Just Mumming 8 - the one with the fire crawlers, wind machines and the Health Visitor revolt

[WilHarlot]

Add your stats Viroids (or don't bother). I feel like there's something I'm supposed to write here but don't know what it is...

name: Juni
age: 34
dc: one dd age 10.5 months, a crawling demon and pretty much freestanding.

Not sure how much I'll be able to get on as we're now app-less but good to catch up with you all.

Hahahaha pissing myself at poo-bag gate. Have you been shunned from AIBU Popz?

I so hope this paed is useful Fleur, is it tomorrow you're going? C has been quite screamy again in the evenings lately and it reminded me of how it used to be - just awful.

DD1 has lost her first tooth, the tooth fairy is coming here tonight! We have been preparing for a good week or so for a visit, even had a magic fairy door installed on top of the landing, she is sooo excited.
DH is waching Wales v Cyprus at a high volume, baby B has just gone to bed, she was fed downstairs in the football noise and fell asleep when DH was winding her. We are trainng them to sleep through anything! Seems to work for us but DS sleeps through his 7am alarm, and DD1 goes to turn it off and wake him before school.....

Awww cute cym! What does the tooth fairy pay nowadays?

It is tomorrow isn't it fleur? Hope you get some answers. Glad DH isn't always this shitty, not sure how you can change it other than talking it out though. Or shouting!

Does the cranial person think one more session will have you sorted then la? Hope it's gets some good results!

I did manage a poo today pixie, but it was an emergency poo which meant I had to cut J off half way through a feed to put him down and poo whilst listening to him scream. Does that count as success?!

So cute Cym. I know a family who get £20 per tooth . I'd be hacking them out myself for that.

I generally poo to the sound of crying/whining or nonsensical chatter from an accompanying toddler. Nothing is sacred anymore.

I put BabyPis to bed in between stages of cooking tea. My fabulous boy did the running up and down the stairs to pop her dummy in for the next ten minutes despite also watching the Wales vs Cyprus game so he gets some extra post-dinner chocolate :-) her father, on the other hand, is out with his friends as he found a reason to be at home despite saying for months he'd start coming here on Thursdays after the holidays. I'm pretty fucked off at living out of a suitcase trundling back and fore to his place with the kids to be honest. I'm on my own most of the week as it is without him squeezing an extra night in.

I want wine. And biscuits. I have neither. Sigh.

£20?? TF We gave a £1 as it was her first, but wrote a letter stating that the rest are 50p each.
Well done BoyPis! DH is over the moon, and is planning his escape to france! (He said we should all go, but that means 6 new passports, we cant aford that plus holiday so DH can watch football, so not very likely)
DP isnt being fair there Pis, when do you plan on moving together? Could it be brought forward?
One day I will be able to go to the bathroom all by myself, and not be told how many bits of paper I need to wipe my own arse (DS rules that 2 or 5 bits should do it, even though he is crap at wiping his arse)
Should go to bed really.....

All my poos are emergency poos since mini arrived.... My pelvic floor/ arse has given up on me!

Haha wil - I don't let myself go in aibu anymore because I don't trust myself not to get in arguments!! I posted on some bint's thread who was getting hysterical about someone putting a poo bag in her nice clean wheelie bin.... I can only assume she keeps it in her front room the fucking fuss she was making about it!! People get so rude and personal. No need.

They have far too much time on their hands.

2 sheets Cym? He needs to rethink that one.

It's a bad sign when it's the first night feed and I haven't yet been asleep.

Did you know deeply did a baby yesterday? Sneeze birth! Thought I would share. She will put her birth story up soon.

My smoke alarm went off. Shit myself (does that count as emergency poo)! Been all around the house (and stuck my head outside) and can't find what set it off. It turned itself off though. DS got up thinking it was his alarm he was delighted to hear he could go back to bed.

Cym we are moving in together when my son finishes GCSEs (he's just gone into year 10) so it's not a timescale we can change. We knew that when we planned BabyPis but he wasn't working away at the time so we thought he'd be here most of the time.

ga, why you sneaking? You have a baby so you have graduated, you can come play! Great news for deeply, hopefully she will make it here shortly.

£20 for a tooth?! It was 50p for us, sounds like teeth money hasn't experienced much inflation cym, that's good. I love the little fairy doors! Excited morning in your house then! 2 or 5 bits of loo roll is oddly specific - and clearly not enough!

Night got any better wil? We are on hourly wake ups here I think.

You have a good boy there pis. Shame about DP though. Is he likely to be travelling less in the near future?

OMG S slept from 10pm (having had a formula top up) until 4am!!! He has just woken again and is feeding.

I am so excited that I have had a whole 6 hours sleep - in one go!

I am sure this will be a one off but I shall bask in the glow of sleep for today at least.

Paediatrician is this afternoon.

I have my post natal check up this morning - what should I expect?

pis that sounds rubbish! I'm glad you have a helpful DS though. I don't know how single mums do it - I hand S over as soon as DH walks in the door!

Being in hospital is prepping me for babies. I've had 4 hours max of broken sleep and now I'm on a monitor- just routine though. I'd just drifted off after bein awake since 4!
Oh and I can't reach anything and really want a cuppa and a biscuit

fleur that's ace! At my postnatal check they checked the baby as it was a joint appointment, then just asked me if I was ok and if CS scar was healing fine. That was it, but expect to be asked about contraception too!

Aww purple you're home later though? When they did my steroids they insisted on waking me up to test sugars once an hour :/

Oh, my appointment is just me today and I am not taking S with me - should I?? S has his in 2 weeks.

Hourly wake ups here, feel like absolute death. Also not feeling well - shivery and achy sore head. B is asleep on my chest and reeks because he's weed and it's come out of the front of the nappy onto me and the bed. Can't bring myself to wake him though.

Pis - riot act needed? He knew the score when minipis was planned.

Fleur - oh god so jealous! Think it was the formula? I did a dream deed which worked well in theory except he only took one boob so woke up after only an hour. He's then been groaning like he needs a poo since 4am

Big hugs La.

Our six week check is just for mums here Fleur. They basically ask if you're ok then chuck you out the door!

Got about 4 1/2 hours sleep I think in one go which isn't bad. Been up since 4.45 though as fed Micro and then Mini got up and no MrWil to distract her. So pretty knackered.

Nice one Fleur! At my 6 week post natal check with P the GP told me I should be doing sit ups. Clearly I did not follow her advice. Generally they ask if the bleeding has stopped, ask about your mood, make sure you're Taking your vitamins and check your abdomen/ uterus.

Nobody is allowed to do a poo in this house without P checking it out before it is flushed away. He is the poo inspector.

Hola Purple and Ga!

Vitamins? I'm meant to be taking vitamins?

Dr told one of nct group at her check that she needn't use contraception as bf is enough!

Loving the poo stories! I had to do an emergency poo this morning and cut E's feed half-way through. I am getting a bit tired of being stared at from the bouncer while I poo. Also, our bathroom is tiny and so I have to wedge the door open to fit the bouncer in. Bad times.

Yay for sleep fleur. Well done S! Hope the paed appointment goes well today.

Sorry for crap sleep and not feeling well la. Hugs Same as others have said, E just naturally started going to bed earlier and I started putting her upstairs then. I think it was at about 9 weeks or 10 weeks and we'd pit her down at about 7 - 8ish. Now at 17 weeks she goes to bed at about 6ish. It is lovely to have an evening, but we still can't hear the TV because she's such a light sleeper and our room is directly above the living room.

Lol pixie that made me laugh!

Oomph wil that sounds knackering. I also got about 4 hours last night (all in one go though, yay!) But at least I don't have an older one to contend with too! I really don't know how you guys with more than one do it! Especially cym - I'm in awe!!

Hi ga and purple!

pis your ds sounds awesome! What a champion going up and downstairs on dummy duty. Sounds like dp might need a kick up the arse though. Must be incredibly hard work being on your own so much.

Dentist today, urgh

Hooray for good sleep fleur! Hope the app goes ok. I just got asked if I was feeling ok and giving a tonne of free condems!

Feel better soon La. I think sometimes lack of sleep makes you feel ill! I slept like shit but can't even blame mini!

That sounds tough Pis - definitely sit him down for a "big chat" bollocking Good that DS is being so good, bless him.

Ha! Baby has just shat all the way up back of nappy and all over dh.

I am happy

Zyla they've checked my 2 hourly overnight, but it took over an hour to sleep between them.
Going home at lunchtime so not much longer
Need to go home I've nearly eaten all my biscuits!
