Our babies are teething, screaming and generally not sleeping, but we're still JS-ing - it's Just Mumming 10!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 10th Just Mumming thread...following the trials and tribulations of our babies, following the success of Just Shagging in getting us viroids upduffed!

For those that don't know, a 'viroid' is from the original JSing thread 1, where someone was trying to type ladies (in reference to all the JSing ladies), but their phone decided to call us all viroids instead!

The name stuck and we've been the JSing viroids ever since.

The 43rd grads thread is here

The thread we have graduated from is HERE in its 56th outing. WARNING: they're all a bit kerazy not to mention randy!

The previous Just Mumming thread is HERE

There is also a private facebook group (so it doesn't give the game away in your news feed!)... if you want to join to see photos of new babies etc, just ask in-thread!

FFS my boob is broken again. It was all going so well up to this point and now my boob keeps going wrong.
Can we put broken boobs in the next Fred title? Seems to be a theme here... :(

Toast85 · 24/01/2016 19:37

Sorry, hi niff! Have you done a subtle name change?

RPopz · 24/01/2016 20:22

Niff hellloooooo! Welcome to the dark side!!

The inclusion of tits in your nc is very apt Grin

cookielove · 24/01/2016 20:41

Hello all :)

Welcome niff

I have just found out a friend is 12 weeks pregnant I am so pleased for her but oh my has she got her work cut out for her. He lb is the same age as E! I am also very jealous Blush

la there is a whole range of putting little ones to sleep at nursery. We either rub their tummies or backs in a cot, put them ina rocker or pram or rock them off in are arms!

purplewhale · 24/01/2016 21:11

Cookie are you broody for no 2?

Bums for all the broken boobs, hope they are better soon

Welcome Niff, how's it going?

ZylaB · 24/01/2016 21:12

Hi niff, welcome and congrats!

DulcetMoans · 24/01/2016 23:23

Hey niff! Enjoy your first night at home - hope it's as smooth as possible.

Jcandy · 24/01/2016 23:35

Hey niff great to see you over here Smile

Oh toast I was so pleased that you'd sorted it. How is it doing now?

Urgh I think I've got thrush in Mt nipples Sad another trip to the GP tomorrow, it's never ending!

Jcandy · 24/01/2016 23:37

la my guinea pig is really not well Sad he had dental surgery on Friday but is still hardly eating anything. I'm trying my best to give him the food supplements but it's hard to find the time. He's got a post op appointment tomorrow and I'm dreading them saying he's lost even more weight

Nefertitts · 25/01/2016 18:46

Hello everyone and thanks for the welcome. And for all the advice over the last 10 days. Can't believe tiny t is only 10 days old, feels like a lifetime. It's going ok, t is so far a great baby, I'm tired tho as she's completely clingy, refuses to really have anything to do with anyone else. Can't blame her after a week in a plastic box but it would be nice if she's settle on my DH sometimes. For both of us - he's feeling really left ok.

Hobbit19 · 26/01/2016 04:21

Oh no, your poor guinea JC, really hope he pulls through. Poorly pets are so stressful never mind having to deal with a newborn baby at the same time. Flowers. What did the gp say about your boobs? Hope they are okay!

Don't worry *Niff, T and DH will get there. Poor wee girl had a bit of a traumatic start in the world and just wants her Mummy which is totally okay! Does she enjoy having a bath? If so can DH do this so that they can have some happy time together? Can the three of you all cuddle together too? T will feel secure with you whilst getting familiar with DH'S smell/voice. We are a few weeks ahead of you but have a little system whereby DH either gives a bath or an expressed bottle each evening (alternate evenings) so that they get quality time together each day.
Funnily enough, doing the night feed on Friday really boosted DH'S confidence with P, I think because he did it all alone without me looking over his shoulder, although P was already quite happy with him so this may be in the future for you. It has taken a month or so for DH to build his confidence up though so tell your man not to worry!

Star to La for the epic catch up!

Jcandy · 26/01/2016 05:14

Definitely thrush so now I'm on creams as is G for her mouth (definite thrush) and bum (possible). I feel like I'm back at work trying to juggle all these meds and making sure we both get the correct dose. I'm still on my antibiotics too.

My guinea pig has had to go for a hospital stay for a couple of nights as he did lose more weight Sad he needs feeding up and I just don't have the time to do it especially when G is feeding every hour to an hour and a half in the day

DulcetMoans · 26/01/2016 05:50

How has the first night gone niff?

Sad news about the Guinea pig JC but at least you know they are taking care of him so you can focus on things at home. Like shitty thrush!

DulcetMoans · 26/01/2016 05:54

OMG! Magnums to shrink?! We will have to eat twice as many now.

Hey y'all

Broken, so broken. B finally stopped being a snot monster yesterday but was left with a cough so he's been waking himself up every half hour all night. Me and mum are absolutely knackered.

Dh hasnt come home after his work night out to London. Missing presumed boozed up and comatose somewhere.

Toast noooooooooo! Is boob any better today?

Cookie you should bottle that skill and sell it. You'd make millions .

We were starting to get B to nap in cot during day instead of sleepyhead/us downstairs. He'll go down but doesn't sleep very long so is still cranky. Anyone know how to get them to go longer? We've given up since he's been poorly as it's just easier to hold him.

Went to Dr about my boob lump and I've been referred for breast screening. He said its most likely a fatty lump or could still be blocked duct (surely it's got to be bf related?) but that they have to rule out cancer. Staying positive here and not letting myself go too far in my head about that one.

Meant to be going to Little Notes today then to a lunch with my mummy friends but I think we will just keep Ben quiet at home. Need to get him over this cold so mum can go home. She's amazing shes been up last two nights!

Niff I hope first couple of nights have gone ok? It takes the men a few days to find their own way of settling baby without boobs but he'll get there and she'll feel more and more comfortable going to daddy. Let him have time with her (I used to keep taking B off dh which didn't help) and he'll find his own way with her.

Thrush too JC? Oh no!!! Hopes you've caught it early thoug and you'll get it sorted.

Poor poorly pig! I'm sure after some TLC he'll be fine. When they've got sore teeth they can take a while to get back into the swing once teeth sorted. Gx for him!

Why does everyone shrink the good snacks? I'm still incensed about pickled onion monster munch. Yes you can buy bigger ones now but those piddly bags you get everywhere are useless!

LaLaLaaaa · 26/01/2016 07:15

Why the fuck are they doing that? I don't eat ice cream to be healthy!

LaLaLaaaa · 26/01/2016 10:12

Dh turned up stinking of booze and fags and is now in bed presumably thinking that's him sleeping for the day while we look after poorly bub.

Seriously - I need gin!!!!!

OP posts:
DulcetMoans · 26/01/2016 10:53

Shock does your mum say anything?!

Hobbit19 · 26/01/2016 11:24

La you don't need gin, you need your DH to step up! You've been up all night with a poorly baby (on the back of 6 months chronic sleep deprivation), and he was up all night boozing... and he is the one sleeping now?! Wake him up, give him B and go to sleep! The fact that he went on a night out given the day you had yesterday is Shock but to come back late and then go to sleep too! Bad Miroid!

Jcandy · 26/01/2016 11:26

That's what the vet seems to think too la fingers crossed they get some food in him.

What on earth was he thinking la that's deserves a major payback!

LaLaLaaaa · 26/01/2016 12:42

It was his work's christmas night out so he'd asked if I miinded if he went out and I said no. But I thought it was going to be local and just a night out (like normal folk). He then told me they were going up to London.

I'd texted him a 11:30 last night saying please could you just stay at a mate's if you're wasted as we've been up all night with poorly baby and I don't need you coming in waking him up at 4am. He apparently decided when he got that message that the best thing to do would be to go to a club all night and then get first train home this morning.

No idea how much money he'll have spent that we don't have - I was told to put the tumble dryer on my credit card because we couldn't afford it (i.e. if I want one I have to pay for it) and also I'm annoyed because if he'd just gone out and come home like a normal individual (i.e. instead of an alcoholic) then he'd be up by now and helping us. Instead he's still in bed now (12:40) and working at 3pm so he'll likely just get up and go to work.

I don't mind the night out beccause he asked and I said it was fine, but it's the scale of the night out, the money spent, the smoking (he's just spent a year trying to give up) and the lack of text or call to tell me he wasn't coming home.

Mum doesn't want to say anything because she doesn't want to be nagging MIL but she's not pleased. I am smarting anyway with dh because after I fell down the stairs he never bothered to ask if I was ok or anything.

Starting to wonder if marriage is for me tbh :(
