Tweety - no she wasn't old! I was too shocked to say anything back!
I am giving loads of clothes away to friends who are having babies this year. I am not normally sentimental but have been feeling a bit teary packing things up. i am also not doing this again so am not keeping anything which feels a bit weird.
Everyone is ill at ours again. DD is the worst & has a temp the rest of us have snotty noses etc. DH is working again so have not had one of those days where you just have to get through it....might go to bed quite soon!

Addicted hope the illness passes soon.

Lo screamed for 3 hours this afternoon with his teeth I ended up having a panic attack over it as it was relentless thr poor thing, he ended up asleep earlier than usual so hoping to dream feed so we get another good night.

Addictedtocustardcreams · 17/05/2015 20:53

Memphis that sounds awful! Exhausting for both of you, hope you get some sleep.
I am shattered as both kids have had me up more than usual last 2 nights plus not being 100% well myself. DD is also cutting her last 2 molars so don't think that helps. She was screaming in the night then cried & said she wanted a ham sandwich! Not looking forward to LO starting teething.

tweety89 · 19/05/2015 21:29

When do they normally start teething? I honestly cannot remember. Is it around 4 months? I remember that DD didn't have any teeth until she was 8 months or so but I cannot remember when it all started..I remember a lot of calpol though! Grin
LO cannot even grab things to put them in his mouth yet! Shock

Memphisbelly · 19/05/2015 21:51

Ds was 8 months before he got a tooth but LO has bedn teething since 12 weeks no teeth yet but hv reckons they are just shifting undercthe gums, he chomps on his hand and you can see all his teeth under the gums but he still can't put things in his mouth

Memphisbelly · 19/05/2015 22:01

Well i dont know what happened there Blush

freneticfox · 20/05/2015 19:20

What age should they be able to pick things up and put them in their mouth? I think LO is getting frustrated..

Memphisbelly · 20/05/2015 21:50

Frenetic I think it is around now, about a month after they find there hand, LO started holding his toy and flapping it about so cant see it being long

FatherBiggley · 21/05/2015 02:22

My LO is 11 weeks now and he's started trying to chew on everything.

Addictedtocustardcreams · 21/05/2015 07:25

LO is interacting with his jungle gym a lot more here. Been getting some toys in his mouth but don't think it was 100% on purpose!

littleostrich · 04/06/2015 10:01

Hi everyone... I just found this thread after it was linked elsewhere, hope it's not too late to join in! Smile I'm a first time mum, DS was born six weeks early in February (we weren't expecting him until the end of March) so it was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster, but he's doing brilliantly. Can't believe how fast time is flying by though!

GeekyHybrid · 05/06/2015 19:24

Hi littleostrich. Sorry it's been a bit quiet on hear, many have jumped ship to our FB group! I fell off when on holiday with no Internet Confused Almost had a meltdown as we'd been told there was Internet!
Addicted and WhyO, how are you doing?

GeekyHybrid · 05/06/2015 19:25

That should be here not hear. F'ing autocorrect.

freneticfox · 07/06/2015 16:42

I've been terrible at keeping up to date on here, especially with a crazy-fussy baby right now!

Littleostrich, of course it's not too late to join; are you on Facebook? If so, it'd be lovely to see you on our group (it's a secret group so it doesn't show in your timeline or anything). Just PM me your email address and I can send you an invite.

WhyO - hope you're doing ok, I think about you often! And if you're on FB now, do let us know ;)

littleostrich · 07/06/2015 17:26

I've sent you a PM, fox. Smile

Memphisbelly · 07/06/2015 20:11

Just checking in to see how whyo is

WhyOWhyWouldYou · 10/06/2015 15:32

I'm holding up. Been really busy. Little Miss is growing well now but is so fussy about temperature of the milk its ridiculous. I have to heat it up a bit more after its made with the perfect prep! Funny since DS, 3yrs, still won't eat or drink anything warm - he waits until its cold and we've so far been unsuccessful in persuading him warm things are good.

She keeps getting teething pain and has partially cut two teeth. She's the first in my family not to have 3 teeth by 3months and 4 by four months.

Also she's started learning to roll from back to front but gets upset that she can't get back over.

DS who was practically an angel when he was 2-3yrs old, is currently experiencing the terrible 3's.

I'm still having problems with pelvis and back but have been able to increase pain meds, so am just about coping.

How is everyone else?

Memphisbelly · 12/06/2015 09:38

Lo has teeth trying to come through but nothing yet.

WhyO do you have facebook? Everyone seems to have moved over to there as its easier to post. Glad you are ok apart from ds becoming a threenager....it does pass

GeekyHybrid · 13/06/2015 09:30

Hi whyo, good to hear from you but sorry to hear you're still on the pain meds. That really is poo Thanks
We're ok here. LO is now sleeping through, well, 9 ish to 6 ish which doesn't seem long enough for his age but it's a solid nights sleep so I shouldn't complain, it's more than others are getting! Naps are hit and miss, he's a complete sleep fighter during the day hence I worry he's not getting enough. Hey ho. He still has reflux which can make him grotty but other than that he's a smiley boy who likes grabbing things - toys, muzzys, hair, boobs Confused We've started teaching him 'NO'!!
I'll try check in on here more frequently, see what's happening etc..

tweety89 · 22/06/2015 09:59

Hi whyO. Haven't checked the thread for a while. I'm sorry you're still having pelvis and back problems. Flowers A friend of mine gave birth in Jan and she still has pains but her GP agreed that she can start swimming (not breaststroke!) and keep on getting her meds and she's started feeling a bit better.
LO is not feeding during the night, however, he's been having interryped sleep for a while and wakes up around 5am thinking it's time to wake up! :) He's started grabbing hair, nothing else yet, he's really smiley but when his teething starts he's a whinger (in comparison to DD at least).
I'm experiencing the terrible 4's with my daughter (up until she went to school she was the ideal child), so I'm hoping that in August when she's finally 5 she's going to go back to how she was! Grin wishful thinking...
As Geeky said, I'll try and check in on here more frequently too.

tweety89 · 22/06/2015 10:00

*interrupted (not sure what happened there...interryped?) :)
