We are however having real problems with behaviour in general, so getting her a reward chart to see if that will help! got her to bed last night by putting a night light in her room but she was still up during the night! argh!

Evening all

I am sooooooo bored waiting for the Peter Kay programe on C4 to start! I should be filling out Jack Disability Living Allowence forms but they are so long and you pretty much have to repeat yourself over and over again!

Anyway as i say i am filling time so i think i will just ramble for a while lol! I hope you don't mind to much!

Harry is a grumpy sod and has been for several days! he has 2 front teeth and a molar!!!! How wierd is that! He's only 18 weeks old!!!!!!
Poor thing is so clingy and grizzly his cheeks are bright red and he just gnaws on everything.
He has decided he will not sleep without me holding or feeding him which is a bit of a bugger but we have decided to put up with it until he's feeling a little better.

Jack is fine a bit chesty and coughing merrily but nothing bad, we have to put off potty training him now he has been diagnosed as children with CF have little control over thier bowel movments so he will take a few more months yet plus we have already changed so much in his routine in the past 6 months we don't want anymore at the moment!

Anyway Wifeswap is on and one of the family are really gross i have to watch this!

I hope all is well. xxx

staceym11 · 25/03/2007 20:16

charlee, hope alls well! glad the boys are ok (despite teething!) keiran has his hands in his mouth all day long but no teeth yet, which i dont mind coz he likes chewing n my fingers and im not looking fwd to the teeth!!

glad jack is ok, i wouldnt worry about potty training, its not like he's very old, i wasnt planning on potty training chloe until the summer but she was soaking through all her nappies so it was wet clothes either way!!

well dd went to bed no trouble, acctually she had the night light on, should prob go check that she went to bed rather than is playing! talk soon!

Morning all

(Lota, Lauren and Aiden beautiful, well done, those blue eyes - gorgeous!!!! You must be so proud of them I have some pictures of George and Thomas on mine if you fancy a peak )

Nothing much to report this morning, I had two glasses of wine last night, naughty naughty, have woken up with a banging head and a mouth like the bottom of a budgie cage, and to top it off a really stiff neck, so I think I am going to dry my hair and get dressed, get DS1 sorted, take him to school and then get into bed with George, that is the best plan I have come up with for ages, much better than 'one more glass won't hurt'!! And all of this from the one that could quite easily work my way through a bottle of wine with out even feeling tipsy....!

We had a really crappy weekend, well not crappy but nothing heppened, DH was on call so we couldn't plan anything or go anywhere, we played with all of DS1's birthday pressies yesterday, and that was it really.

Hope you all have a good day xxx

Morning,
..
Charlee - 3 teeth already I keep thinking DS's top 2 are going to appear but nowt yet...

Well, Sat night DS went to bed at 7 and woke up at 6 Sunday morning!!! Brill sleep. Didn't do much either this weekend, saw family & friends and played about at homw. DS has gone into his cot from his crib and he looks so tiny in it - I cried when we put him in for the first time - how sad am I?

must go dd doing a number 2 on the potty!! sad isnt it that i get so excited!

she hasn't had an accident for 2 days!! but dont tell anyone or it might jinx it!!

staceym11 · 26/03/2007 10:07

mygirl good on dd3 doing it herself!! shes obviously ready!! maybe she wants to be like her big sisters!! how old is she now??

saralou100 · 26/03/2007 12:44

oooh, mygirl, that was a teasing post... you might tell us soon...now i'm bloody intrigued (i am sooooooooooooooo nosey)

ryan's on a mission to roll over at the moment.. he's succeeded a couple of times and one of them involved rolling off the sofa, but he's no master yet!! he's getting pretty good at sitting up too and loves his bumbo seat! another object making my life easier!!

Well so much for coming home and getting into bed, have spent the morning on and off the computer and doing bits of tidying up in between! Still got a really stiff neck, but the effects of the extra glass have, thankfully, worn away

Mygirl, spill the beans!!

Is anyone else's hair falling out? I have noticed for the last few weeks that I seem to be loosing a lot but these last couple of days I am finding hair, my hair, everywhere, and I know it is mine because I am the only one with long hair. I remember with DS1 loosing a bit but this is horrendous!!

NatalieJane · 26/03/2007 13:42

Oh Sara, George also loves his Bumbo, it has really helped with his head control, but alas, he is getting too big for it his legs and arse are getting stuck in it!! LOL

saralou100 · 26/03/2007 13:50

nat, just how big is george? ds1 fits his bum in the bumbo!!! and hes 2!!! although my boys are long and thin (think flag poles!)

hair loss, yes.. lots! i'm actually suprised i have any left in my head!! i have curly hair so it's not till i run my hands through it or wash it that i notice, but i'm literally pulling out chunks at a time!!

i remember with ds1 not realising how badly i had lost it until it was growing back, and i had all these tiny little ringlets all standing up on end!! afro-styleeee!!! not my best look!

OP posts:
NatalieJane · 26/03/2007 13:57

DS1 can fit his bum in it, but we have to literally hold George and prise the bloody thing off him when we take him out of it!! He has now got that big that I can't hold him on my knee when I am feeding him, I either have to lie down with him or hold him like a rugby ball!

saralou100 · 26/03/2007 14:02

i know i probably shouldn't, but... pmsl at prising him out!!

OP posts:
NatalieJane · 26/03/2007 14:10

The first time I went to pick him up out of it and the bumbo came with him I had to put him back down and stop LOLing before I could even attempt to take him out of it again!!

It is quite strange because obviously he has always been heavy, but it is only these last couple of weeks that he has looked fat (fat as in baby fat not as in too much fat IYKWIM?!) His little fat legs... awww, they do look cute

saralou100 · 26/03/2007 14:13

ooooh i love chunky baby thighs... i feel the urge to nibble!!! mmmmmm yummy! and podgy wrists too!!

my boys look as if they've been stretched! long and thin!! no podgy bits!!

OP posts:
saralou100 · 26/03/2007 14:14

i keep giggling at the thought of you picking up george with bumbo attached.. thats gonna keep a smile going all day i think!!

OP posts:
NatalieJane · 26/03/2007 14:17

Yep I like the chubby bits Now if I could get rid of my chubby bits I would be over the moon!!

saralou100 · 26/03/2007 14:25

hmmm..i 've tried ignoring mine in the hope they just disapear... but no, i look down and it still wobbles!! (wobbly bits not so good on grown ups, don't feel the urge to nibble!) i've tried an exercise vid, but i don't think my tummys up to it yet, wound/scar feels very weird and hurts!! i still haven't bloody healed properly!!!

OP posts:
NatalieJane · 26/03/2007 14:38

I have lost lots in places and then in other places I've not! I have lost quite a bit round my belly, though it is still big and so so so wobbly and soft - yuk!! And my legs are in the best shape they have been since before I had DS1! My arms especially my wrists and hands are very skinny, my wedding rings are actually getting too loose! But even where I have lost the weight, my skin is all saggy, belly especially, really not pleasent!

saralou100 · 26/03/2007 14:43

yeah,mines just clinging to my tummy, the rest of me is the same as before pg! particularly my boobs which refuse to change size even when i put on weight!! skiny arms, legs, not much bum.. and then wobbly tumm! i hate sit up's too!

OP posts:
NatalieJane · 26/03/2007 14:47

My boobs go up and down, and down, and down, on a daily basis!!

George is led on the sofa with his mirror and is absolutely laughing his head off He is gorgeous LOL

saralou100 · 26/03/2007 14:56

he must have a funny face!!

OP posts:
NatalieJane · 26/03/2007 15:19

What ya sayin' Sara?

I have been and got DS1 from school, led George back down on the sofa with the same mirror and he is laughing again, maybe he does have a weird face!!! LOL
