I broke the old thread! Step this way, step this way.

I started us a new thread since this one is about to run out.

Pink that's good to hear about your mum.
We are exactly the same on cot situation. Ds was in cot then got poorly so now back in crib and co-sleeping. Must get him back in cot as he tried to roll over in crib the other night and bumped his head.

[pinkapples]

Yea no crawling here at all lots of movement but no crawling I don't think she'll bother now which is nice and how I prefer it

Theiah doesn't really wake up now we've had 3 weeks 7.30-6.30am (when I get up for work) if she does get up it's like 4/4.30am and it's only to e tucked back in

[pinkbear82]

Thank you everyone, things seem to be going in the right direction with Mum, so as long as that continues I think she may do just fine. Family stubbornness is a bloody useful thing sometimes.

If I could sleep I think I would be dealing with everything much better. So much going on I just can't sleep. Dd still tends to wake every 2 hours anyway, so when you can't re settle by time I probably could, I'm looking at the clock thinking by time I settle she'll be waking....

The last few days dd has been pulling herself up and also kneading lots in her crib and cot. I think we need to move the cot base down a bit and also try and get her sleeping in there again. We started, hit a rough patch and reverted back to her crib/co sleeping. Must get onto the cot sleeping again.

Walking babies? Goodness me. Mind you DS was an expert cruiser at 8 or 9 months and would walk all around the furniture, but it took another 3 months before he actually walked unaided. I dont' see DD making any attempts yet though.

[hedgehogy]

Congrats sweetpea and MrsBri

I'm pretty sure DD will go straight to walking. Thankfully she's happy sitting and playing for the time being.

[SunnyL]

Pregnant? Again? Faints

No no no no no - will be a while before we go for baby #2. But many congratulations to you both - I have nothing but admiration for you guys.

Pink - DH's mum had a stroke a few years ago. She recovered very well - fingers crossed your mum has the same result. Positive mental attitude will help - as will cuddles from a gorgeous grandchild.

We're not walking but she is pulling herself up to stand in the bath. I think we may have a child who bypasses crawling and goes straight to walking. There is a Baby sale on in Asda this week with cheap stair gates etc for anyone who is looking to babyproof.

Last night was a bit rough. She normally wakes once in the night but last night was 10pm, 12pm, 2am, and 6 am. She woke up crying every time which is so unlike our Lil. Normally she giggles when she wakes up.

[SweetPeaPods]

Pink ds is pretty good at walking too if you hold his hands. He hasn't mastered walking with the baby walker though, he just wants to eat the handle!
Ds wakes maybe once at night and I bring him in with me. Which I know I need to stop but can't! He's a monkey for going to bed though, still awake at 10pm last night.

[Mrs81]

Gingermaman - ds has a suspected dairy and egg allergy. GP (and also doc at hospital) advised that neither ds or I eat those things (nor soya) for as long as I'm bf-ing. I thought it was widely understood that proteins etc pass through breastmilk Maybe worth checking on the Allergy boards on mn...

[GingerMaman]

Congrats on all your pregnancies! You surely are all brave women

How many times do your LOs wake up at night? My DD wakes up every two hours or every hour. I have been trying to figure out why but can't seem to find out.

Also, does anyone's LO have milk abc soya allergy too? Thd peadetrician said it was ok for me to carry on having milk and soya, but I've stopped raw milk. I'm just wondering what others are doing?

[Mrs81]

Walking?!?! Crumbs. We have a bit of rolling and backwards crawling thus far. That's terrifying enough! Off to Ikea this week to get some baby-proofing stuff

[pinkapples]

Congrats to the pregnant ladies!

Still on 4 bottles a day here but 3 meals and puddings

2 teeth so teeth brushing is going well

No crawling but we have walking! Holding 2 hands for now but it won't be long before she's off on her own

Omg how did our babies get so big so quick it'll be 1st birthdays soon!

[AlohaMama]

welcome back littlemiss/sweetpea. and congratulations. and congratulations to you too MrsBri!! I was wondering when the next round of pregnancies would start being announced! Dont' expect any news this end, I think we are happy with our 2.

so sorry to hear about your mum pinkbear, particualrly with everythign else going on in your family, what a tough time for you all.

we all have stinking colds here. on the plus side dd has slept through the pst 3 nights (other than 1 visit per night to shove a dummy back in). Let's hope this is a pattern that continues...

[Mrs81]

Oh pinkbear, I'm so sorry about your mum. I hope she is doing ok and I also hope you are ok too. You're def due an easier spell from 2014 soon!!

Congratulations to MrsBri and Sweetpea Fingers crossed for straightforward easy pregnancies for you both xx

Thankyou whoever it was who suggested size 3+ nappies. A bugger to find but have transformed things for us. I wish all the nappy brands did them but right now I'd rather not buy eco nappies and sleep more!

[MrsBri]

Ah ha, Sweet Pea, welcome back. I do remember you under your previous name. It's good that you found us again. :-)

And thank you, Madame. It's been OK so far. If tiring! But barely any morning sickness which is good as I was quite sick with Amy.

Just counting down to the 20 week scan now, then I might even feel properly pregnant. :-)

[MadameJ]

Welcome back sweetpea. Oh my goodness mrsbri that's amazing news. Hope you both have nice easy pregnancies x

[SweetPeaPods]

Mrs Bri it was Littlemiss before I think.
Congratulations! We haven't told anyone yet, but have a scan in a couple of weeks so will prob tell parents after that.

[MrsBri]

Curly, can't your solicitor elicit a response with a letter? I wouldn't bother with tiptoeing round the stupid cow!

I hope you get it resolved ASAP.

SweetPea, I don't know what your name was before, I don't think, but welcome back! Your DS is 4 days older than my DD. :-) We have a lump issue too, though we do have two teeth and more on the way, judging by the no napping, grumbly, misery of a baby we have.

Congratulations on your pregnancy. Fx for a sticky one. :-)

I'm also pregnant again, but I'm 14 weeks, so a bit ahead of you. There'll be 13 months between mine!

Have you told many people or will you keep it quiet til 12 weeks?

[SweetPeaPods]

Hi everyone can I rejoin?
I was here initially, then nc'd, lost you guys but found you again.
I'll try to read back all your threads to catch up.
DS was born 19th June.
We're not crawling yet, and no teeth but very dribbly and new nappy rash so not sure if that's linked to teeth.
Weaning going kind of well, not too keen on lumps so prefers jars which is annoying me but we are getting there slowly.
On other news, I'm 5wks pg too. Soo Fx as we had 3mcs before ds.
Hope everyone is well and I'll try to catch up as much as ds will allow I can

[curlyclaz13]

Thankfully I have legal cover with a professional body I am a member of and I am already in touch with a solicitor. But it is her lack of response that is bothering me. I need to know where I stand asap. We have run out of savings now so I have to start earning again soon. I have a feeling she is hoping I find another job so I leave and she can hire at the lower pay. Problem is I have been looking but can't find anything.

[MrsBri]

Pink, I'm so sorry to hear about your mum. I hope she recovers very soon. xx

Curly, you need to either call ACAS or get an appt with the CAB ASAP. You only have 3 months from the date of the breach to make an employment tribunal claim, so you need to get advice fast. (I'm not saying you want to claim, but in some circumstances you end up having to, which is why you need proper advice.)

[curlyclaz13]

pinkbear sorry to hear about your mum, hope she makes a speedy recovery.
Ds is nearly 8months (born 12 june) and started crawling over Christmas, commando style and is bloody quick ! He is pulling himself up on stuff too, mainly me though and apparently my boobs make great hand holds !.
I am supposed to be back at work on March 6th but my boss is causing real issues still, refused any flexible working then tried to reduce my pay by £2.5k and now she has not responded to emails in the last two weeks regarding the fact she can't cut my pay. I have to go back as we will can not afford to loose the income and now I am worried she is trying to get rid of me somehow. I know legally she shouldn't be able to but I don't know why she is making it so difficult.

[hedgehogy]

So sorry to hear about your mum and everything else that's going on, pinkbear. My grandmother has had two mini strokes and has made a brilliant (speedy) recovery both times so fingers crossed that it's the same for your mum.

[Sunbeam18]

Pinkbear, so sorry to hear about your mum. You are having a really rough time. Xx

[pinkbear82]

Lots of attempts at crawling here, no actual success yet. Although she does have a bouncy shuffle going on when sat up. Covered half the front room this way the other day.

My mum was rushed into hospital last night, looks like a mini stroke. I knew the stress of everything would take its toll. At the moment her speech is affected and her memory. Although she has some limb numbness she seems to be able to function. A waiting game now to see how recovery goes. Have a horrible feeling it's all going to overlap dad's heart surgery on the 25 and both will be more stressed. I have contemplated hibernating, apparently this isn't an option. Thank goodness we don't need to rush sorting anything else after Gran's death. 2014 best show some improvements soon!

Welcome newbies, I don't usually rant so much! I don't think / and cake for us all.
