Poor you Dragonhart, I had a day like that on Sunday. Took the 3 out for a walk on my own; really sunny and the sunshade for my Mamas and Papas pramette does not fit, despite being a Mamas and Papas sunshade! WTF??? And it was not cheap. And taking it back will be such a faff....
So it kept falling off; baby crying with sun on her face; DS2 fell over and badly grazed his knee so cried all the way round...arrrgh!!! Had the dog as well. must have looked like a bloody lunatic.
Re: jobs, as laughalot knows, my DH runs an er...meat processing plant and butchers
Me: PR consultant dahhling..mwah mwah...not really, run it from home with a partner
Wilkie...a little bit of grizzling is OK for them to settle themselves, but if it persists (say 10 mins) I would pick up to comfort, then put down when they settle. As my mum always, always says: It might be wind!
LTH - I found the first few weeks a bit trying with Rose crying when I was trying to get boys ready in the morning to get out for school. I had to let her cry because otherwise we would never have got out of our pjs. She just wanted to be held all the time.
Now I know her better I know if she is tired and needs to be put down to sleep.
Does George love his brothers attention? I am always saying, "Be careful, be gentle" with the boys as they minister to her, but then notice she is grinning and laughing! She was fussing this morning because DS2 was sitting next to her but ignoring her, when he talked to her she was smiling again!
And lastly, got my BFP on 26 May, apparently I conceived on 11 May (a Thursday??? Must have been watching old re-runs of ER with George Clooney in).
Took a week to tell DH as I was scared about what he would say. We were watching the boys play in the garden and I said "We are having another one" and after a stunned silence he said "Well there's no point saying how did that happen". All's well that ends well!
