A woman after my own heart Lily.

Jims · 22/07/2013 20:28

I also have some unused infant gaviscon if anyone would like it.

ChasingDaisy · 22/07/2013 20:31

It's ok PR I'll let it pass this time. I'm doing the passive agressive thing of responding to every 'aww he's cute' comment with a thank you so there is no doubt as to whose baby he is.

YellowWellies · 22/07/2013 20:34

Pass and cambazola, roblochon dunsyre blue, a big sweaty salty mature cheddar etc etc

Evil I've always thought J had reflux (I know I see it everywhere but I've called it pretty well too!) from his screamy unsettled behaviour, his dislike of being laid flat when he was wee, his back arching when feeding, his grumping at times (probably tummy pain) to his persistent cough and vomiting. His cough could well be stomach acid irritating his throat but he could also have refluxed into his lungs in which case it's pretty serious - but either would mean he's in pain and as his Mum only you can go to the docs and get him help. I'd write down a list of all of the symptoms he's had since he was wee and go and see the doc. Google reflux symptoms as you might find some you've forgotten he had. You've suspected it too for ages haven't you? What does P think?

The thing about Facebook is if someone puts a pic up and tags you than thousands can see it, privacy or not. I know that no one in my friends would repost or tag a pic without my permission. A friend had her baby pic used on a website advertising baby products without her permission, someone just downloaded it. No, thank you. My baby, my rights.

Lily311 · 22/07/2013 20:35

Yes to unused gaviscon. I mean I have tons left if someone needs it.

ValiumQueen · 22/07/2013 20:36

J is a bottle down on the day. He has fallen asleep in his high chair twice and in the Jumperoo twice. Growth spurt me thinks. Three of these incidents were before he was lassoed out of his bouncer by DD2. I had just gone to make bottles and heard screaming from all three. Poor J was flat on his face with his feet caught in the harness. Oops. First of many I am sure.

Night night all, and a hug for you Pass x I too have been very upset at being unable to give J cheese.

PetiteRaleuse · 22/07/2013 20:37

It's a boy!!!

ChasingDaisy · 22/07/2013 20:37

It's a royal boy!

ChasingDaisy · 22/07/2013 20:37

Haha PR if anyone was going to beat me to it, it was going to be you!

Evilwater · 22/07/2013 20:37

yellow he thinks it's a bug, as drs say. Mind you if the drs said to bath in spaghetti for a week we would do it.

det that's awful! I never heard such drivel. I hope the unions sort them out.

YellowWellies · 22/07/2013 20:38

Sorry I meant N not J Evil am far too used to wittering on like a blethering idiot about my own son! Blush

BigPigLittlePig · 22/07/2013 20:38

I wouldn't swap places with Kate for all the tea in China. Much as I love showing off my baby, it is on my terms, not on the terms of the worlds media. Privacy is an undervalued commodity. That said I am sooooo intrigued to see the baby!

Det that's total wank would have used the g-word but don't dare! - I hope the union are able to help you out although no doubt, you'll give them a piece of your mind!

Lily could you chuck a bucket of water out your window? Wink

Stunt that's just plain stupid. Of course you can give them both together! If you want our gaviscon supply, then pm me and am happy to send it your way xx

PR can't imagine for one moment why you don't want your MIL to have the kids....!

Pass have a you silly sausage. Better day tomorrow.

DH and I were watching a program earlier - The girl withh 90% burns. We got as far as the bit where her mum was describing discovering that the room was on fire with her daughter in it, and were both in floods. I literally had to sob at him to turn it off. Bloody awful.

DH came with me to collect F from nursery today - we went into the room, and she was sat on the floor, merrily nomming a toy. She didn't see us, so I was en route to her to say hello and give her a cuddle, when DH sort of bellowed "littlepig". She jumped a country mile and screamed with shock, then sobbed and sobbed! I think dh was a bit gutted, as I've been raving about the amazing grins I get when I collect her!

ValiumQueen · 22/07/2013 20:39

Boy!

Passmethecrisps · 22/07/2013 20:39

Really? Never? Did they GM him?

I can hear cheering. Honestly, I can. Weird

Lily311 · 22/07/2013 20:41

Oh, I feel slightly disappointed. Wanted them to have a girl.

BigPigLittlePig · 22/07/2013 20:42

Waaah excited! A little prince! 8lbs 6 - a wee whopper! I bet Kate feels on top of the world. That feeling when you first hold your newborn baby and sniff their scrummy smell? Nothing like it.

Evilwater · 22/07/2013 20:43

Yay another boy!!

That should read "he would do it"
Also N isn't sleeping through night, he always wakes up for milk.

Evil

Pikz · 22/07/2013 20:44

Hope they call him something obscure

Pass I too have had one of those days...to the point DP said I am worried about you...it's just teeth and crawling and growth spurt all in one.

Det I have to use zip front bags where the zip ends by his feet with no poppers or he gets out!

Pikz · 22/07/2013 20:44

I wwwwwannnnnnt a tinnnnnnny bbbbbabbbbbbbyyyy

Passmethecrisps · 22/07/2013 20:48

pikz is that it? Teeth and crawling and growing? It's not that p is on terrible form - she was much worse before learning to crawl but so sleepy but can't/won't. She now starts to sob as soon as I turn Ewan on and is in hysterics while I try to wrestle her into her sleeping bag.

And some fucking kids just woke her up running the full length of my street just screaming. Not a playful scream or a frightened scream but just screaming to fill the air with their own noise.

Pikz · 22/07/2013 20:50

Pass we have that exactly...I think it's too much going on. It's like his brain can't cope.

Pikz · 22/07/2013 20:52

We have found getting him in his bag but then sit in his arm chair and talk and cuddle him for 10/15mins seems to lead to less screaming when put down.

Kyzordz · 22/07/2013 20:53

Evening all :)

chasing you've reminded me I wanted to take e to the library :) will try and do that this week. Sounds like you've had a mega productive day, go you!

clarella 5 mins is better than no mins trying to be positive :)

detective that is fucking wank! How the merry fuck is it not pregnancy related???

pass everybody has those days, have a hug. If it helps I wibbled at tea because e was being difficult and he only has 3 bottles and omg he might die and so forth and then I thought no, I can't wibble, think of the quiche! So I tried my best to be unbothered and tomorrow is a new day :) hope your tomorrow is better :)

lily that would do my head in too, ugh!!
