I am thankful for the Ness sale, for enough time to paint my toenails (thank you sunny day - the bear is always chilled when playing outside) and for the Hairy Bikers curry recipe I'm cooking tonight. Also thankful for v excited PIL who are coming up to stay next week. First night out in 8 months looms on the horizon!!!!

Kyz and BP WTAF?! Hope you're all OK xxxx

Kyz BP Men are such selfish twats (with a few exceptions)

I'm thankful for friends, both on and off line, and for vvvdp who is vvv despite the fact that he still hasn't popped the fucking question even though the ring has been in the drawer for 3 years now

kyz and big OMG!!!!!! Huge hugs!

First settleing in session of nursery done. N cried a little at first but when he saw a sparkly toy . He Bumped his head on one of the toys, but he is fine. I felt like I talked loads about N, she wrote loads about him, so I hope they are prepared. as he has been very clingy.

He did his first proper crawling today, and is very tired afterwards it. It was a few moves and took him 5 mins but he got to me :).

Evil

kyz you're probably right about the tension - they're so receptive at such an early age. it's amazing how often they check faces to check how they should feel about stuff.

aw how sweet evil!

must have been a tough day for you too. am gonna find that first day hard!

Evil they are so used to mums leaving their babies for the first time. They want to know about him. Sound like you both did really well x he will love it.

Kyz what a selfish man. How very selfish and manipulating and pathetic.

BP your DH was very lucky by the sounds of it. Hope he grows up soon. Men eh? Luis excluded obviously.

So far today, I've spent 70 minutes rocking a baby for her naps. And off now to make it 110 minutes. Can't wait to see how dh gets on tomorrow.

Omg kyz and bp, sending you hugs.

I'm thankful for the air con in my flat, couldn't have survived 37 degrees without it. Thankful for my brother for sending me a huge package from the UK. And thankful for my friend deciding to visit us, she should be here in an hour.

O has napped once and was awake between 1 and 6. Little madam fought hard not to have the third nap, she is out completely now.

Naps are a battle here too at the moment. Seems to be a common theme running through the quiche.

He has been crashing out at 7 every night though so I can't complain but I do worry about him getting enough sleep.

Postcard from Cyprus. Weather is amazing, villa is beautiful, and we are all having a wonderful time. My fears about the travelling were unfounded. The journey was very smooth and both girls were very well behaved. DD1 spent about 5 hours in the pool today and was the most tired I have ever seen her. Took E for a dip too and she loved it. She pulled her tube out literally within minutes of landing so thank goodness I can put it back in myself as otherwise the first stop we would have gone to would have been the hospital.

Anyway that's a rather long postcode! Have skim read thread and sounds like there's some crazy shit going on kyz hope you're ok and bplp hope all works out ok with DH job.

Hugs And to those who need them.

Thanks clarella and VQ, I get to leave him tomorrow. I feel much better being in their and seeing them work. I just hope I've told them enough!

big oh no! Naps have alway been a battleground. I know what your going through. All I can do is give you ((((hugs))))

Evil

Eliza it sounds lovely, glad the flight went well.

VQ he was very lucky. I have had to remind him that he might not be so lucky next time (and no doubt there will be a next time since he cannot seem to control his mouth). Luckily, he knows he's overstepped the mark and does genuinely seem to want some help at last. I can see him getting angry at the anger management peeps though haha.

Evil hope tomorrow goes well.

Am currently trying to pack my bag for work, having removed the detritus that was in there from the day before F was born...it is empty, bar a stethoscope, pens and ID badge. I'm sure I need more than this. Much more. But my brain just won't work

Jacob has two teeth since this morning bring his total fang count to 4. Today is the first day he is obviously in pain because of it. He is chewing toys so hard until he cries so he has had calpol. He also has a cold and a low grade temperature. But he also has a Jumperoo which he loves. Bit late I know, but he will get to use it for a few weeks and then he will be in full time nursery.

Oh yes BP. Tomorrow isn't it? All the best. I am sure you will be fine, and will actually enjoy it once you are there.

ah I see evil - im sure you have (though I'd want to leave a novel) it's funny how they can be different for others though and in other circumstances. was at a wedding at wknd and my sister had g - he did lots more for her than me!

quiche I'm having a oh fuck is it reflux again moment. could food refusal be teeth related? or reflux? (silent sort). early mornings seem to be getting funny again. as in he needs to sleep upright.

hate the way reflux makes you get all munchausen by proxy. phoned hv for advice and she started insinuating I need perinatal mh team. all I asked was could reflux cause weaning issues as despite him getting into it last week it's been a battle this week. or could it simply be teething.

mum v reassuring as apparently all I'd eat for a long time was readybrek

oh huge hugs for work bplp and a big

looking like it will be an every hour/ 45 min night ffs. mind you just settled without a feed.

mind you that was in the hammock.

Good luck for tomorrow pig! I'll be thinking of you.

Feeling lonely tonight.

((Chasing))

Don't feel lonely chasing - we're here .

Put dd's name in my last post by accident so have asked for it to be deleted.

Here it is again for posterity...

Oh dear - lots of hard times all round then.

Clarella that was a perfectly sensible question. Ruddy health visitors.

Kyz - unbelievable. Glad you are all ok.

Bplp - really good luck tomorrow. And with DH. Nightmare.

Today G had erupted with Chicken Pox. Poor scrap has been grinning gamely through a high temp and a lot of spots. We were meant to be going to a family day for R's syndrome on Saturday. Oh well, maybe next year...
Not expecting a great night.

oh no the pox poor thing.

thanks bry

fuck he's been scratching the back of his neck and I'm googling cmpi symptoms. inc food refusal. (I'm always about a month behind you lot)

gonna keep a close eye and maybe a diary. he had lots of dairy last week as was digging yogurt and fromage frais.

peadiatrician in my lll group also commented recently it's possible for no issue to be present in bm but to start with intro into solids.

I fucking hope it's not as I can't bear the discussion with dh. I will keep an eye and diary and see doc in secret if so.

((((chasing))))

I felt v lonely today. I've thought of something to try which might help you? write little notes in a book to O about cute stuff he did in the day. address it to him so it feels like you're talking to someone but also he'll be able to read it when he's all growed up. plus it'll help focus you on why you're doing what you're doing.

my eg (though yet to write down due to .mn)

you sat on your push chair happily for the first time today. you were so excited as you'd been asking to sit up in the carry cot and I'd let you a couple of times. you lent forward the whole way, trying so hard not to fall asleep as it was so exciting. it was a beautiful sunny day. then your head fell into your lap as you nodded off and I had to show you how you can lean back against the push chair.
