The 6th Broadly Gemini Luxury Bus - this way ladies.

[FrussoHathor]

Welcome aboard our 6th bus ladies.

Today is not a good day. my head is reeling. I'm on the cusp of a panic attack. I can feel it building.

I'm going to hide and rock now.

Could somebody please tell my ds that his fist and my boob will not fit in his mouth at the same time.

The fish that your mouth where are you
Just looked at my phone and this ^ last line had written itself.

Hmm, yeah I understand 2 year olds and their distractions but Ds#2 is 3.5 years old and knows how to get dressed entirely by himself. When I tell him to put on a pair of pants or a shirt he throws himself on the floor and just wails "I CAN'T DO IT". I could totally get him dressed and we could be out the door, but it's so annoying that he won't do it himself that we have a battle of the wills everyday.

Are you okay frus?

Holy buckets agnu that is impressive!

Dd wee-ed in the sandpit at nursery. and not an accident. oh dear.

Buckets you say, bring? I might be needing a bucket with my supply!

for Frus. Today will be over soon. Tomorrow might be better...

I managed to totally forget about the breastfeeding group I'd planned to go to today! DH dragged me to the GP about some moles that I've been meaning to get checked for years a little while. Then he went into work while DS1 & I made towers, walkways, slides, tunnels & dens with cardboard boxes... That's when we should've been there. DS1 insisted on having lunch early & going straight to bed so I carried on with tie-dying muslins & starting a blog about it! V exciting! Anyhoo, must dash... I've got to remove a muslin from some rhubarb-turmeric water before DS1 gets any more irrate at being left in his cot!

Thanks for the not a easy or short fix. But can't do anything over the weekend, so have and

I think af is coming back to town I could kill for some right now.

Oh no bring that's far to early. when did ad come back last time. I had some twinges a few weeks ago. So I think I'm ovulating again. But if af can stay away for another 9 months I'll be happy.
I have horrible afs, and dr agreed that there is no contraception that doesn't involve hormones that stops afs. So I may have to look into more drastic option s when the pain comes back.

Oh no bring, I'm more then happy for mine to stay away for the next year!
What about the coil frus, can't you get a hormone free one, my cousin and work collegue have them and can't recomend them enough! X

No kitty because the copper coil can make periods heavier and I need them to stop. (Endo) and can't have the hormone wasn't because I don't react well to them.

Well, M has been sleeping through the night for the past month, I started having some twinges on one side (like you frus) which is making me think that I'm ovulating again. It was 13 months before it showed up with ds2, but he was feeding around the clock still at that point. I got a copper coil placed on the 19h and bled for a week (so I don't know if that was b/c of the coil or if it was af)...anyway, I feel like I'm pms'ing big time and would kill for some chocolate!

In other news, Dh acquired an air hockey table that the neighbors were giving away b/c they are moving and the boys have been in the basement for the past 3 hrs playing with random visits to the toilet and up for food. Best free thing we've ever gotten why the f didnt we get this sooner????

I wish I had the space for an air hockey table. That sounds like fun entertainment for dcs bring
I knew there was a reason I was happy that my dcs don't sleep through early on.

pear have tried that pacifier, and whilst ds takes it longer than the others. Well he sucks twice, and since I can't physically get any other pacifier into his mouth, it's progress. but I am still a human pacifier.

Dh and I had an air hockey tournament last night. I won! It's definitely worth the amount of space that it takes up in the basement.

M is starting to suck on her entire fist, and is also sucking in her bottom lip (which is pretty much the cutest thing, ever).

How's your booby feeling, Lor?

Aww Frus that is a shame! I guess we just have to take it as a compliment. Can't get better than us Will you give up now? I've still got to try that expensive boob shaped bottle I've been putting it off as I already know the answer!!

To be honest pear I haven't tried very hard to get him to take one. Dds just seemed to take to them without much persuading. Although it was dh persuading them Plus i dont like the hassle of weaning them off them. Dds both seemed to have a secret stash and find one once I'd taken visible away. And then they loose them at night.
Dd2 use to have 3 at night, one in each hand and one in her mouth. And cry if she lost one. But if she lost the one in her mouth she'd never use one of the ones in her hand. asd showed early on

I quite like that he hasn't taken to them. It makes me feel
needed.

Boob shaped bottle is always worth a try, you never know.

Ooh and I've just managed a nappy change without waking ds. Oooch.

You ladies had better be doing your pelvic floors.
Ive been having trouble weeing and I've just had a post DC furtle and its not good. I have definately fit a prolapse of some sort. Drs on Monday.
Get pelvic flooring ladies.

Oh dear frus that's definitely not good. Sounds like a cystocele (I've seen a minor one before), good idea to get it checked out. Yes, do your squats and your kegels.

Ds1 was a nightmare to get weaned off the dummy! Ds2 is still a thumb sucker at 3.5 years old...and now M has found comfort in sucking on the side of her fist. We shall see if this evolves into anything else.

Just have to share about our excellent trip to the farmer's market this morning. $40 worth of produce that included 5lbs of potatoes, 12 ears of corn, 1lb of green beans, 1pint of strawberries, 1 pint of raspberries, a huge bundle of kale, a huge bundle of swiss chard, a bunch of coriander, 1lb of yellow summer squash, 1/2 lb of green courgettes, 2 dilicata squash and three giant heirloom tomatoes. I love the end of summer! This week is going to be YUM.

Wow bring that is an amazing amount of produce. I am jealous of how delicious it all sounds.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's a cystocele. Question is do I contact doctors or self refer to the GUmedicine clinic.
I'm also doomed in that I can't avoid heavy lifting with dd2.

Oh frus that doesn't sound good, can you tell from how it feels just needing the toilet etc? I must admit I'm terrible, never do pelvic floors etc I darnt imagine how mind could be eeek would I know?
Bring sometimes something comes into our world and we can't imagine how we lived without it, sounds like that air hockey table is yours
Congrats on the hoard too, I love a good bargin me!
Frus just to make you jeleous my af never came back until I stoped bf completely, I was only doing one feed aday for a few months and still nothing, I actually wanted to get pregnant again hence stoping really

Well dd2 has started to wake up in the night, she's 15wks today and this is almost an exact replication of what happened with dd1 just before I started food, do we think growth spurt?, I really do t want to start food yet ( well I won't till 17wks earliest) but I'd like it to go later then that but really don't want to break the sleeping through habit, it's been amazing for 4 wks now, do you think it will stop if I persist with just milk, should I not feed her but try to get her back to sleep without or with abit of water? I don't think this will work

Morning kitty I can't give tried advise on sleeping through as mine never have perhaps a dream feed before she wakes and get that slowly earlier and earlier until its a bedtime feed again?

Tmi alert.
Past week or so I haven't been able to empty my bladder
properly at night. and I can't sleep if I need a wee and I thought maybe my bladder was misaligned. So I had a furtle to push it back so I could wee. And my entire front wall feels like its flopped down. and my cervix feels post Ov low but that may or may not mean anything
I don't think it was flopped after birth, I think it's come on since then with lifting dd as I could wee properly after birth.

kitty can you fully empty your bladder, and can you stop mid wee and then wee again? But that would only apply to the front wall. Other bits can flump too.

Oh dear god I'm a bad mummy. Ds just fell of the sofa. It was like watching it in slow-mo. he kinda went feet first, slipped down and fell backwards and donked his head on the floor. I feel like this---> I guess I should be grateful that he didn't land 2 inches to the left and wack his head on the foot of the footstool.
He finally stopped screaming, and latched on with quivering sobs. He seems okay now he's feeding.

Oh no! I can just imagine the quivering sobs everytime something bad happens it seems to be in slow motion, I'm dure he will be right as rain now he's back with his favourite things
I can do the stop start wees fewsh
I may settle in the ignorance in bliss category
Not sure a dream feed will work frus as its late on she's been waking, 5:30 2 of the nights ( I can live with that) but last night 3:30 then 4:20 it is only 2 days since injections so maybe that? Plus felt colder in her room last night, little hands were frozen ( clutches at straws) funnily inbetween that was the mamouth 13hrs sleep so I don't know what's going on

Injections and cold could wake them. Ds's feet were cold last night too. So I snuggled him in with me.
Carboot again. Got a redkite carrier for £5. (With a weather cover). Suitable for why I need if for.
Ds seems himself again grumbling for more boob
