I'm afraid to fart.

cross post with about 10 of you.

fatima thats awful :( I don't know how people cope with things like that. I feel absolute fear just hearing about it :( :( :(

Glad things are looking up VQ

PR That made me laugh out loud.

DP is pretty good detective But he has had both of them all day while I have been at work, He has now gone to work himself, and he is fasting. I pretty much accept that bedtime is my problem. He is quite often already at work when they go to bed so I need to be able to do it myself. I think the problem is that DD1 has twigged that I am sitting with N while she settles and is jealous :( I have tried and tried to get N down earlier so I can do DD1's bedtime just us, but it is just not working at the moment.
I will come up with a plan for tomorrow, and probably just keep trying things until something works.

I see! Hmmmm, I've not had to do 2 to bed, so counting my blessings there!

vq that is good news ! :)

That's fab news vq

vq So glad you are feeling much more like your usual self. Long may it continue.

detective DH want's the royal baby to be called Trevor. Once when we were discussing names for DD1 he said he wanted Trevor for a boy or Trevor Bitch for a girl. Needless to say I didn't bother involving him in any further discussions about names.

I'm looking forward to hearing what they call him. fruit I love hearing name announcements too.

fatima That's so sad

Three to bed is fun too. J is just asleep so going to try to transfer him. DH has already gone to bed poor tired thing. Hint of sarcasm there btw.

If you are reading Izzy, we miss you x

Trevor Bitch - I nearly woke J with my response to that one!

Your poor poor DH VQ. Poor little love needs his rest.

So so glad you are starting to feel brighter. Antidepressants can take 6-8 weeks to work so that may be a factor but I'm sure it is J doing much better which has really helped

king trevor would be great!
I can't remember who mentioned Chardonnay upthread, but I was hoping they would go down that route too - just for the comedy value
What about Nigel?

Trevor Bitch

VQ that news has made me happier than the Royal Baby today. V pleased.

Just looking at a pic from L's first night, holding on to my little finger. Never been happier. Also the liquid morphine was great. Hope hrh is having a similar experience right now. The happiness not the morphine!

Det omfg! Fucking idiots.

Chasing I had to ask someone to remove a pic from FB of lo. She seemed really put out "only my friends can see it" erm well of the over 300 friend u have I know 20. So take it off!

Fatima. What a sad time for that couple. Heart breaking. Telling my bump to be safe and healthy.

My lo sleeps well apart from today! He first slept through at 8ish weeks. But then went off on a tangent n woke one a night for a feed.
At 6months we decided to get tough. Start giving water at 3am feed. N it worked.
He now regularly does 7.30- 7. But the nicest thing is we wake up to him playing , chatting to himself and amusing himself (rather then crying) which makes wake ups less stressful. And for the last two days he has surprised us by sitting up on his own in his cot. Q panic at lowering cot!

Right must go to sleep now.

Oh n I didn't realise WWF would resign all my games! Going to have to start all over again. I'll be bk to normal playing speed on Wednesday. Can't wait for summer holidays!

I'm laid wide awake, listening to DHs snoring, wondering if M is going to wake. About 45 mins ago she woke and cried once and obviously went back to sleep. Now I can't sleep because I think she'll wake up and because DH is a noisy snory twat

Brilliant storm here, but now my bed is rather crowded! N is having a bottle and DD1 is excited/scared of the noise and lightening.

Every fucking two fucking hours. Forgot the fucking bedtime calpol

Morning,

So tired. O slept through afterall. I want a newborn snuggle, I just tries skin to skin with O and she blew raspberries on me. Great.

Quick!

do I need to top up with bf or has he had enough

Hope everyone is well. Has been Aaaaaaages since I last posted!

Morning. Shite night here. Depite leaving all windows open all night the house hasn't cooled down at all. Well, it has, but only to 26 degrees. It felt like a proper storm, but it was just messing with me :)

LO up twice as she's hardly eaten during the day (too hot I guess) so was hungry during the night. Fun.

I drank too puch coke yesterday evening as it was the only cold thing I had so was buzzing til about 3 anyway. I try not to drink it during the evening but it was just soo hot. Note to self: put water in the fridge. Twat.

Couldn't sleep. Now up for the day. Fuck you thunder. Cunt.

20 minutes of wasted time and effort rocking a great big lump for him to shoot back up seconds later thanks to the cunting thunder.

DP back to work today. Good timing haha!

We still had two feeds between bedtime and morning. Maybe J isn't getting enough solid food in the day.

We viewed a house yesterday and I'm going to phone the estate agent today and put an offer on! It has a spare room, i.e. an extra one that we don't actually need! We could have a spare bedroom or a kids playroom or a second tv in it. I'm trying not to get my hopes up though as they've been dashed so many times before.

M decided 4:44am was a good time to get up for the day. Ended up with her in with me, cuddled up spooning. Now my arm aches but at least she went back to sleep eventually

Stunt you do not need to be subtle with us. We know that room is earmarked for baby number 4

J slept from 10.30 ish to 7! Well done my boy! I woke numerous times due to bad dreams and things on my mind, but I feel fairly rested.

Pass how is hubby getting on with his approaching deadline?
