April 2007 - the babies get bigger and we get busier

[JoMa]

bit boring i know but not feeling very imaginative at the mo

Just popping in to say hi ladies, and that I havent been bombed or anything .

Have had a little catch up but cant remember jack shit..sorry. Hugs to everyone just to be on the safe side!!

Well we are back from our litle trip away - was lovely, posh hotel in the middle of nowhere-no moile fone coverage or internet... bliss!! We took charlie swimming - he absolutely loved it.. will try and upload pic sometime this week. He was an absolute angel, we ate dinner in the restaurant (jacket and tie job) and he just sat in hs car seat and smiled at everyone. A couple actually stopped me in the corridor this morning and said they had never een such a chilled out baby (proud mummy emoticon).

Right, I'm off to beddy-byes, probably wont be on for a few days as I'm off to mums.

Sure Dippy...now make sure you don't have that 4th baby just yet...I need time to get the nappy made

Glad you had a super lovely time & C was so good, GMM!

OK - nutty - I'll wait a wee while yet then!!

Have just bought 3 gro-bags on ebay

Dont even know if he'll sleep in them yet but were very cheap and 2 from same seller so will combine postage.

And if he doesnt like them can sell them on here!

Sorry not really caught up yet, too tired just needed to share my dirty secret!

hi all
just popped in to see what the mother-in-law from another planet had done to upset Dippy so much

the front of my house no longer looks so much like a scummy council house (and please forgive my snobbery here, my only defence is that i live in a council house, so i'm allowed to be rude about them !!! )

the plants have been cut back, the rubbish put in the bin, and everything generally tidied.

now started on my bedroom and off upstairs to watch The Devil Wears Prada whilst tidying

hope you all get a reasonable night [smiile]

ooh, on the bf thing, Joe really has followed the pattern that around weeks 3,6,9 he's fed far more frequently for about a week, then gone back to his usual 3 hourly feeds. as we are now approaching week 12 i'm expecting him to do the same this week

oooh Dippy, you should get Nutty to make MIL a fairy outfit for christmas

naughty girl pesha

let me know how you get on, Joe hates them so you can have the one i've got if D gets on ok with them

Right other than GMM, Nutty, LesleyR and ellie anybody else on facebook?
I am addicted thanks to ellie.
I should be in bed recovering but noooooooooooooooo I can't seem to get off the bloody computer.
I want more people to add to my friends so i don't look so sad and lonely (and so I can do graffiti(sp) on your page)

I'll hold you guys responsible if I wreck my keyboard spluttering tea all over it, specifically Ellie's suggestion re fairy outfit for CD's MIL.

don't blame me, Nutty started it!

have you got -
lazyemma?
mrcaptaindippy
captaindippy (tho she doesn't really use it)
gmm
lesleyr
nutty
pesha

and you can add my brother if you really want to!

I think it'd be quite apt

I have some, are they all on your friends?
Oh my god it is 11:15 I have to go to bed

they are, apart from dippy and mr dippy who are yet to reply

goodnight kneehigh and everyone, I have to go to bed.

might investigate facebook some time but not tonight, I'm back to spending too much time on the computer already, particularly since I've learned to get Danny to sleep on my lap while I use the computer - he wakes up as soon as I put him down to do anything else!

night Elkie, and anyone else still lurking, i'm off to bed too

Morning! Feeling bright and chirpy this morning, we seem to finally have got some kind of grip on night feeding so I feel refreshed even though he has had a feed in the night. He now just sleeps with us! lol.. does make life easier though to just grab him and stick him on and fall back asleep with him sucking away.

Oh man he´s just shat all over his bouncer. back in a mo...

Morning all.

Maveta, hope the bouncy chair survived??!!

K is sat in hers just now, but just started to grizzle a bit.

Mammyjo, good to see you hun.

Hope everyone has had good nights' and you are all feeling ready to face the World. Dh was up again at 3.30 to go to Holland, so feel a bit spaced - can never fall asleep properly after he has gone.

Better get showered etc. Back later.

right well, nappy change, shower, putting load of washing on etc etc later....

I´m back!

Had a fantastic weekend and feeling very refreshed and relaxed..a couple of friends came over yesterday to cook a paella at our house and it was YUMMY! Then it was so hot that all of us, 4 adults, 1 baby and 2 cats, completely passed out around the house for about 2 hours!! Then a wee half hour at the pool around 7pm and back home for a quiet night making tomato soup for the week...

Mum and dad back this afternoon so this morning is the last time I need to go and look after their cats.. phew!.. hopefully normal service will be resumed tomorrow including morning trips to pool etc. It really is very hot here now which among other things means that N sleeps A LOT. I didn´t realise how much until I saw how many of you say your wee ones are not sleeping much during the day. N falls asleep about 10pm, wakes at 4am for a feed, falls asleep, feeds at 8am, stays awake long enough for us to have coffee and breakfast and some minor early morning tidying and then falls asleep again til he eats at 12pm. He then might be awake for an hour or so but then sleeps AGAIN til his afternoon feed. His most awake time is then between 5pm - 9/10pm ish..

No signs of freeding fenzies/ cluster feeding but he´s never done that..

Am sitting here drinking my morning smoothie, which I am trying to make a regular thing (frozen summer fruits, a fresh nectarine, clementine juice) and about to try and haul my arse out the door for a walk before the day heats up and I am consigned to the sofa in front of the fan (even more boring than it sounds when tv is crap and no dvds to be found...).

P.S. TMI alert - had the most amazing S.E.X (GASP!) at the weekend... TWICE!! Sorry for the TMI, I really am, but had to share with someone!

Morning SOKL.. yes, it´s in the machine now.. just typical as I only just washed it yesterday! Ho hum, am getting very used to doing several loads a day so it no longer phases me!

Just annoying because we´ve had a couple of poo leaks lately (via legs) and it´s always when dh has put the nappy on. Seems he is worried about making the legs too tight on N and hurting him! awwww.. But to be fair I think he´s too big for the wraps we have and that is contributing. You know what that means.. yes, unfortunately I HAVE to buy more wraps. It´s a cruel cruel world...

Glad you had a lovely time Maveta- just popping by quick on way to shower .... have DD1 this morning again so won't get time to post as will be constantly entertaining her. Bugger.

LOL @ JM's suggestion of Fairy outfit for MIL!

Sorry I haven't replied on Facebook; but my 'pooter hates FB for some reason & is v.slow to access - will reply when it allows me to!!

Hopey ou all have GREAT days!!

good morning folks! pouring down with rain here - when is our summer gonna start!!! sorry for lack of personals for folsk - i can never keep track with this thread.

maveta - at your weekend antics. good on you - hope it isnt reserved for just the weekend!!!!!
GMM - yr weekend sounds lush. you gonna tell us about the tanning incident?
liath - made yr beer / marmalade cae. unfortunately it didnt last until it was cool before it was all scranned.

we have all been up since 7am - a lie-in for the missy! still doing 2 feeds at 2am and 5am. knackered but have to keep remembering that other than that she is a wee star. her latest trick is to yelp at anyone / anything that comes near here - her fav is old ladies who get a bit too close!

off to the docs - another bout of boob thrush to be dealt with! argh.

dd's playing with Duplo for 5 secs. hope you get thrush sorted wo. typing one handed & with the wrong hand so very difficult!!

maveta, glad you had a good weekend . Did you manage to watch the Cold Feet dvds? I still haven't got round to any DVDs, but I'm watching a ridiculous amount of TV, that and the computer are the easiest things to do with a baby who is often quiet and settled lying on my lap, but not when put down.

weeonion, sorry about the thrush.

I actually got Danny latched on last night. It was brief but he was sucking away for a few minutes, and I expressed a little more milk than usual over the last couple of weeks.

I'm hoping for a home visit from an NHS breast counsellor today, as I'm hoping to find some way to give Danny a little more milk of my own.

was about to change and feed baby but he's gone really quiet and settled, might see if it lasts a few more minutes, as he's been feeding quite frequently overnight.

hi maveta at good weekend!
btw i've found the bouncy chair cover anh head rest go in washing machine on hand wash cycle - 3 times (2 projectile vomits, one v runny poo!!)

oh and my assignent deadline has been put back to end of Aug!
Still would like to get it done tho
