Wow I've got alot of catching up to do, AGAIN! I really am rubbish atm! Will see what I manage :)
I have the new OBEM recorded but haven't watched it yet
Sounds like lots of the babies are doing some really sweet things now, bless them! I'm enjoying reading everything they're all up to
lily o's speech sounds brilliant!
chasing I agree, you have come a long way with XP, and you are indeed bloody awesome
well done re: spoon feeding vq that's brill, E is pretty pants and I usually just get a spoon lobbed my way. I'm not great with mess and I think I need to let go a little bit. I just have the 'but he'll starve/wear it all/throw it' etc etc. Usually he does some spoons but gets bored and yes, throws the spoon at me.
Glad to hear o's understanding seems to be improving Det even if just for the reason that it must be making you worry less :)
pass I also have a tantrumming toddler, E can throw some pretty spectacular ones. In Clark's yesterday he was asked to walk in his new shoes (he's now a 6.5F) and he walked away but wouldn't come back, just stood there. 3 pairs of shoes he had to try on and three times he turned into a screeching bar of soap each time I tried to bring him back. Goshes. I probably should've felt embarrassed but I actually didn't. I tried to keep my cool and I think it might've worked for once!
Glad pussypig is ok bplp
gosh gt, sorry to read your mil is being a pita again, how long is it now?
flouncy I am loving reading how well things are going with J and sleep :D Brilliant :D
argh eliza that's awful! Arseheads. If possible, use strong stuff from the vets and you can stick a saucer of water out under a lamp too, they are attracted to the light and then drown. Treat any pets you have and hoover lots, and re-treat the area after a few weeks/whatever the treatment suggests. Wash bedding/curtains/cushions. Sorry if this has all been said (I am sure it has!)
bless her lily hope she's better soon, poor love
eek fatima sorry you're poorly again, hope you get better soon!
I couldn't manage without my tumble dryer, not with the animals and e, anyway. I don't use it when I can get away with it, but probably should try a bit harder not to use it so much
sorry you can't take A dog isles that's such a shame :(
donna go back if you feel it's not doing anything, hope it clears up soon!
Not dropped the night time bottle here pass he drains it so I've kept it for now. Milk is in a beaker though in the morning just after breakfast and he only has an oz or two. Does she like cows milk or is she unsure still? Maybe you need to do cows milk in a bottle for a bit for her to get used to the taste? Might it need mixing with her formula for a bit? Sorry if these are daft suggestions
Interesting re:girl/boy pregnancies yw my mum has only had one boy and I remember her laid up on the sofa suffering from something or other that caused terrible swollen ankles and serious tiredness ishoos. She was just exhausted the whole time. Yet I distinctly remember us moving house when she was pregnant with the next, a girl, and we moved in about 3 days before her waters broke. She was active and 'normal' from what I remember, and just got on with it. So her boy pregnancy took alot out of her, at least!
Very sad re: obsession with appearance bplp :( They seem to get younger :( Luckily my sis isn't so bothered but she's starting to be now at 12. I wish kids could just be kids :(
sorry J isn't well again vq poor boy :(
gosh, lots of illness/stress/teething/
things quichewide atm. Lots of love and hugs to all
glad the phonecall to the bosslady went well vq very surprising indeed!
so glad to still be reading J's doing well with sleeping and you're doing fab sticking to everything, well done flouncy!!!
pp how you coped with all of that i'll never know. You did amazingly!
hiiiii zamboni!!!! and hi bry, saw you sneak a post in earlier :)
sophia must be really hard not having the car, bollockarse. Glad it's sorted now though :)
wooohoo for edd yw how exciting!!
eliza I had dp and my mum, I needed my mum with me, as awful as that probably sounds, she's a pretty good rock, you see. I don't think I cried. I moaned screamed like a banshee though!
aww evil i loved reading yours and Ns homework :) lovely, he's a very lucky little boy to have such a lovely mummy
E doesn't have a potty, but he has been going one the toilet on one of those seat things. I know it sounds silly but mum got one months ago in the sale thinking of us using it eventually in ages time. Anyway, he hadn't been for a few days and started straining and screeching and I wasn't sure what to do so I whipped his nappy off and sat him on the toilet and he did the biggest poo! I sit him on there now if he seems to be straining, and sometimes over the past few days he has been looking like he does when he needs to go and if I say do you need to use the toilet he goes to the bathroom. I've no idea if this is a 'bad' way of doing it but I certainly don't expect him to go on the toilet, today for example he went quite easily in his nappy. Actually he has the runs. But I expect this is teething. Anyway, I digress!
Also didn't know brufen could be so dangerous! Eek. I prefer it for teething/high temp but do try to not use it unless I need to for E.
pr mum has also told me boys are later than girls with potty training from all the boys/girls she knows of
I've never thought to leave e's cup in his cot with him, but sometimes he does wake for a drink...
oh bless her lily hope she's ok
oh no pikz :( Yay for positive thinking though, hope things are ok in the morning :)
wow evil you do lots of things! Very busy busy busy! I don't feel inadequate at all, oh no but seriously, sounds like a fab schedule. I am hoping to start taking e swimming again soon, but I don't have much of a schedule going on
Hugs vq, sounds like you could do with some!
Phew, think i'm at the end! Nothing much to report here. I posted on the fb group about pillows, but haven't used one yet! Waiting for covers to arrive but i'll see if we bother using either the quilt or the pillow. He was napping 10-11 and 2-4 and then sleep 7-7 (i'm not bragging, bear with me) but had started to wake in the night and didn't seem able to settle. So I have tried taking the morning nap away and doing 1-3ish. Seems to be going ok-ish but he seems so very tired by lunch. He should get used to it though shouldn't he? Today he fell asleep in the car for 10 mins at about 11:30 and then wouldn't sleep until 2 and slept till 4. Bed at 7, sleep at 7:30. Am I doing the right thing? I don't think it helps that he's got another two teeth nearly through and one of his fangs type area looks inflamed and seems tender. But I don't think the wakenings are down to teething pain as he doesn't seem in pain, just mumps about in his cot for a bit. I know this is hardly sleep issue of the year, but just looking for the usual quiche imput as your advice means alot to me
night guys x
