No swearing det ?
Evil

Hi chasing. I have rl support. My best friend came over before and after work. She couldn't stay long but she is here.

He remembers leaving his friends in a cab. He doesn't know how he ended up on the road. I'm reluctant to think there is anything dodgy as he has not lost wallet/ring/gold bangle/phone.
Dr were convinced he has taken drugs as his heart was going crazy. However I believe him on that one. He is very anti drugs. His head is fine though.

I've slept now. But I'm in that hazy foggy awakness. I just want some chocolate.

Here ready for sweary Wednesday. J awake as in pain. He is playing in his DJ booth. So long as he is upright he is ok. He is snotty too, so around we go again.

Should I sleep in N room? Or risk with P??
Evil

GT is he drinking every day? What time of the day does he start drinking? What does he drink? Can he go a day without alcohol? You do not need to answer these questions, but it will help to give an idea of how serious a problem he has.

J has grown out of his 12-18 gros. I have cut the feet off them.

Wow vq
Evil

VQ wow indeed! I though DS was long as he's needing the 9-12 month gros already, but clearly he's a midget compared with J!

J is wide awake here too vq quite happy in his play nest. Hasn't been fed for 4hrs 15mins. If he could go that long at night I'd be thrilled!!

Contemplating trying another bottle of the neocate but maybe mixing with BM? Tho I don't want him refusing it and wasting breastmilk :-( wish it tasted better!

Wow VQ I was celebrating a move out of some 3-6 month grows and the last of his 0-3 month vests (at a few days shy of 8 months) babies come in all shapes and sizes and laugh in the face of age based clothing sizes!

S'up?

Ya diggin my gangsta? Fancied a wee change.

Anyhoo. How are y'all?

and for *madame]. Sounds pretty tiresome. Glad you both seem able to work through arguments but it would be nicer if you didn't need to, eh?

and Pom for chasing! A week? Can you believe that? Amazing! Good on you girl. You have been in my thoughts a lot this last few days.

Typical evil. I am glad you are feeling better though. Leave DP to his own misery!

Poor, poor wee J VQ! Maybe some Jazz will help him.

I smiled at the baby grow sizes. P was wearing one of my favourite outfits for her today. Size 0-3. The trousers still fall off her but they are too short. I have moved her into one 6-9 outfit as it is dungarees so doesn't matter. Everything else is 3-6. Just as well babies come in all shapes and sizes - life would be very boring if they were all the same

Imagine what the quiche would be like . .

Passme: ehm. P slept 10 hours last night
Det: hi 5. So did O. O ate a whole cabbage.
Kyz: oh yeah! E ate a whole cabbage too.
Horsey: E grew 5 teeth yesterday
Evil: nice one. So did N.
YW: how is everyone's reflux and CMPI
Everyone: fucking arseholing shit.

Remember izzy they don't know it tastes rank. P refused normal formula for over 24 hours but willingly drank nutramigen - it is probably a bit woo but I think sometimes they just know it won't hurt them. Worth trying certainly.

Chasing it made my day when you posted 'XP' earlier.

Bracing myself for the seventh consecutive night of shit sleep in a row. Also DS1 has been a complete arsehole today so DH and I are both ready to explode.

chasing woop. Am so fucking pleased for you.

vq wow, bless him. E is still in 3-6 at 7 months. Expect it will be a couple of weeks before she goes into the next size.

madam glad DH is at least attempting to change. It sounds like you are in between a rock and a hard place but doing a fantastic job.

gt eat lots of chocolate. It's the least you deserve. I hope DH is utterly ashamed of himself. Glad you have had some rl support.

pass your post made me giggle. You have such a way with words.

Well bags are packed and am as ready to go as I'll ever be. Villa has wifi so I hope to be able to keep up with the thread briefly. Until then i hope babies/DH's/pets etc behave. Night.

pass

Not a dream sequence but wish it was. I am in Holland. It is 31. Degrees at 23:36. I am tired and I want my own bed. And DH. And my babies. Teething hell or no.

Big hugs gt what are you going to do do you think?

chasing what an achievement.

Must try to sleep now.

Any left you thirsty lot?

Chasing glad you enjoyed your celebratory hula hoops. Can't believe it's been a week already, but am very glad you're feeling free.

Eliza have a lovely holiday. Not at all. Nope.

Izzy hope you can convince the wee dude to take the formula - it'll be a weight off your mind I'm sure.

Evil don't you know men always get bugs worse than women!?

F is in 3-6 month clothes. And one pair of 0-3 jeans, although they are rapidly heading towards the skinny fit, so might not be much wear left in them! I weighed her today, she's 17lbs 2. She started out life on the 9th centile and is now on 50th. Porker.

I went out to a friends for a natter and a brew tonight, F hasn't even moved in her cot. Not a muscle, and she's still sound now. Wtf?! Obviously this is good, but why not on the nights when I'm at home eh!?

The body of the Gros look like they have been spray painted on! Time to buy some new ones, but has to use them as the three bigger ones are in the wash. They are Asda ones, and not as generous as Next (pink handed down ones).

Pass, have you been smoking weed again?

Pass you make me guffaw! Suuuupp biatch? As they say in South Africa 'howzit, howzit?'

Chasing you rock my lovely! A week down and you are free to be you and the mummy you want to be for darling O.

VQ Jonas is wee but has voluptuous moobs .

Am missing DH tonight (he's working in Aberdeen) a disgruntled bear needed sleep winding an hour ago and he promptly vommed a big wet burp / vom bubble down my top!

GT what everyone else said (about 12 hours ago, sorry!) I can't add to their words of wisdom ((hugs)).

brockle you have my sympathy - my 2 are tag teaming me too. Hope the dry run went ok.

madame That sounds like a hell of a row. I hope things work out and he takes on board what you've said.

chasing well done on completing your first week. You've done brilliantly.

wow VQ N has no long been in her 6-9 month ones. I guess one of the joys of knowing you've had your last child is that you can do things like cut the feet off babygros

Well that's J in bed eventually. He did not look tired up til about half an hour ago! Nightmare!

We had some success with a very weak dilution of neocate and EBM (thanks vq, yellowwellies and det for your awesome advice! He managed 3oz for Daddy and then u tempted him with boob and quickly put bottle in his mouth where he drank a bit more so 5oz in total.

Day 1 of my dairy free diet has went well. Label checking like a mad woman at things in my fridge and cupboard. Why on earth does gammon require milk?!

J tested positive to peanuts and eggs too but no mention of me needing to avoid these? Should I be? It was only the milk allergy that was concentrated on and obviously not to give him eggs directly but I'm not sure if I'm meant to cut them too?

Argh. Lost my post!

Lo is growing out of 9-12 baby grows. Other day wore 1.5-2 jeans . His clothes seem to get small quicker. Have two boxes of unworn clothes as I didn't realise how big he had got.

I guess I get another chance with bump in a few months.

YW think it was you who mentioned contraception yesterday. I think I want the implant. Advice appreciated... I want something I can forget about. No pills! Already looked at when the clinic is, and will get it ASAP after birth as possible. Is the implant a good option. I don't want a coil as I still have issues with the induction examinations.

VQ - H just said after watching eastenders he knows he is not an alcoholic. He isn't like Lauren. What a joke.

He doesn't drink every day. For eg this week.
Last Saturday he was drunk. Then this Saturday and Monday he has over drank.
I don't think he is an alcoholic in a traditional sense. But he has a problem as he can't moderate once he has had a few.

I sound silly saying it. But I know he is not a secret drinker, I can tell when he has had a drink. Even a few beers.

VQ. In addiction he drinks on days off. He will start at 6/7 ish and keep going till he can't stand. He doesn't drink on everyday off. Just most.

Gt sorry to hear you are having to go through all this rubbish. madam l really empathised with some of the stuff you were saying. My dh is great at. practical stuff but l feel so responsible for everything as the main breadwinner and the one who ultimately takes responsibility for everything finance and organisation wise.

Off to Spain for a week on Friday (hopevyou have a good holiday eliza). So knacckered trying to get all work and housework up to date, seriously wonder if it is worth it. Plus having panic all dcs friends will not bother with them when they get back as they?re having a week off school (not sure l?m being entirely rational here).

Made paella for tea tonight. and H scoffed it down, plus 2 banana muffins. Need to get him weighed on Thursday as he is 9 months on 24th so l?m hooping he?s heavy enough for the next car seat.

Hope everyone has a good night

First wake up, 5 hours

pig it will not surprise you to know that O started life on the 9th centile and is now on the 50th
