Kitty why don't you tie the bag to the bottom of the cot? 
ds turns sideways across the cot and moans.
Actually he moans at anything any everything at the moment. I actually wish he'd take a dummy. He moans if he's too hot, too cold, lonely, touching me, not touching me, needs a feed, doesn't need a feed, just wants to head his voice, doesn't want to hear his voice, moan moan moan. And whilst he's moaning I'm not sleeping.
And that's before his daytime moaning.
Ouch Agnu find that ibru quick. Tried a cabbage leaf yet?

Still sore. I even spent ages hand expressing in a hot, deep bath to no avail. 
Still, no fever yet so the chances of me living through this are looking good!
It's quiet around here. Has anyone heard how Lib is doing recently? Keep meaning to msg her but my memory is terrible atm!

Yes, it has gone very quiet in the last few days. These kids are really keeping us busy!
M is now addicted to her dummy. She had one on our drive up North and now she won't go to sleep without it. Oops. May have created a monster over here. A bit nervous about how she will do with strict bottle feeds next tues and weds, but even more not looking forward to pumping and dumping all that medicine-tainted milk!
Yikes agnu OUCH. Have you tried raw grated potato poultices? Moist heat packs?
I've been thinking about lib a lot lately, hope you are well you wonderfully sweet lady!

Yes, yes you are.
Runt's being difficult! He's decided that it's fun to clamp hard every minute or so during a feed or try & look around the room... Or clamp while looking around or just bite down hard & throw himself backwards quickly until he pings off. 
We're not talking atm.

bring pretty much half the shop. ds' room needs finishing, and my storage system needs a few more bits added to it (it's the algot build why you need type as I hate wardrobes they smell funny ) high chair for ds, a little bed, bedding, storage boxes, toys, probably some random kitchen things too. you name it I plan on buying it. definately addictive; I love the minimalist space saving type furniture. my house is full of it ikea stuff
I only had one night of sleep, I expect it was a fluke and won't happen again. 7.5 hours seems a freakily long stretch. My children don't seem to do sleeping through before the age of 3.
bring I love that stateside children can dress up as pretty much anything for Halloween, its much more fun, it's quite depressing that they have to be scary costumes here. Dd1 wants to be a mummy for a party she is going to, but I might convince her to be a bat or spider or something so I can do fancy face painting on her again. Dd2 just doesn't get it. Although I could easily convince her to wear her superman costume. as then not be able to get her out of it for a week 
do you go out trick or treating?
kitty I have one of those. I can't go to the toilet without ds whinging. And if I dare to put him down, or try to sneak off when he's asleep he wakes up and moans. Or if someone else holds him he moans until they hand him back. It's like he needs that milky smell right in front of his nose to sleep or be happy. He sits next to me, or on my lap, holding onto my top and grinning like the cat that's got the cream.

Lol. I'm excited to see my cool DH in a nerdy turtleneck and a scarf (he's already a baldy). Yes, we're going trick or treating with some friends who have two adorable little girls. DS1 and her DD1 are in the same class and they've decided they are getting married . I had no idea they could only be scary things over there. DH just told me about this too. How odd!
M is getting all stranger danger on us too. She'll smile at people if I'm holding her but freak out if someone else is.

Did I ever mention that I love it when my DH snores? Really loud, snorty, gurggly, snoring? While laying on the couch? After making me watch Groundhog Day with him? Let me tell you, were are having a PAR-TAY over here right now
FrussoNeedsGin ·
26/10/2013 07:19
That sounds like a fab par-tay bring 
you need a dog that snores too. I'm going to record them both one evening. although the dog is by far the funniest as he always dreams
Ds1 and his girlfriend fiancé? sound so cute

Good morning. Clocks changing confused all the babies!
Sorry for being quiet this week. Sounds like there are lots of bouncing, rolling, shuffling, drooling, nipple clamping, gumming babies around just like mine
Ireland was a great trip. DS slept through both flights. He was gone before we even took off and woke after we landed in both directions. Coming back through Dublin Airport was a bit of a nightmare for various reasons, and we'd a really bumpy flight back but we got here.
It was lovely to see my family and have my siblings meet DS and for me to meet my sister's new DS too. It felt so short though. It's hard living away sometimes. On the plus side my brother and (pregnant) sil were in London this weekend so we got to spend loads of time with them yesterday too.
DS has been well. He had a weird few nights when we first came back to London. He'd go down to sleep at usual time but wake up within an hour and cry the house down for up to 45 mins. Seems to have got over it now though and is back to regular sleep patterns - down around 7.30, feed around 1.30 and 5 and then up at 7.30.
Got his Halloween costume in ASDA yesterday - black babygro with skeleton bones on it and a little skull hat. Halloween is much bigger in Ireland than it is here - almost as big as the US. We also don't necessarily do the scary costume thing but it's all I could get for DS. We're going to an NCT big coffee morning on Thursday so he'll get to wear it out.

Yy... Today is the never-ending day. Which is good in a way... The world's going to end tonight anyway, if the weather forecast is to be believed! Frus you're the most southerly aren't you? Have you nailed everything to the floor, taped your windows, shut your curtains, stocked up on batteries, tins & non-cook food? Make sure you've got a torch by your bed...
I've slept for a large proportion of the afternoon thanks to a sudden migraine! I was absolutely fine at church this morning then DH dropped me & the boys home before going back to help tidy things up & by the time he got back I was on the verge of crying from the pain! He didn't help much though... He took Runt up to bed & decided to strip our beds for the wash while he was up there... By this time it was 1.45, Calf had been awake since 7ish & had an exciting morning & we were waiting for DH so we could have lunch together. Not a good moment to be doing other things... I think he got the point after I completely lost it & screamed at him... I hate my migraines. They make me incredibly short-tempered & I lose all concept of self-control & start shouting which doesn't help my head! This would be why I usually take myself straight off to bed but I couldn't do that because some genius had just stolen the sheets! 
I crashed on the sofa instead & left DH to fix a dodgy fence panel, just incase we get blown all the way to Oz tonight!
