July 2006 (2)...Wobbly heads!

[koshkaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhhhhh]

New thread girlys!

Hope everyone is ok.

Have put Jake to bed now, instead of at midnight, so i guess i'll be up early!!
Might go to bed now...

Evening ladeez.

laughed out loud at KZ's description of Chilton's enormous dump in the courtyard (starting potty training on Monday - gulp - am armed with choccie raisins, 30 pairs of pants, and lots of "activities" as we are staying in till it's done) and at 1st@40's description of having to mug her rellies to get Emma back off them. Tee hee hee.

Toby weighted for first time in 4 weeks on Wednesday and is 15 pounds 5.5 ounces at 8 weeks. He certainly is a solid little chap, and doing so well i am so proud! Sleeping 7 till 2am, then till 6ish. Going to sleep on his own in his own room - bit whingy in the afternoons if I miss the window to put him down upstairs for a proper nap, but nothing too bad. Only gets really stressful if he is screaming when I HAVE to do something with DS1 such as.........

......this morning when i was trying to get out of the house and Toby was screaming and DS1 WOULD NOT pick up the mountain of books he had just deposited on the landing floor, despite me asking 25 times, and I REALLY SHOUTED! Had to go into another room and take deep breaths and count to 10. Have never, EVER, los tmy temper so quickly and so hard. I really scared myself. I sat down on the floor and apologised to DS1 for shouting and we had a cuddle. I know I would/could never lay a finger on one of my children, but I really did shout and I now know the origin of the phrase "seeing red". Seems so silly now in hindsight losing it over something so trivial but at the time........

Spent the day today with a girlfriend whith kids the same age as mine who is out on one of her frequent nights out with some friends tonight. Must say I was a bit I cannot imagine DH having both boys on his own. I am shopping with my sister tomorrow avo, but having to take Toby when I'd really like DH to have them both to give me some time off. And a night out would be wonderful, but there is just no way Dh will feel ok about having the two of them. i think we might have to work up to it slowly like an hour at a time maybe, when I have finished breastfeeding al together (although he could quite easily give Toby a bottle now if I was to go out) One to work on, I think he is just scared, the first time would be the hardest, then he would be fine I think.

Right, off to eat choc.

Night night

PS Whitestar, sounds awful, big hugs. xx

Iam, it's so understable for you to be overtired and stressed! I feel like that with just one baby, can't imagine with two! As you say, try with your DH one hour at a time. I find that sometimes even fifteen minutes on my own make the diference!
Kay, reading you has helped me a lot. I am in exactly the same situation, trying to stick the pump in between the holes of my babybjorn and already managing only to express twice a day...sometimes I look at my dd sleeping while I try to pump in the oddest of positions and I think "what am I doing?!". It's great knowing that I'm not the only one with such a stressful schedule.

Morning ladies, haven't posted for a few days, but have been reading all yours. Had a bit of a stressful week as my brother left for work on Monday morning (lives with our parents) and has not been heard from since . My parents have reported him missing and the police think he bought a train ticket, but we don't know any more than this. We hope that he just needs some space and will come back when he's ready. My mum is coming down next week and hopefully she'll have a good time being a doting granny

Through all this Dom has been a dream, feel guilty for having an 'easy' baby, which I could say it was down to my wonderful parenting skills, but think it's just luck...

Hi all
HC~any sign of laptop yet? Email him back & say if he's sooo busy he shouldn't be selling stuff on ebay!!
Evie's good eating like a horse still! Think HV wants me to start solids because she was small/prem and is ALWAYS hungry! going to look on bliss website in a mo!!
I caught myself in the mirror last night when wearing not a lot!!!! My god I gotta start a diet soon couldnt believe the size of my ass now!!
Speak soon all
Jane

maewest so sorry to hear about your brother.... Hope he'll be back home soon.

Morning ladies

maewest-hugs to you and your family. ((xx))

The laptop finally arrived and what a pile of sh*te!!!!! No plug so can't charge it and loads of screws missing. Also covered in scratches so clearly not 'new'. Postage was £3.15 and only posted on Wednesday. Asked him for a refund of postage as paid £23.95 then asked him for a total refund. He has ignored that and said he has posted the plug. No offer of a refund so blah to it all. Am pig sick of the whole thing so DH has promised to respray it if we end up keeping it which looks likely. Can't report him to Ebay for over charging with postage. So I think this is the end of the matter and moral of the story-do not but laptops off Ebay!

My Birthday tomorrow so will try and de-stress by then. Love and hugs to all.

Chilled out HC (NOT !)

Doh-shows how s-t-r-e-s-s-e-d I am. Let's try again.

Good Afternoon Ladies

HC you cant report him to ebay though surely? Esp
if he's mis-represented it? ? Give him really negative feedback!!
Maewest: Sorry I missed your post earlier: Wasnt being rude Hope your brothers OK I'm sure you'll hear from him soon!! Thinking of you{{{HUGS}}}}

HC,
If I were you I would ask for a full refund or else you will leave negative feedback and report him to e-bay... makes me mad!!!

Maewest, hope you having a relaxing weekend...

looking forward to a glass of chilled wine after I put Sefton to sleep...

Found this website on another thread, where you can publish a pic to web quickly and easily, let's see if I can get it to work:

Sefton and I in the park

Ooooer it is a BIG picture of me , just the most recent one of him, and I love the cheeky look on his face, trying hard to smile!

here is the info for uploading pics:

Happy Birthday HC! Have a wonderfully relaxing and indulgent day HINT HINT HC'S DH

Love the pic Sleep, Sefton looks utterly edible

Wow can I just tell you about the fab 2 nights we have had with Zack?! Friday night he went down at 9.30 woke at 2 and went back down until 6.30 yay!!! But then it gets better..... last night he went to sleep at 9.30 and slept until 5.30!!!! yay yay!!!! Even then he fed and went back down until 7.30 was awake for half an hour and is currently sleeping soundly in our bed!
I can't believe it he has gone from waking 2 hourly to this, even if he doesnt do it again for a couple of weeks at least I've had some rest.

Yesterday I also left him for 3 1/2 hours! I went to the hairdressers and got a totally new fab look, he stayed with Dp didn't take the bottle but didn't scream the place down until I got back either. I feel like a new woman! I'm going to leave him evry saturday for a couple of hours now and start the Xmas shopping (sorry if you don't want reminding of that yet!)

Koshka- hope you enjoy your Sunday lunch, I love my nans Yorkshire pud!

KZ- I'm glad Roisin seems to be feeding better, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you x

HC- definite refund in order me thinks

Van- solids-wow! That really is the next step isn't it?!

Maewest- hope you recieve good news soon, I'm sure a week with you will do your mum alot of good x

Bloss- totally understandable to be feeling stressed sometimes, I too don't know how those of you with two children manage. Start training DH immediately!

Have a lovely day all

Happy birthday, Humphreys!! Muchas felicidades!!! .
Kayzed, thanks so much for your lovely words...[[superhug]. Unfortunately I have to tell you that you're right, Ranitidine is not working as well as it used to.... Wonder if I should increase the dose because she put some weight on...How many mm are you giving to Roshi? And can you remember how old is she now and what's her weight? Our feeding routine is exactly like yours, and she also doesnt like 'little and often'. Much better during the weekends when dh is around to help.
Sleep..Sefton is soooo cute!
Have a fantastic Sunday!!
