Yup! Was me! Ta for the info!

Would it be wrong of me to want to shove sharpened Lego blocks up DPs arse? Purely for the fact he has the ability to fall asleep instantaneously when head meets pillow. Or even when head meets any object really.

The cunt.

It's... not ... wrong of you to want to, no

izzy I can post you infant gaviscon if you want to try it. I have loads and we use ranitidine. Though I am thinking the reflux is going. LO is hardly sick now and doesn't scream like she used to. Being off dairy def helps though I miss cheeeeeese.

If not Izzy does anyone else want it?

Sorry no time to post more. It's 1:24 and I haven't been to bed yet and not cos a baby's keeping me up.

Night. X

I need calming sane thoughts.
Dh got home a while ago. Couldn't open door. Kept calling to to let him in. Despite having keys. Yes. Good idea. Lady with spd will get out of bed, get down stairs to let PRICK husband into the house.

So tempted to move into my house, I did say this to him today. Very conveniently tenants contract is up at the end of the month...

My "calming, sane thoughts" are probably none of those things, but are aimed at both of you. This is hard enough for those of us with one baby. With another one imminent it must be brutal, and I can't imagine the stress you are both under. Be kind to each other and allow each other vent space.

3am. Again.

He seems to throw in the odd week of good sleep and then it all goes to shit again. Sleep, boy, sleep!

GT you have your own house? Is the plan still to live with your MIL once baby 2 arrives?

Hi Chasing. Hi 3am

Hi Luis. Got any Pringles?

Not tonight.

Not tonight

Not tonight.

Not tonight.

Wishes hard

I had Worcester sauce French Fries before bed. Nom.

Small person back in cot. See you at 5.

salutes

Insomnia sucks.

LO has dropped back to about 20 oz since she's been on 3 meals a day. Paed recommended 3 x 7oz by about now, with liquid intake upped by water.

We're still having one brief wake up a night when I don't put the humidifier in the room (most evenings as I keep it out of DD's reach during the day then forget). It's thirst, not hunger so I just give her an ounce of water or milk. She's awake for 5 - 10 mins tops.

It's just me who can't get the fuck back to sleep. It's been an hour now. Feeling hungry. Might go get chocolate something healthy to snack on.

And now I'm hungry. And the dawn chorus has started. I may as well just get up and do something useful.

Chasing don't worry that your little one hasn't slept through. Some babies take longer than others to do it. H hasn't slept through but I know he will at some point.
Detective Tkmaxx are great for sleeping bags. I got grobags there cheaply and aden and anais ones. Oh I meant to say congrats on O's pulling up skills. That's really amazing. H isn't even close to doing anything like that without my help but he can sit for a little while.

izzy the Minister should understand the importance of your babies health.

Called nursery yesterday to tell them I was taking DS1 off Dairy to see if it gives his tummy a chance to recover ( 5 weeks of loose nappies is not fun )"Oh yes, ok, no problem" completely blasé about it, they have loads apparently.

Knackered, have babies cold, have work, blurrrgghh.

I'm tired.

Hug and pr

to you too. Hope you feel better soon.

Morning. Another 11.5 hours here, clever girl. chasing O is a week older than your O and only started to sleep through this weekend. Before we had at least twice wakings.

det o is now on 4 bottles a day averaging 20-25 oz. she has 3 good meals and water.

catbag you are a Wonder Woman .

izzy I have some infant gaviscon left too, shout if you wan me o post though it might take a week to get there.

pr insomnia sucks. Have you sorted the cats for holiday?

gt he is a twunt. Hope you are ok this morning.

I found English food section in tesco's yest. Mwahahaha. I might have stocked up on weetabix (no, you can't buy it here) and baked beans. I really miss some ingredients from Uk, my brother is sending me a package soon. CAn u believe there is no breadsticks here or flavoured rice cakes?? I love mrs crimble's apple rice cake.

I hope to sort them today. I've got someone coming round to discuss looking after the cats, doing a bit of gardening and giving house a good spring clean - much easier with no dog or children around.

Fingers crossed.

If that doesn't work I'll out the cats outside and ask the neighbour to out food and water outside for them. Don't know them well enough to ask for more than that.

gt your DH seems to go out drinking an awful lot.

Another bad night, P got up 3 times last night. N woke up screaming twice, I think it's his teeth. He woke at 6 and he was still tired so he's only just gone down for his nap.

I think it's going to be a long day

Gt what a twat!
det N drinks around 25oz of milk a day, with 3 meals a day. At the moment it's more cause N decided not to eat much.
luis Pringles yumm.....
sophia I'm sure the minster will be fine

To any one else
Evil

Meowning.

lilly I cannot remember the last time I bought rice cakes, breadsticks or weetabix. I do know that if I couldn't though I would really want to.

I am fascinated by the change in milk volumes - how am I going to get my head around this? I offer P 2 or 3 meals a day but she barely eats anything. She is weeks older than det's O but still has 5 bottles between 2.5 - 3 hours apart.

DH says brekkie is ready - back laterz
