A big kiss and a cuddle to you WL to cheer you up.

I'm annoyed with MiL. She had J today 2/30-5:30, I sent his tea and a bottle. Apparently he didn't want any of his bottle unlikely as the 3pm bottle is the only one he wolfs down. So she put it back in his (brand new yesterday) George pig backpack without the lid. Bag drenched in milk, DP's just told me now that it needs washing. Wtf didn't he wash it himself?

He also didn't want his tea so she gave him 3 baby biscotti and a jar of rice pudding (that she's been desperate to give him for months).

She now has asked to make it every week that she has him and gives him his tea. No fucking way. There's a reason DP was 7 stone overweight when he lived with her.

Thanks for the cuddle willyou. That would piss me off too - weird controlling behaviour.

And absolutely if it needs washing then don't tell me about it just do it.

Just washing it is too much effort simple though isn't it?

J has an awful awful cough. He sounds like he's choking and I keep running in like a loon every 2 minutes to check he's still breathing. He's snoring like a train so I think he's fine! I sense a restless night in store for me.

Night all

Grrrr! at your mil willyou, I'd be fuming. And as for your DP, I believe in "see it, do it". Hope J's cough doesnt interrupt too much sleep.

Can't get back to sleep...

WillYou I'd be too. My mum gave dd Indian take away when she was 13 months

Hope you're feeling cheerier WL

Agree on the weird mil behavior willyou, it's odd how possessive ILS and GPS can get over them, isn't it? I feel quite lucky to have relatives who tend to think that the mother is She Who Must Be Obeyed, so no clashes yet..

O is fully better from his ear infection, yay! Back to night weaning (booo), but think we're getting there - slept 8pm-3am half to settle with water and cuddles then 3.39-6.15. Now having lovely snoozy morning feed then hoping he'll sleep most of the way to Manchester (and back, fun day of driving for me.)

What did dd make of that spooky? Still steering clear of added salt/sugar but everything else goes. He was munching away on an artichoke today...

R likes curry from a jar and egg fried rice with sweet and sour sauce

Glad o is feeling better utopian. T was up at 3 so I fed her and she went straight back, then in with me for snoozy feed just before 6. She always just drops off just before the bigs come in! She cried when I said no to her biting me in bed this morning, but kept giving me a very cheeky wrinkly nose grin when I said no to playing with the loo roll! Tearing stuff up is a fave activity.

Been ages since I posted last, been a little distracted as I got a proper bfp yesterday. :)

Unfortunately DS has decided to wake up lots through the night this week, so I'm double exhausted. Hoping it's just a short phase - he seems quite happy when he wakes and settles quickly, just waking 3-5 times a night.

Glad to hear DS is better utopian, the night weaning seems to be going well too :)

Willyou I hope J's cough didn't keep you all up last night. I'd be fuming at mil doing that! Is she the kind you can gave a straight up chat to? Tell her it's not on? I'm lucky my mil is quite timid, so we've never really had to worry about any confrontation. FIL can be awkward though, still not as bad as a lot of the stories on here.

Congratulations Stacks!

DP's so broody, he brings up more babies every other day (or every day this week!).

DP snored all night, he's got the sore chest too, so I went into the spare room with DS and we slept really well. J's still quite poorly though.

Mil is a cryer, anything you disagree with results in her crying to whoever will listen so you get angry phonecalls off eg BiL. I just won't be leaving him for his tea every week.

I'm not precious about what he eats at all, I let him have a taste of my stuff, I just don't want to get into the habit of no dinner = biscuits and sweets. If he doesn't eat his tea for me he gets rice cakes and fruit, both of which were returned uneaten

J bit DP's nipple last night WL, I shouldn't laugh

Wow congratulations stacks!

Dd didn't like it but she doesn't even like my home made curry it's just not her thing. I expect ds would eat it though!!

Had dd's physio appointment today and she had a quick look at dd's feet. She said they look fine but obv a bit too early to tell if he has the same thing as us....dd wasn't even crawling at this stage though. Trying not to symptom spot or get my hopes up!

Wow stacks fantastic news! Congrats! Can't believe so many on here are pg again! I know its hard but do try to get some rest.

What's up with your feet spotty?

willyou that's a sensible food rule.

It's a bit like muscular dystrophy WL.

I think I'm going to stop bf. or rather stop trying to get ds to feed when he really doesn't want to. Sad times. Another reason why I really want another one...

Nooooo the barstading app ate my post!!!! Arggghhhhh

Oh well... The long and short of it is I'm busy trying to put the last few wedding bits in order and trying to fight off the PIL - if someone could please resend them the memo that this is our wedding. They apparently aren't happy because they are not involved enough. (According to BIL this probably means they want to have been informed about every decision so that they can check it. Because we are much too young to be capable of decision making, let alone raising a child or getting any of the above right )

spotty sorry to hear that, nasty business. Hope you're all ok.
nutella pilzilla?! I had just turned 25 when we got married and I do remember the planning as being exciting but sometimes stressful. Was not impressed with dhs half sisters who threw their toys because they weren't at the same table - they were in their late 30s and were sat with their husbands and kids. Try to smile, nod and ignore! I'm totally impressed that you've organised it all so quickly. I love a wedding.

Congratulations stacks

A friend of mine "eloped" in the summer - her parents, his best mate+wife, them and their 2yo in the local register office. Her brother is still kicking up a stink at not being invited they were planning a nice family meal to celebrate but have ditched the idea because she cba with all the drama. Yay for me though, she's invited all her girl chums instead for a hen type celebration instead. My first Night Out Without R!

You can't win with some folk

Congratulations Stacks, do you know when your baby is due yet?

Nutella heres some i hope you don't get too stressed out with Pil. Are you not tempted to tell them a load of really outrageous things? I would be i'm evil

Spotty hope your DD is ok after physio.

Willyou i hope your ok, i also agree that, that is a good food rule. If H doesn't finish her tea she doesn't get a pudding.

WL we're not really even young anymore I'm 31 and DP is 33 DP's oldest brother is 45 and he isn't any better off in being trusted to know how to run his own life....

Pidj believe me, our first thought was eloping, but I wanted a really nice dress and then the whole thing seems to have grown from there.

Hales I like your plan, but I'm at a loss for ideas, please feel free to suggest all manner of crazy things anything!

We have just got home from dancing - wedding practice DS was awake. The babysitter heard him and went in to look, he wasn't upset he smiled and was pleased to see her baby nut I used the technique I've been building the last couple of nights. Went through the routine, he was looking suitably sleepy laid him down with my magic phrase and errrr it only bloody worked!! Awesome. Fingers crossed for some sleep progress!

And and you all gratefully received and very much enjoyed

High five to mini Nutella!

I've just thought this time last year I made a thread for us all called "Things that go bump in the night". Aw it seems so long ago and just like yesterday all at the same time.

Congratulations stacks

willyou I'm very at how quickly time is going. It's exciting to see each new development but baby lazza is growing too fast! Especially as we don't plan to have anymore. In fact, I've booked a table at an NCT sale & will be selling all our baby bits

last night was ok for us. One wake up at 2.45. Fed her & she was back asleep at about 3.15. Awake for day at 5.30am.
