I am always trying to engage my GP in poo chat but he screws his nose up. Silly man!

[Elizadoesdolittle]

I know what you mean bplp I would have thought it would turn my stomach but it doesn't. DH on the other hand nearly vomms himself whenever E is sick. He can't handle it.

It's hard to tell from the sheet as she rolled about in it before I saw it but from looking at it I can't see any lumps, apart from a couple of orange bits that are obviously carrots. And no more sick so far tonight so that's good.

Now all I need is my eye to stop oozing gunk!

.

[ValiumQueen]

There is always carrots. Night night all x

[Kirrin]

((hugs)) to chase and lily I cannot imagine how hard it is being on your own. But you will not always be alone, and in the meantime you need to build up a support network of friends. There are some great people out there, who will help you when you need it, babysit, support, pour the wine and commiserate when you need it. You just need to get out there and find them.

Hope your eye stops oozing soon Eliza

I am off to bed too - night all

[Elizadoesdolittle]

Haha vq never a truer word said.

Night all x

[TheDetective]

Can anyone help me?

Please have a look at my thread. It might not make sense! But help! Fucking jobcentre have started paying ESA in my sodding bank account! Fuminggggggggggggg!

[MadameGazelleIsMyMum]

Hello new thread. Am so busy not had time to catch up properly yet but will try and keep up with this one.

[Bryzoan]

Hi all,

Sorry about the lack of weight gain Eliza. I really sympathise. Dd only had her ng tube in a month but it was hard for both of us to adapt when it came out. I hated having to measure everything and she vommed loads more than with the tube too. Must be so so hard for you both after all that time. Hope you get the coffee grounds resolved. If it happens again maybe see if you can get a good photo?

Hugs to the loneliness and trapped feeling chasing. I think it will be hard but get gradually less so. And the fact that you had a taste today of what life could be like means perhaps it can be somtimes? And I think you will meet the right man in the end - please choose bloody carefully though! Would it work for exP (if you trust him enough) to have a little more contact with o to both help with familiarity and give him a break? Or could your dad commit to having him an evening a week for you to do something non baby? Big hugs - you are doing so well. Definitely use sure start and as many groups as you can.

Jj - I worry about things like that all the time too. Being a parent is so worrying sometimes it is ridiculous...

[Bryzoan]

Det sorry - looked at your thread but haven't a clue...

[Bryzoan]

Oh and Eliza - your eye... Try cleaning it with your breast milk if you can face it. Works wonders.

[LuisGarcia]

Hi everyone.

Really sorry that this is a driveby post, but I need to say a couple of things.

First, we're grand, thanks. MrsG is back at work, so I barely have time to eat let alone internet. L and J are sleeping better. Sometimes. They are an absolute joy to be around, though (in daylight hours).

Secondly, well, this is the hard one to get across properly. You have all been awesome for me in a time of need, but mumsnet as a whole hasn't. You were all brilliant about accepting me as an equal parent.

Thirdly, chasing I still lurk. I'm so glad you're a proper functional family of 2. You are brilliant.

Can anyone explain what the fuck has happened to Ls sleep please? How come he is now waking crying 2/3 times a night after sleeping through for so long?

[Bryzoan]

Luis it is wonderful to hear from you. Hugs and very best wishes to you, mrsg, j and l.

You have been brilliant to us too, more is the point. Sorry to hear the rest of mn has missed out o your friendship. I guess we were a bit prickly too when you first rocked up - sometimes it is hard for people to let go of preconceptions. No excuse for sexism though. Parents have a tough enough time as it is without isolating eachother / making eachother feel bad. Doesn't seem to stop it happening sadly. Sometimes I think people seem to need to get prickly to validate their own world view / decisions. I love how this quiche doesn't do that.

Anyway - if that was a goodbye post, I'm sorry. You've been a great friend to many in the quiche in our hours of need and we miss our dad. We will always be pleased to see you as and when you pop back in. Lovely to hear all is well for you all though. I just hope you are looking after those knees.

[PetiteRaleuse]

Good to hear from you Luis I'm sorry you've had a bad experience. This thread or on FB will always be a place you are welcomed with open arms.

[ValiumQueen]

Luis you will always be our Daddy, and you will always be welcome here. Would a name change help? I am sure we would soon realise who you are (((hug)))

[ValiumQueen]

Pikz the dreaded 9 month sleep regression?

J slept until 7. He is a star. He is also 10 months old today.

[Elizadoesdolittle]

Sorry you've had a bad experience luis the rest of mn can be pretty harsh. I only post in this bit really. Hope you at least check in with us time to time. And it's lovely to read things are going well for you, hope the nights get better soon.

Thanks bry eye is still gunky and bearly open now. I think it's conjunctivitis. Just hope neither of my girls get it. Am using separate towels etc. perhaps I'll give the bm a go (squims).

[ValiumQueen]

Detective I looked at your thread. Ask your union is my only thought. It is baffling.

[ChasingDaisy]

Luis we miss you.

Oscar has started eating solids again today thankfully. He came yesterday with tooth number 3 having popped through so that explains it.

[ValiumQueen]

J seems to have 2 more teeth actually through today, bring the count to 9. I guess I should be pleased most of the teething trauma is over for us. And relieved I am no longer bfing him. He has a daft number of teeth for one so young. The girls did not have this many until almost 2 IIRC.

[TheDetective]

Oh ffs! Sat here in some stupid poolside dress type thing. Not planning on getting dressed, doing my hair or anything when DP announces he has invited his mum over.

I want one fecking day to slob around ffs! None of us are dressed and the house is a mess.

Great. Fucking men.

[StuntNun]

Eliza the breastmilk will help with the conjunctivitis or you can get chloramphenicol eye drops over the counter.

I have to spend my Sunday tidying up too Detective. DH has taken DS1 and DS2 out leaving me in an awful tip. It's not even that I mind so much but there's nowhere to put James down to play that isn't covered in debris, coins, plectrums and wires. It really isn't fair for him to have no space of his own apart from his cot. I have tidied and vacuumed the living room but I have to spend all my time keeping him away from the fireplace, TV, Xbox and everything. But if we're moving in four weeks there isn't much point babyproofing now.

[PurplePidjin]

Stunt why don't you start on the packing?

[ValiumQueen]

I am making chicken broth I am using the bones from the roast dinner DH made this morning (it was ok, just a bit anaemic and done the SW way) J has been asleep for 3 hours
