July 2006-rolling, sitting, eating and maybe, just maybe, crawling!!!!!!!

[HumphreysCorner]

Thought I had better start a new thread as the old one was about to crash

Happy 30th B'Day kbaby Wish I was 30 again but then I suppose I wouldn't even be married let alone have a house to live in or my 2 precious children. Whoops-going all sentimental now, better go!

Taking DD1 to her dance class Christmas Party so got some sarnies to be getting on with.

Happy Sunday

thanx for your advice. But i'm afraid i'm with agalch, i'd rather stay in and know that Jazz is happy. Then leave her and have her upset. I know I am far too soft (people tell me all the time), Jazz is still in my bed coz she got upset in her cot, what does that tell you?

Agalch- 2 stone, that's great! well done! I am determined to stick to my diet this time (have only started it 3 times since having Jazz)

Do you wanna laugh?...

I brought a swimming cossie the other day, pants and a halter neck top (to cover my belly). Anyway, tried it on when i got home and nearly wet myself. I tell you, I never realised just how much bigger my boobs are since breastfeeding, till I tried this top on and there was more boob out then in. Dh and I were rolling about laughing. It was really not decent for a mum of 3 to have that much on show. Will have to save it till I stop feeding. Never mind.

Soph- I potty trained dd1 just after she was 3 and dd2 just before 3. I dont really like to rush them. But get used to the poo on the floor. We had that a few times, not nice! And in the knickers, yuk! Oh the joys of potty training!

Sorry to hear about your probs with nursery HC, and that your not feeling too good. Hope things pick up for you soon.

Have a good evening all!

Pinkdolly glad you have made the right decision for you and Jazz.I just feel i have years left to do all that stuff and thet are soo little for such a short time.

Had a horrible day,yucky doing the suppositaries and she had vomited every time we have managed to get the ab's into her.It's so hard to see her so unwell.

DD1 is doing ok with toilet trainng,has the odd accident but nothing major.

Have a good night xx

agalch-hugs to you all, sounds nasty. But, get you reaching that 2 stone mark.

pink-you are not soft. When I had DD1 I never hesitated to leave her but I can't bring myself to be parted from Sophie-hope this feeling eases up or I never be able to cut the apron strings.

How are you kbaby?

HC - well done!

Kbaby - how did your first day at work go? How was your lo?

Agalgh - congratulations on getting to 2 stone - am v

Evening girls.

Soph - I potty trained DS1 when he was just turned two, and he cracked it in about 3 weeks all told. He is now 2.4 and dry at night as well. i think he was just really ready. I had been offering the potty pretty much all summer so it wasn't strange for him. Toby was only a month old, but I figured it's got to be easier doing it now when I can just plonk Toby down without him moving anywhere rather than when he is crawling around.....i reckon it's got to be your decision based on how receptive your child is to the whole idea, but IMHO don't give up.....he'll get it eventually, all of a sudden and you'll be so glad you persevered....

Had a lovely day here today. Just loafed about the house this afternoon playing and dancing to Dirty Dancing Soundtrack! have discovered Toby eats better to that than David Grey or Massive Attack

Morning ladies.

Agalch didn't realise how poorly elidih was, I hope she feels better soon. It's so upsetting to see your kids poorly.

Thanx for your kind words re me leaving Jazz- HC I have always been quite wary about leaving my girls but the feeling is much stronger with Jazz. She's a different baby tho, a lot more dependant then the girls. Really needs her cuddles and her mummy much more then they did. I think I get it from my mum tho- she cried when I moved out at 18 and I only moved 2 miles away. A year later she sold her house and moved to the same town. Lol

Well, last night was awful. Jazz is really poorly with this fluey thing. She had me up most of the night. So I am not going to the spa open evening tonite, I cant leave her now.

Hope you all have a good day!

sorry to hear Jazz is sick and your LO too Algach. roll on Summer.

I see, KZ goes on holiday and no-one posts anymore... humph!!

Forgot to mention, Jazz got her first tooth, bitten boobies inbound!

Hi there..just a message for pink dolly. My dd is 6 months onld and has refused a bottle from 12 weeks. I have a season ticket at our local football club & have been able to go to every match except 2, when she was really little. I just leave her with a spouty cup, doidy cup & a bowl & spoon, and let whoever is watching her decide what to use. It was scary the 1st couple of times, but she has always been fine. Worst case she feeds off a spoon, & she will happily take 4/5oz that way..think she likes it actually. She will only take 1/2oz from the spouty cup, but she is getting better. Another option is a syringe (is that how it's spelt). Anyway, don't let that stop you having your special day..you need a rest & pamper too!

Hey KZ - lovely to hear from you all the way from sunny Oz. Glad the flight went ok - is it lovely and warm over there??

Agalgh - hope eilidh gets better soon - saw your other thread about the antibiotics, it is so difficult isn't it?

Josh is another baby who doesn't seem to want much breakfast - last couple of days, he has only taken about 5 oz and a couple of spoonfuls of fruit/porridge. Guess some babies are just not that hungry in the morning.

Back to work for me tomorrow - can't believe how quickly the last 7 and a half months have gone - it only seems like yesterday that I was walking out of the place with my belongings with a stomach the size of a house!!

Will try and MN at lunchtimes if I can!

Lol-Bloss, you can see who the motormouth is on here Oh, there you are kayzed Am pleased you are having a brill time and enjoying the glorious weather . Is sleeting here in Lincolnshire so have lit a coal fire as still full of cold.

Ceebee-good luck for tomorrow. Remember that walking out feeling so well-would have skipped if I was able along with my carrier bags. You think you are going to be away for ages but sadly time flies.

DH phoned earlier to say that a girl due back at his place from maternity leave only wants to come back 2 days which is not acceptable to them so did I want the job? I have explained so many times that I a) don't want to leave Sophie yet b) don't like one of the managers there (tosser!) c) they can't pay me the hourly rate that the bank did and d) don't want to work at all!!!! The mere mention of the word work made me shake. agalch has summed it up well that they are babies and toddlers for such a short time and I feel I missed out on DD1's early moments. Always at the back of my mind that spending time apart from her has caused this rift between us. So determined to not let this happen with Sophie. Can do things when the girls are older and more independant.

Waffling now so will go and have a cuppa.

Byee for now.

Afternoon ladies

I have just had the worst night of my entire life.Had to sit upright in bed all night with Eilidh.Am managing the suppositaries(i'm shit at spelling)but she has had no ab's at all.Have tried a pipette with tiny drops and squirting the whole lot down her throat.

Result??? Copious amounts of vomit all over dp and i Phoned gp x2 today whos not the least bit concerned.She said if i had weaned her earlier she would be able to take medication.WTF??? so it's my fault for waiting till shes 6 months?

Doesn't matter what us mums do eh? We are always wrong!!

Ignore the stupid doctor algach - what an aole. Ryan was on antibiotics over Xmas - and vomited most of his doses straight back up too. Was awful - felt so hopeless. I really feel for you having to tackle both ends, so to speak - poor thing. Really hope Eilidh gets better soon. Keep your pecker up! Impy

Oh agalch-this is horrendous! It is bad enough with Sophie having a cold and having to squirt Calpol in her mouth. Poor little Eilidh. And what is with the absurd comment about not weaning early enough???

Hugs to you ((xxx))

Agalch - am and at your GP's comments - not only is it wrong that she is encouraging people to go against current guidelines - but it is not particularly helpful to you is it?

Really hope you have a better night tonight

Thanks girls

Really appreciate your hugs and sympathy,twas much needed.

Have decided to carry on with the paracetomal supps and will have one more attempt at the ab's.She was starting to refuse bf as well in case we were sneaking in ab's i think.Not taking the chance of her being more ill through dehydration.

HC she said to hide the ab's in a spoonful of food and was gobsmacked when i said i would be weaning at the end of January. Have waited to wean as she is perfectly happy and content with bf.

My weigh in this week will be interesting as i have hardly eaten anything...no time lol.

Oh and hiya KZ knew you couldn't stay away

agalch - hugs and sympathies from me too xxx

algach - hope Eilidh is better soon, think your GP was not helpful, giving medication to babies is tricky at the best of times {{hugs}}.

My mum is staying for a few days so having a lovely time with her. She must be a good influence as DS slept 13 hours straight last night . I woke up at 6am and had to get the pump out (he didn't wake for a feed until nearly 8) as I felt so inflated. Just had to resettle him now, but was fairly quick, so am hoping he might do the same trick tonight.

Absolutely freezing here, brrr....

{{{hugs}}} Agalch, hope you have a better night tonight. Sounds like a thoughtless comment from your GP, I'm sure if they had thought about it properly they would realise how daft it was.

Hope all the other poorly LO's are on the mend xx Emma's getting a cold, I left her crying for ages this morning because it was just a quiet grizzle and I thought she would settle - then realised it was only quiet because she was so hoarse God is there no end to parental guilt...

Kayzed - glad you've landed safely

Mae - good news, hope the sleeping continues!

Had a lapse last night (up at 12.30, 2.30 and 5) after a few much better nights, hopefully it's just a blip. The bloomin' dog had us up for 3 hours on Sunday night, puking and howling - DP dealt with the worst of that one though, poor soul.

Have good nights all xx

Agalch - (((hugs))) from me too, not very helpful GP cant have helped matters tho, hope eilidh gets better soon

pink - hope jazz is felling better soon

kbaby - how was work? are you back full time?

HC - how awful about the nursery hope sophie gets over her cold quickly

ceebee - good luck for work tomorrow
also remember that walking out feeling all those months ago and agree HC wouldve skipped if i could have too

HC - your words about not going back to work really got me thinking. i have been weighing up my options for going back to work, financially we would manage although obviously on a tighter budget. Always said if i went back to work it would only be pt so is it worth putting charlotte to a childminder when i dont have to just to have a bit of extra cash because thats all it would be after childminding fees and travel expenses. im loving being with her and feel if i go back to work when i dont have to, am i an awful person? Its not as if i love my job or anything. my mum says i could try it and give up if i feel its not working out, get the impression my mil feels i should go back but think this is because she did. sorry for rambling, im just so confused.

Charlotte moves all around her cot in the night, whenever i go to get her in the morning she is rarely in the position she was and if she is its only because shes turned full circle thank goodness for grobags.

well dont think charlotte has rolled yet but charlotte stayed over at pil on sat night and mil told me on sunday morning when we went over she rolled right over while lying on the floor that morning not sure whether to believe her or not as she told me charlotte said 'mama' last time she looked after her and funnily enough nearly 2 months later she is still only babbling and have never heard her utter that word yet get the feeling mil just wants to make me feel i have missed out, dont know if she does it on purpose or not but its starting to annoy me surely as a mother she should realise how sad it makes you if you have missed out on any firsts so if shes making it up thats surely worse sorry i'll stop now, getting worked up just typing this.

hope all babies and mums sleep well, good night all xx

Hello people. Just checking in briefly to get the thread back in my Threads I'm On list. Agalch - I do hope Eilidh gets better soon - what a cr*p thing for the GP to say?! Beadmum - sounds like your MIL just likes to boast, it's probably wishful thinking on her part!

Our weekend went really well. Aidan was lovely with his sister right from the word go - I'm sure he could tell she's family. He was as good as gold the whole way there and back (10 hours and 9 hours respectively).

Back to work again tomorrow so must go. Night all!

Hey

Algagh - stupid GPs..i hate them, sometimes it is like they live on a different planet! Hope your little one gets better soon xx

Went to the mum and baby group again and they are teaching me to knit! Don't mind, havent really done it since I was little.

Jake is being a big poo at the moment, scratching my face off (no matter how much I trim his nails) and stealing my glasses and trying to break them...grrr...

Feeling so tired lately, don't know whats wrong with me!

agalch you poor thing - horrid horrid gp!

jacob had an infection after his hernia op at 6 weeks and we had to put the syringe in his mouth a tthe same time as his bottle for his ab's! he still vomited up most of it though. at your GP though!

we have snow - but then so does most of the country I think!

KZ any tips on singapore - we are going o nour way bac kfrom NZ in march?
