Definitely Pass, my J would never have got a diagnosis without the word on here. I had to talk the GP into giving me the meds. And who knows what Izzy would be going through now.

First wake up already. A screaming one at that. Ever time I have tried to put teething gel on him today he has screamed when I touch his gums The only thing stopping him crying all day is a cold teething ring. Bastard tooth better be fully popped tomorrow as tonight is going to be horrific.

Ahhh don't talk about second babies, then we might have to start thinking about what to do and possibly face up to the fact that it's very likely M may be an only one. Too much to think about at the moment. But now may leave is coming to an end, a second mat leave looks appealing

No plans for a second here. Obvs.

Evening everyone!

Amazing day today, so much fun. I'm bloomin' knackered now though. Fairly odd start to the day - F woke at 5, got her back to sleep at 6, turned off my alarm, thinking "I'll use the small shrieky person for an alarm clock" and she slept til 8.30 . So was a bit of a rushed affair early on. She was such a star, she had 2 20 minute naps all day, but nommed like a pro (sausages a big hit) and went to bed like a dream. So so proud of her today, I could burst.

Interesting hiccup chat. F had hiccups in utero all. The. Time. At least 4 or 5 bouts lasting 30 minutes EACH DAY. And that carried on, in fact got worse, once she was born. I didn't have the WC jab though told them where exactly they could stick it, and it wasn't my arm

I can't wait to have another baby. I am so broody it is unreal, but I know I need to complete this part of my training, which ends Aug 2015. I may take a year out then to have a 2nd. We shall see how things go.

Madam glad you had a lovely weekend, it sounds amazing. I think me and dh need to get away together, and escape the wee terrorists

Izzy have replied on your thread - I hope you can find a solution.

Cannot believe I have to go to work tomorrow. I really feel as though I have spent hardly any time with F, what with the 2 long days yesterday and Friday. I miss her.

Am also STUPIDLY emotional - thanks bf hormones. Have cried, ooh, about 3 times today.

MM if it were me I'd get your relationship on an even keel (hell DP still hasn't had his brain scan has he?) you have years of fertility and any baby made years down the line in a stable relationship would be just as awesome as M is. Have another now and your Ma would have kittens that you were following in her footsteps, DP needs to prove he's not like your Dad to her (and I think to you too?) I reckon my love. Part of my rush is my age - I'm 35 in November I don't have time to wait years and I want the drudge years of nappies, sleeplessness and time out of my career compressed... Also financially we can manage it - providing I get MA and 6 months of freelance earnings saved.

I waited 10 years for a second MM. So I could get my life in order (or as order as you can get it!) You've got plenty of time yet :)

I just don't know what to do for best! I'm out all day tomorrow and at a park so bottles tricky especially as until he takes full Neocate I can't just take a flask and powder. I'd need to take BM as well. So my plan for now is try to move him to bottles, slowly keep upping the neocate and give him bottles when I can. The likes of tomorrow is awkward so I think I'm just going to have to feed him myself when I'm out...

DH also forgot to give j his meds this morning!! Annoying!

3+ year gap here, and contraception to ensure it! Dp was all for a small gap until i pointed out that he and his brother are the only close age siblings I've ever met who got on as kids...

One wake last night, but it was 1:15-3 think i accidentally ended up with caffeinated coffee, he was desperate to be asleep but just kept waking on transfer. Been at bil's today, shattered PidjChick howled his way home for 2 hours, poor love.

Evening all,

BP Glad you had a fab day. I'm not surprised F was a little star. Well done her.

Re hic-up chat, both DD1 and E had hic-ups all the time when in my tummy. DD1 had them on a very regular basis when out, E not so much. I had the WC jab, and E has silent reflux. DD1 had no reflux at all.

Re baby chat, I'd love a third. DH not so much. But then I'm in control so he'd go with the flow! But realistically we couldn't have a third for quite some time. I wouldn't want a short age gap, I'm just not cut out of it. Maybe when DD1 starts school next september I'd think about it. But by then I'd be nearly 40 and perhaps not want to go through the baby stage again. Who knows. Never say never but I'd be happy with just my 2 girlies.

God well I wasn't broody until you all started posting new born pics on fb. They are all so gorgeous. My Dsis is due in a week. I can have nb snuggles soon. Can't wait!

DS1 hiccoughs every day in utero - no reflux but did have colic.
DS2 and DS3 no hiccoughs - one has reflux and one doesn't.

I'm not convinced tbh.

So who's going to end the thread then?

Not me. Night night x

Not me either! Night from me!

Evening all :)

pr maybe keep taking the meds till you see the consultant? Sorry you're in pain :(

izzy e was having between 38-46oz a day before solids if that helps any

Babies... I'd have another baby now, unless I am with elyza and she is having a whingy day and I think ugh, newborn bit. I loved some aspects of the newborn bit but definitely prefer it now e is older. I have a recurring dream of havin 3 sons but then I don't know if I could manage labour again, lol! I don't know when I'd plan another but I'd like a spring baby

pass I love new pens and suchlike!

Ooh yw backwards crawling go j! E can do two steps forward then he falls to the side

E hiccuped aaaaall the time in utero, and several times a day in the early months. He wasn't ever awake/alert though as described, he has always been a really lazy thing

So glad you had a good day bplp :)

I desperately want to end the Fred but also desperately want to go to bed too! Just been watching David attenboroughs micro monsters cos I had it recorded. Fascinating!

Night quiche

James just woke screaming again. Not helped by the fact there appears to be a party a few doors down. Ladies screeching the power of love, a source from above! Thats all the words they appear to know!!

J was rooting around and trying to latch on everywhere, he shouldn't technically have been hungry as he had 6oz at 10.20pm but he's just downed 5oz of milk so he must have been!!? I'm worried of overfeeding him! He is rather chunky but as he was BF I just got told well done! Couldn't really not feed him could I? I just have no clue!

He's back in cot now so will see how long it lasts. I can hear him shuffling about so not long I expect.

Hugs izzy thinking of you.

1st wake up here

I'm here too pidj.... Again! Thanks for the hug meals I'm struggling.

He woke crying again. It could be due to missing the omeprazole dose? Or cos I BF him 3 times yesterday morning? Or because he's a pain in the butt! He didn't try and eat me and settled with a cuddle so he's back down. All in the space of 6 mins!

I'm considering finishing the thread but there s a few too many posts needed!

He's grumping again in cot but not full on crying.... Don't want to lie down yet as I think he'll be up properly soon. I'm tired....

J was squealing in his cot. Not a proper cry, just a little piggy squeal. Must be his new noise. I skipped the dream feed again and he's managed to go six hours from his last feed. He wasn't asleep all that time though, I must have resettled him ten times after he initially went to bed.

He lasted 40 minutes :-( just enough time for me to think I'd get back to sleep for a bit.

He is back in cot again now. I don't think I can take much more of this. I don't know what to do. I'm blaming myself for letting him feed from me yesterday morning and then blaming dh for forgetting his meds. I don't know how much either of those is affecting him, I gave him a double dose of meds before bed too so that makes me think it's my fault. I just want to sleep.

Just lost my bloody post!

He lasted another 40mins. I went and heated a bottle and he won't take the bloody thing. Eventually got him to take one measly ounce. He won't go Back in cot without crying and I can't cosleep as it's too hot and I'm too tired. DH was also sitting in here gawping at us, what fucking help is that?! If you're gonna be up at least be up and take your fucking son, don't sit and stare at me getting all frustrated. I ended up swearing at him and telling him to Fuck off out of my way and that if he didn't I'd throw something at him!!!

J is now lying sleeping in my arms and I want to cry. I know he won't go back into cot. I'm hit and sweaty and annoyed.

Argh!!!!
