. Felt a bit like I'd had a head injury as it was all so familiar and yet slightly out of reach. Had completely forgotten my computer password & the IT guy is away for a fortnight so couldn't log in. Oops.

[BigPigLittlePig]

Chasing I haven't done anything more adventurous than fruit and veg yet. And dry toast. Starting to increase the amount at each meal, and I suppose with that comes the introduction of new things as well. She's not good with lumps yet.

Lily well done on your construction efforts. When I got my first house I built everything in it, it nearly finished me off but god I was proud of myself! Even prouder that none of it fell apart

Sleep dodger has gone off to sleep now. Second night in a row she hasn't fed to sleep, but been rocked. I really am becoming redundant! Although may have had something to do with the fact that she hadn't fed off my right boob since 11am and it probably filled her up in about 60 seconds.

[ChasingDaisy]

lily and I was proud of putting the jumperoo together! Are you starting to feel settled?

[BigPigLittlePig]

I think I might need my head looking at. I volunteered to help organise a fund-raising tea party for kiddies today. I thought it would be fun. It will be, the party itself. But extra work? What's wrong with me?!

Have also been sent some locum shifts, there's a few in my old workplace doing nights. Not my preferred option, but easy pickings. Good to know there's stuff out there to help boost my current pathetic income.

[ValiumQueen]

bp that is really good news about the formula. If she had refused then you would be panicking now

J has had his normal quota of milk for the first time in 2 weeks, so operation solids restarts tomorrow. Thank fuck!

[FatimaLovesBread]

M is enjoying this feeding lark. She wants to try anything she can get her hands on. And she ate two cubes of sweet potato for lunch instead if just one.

I need to think about going back to work but don't really want to think about it at the moment

Having a bit of stress on behalf of my sister, her teenage son has stolen from her again it seems. About £160 this time. We're at a loss of what to do. My sister's got enough stress on her plate at the moment as it is, can't believe he's being such a twatting shit and adding to her.

Ms favourite thing to do today is singing she's so cute when she does it

[PetiteRaleuse]

What type of doctoring do you do pig ?

Good news about the formula for you and jj and good that the valiumprince has regained his appetite.

Well done to you diy-ers. I'm shite at that sort of thing.

[TheDetective]

O doesn't like my puree :(

Lovingly prepared in my mini frying pan - tomato pasta sauce, Annabel Wotserface recipe no less. He fucking boaked at it. Boak boak boak. Oh dear.

He wolfed an Organix fruit thing after though.

Bloody kids.

BP Crazy woman, but, um, you will feel better afterwards?!

VQ Yay for the solids again!

[TheDetective]

And now I've got 6 sodding tubs of it in the freezer.

[Passmethecrisps]

Halloes.

I am chuffed to bits that operation normal nomming is resumed in the valium household. Maybe we can finally get a wee coffee and cake play date arranged at some point before the babies are 24?

Good on you for Jumperoo building chasing. One more thing you don't need a penis for! Good job. I used to do these things without blinking but I have become very lazy. Also, I don't do things to DH's standards. Fine as long as he does them! It is good to remind yourself that you can do these things though.

Nutramigen is the most delicious thing on the planet in crisp towers. Om nom.

Hope wee O feels much better very soon lilly.

[MadamGazelleIsMyMum]

BPLP great news about the formula. You'll be fine back at work, a few locus shifts in advance might help - my KiT days made a huge difference, helped to ease self back in.

Vq great news about J being ready to get back to solids.

chasing, impressive DIY skills. I have none. DH has very little. Usually the building of flat packed items leads to swearing, shouting, and threats of divorce.

I was vile to DH again. It's a daily occurrence. He does something relatively minor to piss me off, and I explode at him. I think we're just in the settling in period of our changed roles - he's at home, I'm at work, and the control freak in me struggles to allow someone else to do things their way / at all. I'm staying away from the relationships board for fear of being labeled any number of probably truthful awful things.

[Passmethecrisps]

Oh and det YANBU. I am a total slut with regards to these things but raw meat on shiz? Bleaurgh. How did it get in there?

[Passmethecrisps]

madam it must be weird to the max for you both. Deep breaths and find time for a wee together. There is going to be a huge period of readjustment.

In our house DIY (which DH is very good at) is given a rating on the 'fucking cunt' scale. This started when I came back down having abandoned DH to a job and said to him "that can't have been bad at all. I don't think I heard any fucking cunts" as this is what my DH will exclaim when terribly cross. He will now say things like "I really must get that telly aerial fixed. I mean it's probably only a two fucking cunter" I like this as I know what to expect.

I was at work today!

[Passmethecrisps]

So! I was at a conference today! Get me! I was all washed and dressed and MAKE UP ON by 7am!

I left wee P in the capable hands of her daddy and her granny and Grampa who had made the journey up specially to get some non-mummy interrupted grandbaby snuggle time.

I spent the day eating tiny cakes, drinking coffee and posing questions about the state of HE in Scotland whisky furrowing my brow and pursing my lipsticked lips in concentration. DH spent the day fending off an over excited granny and being unable to persuade said granny to allow screaming, overtired baby to be put to bed. And she fed her lentil soup.

[horseylady]

Well today I got told my pelvic floor is broken and I have some thing to make it better. I am not allowed to run. She said ill not say don't ride as you won't listen. True. Anyway, it's worse than I thought and probably more serious but should better. I got the machine there and then as I work at the hospital. Perks so far are private room in the maternity suite, accelerated cancer treatment, faster discharge in a&e and a machine to ensure I'm continent.

I also had my hair done. First time in I'm not sure how long. Hair was desperate for a good cut!! Could have made a wig with the left overs.

[Passmethecrisps]

There was no whisky. Apart from the names of the conference rooms actually which were cheesily named Glenfiddach, glenmorangie and so on.

[Passmethecrisps]

There is no end to your NHS perkage horsey! Seriously though, fanjo muscle breakage sounds rough. Do you have a pelvic floor squisher machine? How long is it likely to take to recover?

[MadamGazelleIsMyMum]

pass I love the fucking cunt scale. Love it. Adopting for the Gazelle household.

[TheDetective]

I have no idea how the chicken crossed the road ended up in the draw. I mean, I have my suspicions but DP said no... I suspect he used the scissors (where the chicken was found) to cut the meat. I've asked him not to use the kitchen scissors for this before. So he probably did, and is just lying.

Either way, I stuck my hand on a piece of raw chicken inside a draw full of utensils.

Madam I'm the same. Snap snap snappy. Mine is lack of sleep. I become even less tolerable of other people DP when I'm not sleeping well. I'm not that tolerable of them in the first place.

Pass I will pass the notion of the fucking cunt scale on to DP. I suspect he will agree.

Do you know what, I can do DIY, but so can DP. I expect him to do what he can do, as for now, I am limited - climbing a ladder and stretching and reaching to shit, or heaving lifting just isn't going to happen. So why the fuck do I ask him over and over to do stuff, and it just doesn't get done. It isn't like he doesn't have the time. Or the ability. FFS.

I asked him to switch O's cot and floor shelves around in his room a couple of days ago. Given it's heavy lifting pushing I thought he would do this. No. He whinged that it wasn't needed and then stood there as I pushed said things around, naked, and then had the fucking audacity to have a fucking erection when I turned around. He said it was my fault for bending over and doing stuff naked. I might have accidently crushed his erection stomping out the room. .

The only reason I wanted them moving was for O - so he isn't near the blind cords. I also had to nag him to remove the canopy over the cot. And he still hasn't lowered the base which I've asked him over and over to do. Not like O isn't mobile...

.

Sorry.

[TheDetective]

Lipstick! I wish I could wear lipstick. DP won't let me, because he isn't allowed to kiss me when I am wearing it. To be fair, I wear bright red lipstick if I do wear it. .

Horsey What did they say about your PF? And I think I know the machine you mention. I think they use it on the PNW where I work. Like a tens machine. I forget the correct name. See, cotton wool brain at work.

[Evilwater]

Hello all,
Another argument here, this time over what to give N for food. Me wanting to give N our food, and P wanting him to stay on Ella's. MN jury, is in my favour.

5 weeks to go, till I'm back to work. Still no KIT days, and I really don't want to go back. I don't want him to go into nursey, he's such a sweet wonderful boy, I want to spend lots of time with him. Why is this so hard!

Evil
