2 teef here Kyz...

And suddenly lots of walking!

ChasingDaisy · 28/11/2013 21:59

I'm sorry, haven't managed to catch up today, had such a busy day.

I think O had a nice day although he was shattered by the end of it. I'm almost glad it's over as it has been emotional.

Just Friends Guy came round to see O this evening. He bought him a present. And was so good with him. I am so totally fucking in love with him.

Elizadoesdolittle · 28/11/2013 22:00

Sorry it's late but happy birthday to chasings O and misslaughalots O. Hope they and you had lovely days.

det It all sounds pretty horroundous. So sorry.

pr It sounds like you have really thought this decision through. We have been talking a lot about dead cats in our house recently as our neighbours cat (who also used to treat our house as a 2nd home) was recently run over. Sorry not similar to your situation at all. Whether you decide I'm pretty sure you didn't come to the decision lightly and will be what's best for you and your girls.

ky We have 8 teeth here with another just cutting through. Teeth seem to be the only thing she's capable of growing! Love the fish tale. We have an aquarium and E loves it. DD1 is in charge of feeding them. Don't think my E is up to that yet.

lily I don't think I ever said congratulations for passing your exam. Sorry to be so late. Hope you're settled in your new home now.

stunt congratulations auntie. Hope your dbro is doing ok and your new nephew of course.

bplp Yay for steps! Glad you got to seem them.

Think jjs L had steps as well?

gt Gosh I would have been tempted to tip his dinner in his lap. And that's putting it midly!

That's pretty much all I can remember. I'm off to London tomrrow to go out for lunch with people I used to work with. One of my really good friends (who I employed 12 yrs ago) is leaving. Then I'm at a friends house with the girls in the evening (partaking in some bubbly) and then off to a joint 40th party on Saturday night. Yikes!

ChasingDaisy · 28/11/2013 22:01

7 teefs here Kyz, 4 top and 3 bottom.

Elizadoesdolittle · 28/11/2013 22:04

Haha manged to cross posts with loads of people as I took so long to write mine.

Glad the birthday babies had lovely days.

miss glad O got the epipen. Will hopefully give you some peace of mind.

pikzGlad L is improving. I hope the jabs do not set him back.

FlouncingIsles · 28/11/2013 22:37

Sorry I have read everything but my mind has gone blank.

Happy birthday to the two gorgeous O's!

Today I had most of my hair cut off Shock

Sophiathesnowfairy · 28/11/2013 22:39

Let us see!

GTbaby · 28/11/2013 22:54

Ohohoh isle lets see

flouncymcflouncerson · 28/11/2013 23:09

I wanna see your hair Isles.

Can't comment anything else. Still upset that J won't sleep sleeping through even once a week would be bliss :-( but he just doesn't. Ever. Not even close!

PurplePidjin · 28/11/2013 23:26

R has 4 top, 3 bottom and i can feel his two bottom molars when I'm feeling brave enough to put my finger in!

We missed his mmr on Monday as i was nannying and he had a cold. Must ring up and rebook -don't wanna don't wanna don't wanna--

Tomorrow I'm off to my friend's to ice his cake ready for The Party on Saturday. 20 babies in the church hall

GTbaby · 28/11/2013 23:49

Sleeping star fish in bed.
FH has finally given up and decided spare room is the place for him. Means I don't have to listen to him snore!
A is in cot until first feed so i got the bed to myself. may keep this up a year, telling a sleeps with me , but rally put him in his cot. Lol

So also decided the the pill is not for me... I've had it a week and still haven't take the first one Shock do t worry. We or rather I am no where near dtd and won't be for quite some time. So I have time to sort it out.

Dont know what's wrong with me. I know this year we have done it maybe 5times in total. I've never been this "off" it before. Hmm

flouncymcflouncerson · 28/11/2013 23:56

3rd wake up since 10.30pm. I love him but really this is ridiculous. An almost 13month old baby should sleep better than this.

We have 8 teeth. He doesn't walk or talk and he's one of the oldest I think. He can say mum but I'm not sure of it's mum or just a random noise.

gt I'm not surprised you don't fancy DTD much! you were pregnant a lot of this year!

flouncymcflouncerson · 29/11/2013 00:53

5th now but I won't post again cos it's boring!

LuisGarcia · 29/11/2013 00:53

Indeed this is a mystery

TheDetective · 29/11/2013 01:52

Flouncy we have had 3. But nothing for a couple of hours now. Thank fuck.

However my mind has decided it's morning Hmm.

I went to bed at 7.10. DP came up at 11.30 and I've been awake since. Angry

I've just taken nytol. And praying O sleeps.

He's crashing around his cot and has woken twice briefly but not required any intervention me.

Pikz Our current routine is very similar but we've had problems with both naps recently. He's either missing one, or having a long one, then missing the afternoon one, or having it mega late.

Trying to decide if to shift nap to one, or make the morning one 10.30-1130 (so its shorter) and the afternoon one 3-4. I'm not sure.

I might resort to waking him from his naps so we can get more of a schedule.

The after lunch nap will be a pita when DP is at work and I need to drop O at his mums. We leave here at 13.10 so right in the middle of nap time if we go down to 1.

I will mull it over I think.

I need to catch up on the Fred. I have been slack. Stupid work and screaming babies! Must try harder!

GTbaby · 29/11/2013 04:27

Det is really hard isn't it. Trying to alter their routine. Knowing when to let them sleep.

Luis! Flounce. I wasn't like this when preg or post natal with H. In fact quite the opposite.

Kyz · 29/11/2013 04:33

Hi guys.... Bastarding jags is all I'm saying

Hope you're asleep now everyone! gt am guessing you're up for feedings?

GTbaby · 29/11/2013 05:11

Yep. Feed feed and more feeds.

Come on Ewan the dream sheep. Do your thing. Make my baby sleep!

GTbaby · 29/11/2013 05:57

So that didn't work. He is back in bed with me. Confused

ChasingDaisy · 29/11/2013 06:46

Det, I am really strict about O's routine. I wake him from naps.

PetiteRaleuse · 29/11/2013 07:59

Bad night in the quiche. Brew all round

PetiteRaleuse · 29/11/2013 08:02

Right. Am off to the vet. Wish me luck.

BigPigLittlePig · 29/11/2013 08:10

Urgh. Up all night. Bastarding colds. Motherfucking teeth. Currentl giving wee darth vader a bottle but even that isn't making her sleep - poor thing is shattered.

Luis that made me chuckle. And GT I have found the ultimate contraception to be a sleep dodging baby tucked up in bed with you.

Am meant to be off into town later to get DHs Christmas presents not a dog, not a dog, not a dog although not entirely sure what to get him Confused. I'm normally really good at present buying but my non-functional brain is lacking in the bright ideas department.

BigPigLittlePig · 29/11/2013 08:10

Good luck PR Thanks

MsJupiterJones · 29/11/2013 08:30

1 wake up here but for 2.5 hrs. Brew to all

PR Thanks
