March 2007 - can't keep up

Hi all -miss a few days due to nightmare things happening at home and I can't keep up now - so started a new thread. Perhaps thought we could remind each other when babes were born - I have lost track at who is the oldest etc.

Been busy here. Prac nanny is okay but hard work - feel like I can't totally relax in my own home etc. She is not sure how to deal with /take dd1 - making it hard. Dd1 had major meltdown after swimming the other day and then at hospital appt, then nanny took eyes from her for a second and she is finally found out on the footpath beside a major road and a sensible and lovely man brought her back. Unlike hospital volunteer who managed to stop dd1 taking a lift anywhere but when she could not get dd1 to hold her hand - she just left her It is clear the minute you speak to dd1 she has special needs FGS. poor nanny student was beside herself.

Saturday dh was gone all day on training exercise and dds only wanted daddy - long day. I managed to get out to a trivia night - MY TEAM WON - i found the questions very easy and answered most of them ( not bragging- just surprised my brain still functioned) I took dd3 - she would not go to sleep - come 11pm still wide awake and beyond over tired... got her home - to see dd2 in bed with dh cause she had an explosive puke that covered everything in her room. She was still up at 1am puking and I had dd3 still crying as she was exhausted.

so long rant - long few days - I am wrecked!!

dd3 - 12 weeks old.

Finally get here...

been sooooooooooo busy with dp off this week before new job with massive commute starts next week.
we've run these 3 kids from pillar to post all week with action parks and outing
and they all sleep BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still not as tired as I feel reading Eidsvolds posts, man you sure are one busy mummy

Finn is great - finally started sleeping the 5-6 hrs again at night , so it was true what I was told 16-18 wks is a major growth time it seems.

diva your night out sounds fab, glad you had a good time

Mossy your dh god I'll throttle him - as always posted on ya thread...

Lunar - Toby sounds very clever already! Finn was so going for it and the stopped, he has rolled both ways abut 3 wks ago but not nothing...

thankfully the biting has ceased totally and normal service has resumed - although I now know he will take a tommee tippeee nipple mimicker type bottle with expressed milk so freedom beckons... ish..
Right
that's is aside from...

does anyone elses baby really hate being in a pram?

TheBlonde · 02/08/2007 08:21

shanks313 - hello! you are not invisible

eids - hope you have fun on the coast

rosy/sazzy - hope your trips go well too

dolly - there is a bra called goddess, figleaves sell it - very supportive although no cleavage to show iykwim

everyone else - hi!

So how many of the babies are over 6 mths now? I know Callie's is as he came early

I have only scanned the thread - are many people giving "solids" now?

I see mentions of crawling... I hope mine stays put for longer otherwise I will have to crack out the playpen again

Mossy · 02/08/2007 08:23

Piffle yes Bertie hates his pram too. glad biting has stopped!

Theblonde Bertie is only 3.5 months!!

kiwibella · 02/08/2007 09:31

ditto... Kate fusses in her buggy too. I usually end up carrying her and pushing the buggy . I went out with her in a baby backpack on the weekend though - I think I will look in to getting a proper sturdy one.

Kate is 5 months. She eats some of what we are eating but isn't "properly" on solids.

She complains about being on her tummy so I don't see her crawling any time soon.

Diva... enjoy the peace - those kiddliwinks will be back before you know it .

Rosy / Sazzy... have a fantastic time - travel safely.

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the sunshine .

Piffle mine really hates being in a pram too. We mainly take her out in the car seat attached to the pram chassis but she moans whatever we do. Now she's trying to sit up against the straps

Hiya

Just popping in for a quickie, as the actress said to the bishop

Shanks I was wondering the other day how you and Deanne are doing [waves] fancy a meet up in Brighton sometime?

Lunar - Toby is so clever he's very advanced isn't he? Did you ever ask your Mum at what age you sat up, crawled etc, or your DH. You''l probably find that one of you was very advanced too

TheBlonde - We gave Monti his first solids last night. Some organic pre-made parsnip/butternut squash. He practically grabbed the spoon off me - TBH I can't hold out any longer as he is waking every tow hours starving for food anfd I cannot go on like this. Last night I managed to get him to go 3 hrs between feeds again as he was a bit more content. He seems a lot happier today now he's got some solids in his system.

I'd forgotten how messy it all is though - we ended up with an orange stained bub and orange splattered clothes

Hi everyone [waves]

foxcub · 02/08/2007 13:02

opps - I think Monti is 22 weeks

muppethasakitten · 02/08/2007 15:19

I think Samuel must be 22 weeks then... isn't he the same as Monti? I have completely lost track - if they're nearly 5 months then that sounds about right doesn't it?

He is not crawling yet - I keep telling my other dc's off for putting him on all fours and trying to teach him! A crawling baby is the last bloody thing i need at the moment.

We are half-heartedly doing solids - little purees of things but trying to hold off as it's all such a mess and a faff... I'm too lazy

mossy - posted on your thread. Man your dh makes me and for you. What a pile of crap you are having to put up with.

Looked at weather forecast for Northumberland next week - bit of a mixed bag. Oh well.

muppethasakitten · 02/08/2007 15:19

rosy - think a visit to "Hogwarts" may well be in order!

muppethasakitten · 02/08/2007 15:20

do we need to start a new thread? [unable to do so emoticon]

muppethasakitten · 02/08/2007 15:20

Yes we do muppet - especially if you keep posting one-liners

muppethasakitten · 02/08/2007 15:21

stop talking to yourself muppet

kittywits · 02/08/2007 17:15

should I start another thread then, better check there isn't already one.

kittywits · 02/08/2007 17:18
