August 2015. It's all about food consumption and late nights at Bar Mugabe Nights

[Dozygirl]

New thread for us fast talkers

Haha frolic he's obviously not impressed.
Well my plans of an early night are fucked up. DD decided tonight would be the night she climbed the safety gate and fell top to bottom of the stairs. She's OK but has a lump on her head. But I've got to keep an eye out for any signs of anything more serious. So she will be staying up for a bit (she's wide awake and watching frozen) and then in my bed tonight with me.

Oh frolic he's amaze!!!! I could pee myself coughing even pre molly !! Can't imagine that is fun for your scar, so kudos to you!! Did you imagine to get him off to that land of nod in the end?

Oh fatty, what a cheeky monkey you have there, hope she's ok and the bump isn't too egg like!!

So put her down at 9:15, thought she was sound asleep, up again at 20 past, and we've just woken now just after midnight. One lovely hot chocolate with baileys please, think I'm gonna need something to line my stomach x

Ooorrf a baileys hoc choc - lovely!!! Make the two barkeep.

The old night time shenanigans are getting colder and colder aren't they?! I'm praying Dd stays down after this feed is live a decent few hour stretch, that won't happen though so I should stop dreaming!!

Fanby you sound like you need some extra baileys in that hot choc. Next week will absolutely be better!

Frolic - screw you man!! c section coffee is a bit from isn't it. I like the not pissing oneself benefits of it and that I'm 'honeymoon fresh' down there too Hahaha such a cringingly lovely phrase!! Like moist!

Fatty - top to bloody bottom. That girl is a law of physics all on her own Hope she's ok though and that you and her are (safely!) well rested tonight!

Moist is my most hated word lol!! Just so gross!

We're up again, she's just done a lovely fart and is back on boob, hoping for a longer stretch like you mzzzf, one can dream right???!

Bloody cold too, and it's not even that cold due to heating if you know what I mean!!

Have I seriously got the dance floor all to myself?? Go your babies!!! Hope everyone is having lovely zzzz's x

Hope everyone has had a good night! fanby you're hardcore still on the dance floor post 5am!

fatty how is your dd? It's terrifying when they have an accident, my dd tumbled backwards down most of the stairs a few months ago, I screamed! I think I was more upset than her, though she was pretty traumatised by it. She's very careful on stairs now...

Well today is the one year anniversary of my embryo transfer, so I'm feeling emotional and very happy and lucky to have my baby. It took four attempts to get dd2 (and one attempt to have dd1) but all the money and heartache was worth it

Let's hope we all get lots of sleep this week, or if not sleep then lots of chocolate

Ahh, happy transfer anniversary giraffes - if that's the right way to say it hope you celebrate with some cake today xxx

I'm waiting for my mum to wake up and then I'm totally handing her the most wide awake baby in the whole wide world. What's the betting she'll then sleep for more than 90mins in a block unlike her last nights behaviour?

No Fanby I was there too but both hands occupied by a sleep vampire of a baby!! Rest assured I'm always at Mugabe nights!!! I just didn't get up to dance because I was waiting for the classic "Neunundneunzig Luftballons"

Happy anniversary Giraffes! I thought about Nov 8th when it came by too, as that was DDs conception! Is it weird that I know the exact date we dtd to make her?!

Fanby - of course that's EXACTLY what Molly will do. They're tricksy little monkeys I tell you!

Don't know whether to implement project nap off of me this week?! I'm tired but on the other hand think that he snoozing in her cot will help with the nighttime. Or maybe it won't make a jot of difference but it'd be good to have to arm free time!

Would it be wrong of me to have the dessert I missed out on yesterday for my breakfast?! It's a sugary donut - maybe I could pretend I'm an American cop

Do it mzzf. It's the best time to have one.

Crap nights sleep here too. She had sleep over at nanny's sat night as it was our 3 year anniversary of meeting this weekend. She was good as gold for them and been a nightmare for me ever since. So she ended up in bed with me but i don't sleep very well then.

I'm finding giving bottles whilst out and about increasingly me convenient than trying to latch her in and be sat there for hours and then having to calm her if she has a hissy fit. I still want to carry on bf but it definitely has its cons sometimes. She's a much more contented baby on bottles. Never fusses, just gets on with it. Whereas on boob she'll get so angry at it that she throws proper tantrums which is quite awkward when you're at someone's house or out and about. She did it at the in laws house. It's so embarrassing.

I want some sleep. We all want some sleep. Lack of sleep sucks!!!

Mugabe Monday morning! Ds wasn't having any of my early to bed plans, but did sleep 10:30-5:30 and went straight back down and is still snoring. Shame I was up all night sweating and coughing.

Oh god fatty. That sounds super scary. I hope she's ok.

Mmmm Bailey's - great idea fanby. Wake you mum up, give her the baby and get thee back to bed. She won't mind. It's what grannies are for.

Honeymoon fresh mzzf? Surely I need a chance to shower for that? C-section coughing is the pits.
Definetly have the donut for breakfast.
No advice re: project nap - it's all gone to shit here this past week.

Happy transferversiry giraffes. Cake all round.

dozy. Bf'ing has it's downsides. Don't feel bad about doing Whatever works best for you and Piper.

Happy transfer anniversary giraffes
mzzzf definitely eat doughnut for breakfast.
DD has a lovely lump and bruise on her head (above her left eye and into her hair) but as you can see she's her same butty self so alls good

Butty? Nutty self that should say!

Happy transfer anniversary giraffes, frolic, love DS's reaction to an earlier bedtime (I have a similar photo of J feeding while giving me the finger!) and mzzf definitely have the donut for breakfast!

We had a longish period of sleep (for us), unfortunately it was accompanied either side by J refusing to settle for ages, both at 10pm and 5am. Am resorting to plugging the dummy back in and falling asleep, which makes me feel like a terrible mum, but I feel exhausted at the moment.

Can I also have a brief whinge about DH? I woke up this morning at 5am soaked in milk (curse cheap breast pads!). Fed J, got him soaked as well (right through his thicker gro bag). He finishes, won't go back to sleep, starts wailing. I am still leaking, so grab pump to try and express and ask DH to sort J out. He looks pained, lists a few minor ailments, says he doesn't feel well and can I do it? Then he suggests the noise of the pump is upsetting J! Am not very pleased with him, particularly after we had a long talk about me struggling and he promised to take on more stuff. Of the 3 jobs he said he would do over Friday and the weekend, he has done none of them! We were quite busy, but he still managed a quick xBox session yesterday when we got back and I was Skyping my parents! Not massively pleased with him, but as it's our anniversary today, I had better swallow it and be nice when he gets home tonight

Oh I'd love a hot chocolate with Baileys. Perfect in this weather! How bloody cold yesterday?

Fanby don't worry. I am always at magube nights just usually sat at the back drinking alone (I am always too tired to post at night and the wifi is shit in our bedroom)

So glamorous motherhood story 756. Currently sat under a feeding / sleeping baby with no tissue in reach and my nose won't stop running. Basically got no choice but to wipe it all over my top. Lovely.

Congrats on the anniversary giraffe. Saw my friend yesterday who is starting ivf in the new year. She was so good with Aidan. Really hope it works out for her.

Nolonger bed is going badly. I was getting a bit stressed / frustrated / pissed off with it all so we have decided to give ourselves a week off from trying and then start again. But the stress of spending all evening to try and get him into bed and him not sleeping at all just doesn't seem worth it. At least if he sits up with us he sleeps.

Fatty your Dd is so cute. Hope she is ok.

Here is a photo of today's project nap massive success. Ha ha ha.

Happy anniversary all! I'm pretty sure we conceived a year ago today. What a year had a lovely playgroup this morning bow having a sneaky costa before home!

Hi all -

Sorry to all those ñot getting sleep. DD has been sleeping 9-2/3ish the last few nights, then I wake her at 5am when I get up and give her a little feed, put her back down while I get ready and get everyone else ready, then get her up - long may this continue! She has always been good at napping during the day - just pops her little thumb in and off she nods.

frolic lol at cheeky pic - wee cutie

giraffe happy anniversary - lovely happy ending story.

tindel whinge away about DH! Mine has been even more annoying than usual this weekend!! He went to Costco on Friday - I came home from picking DCs up from school to all the shopping dumped in middle of kitchen floor while he had gone cycling - flaming mad. Put it all away and he comes wandering in, tired from cycling and goes to sit in steam room to relax his muscles. By this time I've put all shopping away,made tea, tided up, baths and bed. I go to bed with DD and he creeps into bedroom - I can smell aftershave a mile away - seriously, he thinks he can come in smelling nice, say sorry and gave a night of passion!!

On Sunday at an all day swimming gala with DS and DD1 (and baby!) - left at 8am - came home at 6pm - breakfast and lunch dishes lying, 3DCs still in jammies and all waiting on their tea - aaaarrrrrggggg - why does DH do nothing in house?? On the plus side - very proud of DS - he qualified to swim in Scottish school finals - he says baby is his lucky mascot

Went swimming again this morning with baby and toddler - thankfully no fire alarm today......

Can't remember who mentioned Warbuton's giant crumpets - my DCs love the muppet advert and made me buy them in supermarket - trouble is they don't like them - obviously I can't let food go to waste so have now eaten 2 packs with one left - may as well have for lunch!!

I'm baaaaack... with a slight name change. I hope i can keep up with you all! Eva is being a little monkey today and she wont sleep in her cot at night.... joy! hope everyone is ok xxx

Hi guys,

I'm soooooooo tired. DD slept all of 3 hours last night. Don't even feel human anymore. On top of which I actually wet myself when I sneezed today even tho I had Emcs. Dh found me crying in the laundry room today. I'm starting to struggle.

Please please let sleep return soon!

grok sleep deprivation is a form of torture, yet us mums are expected to just suck it up!
If it helps any when I was pregnant and suffering morning sickness, I would regularly wee at the same time as being sick. I actually ended up buying a washing up bowl to use as my sick bucket, then I could sit on the loo and put that on my knee so I wasn't constantly weeing my pants.
hope sleep returns soon for you.

Evening all! Another super snotty and boring day here

Glad Dd is ok fatty. She looks super cool in those shades.

I hope you manage to have a nice anniversary tindel, but I also hope you plant your foot firmly in his backside.

Snotty sleeves are standard around here kbro. I have almost convinced myself that the shine is nice and Christmassy.

Did you wear your lippy in the pool this week loves, just in case?! Well done Ds on the swimming success.
Giant crumpets??? How have I missed this amazing development??

Welcome back happy!!! Where have you been?

I hope you have a better night grok

Ds is still under the weather and I'm a bit worried as he has his 2nd jabs on Wednesday. Does anyone know if they shouldn't have them when they're ill?

Sorry been absent havent been feeling great the last few days so wasn't up to posting but I've been reading- as Mzzf and kbro said- I'm always at the bar too just not necessarily being a social butterfly! I've just been feeling really down a lot and constantly on the brink of tears- I think it's mainly because DS has been terrible the last few days/ nights screaming like a banshee and then being mega unsettled overnight- so im just utterly exhausted!! I'm struggling with looking after him and both dogs and we've agreed to try and rehome the giddy one as it's not fair on them not getting their walks all the time because she won't walk with pram/baby carrier without tripping me up. That in turn is making me feel guilty and even sadder! I always said I wouldn't be one of those people but I can't cope at the moment with both of them! Had a good cry today to DH who wasn't brilliantly sympathetic as he's not used to me being like this but he did try bless him! Felt good to get it out and hopefully at least he knows now- he was getting angry that I was moping all the time thinking there was something wrong between us or something. Truth is I couldn't tell him why I felt so sad as I don't even know I just feel like there is too much going on in my head- like its full of treacle I can't see through and that I'm exhausted having to constantly think about where the baby is in relation to the dogs and other things making me worried! I actually laughed as I was trying to explain how even 'getting a glass of water' was complicated as I realised how silly it sounded!! Basically I'm exhausted and my brain is mush!!

That said DS hadn't pooed for 3 days which is v.v. unlike him and I think was a lot of the screaming/ unsettledness but had a giant poonami earlier- socks, pants, top and vest all soaked!! So hopefully now he's confuse he will sleep tonight! He's napping on me now (I'm bursting for a wee but daren't move) and has been shrieking at this time the past 2 nights so fingers crossed! So feeling a little more upbeat this evening but just received news that my cousin has bone cancer and it is quite developed but has only just found out. This world ain't half cruel.

Anyway enough about me!!!

Giraffes- happy transferversary!! I was thinking the other day that DS must have been conceived some time round here! Strange thinking this time last year I had no idea his little life had begun in my belly.

Fatty hope DD is ok.

Tindel and love- still feeling your DH frustrations!! Whinge away!! I feel like I've done enough whinging tonight so I'll not go into detail but I agree!!

Frolic I'm not sure about them being ill making a diff- maybe give the Hv a quick call?

Hey just a quick post as off for a cheeky bath but frolic DS was full of cold when he had his jabs. Nurse told me they only worry if baby has temp but cold they are fine to have. I'd go and tell them he's been unwell and see what they say.

Lots of love to everyone having a rough time. Wish I had some nice practical advice but don't - only keep talking and being honest about feeling. for everyone I think! This motherhood lark is bloody tough.

Evening all! J has been in a grouchy mood most of the day, so did my best to ignore it and went out for a walk and then did some shopping. J erupted when DH got home, so frantic anniversary dinner for us, then plonked J in the bath. His skin is quite dry and sore, so wondering if that's making him cross. Smothered him in baby oil and I'm feeding him somewhere quiet and dark in the hope he will calm down and sleep. DH is currently remaking the bed and doing the bins, so can't really whinge at him now, particularly as he's done one of the jobs I asked him to do when he was at work.

HV rang today, we had a quick chat and she's coming to see me on Wednesday for a proper chat about the available help and what would work best for me. Slightly nervous, but hope it will help me. No tears today, but still feeling sad and numb, plus worrying I'm not doing the right things for J, as he gets so cross sometimes and I just can't seem to soothe him.

Maybe see you at the bar later?
