January 2014- the one where the babies move more, but sleep less!

[AMillionNameChangesLater]

Hope this is ok!

Felix he's horrid! Literally the last two weeks. He also has bruised me with how hard he's bitten me. No idea what to do - I say NO and take him away to sit in his own, no attention... Not sure what else to do...

Stayed sooooo near Keswick! We were in the Lodore Falls. Was perfect, just what I wanted - somewhere where they're comfortable with babies, but aren't a "family" hotel. We loved it!

Also we rediscovered our love for the lakes - only 90m/120m from us, so not that far. Where do you recommend? Keswick was gorgeous

angel have you checked out the wonder weeks app? Tantrum throwing is one of the signs! We definitely have it here.

Unsurprisingly O went to bed early last night as she was so tired. Woke at 3 again this morning but I managed to get her back to sleep so she's only just woken at 6 which is far more reasonable.

I ended up coming home from work sick. I've been ill for the past two weeks (probably because of work stress) and I think the early waking just tipped me over the edge. Restricted on what I can take to help as well. Still not feeling great today so will take time off today as too. Definitely finding being pregnant harder this time round.

Hotel sounds great angel. We had our first night away from O the other week and had a mini spa break 20 mins from home! and it was lovely.

Angel it looks lovely! We always stay in Portinscale a couple of miles walk from keswick. We usually stay in the self catering apartments on Derwent Water Marina (then I get roped in to going kayaking or something equally as awful ) but last time we stayed in a lovely apartment a 5 minute walk away as the marina was full. Did you go to the pencil museum? My sister worked at a hotel in windernere for 10 years so we always used to get free trips there. She's moved to scotland now though so she's booking us in to visit at some point this year too.

S was sick twice last night from 5am onwards. It was literally just curdled milk sick so I'm not sure if she's unwell or not. She's not eaten much today but may just be a coincidence. She's not really been physically sick since she was a tiny baby so it's quite unusual!

I'm thinking of night weaning S again starting tonight, after last nights sick incident. We are going away tomorrow night until Monday to stay at PIL's though. Should I just wait until afterwards or just get on with it tonight? Going to try offering water again as it worked last time.

I'd probably wait until after you get back, Felix. Then you can just do exactly what worked last time.

M had an excellent night last night. Slept 8.30pm til 4am, woke for a feed, them went back down til 7am.
Taking bets on how many times she'll wake up tonight to make up for it.

Toby that's good!

I've kind of started it now. I'm worried about her throwing up her milk again. She's just woken up and DP gave her a bottle with some water in but she's shouting at the moment! Not proper crying or anything. I don't know wether to just leave her to it, but it's been 10 mins so far.

She cried for half an hour so I've given her a bit of milk but not as much as usual. I'll try properly after the weekend I think. It makes more sense.

O slept 7-6 So suprised at the time when I heard her.

Felix good luck with the night weaning.

L throws tantrums when she's tired or hungry and I take things off her, like my phone. She takes one big step away from me then starts screeching, takes another step and then throws herself on the floor

Nature that's great!

Weird night here. When she woke up she would not go back to sleep so ended up coming downstairs for a bit. Went back down after half an hour with no fuss and slept 11ish - 7.30am with no wake ups for milk!! Bizarre.

We will be going to play group at 9.30 this morning and it will be dark

MrsG that's so dramatic S does this really funny face where she makes an O with her mouth and does really fake 'waaaah' noises. It's so irritating.

O stamps her foot when she is having a tantrum! It's hard not to laugh at her when she does it! Haha!

Good sleeping M and S! I have my fingers crossed for you both tonight.

P has an excellent arm flapping action when she tantrums. It is so cute I've now taught her to 'flap like a bird' on demand

Well, today was the hardest day with her that I can remember for months. I took P to some shops half an hour away, because she will now only nap in the car. She tantrummed in every shop. The wobbler she threw in Clarks was so epic that I was moved to apologise to not one but two members of staff I then had to carry her around the shops for two hours. It got much worse when we got home. Thank fuck she is in bed now!

Hope you've had a better day today, book.

We did thanks, although the naps were still traumatic. I hope M had another good night

Namechanged from MrsGSR, still kind of GSR :)

DH took L all night last night as I've had very little sleep this week, so I'm feeling great, he's not though! Looking forward to a lazy day today, with a bit of housework.

Hope everyone has a good Sunday :)

We've been to rugby, came home and had bacon sandwiches, then took DS to his gf's. Now I'm watching Kourtney and Khloé and M is asleep on me. DH hoovered while I was out, which is unheard of!

Lost the thread somehow!

S is teething again. She's so grumpy. Just been to the doctors for a blood test and there was an old lady in the waiting room trying to get her to smile and S just sat and gave her dead eye She's having a pyjama day today as I came off my bike yesterday and I've knackered my left hand so I struggled to get her dressed. I think we will be watching a lot of cbeebies today...

I hope your hand is better soon felix. Every day is a CBeebies day here at the moment! I'm at a loss with what to do with her as she isn't old enough to sit and do an activity with, but needs entertaining for hours at a time. When she finally drops her first nap I'll be totally stuffed!

O has been referred to a urology surgeon. They said this would only happen if they think surgery will be beneficial

Felix hope your hand is better soon

I am so bored and fed up today. M won't even watch TV so I can't even have a CBeebies day :(

Hope you recover soon, felix.

Scary stuff, nature :(

They did say it may be a possibility. Appointment isn't until May so will just have to be patient and wait till then to find out what they are planning.

Nature May will come around quickly. At least then you will have more info.

I'm bored today too. It's a nice day out but I am tired and can't be arsed to do anything. S is having a nap and I'm sprawled over the settee watching Friends.

If my house and child weren't covered in snot and moon sand (whatever the hell that is) then you could come over and eat cake toby. You're welcome anyway obvs, I'll emergency hoover

I hope the appointment comes around soon nature, it must be worrying for you.

Well, I thought I was doing a bit better, but apparently not. Of all the people at Crazy Lady Craft group, I am the only one they want back next term. This news has depressed me a bit, ironically.

Aw, I've only just seen this. Thanks anyway, book. I was going to ask you earlier if you fancied doing something today but then I remembered you had basket-weaving.

M has been a tiny bastard today, but I think she was also bored and fed up.
