That is progress PR Smile

I am sure the anti-Ds will help. Shame they cannot do the night feeds.

PetiteRaleuse · 02/07/2013 13:21

Very true!

ChasingDaisy · 02/07/2013 13:31

VQ I am glad to hear that. I hope they help x

Had a nice morning out with O, went to pets at home where he loved the fish. He then sat in a highchair for the first time out and about and made lots of friends in Costa.

Oh and I had a dream about a quichester last night....

ChasingDaisy · 02/07/2013 13:32

Oh and PR that sounds positive Smile

FatimaLovesBread · 02/07/2013 13:41

(((VQ))) what have they prescribed you, if you don't mind me asking?

det WTF?!! It's a bloody pram. If she doesn't want people to know what it is or see pictures then why fucking post about it? A relative really boils my piss on FB, posting like she's the only pregnant woman there's ever been and attention seeking statuses. She basically has no life, so lives it over FB to make it seem more exciting than it is. Actually don't get me started on her, I may never stop ranting Grin she gives me a massive wedgie.

M has lasagne for tea, this morning she did the smelliest turd ever and I used to think her BF poos smelt Grin

We don't have a walker, a relative brought one to PIL for us but we've tactfully left it there because it's fricking massive. Also left a huge ride on thing there that an Auntie thought we obviously needed right away when M was 6weeks old at it's for 1 year olds. That's massive and ugly too.
We do have one of those V-tech walker things that they hold on to though and a door bouncer.

FatimaLovesBread · 02/07/2013 13:46

Oh good god, she's just done some proper man farts and then obviously another poo. I can smell her across the room Envy

PetiteRaleuse · 02/07/2013 13:55

Every day on MN is a learning experience. I just learned the term 'granny chic'

Donnadoon · 02/07/2013 14:13

PetiteRaleuse · 02/07/2013 14:15

Congratulations Donna Flowers

DD1 was 18 months when LO was born. It'll be hard, of course, but masses and masses of fun. When are you due then do you think?

Donnadoon · 02/07/2013 14:19

Thank you and according to due date calculator 17th Febuary.

PetiteRaleuse · 02/07/2013 14:23

Lovely. I think you are the third quiche member to be having another baby. I whine and moan about having two under two, but at moments like this when they are both asleep in their own beds in their room or when they play well together have to remove all sharp objects or other potential weapons from DD1 it's brilliant :)

Donnadoon · 02/07/2013 14:27

Ha and the time goes so fast too ...you blink and you miss it anyway..cant believe dd will be 9 months on sunday.

PetiteRaleuse · 02/07/2013 14:29

Gosh, yes, 9month birthdays are coming up aren't they.

They'll soon have been out longer than they were in.

wellieboots · 02/07/2013 14:39

Oh wow, congrats Donna you're braver than me but it's very exciting!Thanks

BigPigLittlePig · 02/07/2013 14:49

Congratulations donna, lovely news.
Det loving the rants - get thee to a chocolate shop!
PR fc this is the beginning of something then - your own, un-child-filled bed is within grasp!
Fatima Envy

F is drowning in snot. So my half day is on the sofa having cuddles. More screaming at the CM Sad. She's never known a baby to cry so insistently. She stopped the very instant I appeared. How long do you think it'll take her to settle in?

F will have been out longer than she was in, vair soon, as she was early. Scary thought.

BigPigLittlePig · 02/07/2013 14:50

Ah yes, and F greeted me by vomming straight down my cleavage and rubbing snot on my shoulder. Oh so glamorous!

VQ hope the ADs help take the edge off things xx

ValiumQueen · 02/07/2013 14:58

Fatima they have me sertraline. Just ploughing through the leaflet. It is an SSRI so there are lots if things I have to avoid.

Donna congratulations GrinI hope you have a very easy pregnancy x

ValiumQueen · 02/07/2013 14:59

Not seen you in here for a while Wellieboots. Good to see you x

ChasingDaisy · 02/07/2013 15:00

Congratulations Donna, that's lovely news! Flowers

Yay for DD1 being asleep in her own bed PR!

ChasingDaisy · 02/07/2013 15:02

The drug wot I am on is an SSRI too VQ I think The only thing I avoid is alcohol. Is there more? Confused

PetiteRaleuse · 02/07/2013 15:05

They've both just woken up. DD1 told me she had had a really good sleep in her bed, she understood when I told her how proud I was and is looking several inches taller.

Am still going to switch rooms for LO at the weekend. But at least one of my battles is suddenly looking more realistic.

pig I am expecting the same reaction from LO. Ten days she stayed at my mum's and still cried when my mum or sister picked her up. Laughed raucously at them as soon as she was handed back to me or DH :o Over here nursery workers admit that sometimes it takes several weeks of constant crying before they get used to it. Sounds horrible but once they do get used to it they enjoy it, and, if you put it in perspective, it is a short period of time really. Awful for you, not fun for her, but as long as she is reassured by your love when you are with her there will be no harm done.

And, better have the whole separation anxiety thing dealt with now than when she is older and goes to school I remember crying a lot during my first days at school, and even when I went to my first sleepover years later

I think crying is only really a problem if, once she is settled, she suddenly stops wanting to go (might seem unrealistic to you now that she would want to go). This happened with DD1 and her CM and I started paying much more attention, as about this time the CM showed her true colours and was, and I'm not sure to what extent, mistreating her.

BigPigLittlePig · 02/07/2013 15:10

I'm not sure the CM could cope with that length of crying Confused. She admitted that she cried at one point yesterday as it was so upsetting that F couldn't be consoled.

PetiteRaleuse · 02/07/2013 15:17

Oh that's sweet. Try not to worry, she will suddenly decide that ok, after all, there are lots of new exciting things to be done at the CM's, and mummy does come back every time. Could it be that she doesn't want to be consoled. In that maybe having this new face so close to her's is disconcerting. Maybe if she was put in a chair or playpen and the CM stayed close enough to make the nice noises and show her toys, but didn't invade her space it might be easier? Maybe she already does this, depends on how many kids she is looking after. But LO loves other people as long as they keep their distance. DD1 is like this too, and over time I have realised that she is just not very tactile with anyone other than her dad, and, occasionally, me. Anyway, worth thinking about? And don't worry, she'll love it in the end.

LuisGarcia · 02/07/2013 15:17

congrats donna

Pinned down by a grumpy bucket of dribble. Have given up on doing anything today. Luckily MIL has taken J out. Everyone fed, no one dead, right?

daisychain76 · 02/07/2013 15:24

Awww, congrats donna that is so lovely (not that I'm completely Envy or anything...)

Thanks pidj. I think she is overcharging a bit but I am going to pay as I love slings and really want to get back to buying using them.
