Gosh guys the end of one fred and the beginning of another to catch up on!? What are you trying to do to me?!?

Soo...

Glad J enjoyed turtle tots izzy :) I've no advice re: feeding but I hope you manage to find the solution that works best for your family :) How did the pureeing go?

Eliza E's eating sounds like umm, e's lol! He will eat really well sometimes for up to a week but then it goes all rubbish! How did e do with her cup today? Eric's eating has been so so today. Mind you he has drank less today too so he could be having one of those days. Breakfast was hilarious, the usual palava, lunch was a complete no go and tea was wolfed down! Odd boy.

Happy birthday to DS2 stunt :) Hope you get some sleep tonight! You sound like you are in desperate need of some!

det I let e into my bed this morning at 5 till 7:30, he hasn't done it for such a long time and I miss him. Plus tomorrow morning me and dp are going down to london to see bon jovi, I drop e off at 10am and won't see him till 2pm saturday :( I am dreading it, really in knots about it, so bed time tonight took longer and this morning we had extra snuggles. Also why the fuck did you get a phonecall from the jc?!?! you have a bloody job! Idiots!

vq :( sending hugs to you and J, really glad the blood is due to a fissure - well, it's better to not have blood at all but for it to be a fissure rather than something more sinister iyswim is 'good' (I hope this is coming across as i'm meaning it to!) I hope the abs help J's chest, bless him

catbag hellooo! missed you!!!!

sorry to read about the bad nights last night :( very late Brew

ooh bry very brave re the party! Hope it goes well and R has a fantastical day :)

yw nine months regression? really? I do not want said regression in this house

Evil half a slice of toast isn't bad going :) Keep up the good work n!

Oh pr that is so cunting unfair! Fucking bolloxing cold! I hope dd2 gets better soon!

pass breakfast goes very similarly here with alot of nnnnnnn nnnnn noises. If preoccupied with toys or something he will eat something from a spoon. If not, he usually will not, and tends to half arsed nom on toast. Soreen goes down much better and he tries and gags on bagel

BPLP OMFG, i would be absoloutely livid and really upset! What a complete and utter bitch! She does not deserve to look after F! She should not be looking after any kids with an attitude like that!!! I would definitely report her, what an awful awful woman. I really hope you find something else for F, what a vile individual, i'm so so so fucked off on your behalf!!!! ooh hope the nursery is as good as it sounds :)

chasing that is THE best news EVER!!! So so pleased for you and O :D :D :D :D :D I know it's really scary but look how brilliantly you're doing! You will come back from this and do fantastically :) O is so so so fucking lucky to have you

Guyyysss stop talking a minute i've only just finished the last fred!!! Right.... onto this ere new one!

Cloth nappies... had always intended on using them, and never got round to it Blush and I wouldn't know where to start now! E has size 5+ pampers active fit in the day and the blue dry wotsits at night, though.

I also love the sticky on fb, some gorgeous names, and lovely to realise who is who, I think I had most people sorted anyway but not everybuddy

I need to get the end of a fred at some point, i have never finished one yet!

Sounds like a good plan with the bananas pr. What I am sick of is the fact eric likes to poo in his highchair. So twice this week i have thrown a vest away because he has made it all shitty and grimm because he poos and wiggles and eats and just ew. The only saved bit was the boy himself. And even then he practically needed a hosing down!

Glad you're feeling better now det eating are important, you knows!

gt that would royally piss me off. I have had the same 'argument' with my dps grandparents. They constantly want to give him bars of chocolate or biscuits! I'm not fussed about him having the odd treat but he doesn't need stuffing full of them all the while and definitely not just before a bottle when I know he'll ram the lot down his neck!

LOL PR I will be in a hotel room with dp for two nights from tomorrow. I hope to pass the time in the same manner as the flies :P though not on the ceiling

also, hope you feel better soon, and LO too

Hey meals! lovely to hear from you :)

sophia WOOOHOOO!!! glad o seems ok with the pox hope they piss off soon

mm1 i have had a packing session for going to london. I have had to pack e's stuff too because he is going to mil's for the time we are away. It is mega stressy packing for me, dp and then e! Why does it feel like moving out when i have to pack eric's things?!?! Hope you get your packing etc done alright :)

fuck me, page 4, finally!!!

det if you reckon he'd like them, go for it! :) My mum likes kitchen stuff too the weirdo. Or at least i hope she does cos i keep buying her it :P Not really, I always buy her something she needs eg kitchen stuff and then something she wants too like a book

oh pass you make me laugh! I thought similar and didn't manage it either! Eric has a dummy, is ff, eats pouches of ek and has disposable nappies. am the epitome of lazy in mum-world

Oh my goodness!

Right, to add my little bit, if anyfucker has gotten this far...

Took E swimming today for the first time, how crap am i?!?! and he adored it, tried swimming, didn't cry even though he was tired, was really enjoying himself :) He's been a sod bit difficult with food today and i'm now worried about going away tomorrow :S but he'll be ok, right?

He has stayed at mils overnight so i know he is ok there, and he was there during the days when Elyza was in hospital, I just worry and I am going to miss him more than I could describe. It's not fair. Why is it that when I leave him for any length of time I feel like I can't breathe? Who on earth made me this way? Sure I love other people but if they went away, ok, fine, see you soon. If e is not there I feel like a deer in headlights. I panic, and I worry, and I fret and then I panic some more.

Come across a lovely song by Rod Stewart called pure love. Unfortunatley came across it on the ipod tonight putting eric to bed, ended up in utter pieces on the floor with him laughing his tits off snogging my chin. Weirdo. God I love that boy.

Right... I have checked, there have been no more posts, and this must be the longest one to date...?

Feel the same re: leaving him.

I think because the last couple of months have been such hard work in terms of sleep/feeding I feel that if anyone else looks after him all the work will be undone. So I feel nervy leaving him. Even though O is actually fine with being left. As far as MIL says anyway!! Plus as much as I'd love a break, I just don't want to leave him. Feels like a massive part of me has dropped off. You know, like my leg. Or my brain. Confused

It's hard. It is. There is no getting away from it. Just enjoy your time off and look forward to getting back to him!

Do they do baby knee pads?!

O's knees were very red this evening after a day of crawling about!

Poor boy! It probably didn't help that he was just in a vest today as it was warm, and he was too hot in a babygrow in our house!

Passmethecrisps · 03/07/2013 22:20

Oh and izzy my DH has gout like *BP suggested. It does look like that. It flares up and hurts like you can't imagine. Well, you probably can. At its worst it was excruciating. It is transient and ibuprofen is the key. Paracodol is also good.

He is not elderly or rotund or port drinking well, not much anyway!!

Kyzordz · 03/07/2013 22:45

I worry he will refuse to eat anything, I also worry he will forget me. Dp booked the tickets, I wanted to go, I also wanted to go and see pulp but didn't because I couldn't bear to leave him. But dp meant well and I do love bon jovi and mil has had e before and sees him at least once a week, I am sure he will be fine

Not caught up properly, but just wanted to say Detective - you see me Smile I could have written that myself if I were only honest enough. Of course you left out the bronchiofuckinglitis and recurring chest infections for him and me, and the fact I am very old and very fat. Plus I do not have a 21yo with a huge wanger begging me for sex every day Grin

Aaaargh, too much to catch up on! Sorry, I'm not as organised as Kyz!

I find an extra load of washing every three days far easier than hauling boxes of nappies up the stairs and storing them!

Cam home from work tonight to a baby asleep in his cot and vvvdp watching tv he's still asleep (from 8:15) so fx Operation Forcefeed Milk has been a success Hmm

I got some cloth nappies off free cycle in just before DD1 was born. And put them back on free cycle again a year later, having never even taken them out of the box Blush Who was I kidding?! I am far too lazy for that sort of thing!

Detective I vote for the knives. Sounds like a thoughtful present from what you've said.

VQ Go the fuck to bed my lovely.

Kyz Yes, I agree. Both E's sound remarkably similar. This morning she couldn't get enough of the cup but would she take puree from a spoon today, would she hell! Prefered finger foods which I'm happy to give her but I need to make sure she gets food into her, which she bearly does doing it BLW stylee. She loves holding the food, playing with it and noming it, but then coughs it back up. I wish I could work her out. They are silly little sausages!

And make sure you go to Bon Jovi. E will be fine, you will be fine and you'll have a great time. It's hard leaving them but it does get easier.

itsnotyouitsMeals · 03/07/2013 23:07

Thanks kyz

You will have an amazing time and E will be fine though it is vvv hard to leave them. LO had her first bottle on Fri as DH and I went to see Laurie Anderson at the barbican. We were gone 5 hours and I cried on the way there! It's still hard second time.

I did not think I would be the co-sleeping type but still doing it 3.5 years down the line! You never know... though did always plan to cloth bum. Getting a load of nappies free from a mate helped. She's having number three any day and I need to return them. Luckily I have another load from a friend. Lots of cloth bum types in Oxford.

chasing have said it before, but you are brave and strong and can do anything. det is an inspiration.

I snorted and made the dog bark VQ.

I am very fat, and feel old too. :) Nothing like children to add a decade or 3 on, is there?

DP thinks he could keep up daily shagging. The reality is, he can not! Hah! He's got nothing on this old bird ;) Not that anything is occurring lately thanks to O!.

But yes, I skated over the broncifuckinlitis and termed as 'illness' lmao. But given it is sweary wednesday, I should have fucking well included it Grin.

Feeling any better? Chest wise?

TheDetective · 03/07/2013 23:14

Inspiration? Shock

No, just lucky. :) Hard work and luck, and at least one good parent to make sure they were there to catch me when I fell. Thank fuck!

I should go to bed. Really. Right now....

Have fun kyz. You WILL be fine! More importantly. E will be fine!

I'd kill to see the Jove. Biatch! Grin
