December 2012: Now they're all 1

[Barbeasty]

We needed a new thread!

No we'd run out of squash but we've got a cheap bottle (which isn't very nice but is fine) but he didn't want to use that...! I'm running late too but not sure why

Sounds like you had another bad night spotty. Scared to jinx it but last few nights have been really good, dd has slept through and ds early wakings have spontaneously resolved.

coffee sorry it didn't go as you hoped. Try to not get frustrated as they've got to keep in mind that research shows that regret rates higher in the under 35's and in the period after having a baby. Even though you know you're sure they would have seen other people change their mind and have to practice safety. Wouldn't use a coil though if it was me as too high a failure rate. spotty wasn't ds a coil pregnancy? if I didn't want to get pregnant I'd get the implant which is my plan.

Dd says a few words but not taking half as much as ds was at this age. Trying to remember that her speak isn't delayed it's just ds talked very early and try not to compare! Easier said than done as I'm a natural worrier lol

I suspect we won't hear shreddies again any time soon. We seem to get a word once or twice and then not again. No is just getting reliable, and "that" as he hands something over (I suspect from adults saying "what's that" as he does it). We were getting something for thanks too, the newest thing is uh oh as he throws something on the floor. Again and again and again!

Mind you, given all the other things he does at nursery but not at home, I expect he's having full conversations there!

Quick post to get you back on my TIO. Will catch up in a bit.

Yes ds was a coil in situ baby. I'm on depo now as I find it suits best

Ds is walking everywhere but will only walk outside holding my hand, and then tries (and fails!) to run

Ddas I'm a worrier too. I know ds will be fine with his speech but dd was talking properly by know so surely something is wrong?!

A was really sick this afternoon. When I got to MIL he was fast asleep on her lap and really pale. When he woke up he was really tugging his ear. He's had 2 feeds and went to bed without complaint.

And DD can't hear in one ear and complains it hurts. So back to the Dr with them both tomorrow.

Oh no beasty I hope they feel better soon. It seems some children are just prone to ear infections.

I think I'm going to have to go to bed

Happy birthday to me! spotty right now the best pressie would be straight to bed! Will just eat, no jobs and try for 9ish. I've got a sore throat prob caught from dds but I often get one when I'm particularly tired.
Poor minibeasts. Earache is so awful.
willyou you are doing the right thing and I think it was good that you couldn't take the day off - make him stew a bit more. I know you said dp wouldn't consider counselling but I agree with the others that it could be helpful. ?? for you.

Oh dear, there were supposed to be flowers!

Everyone seen the Adam Hills response to the fb bfing tramp thing? Could I love him any more?

Happy birthday WL I hope you had plenty of good cheer and cake.., if not! I hope you can catch up soon or at the weekend! Can you post a link to the Adam hills thing. I know who he is but google didn't throw up a ref to the breast feeding thing. :)

spotty night night! Fx for sweet loooong uninterrupted dreams.

coffee sorry your appointment didn't go well. I do feel that sometimes it's like a test of will. You have to keep going back and moan and whinge and tell them what you want to make them listen.

Willyou he needs to take his time and think (and I'm sure talk) everything through properly. Can you tell him that you need a break and some peace for a few days or until the weekend? Would he leave you alone for a bit so that you can lick your sounds and think about what you want for your future too? I wish I could be of more practical help. It's a horrible situation to be in with someone dithering about with your life. Big (((hugs))) for you!

Why when DH puts DS to bed does he go out like a light. But when I put him to bed it takes at least twice as long and lots more time comforting DS I've no idea why.
DS also says "nanana" for banana and "nuh nuh" for his dummy. It's easy to confuse the two. :)

Happy Birthday WL I hope you had cake for breakfast.

Beasty i hope your DC are feeling better soon.

Willyou, i hope you get the time you need and i'm glad that DP has agreed your right about him needing to stay at his mums for abit.

Coffee my sister is getting sterilized soon but she was at one point discharged by her consultant as he said she was too young (shes 28, only one child) She pestered her GP to get referred to someone else and then had to have a few appointments with them. It took alot of fighting on her behalf.

My ulcer is making eating so painful and anbesol is rubbish.

Happy birthday to you, you belong in a zoo, WL looks like a chimpanzeeeeee and she smells like one too

Poor sicky babies Beasty, there's a lot of ear infections going around at the minute.

Goodnight Spotty.

He's taken tomorrow off Nutella (my day off too) to spend a bit of time together/talking. After that I may ask him to take DS on Thursday night and then I'll go to the gym pub. He's working Friday and Saturday so I will just let him take DS swimming again on Sunday morning and have a couple of days off from him. I can't imagine not seeing DS everyday so I don't want to stop him having him. He's a being a dick but he's still DS' dad.

DS has started going to bed no trouble too, he has pooed in his sleep though tonight so I'll have a fun time dealing with that whenever he wakes up.

We have lots of good boy, all gone, fall down, peppa, peepo (discernible from Peppa) and a constant stream of hellos.

I have an ulcer too Hales, inside my lower lip. It's so swollen that I'm lisping. Run down I expect.

Good birthday song willyou!
nutella dd2 called her dummy 'naana' even when she could say dummy perfectly well. I loved it that it was her/our special word. Try this link for the fantabulous Adam Hills

Nutella Breastfeeding link

WL i watched him doing that live and also loved him for it.

Willyou i feel your pain i'm lisping as well, i feel like my tongue is too big for my mouth.

Happy birthday WL!

Good job I went to bed at eight as ds was up at five due to a coughing fit. Big improvement though. I'm considering taking him to the drs but only because he has his op next week I need to rule out infection now...(such a hassle though and I'm meant to be going to my friends )

Lots of poorly babies still! Hope everyone's better soon.

willyou hope you and your DS are doing ok. I've never been in your situation but I imagine it's one day at a time.

WL hope you had a lovely birthday filled with

I feel a bit more rational about my hospital appointment now. I understand they have to make sure people are making an informed choice. I've never wanted children if I'm brutally honest and whilst I do love my DS, another one would tip me over the edge. I've been in therapy for years talking about this, it's not a sudden decision for me to want to be sterilised.

My moods are not helped by having been on my period for six weeks! Sodding contraceptive implant up to no good...

Happy birthday WLmum.

A's ok, but he's been a pain with food today. It's been mostly cereal again. Plus raisins.

Then DD got home from nursery and got herself a massive bowl of cereal and used all but a trickle of milk. There's probably not quite enough for a decent cup of tea tomorrow, and the most annoying thing is that she didn't eat all of it.....

But I have to forgive her after our conversation in the car coming home. She was explaining the rules from forest school. They mostly involve things you shouldn't eat- twigs, grass and leaves. And that you shouldn't put mud on your face or other people's. I dread to think what's happened for those rules to exist.

However you can dig a deep hole and jump in it. One of the girls used to have a twin brother, but he dug a deep hole, jumped in and broke through the other side, so she doesn't have a brother any more.

So funny beasty! I was explaining to dd why her bestie has a daddy and a bob (names changed for privacy ) that her mummy loves bob lots and she said 'soon you and daddy won't live together either' I said that we would still live together and she replied that she's going to live with her bestie as she loves her

Ds has got antibiotics for probably ear infection and possible chest infection. Dr and I both agreed we would have ridden it out but we need him to be well for his op next week.

spotty poor ds! Hope those abs get to work asap.

O escaped for his customary naked run around after the bath today and left a perfect cartoon poo on the floor. Hmm.

In other news, went to look at nurseries for him two mornings a week, as a bit of working time for me and social time for him and the one we like has a 12 month waiting list! Am feeling like a horrific idiot for not sorting this when we completed on the flat in October. It's not the end of the world but I'm normally super anal orgsnised about things.
Also went to look at the Montessori school which I am really keen on in principle but it didn't seem as good in the flesh. Argh!

My poor nip! T did that awful pull off while still clamped on - with teeth! Ouch it's sore.
